Siheyuan, my new life
Chapter 448: Stop 1 A3
When the jeep that Lin Yu was riding in flew high into the sky, several figures flashed in different directions at the same time. This time, all the bodyguards in the paradise were dispatched. Except for Zhou Hong and Zhou Huang who stayed in the capital to be responsible for the safety of their families and homes, the other bodyguards had just followed Lin Yu's instructions and went straight to their goals.
At this time, Lin Yu was sitting in the jeep driven by Zhou Tian, chatting with him about some characteristics and effects of red sandalwood, as well as the strange things in the magical country of Asan.
In fact, Lin Yu had already introduced the basic characteristics of the small-leaf red sandalwood tree to Zhou Yu and other protectors who had rushed to the Eastern Ghats of Asan. They had gone ahead to find and mark the exact location of the small-leaf red sandalwood tree in advance. After Lin Yu arrived, they could directly arrange for the low-level puppets in the paradise to cut down and dig.
Lin Yu later knew that due to long-term excessive logging, the small-leaf red sandalwood resources in India were severely damaged. In order to obtain higher profits, the Indian government began to strictly control the mining and export of small-leaf red sandalwood. As a result, the price of small-leaf red sandalwood soared rapidly. The price per cubic meter quickly soared from tens of thousands of dragon coins to tens or even millions of dragon coins.
Due to the vigorous promotion by some domestic businesses, and the fact that China has a long tradition of using small-leaf red sandalwood to create high-end furniture and furnishings, those so-called private entrepreneurs who have become rich overnight are all proud to own a set of small-leaf red sandalwood furniture, which has further boosted the price of domestic small-leaf red sandalwood.
In addition, with the substantial improvement in the living standards of the Chinese people, the concept of "gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times" has become more popular. For ordinary people, they may not be able to afford antiques and curios that cost tens or hundreds of millions, but it is not a problem to spend hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan to buy a small-leaf red sandalwood bracelet. With the promotion of merchants, those small-leaf red sandalwood bracelets made from the leftover scraps from furniture making were suddenly sought after by ordinary people. Almost many so-called successful people wear a small-leaf red sandalwood bracelet on their wrists. Even Lin Yu was no exception and followed the trend to buy a so-called ghost-eye gold star small-leaf red sandalwood bracelet.
The skyrocketing price of domestic red sandalwood has made Indian politicians and businessmen see opportunities. They have not only significantly increased the export tariffs on red sandalwood, but also used various means to drive up the market price of red sandalwood, allowing these greedy guys to take the opportunity to make huge profits.
This time, Lin Yu planned to teach Asan a good lesson. As long as there were any small-leaf red sandalwood trees that were thicker than a bowl, he would kill them all.
You should know that the small-leaf red sandalwood tree grows extremely slowly, and it only grows one ring every five years. It takes at least hundreds of years for a wild small-leaf red sandalwood tree to grow from germination to maturity. Those large small-leaf red sandalwood trees that are dozens of meters tall have at least grown for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Moreover, the roots of small-leaf red sandalwood trees, especially old trees, often rot and become hollow. This is the so-called "nine out of ten red sandalwood trees are hollow." In fact, almost all old trees will experience the natural phenomenon of the xylem and heartwood being corroded and eaten due to lack of nutrients.
Another goal of Lin Yu's trip was to find the agarwood from India, especially the black agarwood, which is the first choice among the water-sinking incense. According to the introduction, the black agarwood has a very high oil content, is solid and dense, sinks as soon as it enters the water, has a strong fragrance, a cool and sweet metallic taste, and a slight scent of flour and honey.
As we all know, Zhou Asan was a major Buddhist country with a long history of Buddhist incense burning custom. Therefore, the consumption of spices, especially agarwood, in Asan was extremely huge. After more than 2,000 years of overexploitation and deforestation, there was basically no trace of Asan's sinking agarwood in later generations. Even Asan itself had to import a large amount of spices from other countries every year, which made the reputation of Asan's sinking agarwood almost unknown.
However, Lin Yu had seen some historical materials about Asan sinking agarwood, among which black agarwood was highly praised, and even an exaggerated statement was made that one tael of black agarwood was worth ten taels of gold.
Since he wanted to sweep through India this time, how could Lin Yu let go of the black agarwood that was almost extinct in later generations? Anyway, he had already instructed the guards who set out first that as long as they found the water-sinking agarwood, they should not leave any for those weirdos.
Of course Zhou Tian would not stop his master's bad taste. He also knew that his master had been in a bad mood recently. Lin Pengcheng's accident was indeed very annoying to Lin Yu. Although Lin Yu directly severed the father-son relationship with Lin Pengcheng because he despised his abandonment of his wife and the old grudges accumulated by his original body over the years, Lin Pengcheng suffered an unexpected disaster and died at the hands of the Secret Service agents. Lin Yu felt that "although I did not kill Boren, Boren died because of me". Although he directly ordered the hanging of all the Secret Service agents in Tianjin, Lin Yu was in a very depressed mood.
Zhou Tian was well aware that his master's current mentality was very detrimental to his future cultivation, so he strongly supported his master's idea of going out for a walk to relax.
In Zhou Tian's mind, only the safety of his master comes first. He does not care about anything else. Not to mention that his master just wants to search for some red sandalwood, agarwood and gold in Asan, even if his master wants to wipe out the entire Asan, he will give the order without hesitation.
Which of Zhou Tian's protectors is not an old monster who has existed for countless years? In the long years of cultivation, in order to compete for cultivation resources and snatch natural materials and treasures, which one of them has not stained his hands with blood? Not to mention destroying a country at will, even some small worlds have been completely destroyed due to the fighting and fighting of these high-priced cultivators. Billions of lives have suffered unprovoked disasters and disappeared in the chaos and void.
In the eyes of Zhou Tian's protectors, their master was somewhat too soft-hearted. According to their temperament, they would have uprooted the island behind the Secret Service long ago.
However, Zhou Tian and the others also knew that to the cultivators, the master was now just a toddler. Everything required a gradual process of adaptation. Only after experiencing some things personally could the master's mind truly mature.
What made the guardians happy was the master's unimaginable talent. In such a short period of time, the master's cultivation had been greatly improved. Moreover, after being tempered in the Qiankun Tower day after day and year after year, some significant changes and progress in the master were obvious to all.
