Yang Jing didn't know how much he drank at noon. Anyway, when he woke up, it was already dawn the next day.

Fortunately, although I was completely discontinued, my head didn't hurt after I woke up. These barley wines were all serious grain wines. Although the taste was not as good as Mao, Wulu, but they tasted a different taste. In addition, a generous Tibetan man kept toasting, and Yang Jing drank too much after drinking.

Hearing Yang Jing's movement to get up, the oil lamp in the outer room lit up. After a while, Tashi Tseren walked in with an oil lamp in one hand and a bowl of steaming oil tea in the other. In this era, in such a remote mountainous area, there was no electricity yet.

"Drink some oil-cooked tea mats, just cushion. You didn't know what happened yesterday. I couldn't wake you up even if you asked me to eat for dinner. Now that I'm sober, I guess I'm hungry. Let's drink some oil-cooked tea mats first."

Yang Jing shook his head, which was still a little dizzy, quickly got out of bed, took the steaming bowl of crispy tea with both hands, and said, "I am really grateful for your reception, but I am also sorry that I was rude when I drank too much."

When the old man heard this, he smiled slightly, "It's okay. In fact, if you don't drink too much, we will be unhappy. As a man of our collector, if we can't accompany our noble guests, it's our own rudeness."

Yang Jing smiled bitterly and said, "These are so good. You have completed the task, but I feel uncomfortable." As he said that, Yang Jing took a sip of crispy tea, and the fragrance immediately cheered up Yang Jing, "It tastes good! It tastes really good!"

Perhaps he really felt hungry, Yang Jing ignored the burning of his tongue and drank the big bowl of crispy tea in a few seconds. He felt hot in his chest and abdomen, and some dizziness that had originally disappeared in his mind.

"Do you want another bowl?" The old man looked at Yang Jing with joy.

Yang Jing shook his head and said, "Thank you, this bowl is very good."

Yang Jing raised his hand and looked at his watch and found that it was almost eight o'clock in the morning, but there was a time difference between this place and Yanjing, so the sky was just dawn at this time.

Yang Jing found that Austin had been standing outside the door, so he waved to him. After Austin came in, Yang Jing asked, "Are our people awake?"

Austin replied: "The old man made a good arrangement yesterday. We all lived in these houses, and now they are awake."

The two of them communicated in English, but the old man couldn't understand it, but Yang Jing quickly said: "Old man, I really thank you very much for your hospitality yesterday. Now we are all awake, and it's time for us to go into the mountain to complete our mission."

The old man said, "Then let's have breakfast before leaving, and..." The old man said, taking out a large stack of Franklins and putting it to Yang Jing, "I can't collect this money. When you come here, you are our guests. Where can the host collect money from the guests?"

Yang Jing smiled and waved his hand, pushed the money back and said, "Old man, please take this money first, don't think it's too little. Let me tell you the truth, we went into the mountain this time to survey a jade mine not far from here. If the survey is done, the jade mine will start mining at the latest this summer. And you are the closest living place to the jade mine, so you can take this money to see if you can open a restaurant here or something. Our workers can also have a hot meal here. This money is for you to use to make this."

Nowadays, even if you open a small restaurant in a big city, it will only cost a few thousand yuan. Two thousand dollars, even if you exchange it according to the official exchange rate, you can exchange it for more than seven thousand yuan. If you exchange it from an unofficial place, you dare not say 20,000 yuan, but 15,000 yuan is definitely a foregone conclusion.

Tashi Tsering obviously understood the matter, "This is not OK. Even if you open a hotel, the money will be too much."

"If you take it, you will take it. At worst, the next time I come back, will you be able to have a good meal?"

The old man stopped paying back the money, but he still asked, "Is it really going to develop a jade mine here?"

"Well, eight or nine are not far from you, and the location of the jade mine is not very far from you."

"Then, if the jade mine is really open, can the men here come in and be workers?"

"Haha, don't worry about this. As long as they don't dislike the hard work and are willing to do this job, I promise they can go to the mountains to work as workers, and their wages will not be small."

When the old man heard this, he rubbed his hands happily, and then said as if he had remembered something: "How about you going into the mountain today and let my son Danzeng Tsering go with you. There are horses and yaks at home, and your luggage can be carried by these animals. Moreover, Danzeng should be more familiar with the situation in the mountains. With him as a guide, you will save a lot of trouble."

The old man mentioned Danzeng Ciren was also seen by Yang Jing while drinking yesterday. He knew that he was a very honest Tibetan man in his forties, so he thought about it and nodded and agreed.

This time I entered the mountain, I should indeed recruit a local Tibetan, but I am the guide. Although the area he selected was only seven or eight kilometers away from the straight line, it was in the mountainous area, and in the Kunlun Mountains. If you really want to walk a straight line of seven or eight kilometers, it would take at least fifteen kilometers or even twenty kilometers. It is obviously a good thing to have a Tibetan who is familiar with the local mountain conditions to lead the way.

Of course, the happy old man did not let Yang Jing and the others leave directly. Yang Jing and the others spent more than half an hour having a breakfast of tsampa + crispy tea, and then bid farewell to the wise old man and other Tibetans. Then, under the leadership of the old man's son Dan Zeng Tseren, he began a hiking journey into the mountain.

Because of Danzeng Tsering's joining, the team expanded to nine people and two yaks. The addition of these two yaks completely liberated their group, otherwise everyone would have to carry something weighing nearly twenty kilograms into the mountain.

Now with these two hard-working yaks, they can hand over the things they carry to these two yaks for transportation. There are less than 300 kilograms of things in total, and these two yaks are so relaxed and comfortable to carry.

The direction of the Achik River Valley is northwest-southeast. After leaving the house of Tsering Tseren, walking along the valley for about two kilometers, all the farmlands in the valley disappeared, the width of the valley quickly dropped to about fifty meters, and the hillsides on both sides became steeper.

"Mr. Liu, can roads be built in such a narrow river valley? I mean, can two-lane roads be built in two-way and two-lane roads?" Yang Jing walked while looking at the surrounding landforms and asked Liu Changchuan that he was an engineer of the Highway Bureau. He said that he could build roads here.

Since we are going to open a jade mine here, the traffic problem of inlet and exit is the first problem to be solved. Without good transportation, it would be better if the jade mine was not opened.

Liu Changchuan obviously understood what he was going to do with him. He took out his notebook and wrote and painted it on it from time to time. Now when he heard Yang Jing ask, he nodded and said, "The geographical conditions of this river valley are very good. It would be fine if the third-class highway is built. At least until here, it would be fine to build a third-class highway."

After a pause, Wang Changyou explained while walking: "In our country, a third-class highway refers to a two-lane road with two-lane roads. The width of this kind of roadbed is generally 7.5 meters, and the width of each lane is 3 meters. In addition, there are 75 cm shoulders on both sides, which together form a 7.5-meter-wide roadbed."

"However, according to the current situation in the valley, if you continue to move forward, the third-class highway will probably not be easy to repair. Even if you have forced it, the maintenance work in the future will be a big problem. Mr. Smith, if you can, can you consider the fourth-class highway?"

"Class IV highway? Is that kind of single-lane highway?"

"Well, to be precise, it should be a two-way single lane. The roadbed of this kind of highway is narrower than that of a third-class highway. The standard roadbed of a fourth-class highway is six meters wide and the net lane width is 3.5 meters. However, in special areas, this standard can be appropriately relaxed. For example, we can reduce the width of the road shoulders and the lane width can also be reduced. However, in this way, car meetings will become a problem. A car meeting point needs to be built at a distance to ensure safe car meetings."

Yang Jing nodded slightly and said, "Don't draw a conclusion for the time being. Let's continue to move forward and see. I mean to build a standard third-class highway as much as possible. If it is really impossible, let's consider reducing the width of the roadbed."

Liu Changchuan nodded and said no further.

The westernmost edge of the area that Yang Jing chose when he was flying in the air that day was only a few hundred meters away from the straight line of the Achik Valley. However, within these hundreds of meters, there was a mountain with an altitude of more than 2,500 meters.

Therefore, if you want to enter the target area from the Achik Valley, you must go around from both sides of the mountain.

At this time, the two mountains in front of us began to bend the originally straight river channel, and the bending degree was quite large. However, after walking through this curved river channel about 1.5 kilometers long, the valley in front became narrower, but it became straighter again.

Liu Changchuan stayed near this curved river for a long time, and wrote and painted on the notebook for a long time before he found Yang Jing and said, "Mr. Smith, if the road wants to pass through this section of the river valley, it is necessary to build a winding mountain road. Unless we dig a tunnel from this mountain, we can only cross the ridge through the winding mountain road."

Yang Jing asked, “Is it difficult?”

"It's not difficult. The hillsides of this mountain are relatively flat. It's not a problem to build a winding mountain road, it just increases the mileage of the road."

"Well, as long as you can build a road, it doesn't matter if you increase the mileage."

In this way, Yang Jing and Liu Changchuan went all the way to discuss, and they cooked lunch in the valley. Fortunately, these people are well-trained people, and this difficulty of climbing cannot help them.
