In the city, murder is illegal, but in the jungle, if you kill a person and throw it away anywhere, after a short time, even the body will be eaten by the animals in the jungle. It is too unfair to die like this.
Well, there really isn't even a place for them to redress their grievances.
Zhang Qiang may not feel this kind of thing deeply, but Bender and Malik should feel it more deeply. Only they themselves know what they have done to the Dalits here.
Only they know what will happen to Dalits if they encounter nobles like them in the jungle.
Zhang Qiang was obviously worried in vain. Even if he gave Bender three courages, he would not dare to enter the jungle at will.
This is also an important reason why Korean peacocks can find agarwood in the jungle. Since the 1950s and 1960s, when China had not yet developed, this place has been occupied by these Dalit armed forces.
Although they did not formally revolt, they still acted as a deterrent to all the surrounding nobles, which is why this mountain forest has been preserved to this day.
Therefore, after China became stronger and needed a large amount of small-leaf red sandalwood, the nobles here simply sent people to cut down all the small-leaf red sandalwood.
They would never come here if they didn't have to.
After many years of development, Dalits have been oppressed and restricted, which has caused them to lose their own civilization and their heritage.
Living at the bottom of society for a long time makes it impossible for them to know what red sandalwood is. Of course, it is even less possible for them to know what agarwood is.
In fact, most Dalits do not know that many of them are also nobles.
In the Asan Kingdom, there are very few lower castes replacing the upper castes, and more foreign castes replace the native castes. For example, the Rajput tribes fought from the southern Asan Kingdom to the northern Asan Kingdom, and successfully replaced the original castes in the northern Asan Kingdom.
Dili.
The Tamil tribes also invaded Bengal from the three southern kingdoms, and successfully replaced the old aristocrats of the three eastern kingdoms, becoming Brahmins and Kshatriyas.
Today's Vaishyas in India are untouchables such as Dalits. Almost most of them are ancient Kshatriyas, and most of today's Kshatriyas are descendants of ancient tribes.
Therefore, the idea of princes and generals having peace with each other is not unique to China, but is also applicable to the Asan Kingdom.
Many Asan nobles in modern times have learned modern scientific knowledge, letting them know that blind oppression can only bring about stronger resistance.
That's why they bully those who should be bullied, and in villages like this, they obviously belong to those who shouldn't be bullied, so more and more Dalits gather here.
Now, more than a dozen small Dalit villages have been formed on the outskirts of this jungle.
Naturally, Bender would not tell Zhang Qiang about such a thing.
While several people were thinking about their own affairs, a pair of slightly embarrassed people outside came from a distance.
"Is that your servant?" Zhang Qiang was the first to see the group of figures.
Bender looked over and immediately jumped up in surprise: "Yes, it's my butler who brought the servant back."
As the group of people got closer and faster, a smile appeared on Bender's face.
And Zhang Qiang also noticed the smiles on those people's faces. It seemed that they would definitely gain something when they went out this time.
"Butler, what have you discovered?" Seeing the butler walking in, Bender was excited, but he still tried hard to maintain his majesty as a master.
"Young Master, we really discovered a big secret this time. If we do it well, our family will definitely reach a higher level." A man in his forties suppressed his joy and saluted Bender.
, and then announced the good news to his master with a tone of infinite joy.
Bender said: "Butler, what's the secret?"
"Did they find the small-leaf rosewood tree?"
"What are they hiding with those roots?"
Several people asked at the same time.
The housekeeper said: "They didn't find the small-leaf red sandalwood tree, and they didn't use those tree roots to cover up. In fact, the treasure is those tree roots, and they are looking for those tree roots."
"Tree roots? What kind of treasure are tree roots?" Several people were stunned at the same time.
The steward said: "At first we followed them. When we saw these people searching for tree roots all over the place, we thought they were hiding something. However, after we got deeper into the jungle, we discovered that they were not all kinds of tree roots.
Yes, but only certain ones.”
"What kind of roots do they want?" Bender asked curiously.
Zhang Qiang said: "They are not really doing root carvings, right? They choose to dig with good appearance?"
"No," the housekeeper said with a smile on his face: "You will never think that what they are looking for is the small-leaf red sandalwood tree that we have never been able to find."
"Small-leaf rosewood tree? Didn't you just say that they were looking for tree roots?" Bender said a little anxiously.
At this time, Zhang Qiang understood a little bit: "You mean, the roots they are looking for are the roots of the small-leaf red sandalwood tree?"
"Yes, they were specifically looking for tree stumps that were buried underground and that had been cut down for many years. We didn't know why they were there at first, but those people were too greedy, so they were exposed.
After going deep into the jungle, they spread out and wanted to find more small-leaf rosewood tree roots. This gave us a chance. However, their number was relatively small at that time, and they were not far from each other, so we just observed and did not
No real action.
But seven days ago, many people participated in the operation, so I sent a few servants to infiltrate their ranks. Unexpectedly, we actually discovered a problem."
The housekeeper swallowed as he spoke. He seemed to be thirsty.
"Hurry up, drink some water, take a breath, rest for a while, and then explain it more clearly to me." After all, the butler still has some status, so although Bender is anxious, he can't continue to press.
The housekeeper has done a great job, and now he wants to take a drink of water and take a rest, but he can't say anything.
The butler enjoyed the feeling of being noticed by his master for a while, rested for a while, drank a lot of water, and then said again: "We didn't believe it at first. They were really looking for tree roots. After all, there are a lot of tree roots in the jungle.
But later, after we sent people to sneak in, we discovered that they were not looking for tree roots randomly, but needed a red-colored tree root..."
"Red in color? That's mahogany. The red sandalwood and rosewood here are red. No matter what kind they are, their value is not low." Zhang Qiang said excitedly.
Bender said: "How did they find them? If we look for them, can we find them? Also, are there many tree stumps like this in the jungle?"
The housekeeper said: "It's not easy to find. I saw each of them carrying a steel rod and constantly poking into the ground. If you encounter a tree root, you have to see if the root is red. There are only red roots.
After being confirmed by some Chinese people following them, they would sit on the mark and wait for the large troops behind to dig and transport it back.
During this period, we also searched for some ourselves, but we didn't find any. The jungle is so vast that we couldn't figure out how they could easily find the roots of the small-leaf red sandalwood tree."
The housekeeper was confused, and Bender, Zhang Qiang and the others were not much better.
Of course they knew how big the jungle was. In such a large jungle, finding tree stumps buried underground was not much different from finding a needle in a haystack, so they also wanted to know how those untouchables found the tree stumps buried in the ground.
Underground small leaf red sandalwood tree stump.
Of course, they didn't know that Han Kongque had been preparing for this operation for a long time, so before coming here, Han Kongque and his family made a detailed study and analysis of the growth environment of small-leaf red sandalwood, the areas where it might appear, and tasted half-life in the surrounding areas.
What kind of tree or plant is it growing on?
He even wrote his own guide for finding small-leaf red sandalwood tree stumps. Only in open areas in the jungle, where trees have been cut down, can there be tree stumps.
Such a targeted search will naturally eliminate large areas of dense jungle. In this way, although the efficiency is still very low, the more people will naturally make up for the problem of work efficiency.
There are hundreds of people scattered in the jungle. Even if there is a one percent chance of finding a small-leaf red sandalwood tree stump every day, at least one person will be able to find it.
Although one tree stump is not much, over time, the accumulated number will be much.
What's more, small-leaf red sandalwood in ancient times was not as scarce as it is now, so there are many places suitable for the growth of small-leaf red sandalwood, and in places where small-leaf red sandalwood trees once grew, there are likely to be clusters of small-leaf red sandalwood tree stumps.
Over the past countless years, if old trees have been cut down, new trees will probably grow later. In the cycle of seven to eight hundred years, it is also possible for two or three small-leaf red sandalwood trees to grow.
If you encounter small-leaf red sandalwood forests that were cut down by ancient people, you will gain even more.
Therefore, since ancient times, in this jungle, the place where small-leaf red sandalwood trees have been produced, almost all the people sent by Han Kongque during the operation of this month have been cleared.
Almost all the small-leaf red sandalwood tree stumps they found appeared in patches, and everyone knows that it is difficult for small-leaf red sandalwood trees to form a forest. Therefore, there should be more single trees in the jungle after they have been cut down.
, the remaining tree stumps.
But such a tree stump is really hard to find. Unless you are extremely lucky and happen to step on this tree stump, otherwise, you want to find such a buried tree in the vast jungle and among countless trees.
The dead tree stump is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Han Kongque knew there was trouble, but he didn't take it too seriously. Without a detailed plan, how could he go to a foreign country to take advantage of others?
So when Han Xing came back, he was still polishing some small-leaf red sandalwood beads that he had just carved.
This time Han Peacock used no ordinary materials. This time he found a small piece of Venus gall material. Although this piece of material cannot be compared with the piece used to make the general jar, it is still very precious. After all, Qiantan
