Chapter 1359 Sandalwood

Han Peacock laughed and didn't say anything. He said just now that the fishermen couldn't help it. Otherwise, how else could he explain that he got so much seafood twice?

But now it is clear that Lao Zhang has misunderstood something, otherwise he would not have said it so profoundly.

Maybe they didn’t understand after seeing Lao Wang, Lao Zhang said proudly: “You all know Indonesia’s attitude towards foreign fishing boats, and there are many domestic fishing boats coming over, cooperating with the local Chinese, and flying the Indonesian flag.

If we fish here, won’t we be able to avoid trouble from the Indonesian Navy?”

"Is this okay?" Lao Wang said in surprise.

And Han Peacock was even more surprised. This is really a policy from above and a countermeasure from below. Chinese people have not been inflexible since ancient times. Otherwise, how could there be Chinese people living in every corner of the world?

Even though this was a barren land that Han Peacock thought, there were actually Chinese people living here, and even a hundred years ago, they were able to let the locals print Chinese characters on their currency. This was much better than the modern and powerful China.

"Why not? In this way, Indonesia can collect some taxes, otherwise the people in the tax bureau would starve to death just relying on their country's fishermen." Lao Zhang said sarcastically.

Seeing the eyes of many Chinese workers shining brightly, Lao Zhang continued: "Those Indonesian monkeys are not that stupid. They naturally know such things, so don't even think about going to Liangshan without doing it in twos and threes."

Recently, Indonesian Minister of Marine Fisheries Suzy Bugiastudi announced that it will strictly investigate and crack down on foreign vessels engaged in illegal, unreported, and unregistered fishing in Indonesian border waters.

And recently, the Indonesian Ministry of Marine Fisheries, together with the navy and police, used radar technology to successfully determine the illegal fishing behavior of foreign fishermen in Indonesian waters.

Therefore, some simple tricks are not easy to use now. Some camouflaged fishing boats have not paid a certain price. Their every move is controlled, and even the size of the fishing boat can be seen clearly.

Recently, the Indonesian government discovered that 33 fishing boats were operating illegally in the waters near Sulawesi.

Among them, 4 are small fishing boats with a tonnage of 60 tons, 22 are medium-sized fishing boats with a tonnage of 700, and the other two are large fishing boats with a tonnage of more than 1,000.

Based on the market price of mackerel of US$1.25 per kilogram, the Indonesian government loses US$1 million in revenue every time these ships catch a fish.

If you go fishing 6 to 7 times a year, the Indonesian government will lose US$7 million.

According to reports, on November 19, the Indonesian Ministry of Marine Fisheries seized five unregistered fishing boats operating in the waters near Indonesia’s Natuna Islands.

These boats fly the Indonesian flag. They are painted with Indonesian names and pretend to be Indonesian fishing boats, but in fact the crew are all Thai. The 61 crew members currently arrested are under investigation at the Pontianak Fishery Resources Monitoring Station in West Kalimantan.

Recently, Indonesia will introduce strict legal measures to crack down on illegal fishing. It will even sink illegal ships.

According to Indonesian Fisheries Law, fishery patrol ships have the right to take special measures to crack down on illegal activities, and can burn or sink foreign cross-border vessels if there is sufficient evidence.

Through satellite photos, the Indonesian Ministry of Marine Fisheries also discovered other illegal activities at sea, such as illegal transshipment of fish.

The usual method of these smugglers is to park large ships of more than 300 tons near the border of the South China Sea to pick up small boats stealing fish and cargo.

To this end, the Indonesian Ministry of Marine Fisheries is waiting for the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights to issue regulations prohibiting illegal transshipment of goods on the high seas.

Therefore, it is not that easy to make a fortune relying on a country's legal loopholes and regulatory loopholes, and Han Kongque is obviously considered by Lao Zhang to be the kind of capable person.

Obviously, this Lao Wang believed that Han Kongque was a capable person, so he came to East Timor. It is obviously easier and more cost-effective to operate here than in Indonesia.

Although Indonesia is overbearing, it is not impossible to avoid their supervision as long as you are willing to spend a small amount of money. For example, you can really affiliate yourself with a domestic fishery company in Indonesia, or join a fishery company in a country surrounding Indonesia.

Lao Wang thinks that the Korean peacock most likely came to East Timor because of this. Otherwise, it cannot explain why the Korean peacock has such powerful fishing skills. Only professional fishermen can do such a powerful thing.

"From now on, we come here often, and these seafood are nothing." At this time, Han Peacock also began to act as a professional fisherman.

"In the future, you can send us some seafood that is not too precious. As for the red fish and grouper, it is better to transport it back to the country!" Lao Wang looked at Han Peacock with a different look. This young man really

good.

If these seafood were shipped back to China by Han Peacock today, they would be sold for at least tens of thousands of yuan, but now they are given to them for 6,000 yuan. This is obviously taking care of them.

Han Kongque could only smile bitterly. He knew his own affairs. If he really had a fishing boat now, he would not think of fishing and selling fish.

Now Han Kongque doesn't even have a place to live, so he can only get some cash before his company's fishing boat comes to pick him up.

After collecting the money and chatting with the Chinese workers here for a while, it was completely dark outside.

Han Peacock smiled and said, "It's time for me to go."

Under the greetings of many people, Han Peacock walked out along a forest path.

Han Kongque had already made plans. He should return to the small valley where he came here, otherwise he would really have no place to go.

As for the python entangled in the tree, Han Peacock thought at this time, he might be able to get some unexpected gains. You must know that East Timor produces red sandalwood, and pythons like red sandalwood trees very much.

If you can make a python wrap around a tree and not want to leave, then the tree is probably a rosewood tree.

According to Xuanzang's "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", because pythons like to sit on sandalwood trees, people often use this to find sandalwood.

When the sandalwood collectors saw the python, they drew their bows from a distance and shot arrows at the big tree where the python was sitting to mark it, and waited until the python left before cutting it down.

The handicrafts carved from sandalwood are extremely precious because of their fragrance, which makes them linger in your home for a long time.

Sandalwood has the function of fumigation when placed in the cabinet, giving your clothes a light natural and noble fragrance.

Today's sandalwood is extremely precious, and the current market price of good-quality sandalwood is more than several thousand yuan per kilogram.

my country's natural sandalwood trees have been cut down as early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and now domestic sandalwood logs are all imported.

Due to the harsh growth conditions of sandalwood and extremely low output, the only natural sandalwood left in the world is India and Australia. Strict protection measures and high tariffs restrict exports, making sandalwood rarely seen on the market.

Of course, East Timor also produces rosewood, and East Timor sandalwood is a relatively high-quality species of the Sandalwood family in the plant kingdom.

Sandalwood belongs to the Santalaceae family of the plant family. Sandalwood is mainly produced in hot and humid areas such as eastern India, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Southeast Asia, Australia, and Fiji.

Among them, the old sandalwood produced in India is the best.

The characteristics of Indian sandalwood are its white to yellow color, high oil content, and long-lasting fragrance.

However, the sandalwood produced in Australia, Indonesia and other places is inferior in texture, color and fragrance, and is called "Johor Baru sandalwood". The rosewood produced in East Timor does not belong to "Johor Baru sandalwood".

Rosewood trees are mainly produced in hot and humid areas such as eastern India, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Southeast Asia, Australia, and Fiji. This is mainly because the tree species it is parasitic on are also produced in these areas.

Among them, the old sandalwood produced in India is the best product. The characteristics of Indian sandalwood are white to yellow color, large oil content, and long-lasting fragrance.

However, the texture, color and fragrance produced in Australia, Indonesia and other places are inferior and are called "Johor Baru Sandalwood".

Although Timor Island is geographically close to Indonesia and other places, the sandalwood produced in Timor is of the same quality as that produced in India, so the rosewood here is more sought after and more valuable.

Even if the red sandalwood is useless, it is still expensive because it can make sandalwood.

Rosewood has always been regarded as a treasure when used to make incense. However, burning sandalwood alone does not have a good smell. However, if it can be skillfully combined with other spices, it can "bring the fragrance to a very high level."

Handicrafts carved from sandalwood are more precious and will last longer when placed indoors.

At the same time, sandalwood is also an important traditional Chinese medicinal material. Doctors say: "It is pungent and warm; it returns to the spleen, stomach, heart, and lung meridians; it acts as a heart-warmer, appetizer and relieves pain."

Sandalwood can be applied externally to reduce inflammation and swelling, moisturize the skin, and fumigation can sterilize and dispel plague, which is even more important for outsiders.

Therefore, both Eastern and Western people attach great importance to this kind of thing. In this tropical area, anything that can drive away plague is considered a treasure.

Although the small valley where the Korean peacock suddenly appeared is not big, it is very secretive. Isn't it strange for a python to appear in such a densely populated place?

If the small valley hadn't been relatively secluded, even if there were rosewood trees, they would have been chopped down. Of course, a python would not dare to stay in a crowded place.

With hope, Han Kongque quickened his pace, but when Han Kongque walked into the small valley, he began to be very cautious.

A three to four meter long python is not easy to deal with. If one is not careful and is attacked by it, the Korean peacock will be in trouble.

Han Kongque released his spiritual sense and carefully explored the surroundings. Although Han Kongque's magical perception was much weaker without the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, he was still able to detect the situation within thirty meters of the surrounding area.

After searching around, I found that there was no large animal in this small valley, only some insects and birds, and the python had disappeared.

According to his memory, he walked to the big tree. It was a big tree with a diameter of more than 40 centimeters and many branches. Through the trunk and leaves, Han Peacock recognized it as a red sandalwood tree at a glance. (~
