It is not surprising to find living small-leaf red sandalwood trees in the jungle, but it is even stranger to find small-leaf red sandalwood trees that have grown for thousands of years, but it is not impossible to happen.
But for such a small-leaf red sandalwood tree, if you don't cut off the branches and leaves, but try to keep the roots, it can still be transported completely from the jungle in seven or eight days. This is a bit fantasy.
But Gao Fei got it back and used five elephants, including moving and dragging, to transport this small-leaf red sandalwood tree back.
Although many branches and leaves of this small-leaf red sandalwood tree were inevitably damaged when it was transported back, the main body was not damaged much.
So after seeing this big tree, Han Peacock immediately decided to put it away by himself.
Last night, after encouraging them with a few words, Han Kongque sent those extremely tired people away directly. The reward was certain, but judging from their fatigue, they must just want to sleep now.
After the others left, Han Peacock directly put the small-leaf red sandalwood tree into the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, and deliberately left the root part of the tree without wrapping air bubbles, so that the small-leaf red sandalwood tree could be placed under the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.
, absorb some active water and restore your vitality.
Hearing Zhao Hanyan mention the thousand-year-old small-leaf red sandalwood tree again, Han Peacock inevitably glanced at the thousand-year-old red sandalwood tree in the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.
This is a small-leaf red sandalwood with a thick and low trunk. Although the trunk is only a little over one meter, its diameter is also more than one meter. On this thick trunk, it sends out eight branches, each branch is
Like another main trunk, if it is far away, it will look like eight trees growing together.
The diameter of these eight branches reached more than fifty centimeters. Although such small-leaf red sandalwood would definitely affect its value, Han Peacock did not expect to chop them down and make furniture.
Generally, it takes at least 50-60 years for an Indian small-leaf rosewood tree sapling to grow from small to mature and ready to be cut down.
And all red sandalwood trees have to go through such a long time, which is why the wood of red sandalwood trees is so expensive.
Generally, when the tree trunk grows to about 20 centimeters, it will be cut down. You must know that "ten sandalwood trees and nine empty spaces" are not a joke. If you want to make the red sandalwood tree grow as thick as possible, then
Faced with the danger of hollow trees.
When you find that many red sandalwood trees have become hollow, you will understand why the tree trunks are cut down when they grow to nearly 20 centimeters!
Because no matter how thick the Indian small-leaf red sandalwood trees are, nine out of ten trees will have holes, which will definitely affect the processing and use of the material in the future, and of course the selling price.
Therefore, although the thousand-year-old sandalwood tree obtained by Han Peacock is rare, it is not necessarily precious. If the eight branches are not hollow, maybe Han Peacock will make a profit. If most of them are hollow, then this thousand-year-old red sandalwood tree will be considered as valuable.
Even if you cut it down, you will only get some wood that is not very good.
Of course Han Peacock would not do such a thing, so he collected the entire tree.
For all the people who worked hard and used three elephants to transport this huge tree back, Han Peacock rewarded them heavily.
Although elephants helped, it was definitely a struggle to transport such a big tree back.
Therefore, when the local Dalits are given heavy rewards, although many Dalits are envious, they are only envious, but not jealous, because that is what they deserve.
And they valued Han Kongque's generosity even more. When they learned that Han Kongque had a company in Mysore, they would continue to purchase some things from here in the future. This made the Dalits here even more happy and supported Han Kongque and the others even more.
.
Although they were about to leave, Han Peacock was certainly very happy to see that these Dalits were still so unenthusiastic.
Just when Han Kongque was happy, many people were also happy. Among them was Ben De, and of course, Zhang Qiang.
And just as happy as them were the police in this county.
In this county, the Bender family is king. They asked the police to raid a small Dalit village with no problem at all.
When the police officers leading the team knew that what they came to seize was a batch of valuables, they became even happier.
In this poor place, it is absolutely lucky to encounter such a mission. They will never let go of such a lucrative mission.
Therefore, the people who know you best are your own people. This is one of the reasons why Bender is so confident that he can swallow up all the gains of Han Peacock.
"Are they all back?" Bender began to ask his housekeeper. Since the housekeeper came back with his servants, he naturally no longer needs to monitor the situation in the village personally.
"Young Master, they are all back, and no one left the village this morning. It seems that their operation is over." The housekeeper said respectfully.
This time he went out with the young master to do something, and he has made a great contribution. If things go well, not only the young master's family, but also their servants will benefit greatly this time.
Because by this time, he also knew the value of the tree lumps in the village. They were all small-leaf red sandalwood tree stumps!
Ordinary Asan people, and even some ordinary servants, may not know what Xiaoye Rosewood is, but as the chief steward of a family, can he not know?
A small piece of small-leaf rosewood can be carved into a string of prayer beads. Such beads can easily be sold for thousands of rupees in Mysore.
It can be said that a little bit of wood can cover his monthly salary. How much small-leaf rosewood wood is there in the village at this time?
However, in the past seven days, they had seen hundreds of small-leaf red sandalwood trees transported into the village. How much is so much small-leaf red sandalwood wood worth?
Thinking of this, the butler was happy, and Bender was also very happy. Of course, Zhang Qiang's heart was also full of passion.
Apart from them, the only ones with shining eyes were the police. They were the main force. Since they were the main force, they were the first ones to rush into the village. Being among the first people to enter naturally had some advantages.
When it was time to act, they also knew that what they came to inspect this time was small-leaf red sandalwood, which is a kind of precious wood. It is an important forestry resource in their Asan country and one of the important economic trees for export to earn foreign exchange.
How can such economic forest trees be illegally harvested by foreigners?
So they had every reason to confiscate these priceless items.
And will Han Peacock be what they think?
Of course, they don't need to pay attention to Han Peacock, because this is on their territory, and they can do whatever they want.
So, when they were sure they could close the net, the police rushed into the village without hesitation.
The high walls in the village have not brought any safety to the Dalits here.
The policemen were heavily armed and rushed into the village like wolves and tigers. They originally thought they would be blocked by armed forces in the village, but things were not as they imagined.
They quickly rushed into the village and came to the most empty square in the village, because it was too conspicuous.
In the middle of the square are some foreigners. Behind those foreigners are tall wooden boxes. They all know that those wooden boxes contain the things they need.
Outside the wooden boxes and foreigners, there were all the untouchables in the village, but not a single Dalit female soldier they were concerned about.
Although this made the police a little worried, they were not afraid either. Dalits were untouchables. It would be fine if they secretly retaliated against them. But if they resisted the local government head-on now, Dalits could not afford the consequences.
Thinking of this, these policemen began to rush into the crowd with confidence and violently drove away the villagers.
The villagers were well prepared. When they saw these people rushing in, they did not stop them at all, but obediently moved out of the way.
Han Kongque looked coldly at the few people walking in front. The one walking in the front was naturally Bender. Next to Bender was Malik and a stout Asan Kingdom policeman.
Zhang Qiang stood beside Bender and the others, acting as a translator at this time.
Looking at those huge wooden boxes, the fire in Zhang Qiang's heart almost ignited him.
With this supply of goods, as long as he transports it back to China, he will immediately become the absolute big brother in the small leaf red sandalwood industry.
With such a batch of old small-leaf red sandalwood materials, everyone wants to get some profit. No matter how high the price is, no one will hesitate at all.
Today's Chinese people's pursuit of small-leaf red sandalwood has reached a morbid level.
In fact, this is nothing more than wearing some fragrance and looking at the beautiful wood. As for whether wearing this thing can really cure diseases and how effective it is, only God knows.
Han Kongque said nothing. Bai Yi, a company lawyer, came over with the support of several tall Dalit women.
Although those Dalit women did not wear camouflage, they were the instructors of the girl soldiers in the village. They were the Dalit female soldiers of the previous generation. With their protection, Han Kongque could rest assured and let Bai Yi handle all this.
"We are from an import and export trading company affiliated with the China Bagua Group. I wonder why you have surrounded us?" Bai Yi did not look at Bender, but spoke directly to the stout policeman.
"I am Sergeant Darwadi of this county's police station. I am the local Mr. Bender. I am accusing you of stealing precious wood from his house, so we are here to investigate." Darwadi said.
"Theft? I don't know what Bender you are talking about. What is the precious wood in his house? Where was it lost? What does it have to do with us? What evidence do they have to prove that these tree stumps here are the ones that were lost in their house?
"?" Bai Yi asked La Jiawa to translate.
The translator around Darwadi was incompetent at this time. Zhang Qiang's Ahsan language was only half-assed. If he was slower, he could still translate, but if he was faster, he couldn't.
