Han Peacock looked at the two elephants leisurely eating leaves on one side. Their size alone deterred many predators in the jungle. After all, they were not the two old and weak elephants, but strong and mature adults.
elephant.
If they encounter danger, the elephants can give them an early warning and tell them that there is danger. In addition, the view here is wide and they are not easily attacked by wild beasts. In this way, the Korean peacocks are really not afraid of wild beasts coming to attack them.
After a while, everything that should be arranged was arranged, and Han Peacock got up again, ready to look for it again, and maybe he could collect a lot of agarwood.
At this time, Han Xing also knew what Han Kongque had discovered, so he was also very excited. Bai Xiaoyi and the others had already run to the agarwood tree in the distance to visit the agarwood tree.
Han Peacock could hear their chatter and laughter from a distance. Since Weijia and others were guarding them, Han Peacock didn't worry about their safety and ignored them.
However, among the few words that came from afar, Han Kongque discovered that he had really overlooked something.
For example, these living agarwood trees can be said to be full of treasures, but Han Peacock only saw the agarwood produced by the agarwood tree species, but ignored this small piece of agarwood forest.
Agarwood is full of treasures. The leaves can be processed into tea, and the essence of agarwood can be extracted. One gram of agarwood can be worth ten thousand gold. The raw branches pruned from ordinary branches every year are also purchased and sold to pharmacies for dispensing. The fruits can be sold or you can cultivate seedlings for sale.
.
If all these agarwood trees are dug up, this visit to Asan Kingdom will not be in vain.
You must know that planting agarwood is also very promising. As long as the environment is not too outrageous, agarwood trees are easy to plant and grow. They are definitely a tree species that is very suitable for large-scale planting.
Planting agarwood, harvesting gold, this is true at all. The leaves of agarwood tree from young leaves to old leaves can be deeply processed into agarwood tea. Han Kongque owned a tea garden. Although he didn't have much thought about management, he added a kind of agarwood.
Tea is also very good.
Agarwood tree stems are processed into hygienic incense. As long as you light it at home. Mosquitoes are most afraid of the smell of agarwood, but it repels mosquitoes but does not kill mosquitoes. It is the king of incense used and recognized by various religions around the world;
The small agarwood stems are processed into 3-4cm length and purchased by the medicinal materials department. After 5-6 years of planting the agarwood tree, the diameter of the tree has reached more than 15cm. At this time, artificial fragrance can be made.
Artificial incense can be harvested in 2 to 3 years. Agarwood is rich in life elements, such as calcium, zinc, iron, manganese...etc. It has the ability to calm nerves and meridians, wake up the brain, clear the liver and nourish the spleen and stomach, and clear the body.
It has remarkable effects on helping sleep, eliminating flatulence, indigestion, detoxifying and beautifying, lowering blood sugar and lipids, and anti-cancer.
After cutting down the agarwood tree head, leave it for three to five years. If it is a good agarwood tree, its value may be more than the tree body.
Such a good thing is hard to come by, and he was extremely lucky to encounter such a small patch of agarwood trees in the jungle.
Although the booming agarwood market in China has spawned a large number of agarwood tree plantations, it is not so easy for those plantations to harvest agarwood.
Especially grown agarwood trees are very expensive, as long as they can produce incense, they are expensive, but planting incense is not as cheap.
The prerequisite for the agarwood tree to produce fragrance is that the tree must grow to a certain extent, and the oil glands of the tree are fully grown, which can provide sufficient resin secretion. Once the fragrant tree is injured, the tree will automatically secrete resin, and after a series of changes, it will
Becomes agarwood.
Generally speaking, a wild agarwood tree needs to grow for more than 30 years before the tree itself has enough oil glands to secrete resin.
It is difficult for fragrant trees that are less than 30 years old to produce incense. Only when they grow to more than 30 years and have mature oil glands can they secrete enough resin for incense to be produced after being injured.
Of course, modern cultivated agarwood trees can produce incense in six to seven years, but the quality of such incense can be imagined.
And in this small patch of agarwood trees here, none are smaller than the mouth of a bowl. Such agarwood trees will never grow so thick in thirty or fifty years.
There are more than a hundred agarwood trees growing continuously here, most of which are 7 to 10 meters high and as thick as a bowl. Among them are two agarwood trees with a diameter at breast height of about 70 centimeters. These two agarwood trees have been growing for at least a hundred years and are more than 20 meters tall.
high.
From the appearance, the agarwood tree is similar to ordinary tree species, with dark gray bark and snake-skin-like patterns.
However, these agarwood trees were all staggering, so Han Kongque concluded that they had encountered large mudslides or floods, otherwise they would not be like this.
"Brother, are these agarwood trees?" Han Xing sent La Jawa, the translator, to Liu Xu and Bai Xiaoyi's side, while he himself followed Han Peacock.
Han Kongque said: "These are all agarwood trees. You see, those agarwood trees should have been injured, and they can all produce incense. However, we have never dug incense once, so we don't know how to dig it."
Surprisingly, Han Xing said: "I know a little bit about this. I have read information on this. Agarwood is pregnant in the belly of an ancient tree. It may be in the root, trunk or branch. It cannot be seen from the outside.
The ancients would knock the root with an ax and listen to it, then they would know where the knot was and break the tree to get it."
Han Peacock smiled and said: "So there is no other way to collect it. Just find agarwood with alienated resin, cut it down and collect it?"
Han Xing said: "When I was in school, one of our professors liked agarwood very much, so he once told us in class that incense pickers in ancient times could not act alone. At least five or six people formed a group of incense pickers.
Because there are too few people in the mountains to support, and too many people are not conducive to distribution. The time to go up the mountain is usually very long. If the time is too long, it will be difficult to support the energy. If the time is too short, it will be difficult to search for good fragrance.
Incense picking tools are particularly indispensable. The most basic tools include pickaxes for digging, knives, saws, hooks, etc.
The necessities of life in the mountains must also be prepared and carried with vegetables, rice, meat, dried vegetables, etc. If it rains, incense pickers have to hide in caves, and sometimes even eating becomes a problem.
When picking incense, the first step is to identify it. In fine weather, agarwood leaves seem to become soft and shiny. Experienced incense pickers can see this quality from a certain distance.
If it is a fragrant tree with smooth bark, it has not yet produced incense. If there are galls, holes, etc., then you need to pay special attention to it, as it often has fragrant aroma.
The skin and soil of incense buried underground will be a bit dark in color. Generally, no flowers or plants will grow on such mounds of soil.
There is good fragrance under such black soil, and some of the incense knots have grown into the cracks in the rocks underground due to age. Such fragrance needs to be carefully hooked out of the cracks in the rocks to maintain its intact properties."
"You know how to memorize it, but can you put it into practice?" Han Peacock's eyes dimly looked at the black earth beneath his feet.
The soil here is a bit dark in color, and there are large areas in this place where no flowers or grass grow. No wonder the water and soil here are good, but nothing grows! It turns out that there is agarwood underneath.
Perhaps because he understood Han Peacock's eyes, Han Xing couldn't help but follow Han Peacock's gaze and look at the ground.
"Brother, are you saying there is agarwood down here?" Han Xing was a little unbelievable.
Han Kongque said: "Look at the surrounding environment. It is very suitable for agarwood trees to grow here. And look at this bend. If there is a flood on the mountain, will it hit this bend? You are looking at these agarwood trees.
Do they look like they were washed away by the flood?"
Han Xing said: "If that's the case, why are there agarwood trees here but not one in the river bend over there?"
Han Kongque said: "You need to carefully analyze the terrain here. See if the ground is higher the closer it is to the river? The bend of this river has been raised a lot due to continuous siltation over the years.
So even if there are trees here, they are probably buried underground."
Although what Han Kongque said was speculation, his water control power clearly told him that what he said was true. Under their feet, there were many trees buried in the mud.
Although it is not certain that these are agarwood trees, it is true that there are trees. Combined with the fact that the land above the agarwood is barren of grass, it is even more likely that there are agarwood trees below.
Han Peacock speculated that the trees in the bend of the river were not buried underground in a year or two, but it took countless years to form the scene here.
Perhaps, every year during the rainy season, flash floods break out on the mountain, washing here once. Finally, after countless washings, the current situation was formed.
If Han Kongque hadn't come here, the hundred or so agarwood trees that Han Kongque and the others saw now might have been buried under the mud when the next flood peak came.
The small swamp not far away is the best evidence. That swamp should have been formed by the impact of this year's flash flood. If this is true, a large amount of wealth must be buried in this small river bend.
If the silt brought by the flood buries the agarwood trees underneath at once, you may be able to obtain some agarwood, but more than one washout will definitely make this buried agarwood forest produce more agarwood.
And now, what is the texture of the agarwood produced in the agarwood tree that has been buried underground for countless years?
After the agarwood tree dies, it is buried in the water and soil. It absorbs the essence of the sun, moon, water and earth. After hundreds of thousands of years of spring, summer, autumn and east gestation, what level can its quality reach?
Looking at the surrounding terrain, sensing the distribution of agarwood below, and imagining the possible output underground, even with Han Peacock's extensive knowledge, he felt a little greedy, if this place is really as he speculated
, this time he is really going to make a fortune.
Han Peacock and Han Xing discussed it, and Han Peacock said his plan, so Han Xing no longer drooled at the dark land, but focused on the living agarwood trees. (To be continued, please search.
