Chapter 230: Eye-popping wood At the very front of all the carriages, two carriages were parked, separated by more than ten meters from each other, and the carriages were dismantled to carry the head and tail of a large tree, respectively.
This big tree was obviously very heavy, in addition to two four-wheeled carriages at both ends, there were also several carts in the middle to carry it, and there were seven or eight healthy horses on both sides to drag it, so it can be seen that if it were not very heavy, it would not have needed such a large battle.
This tree is naturally our protagonist today - that twenty-meter rosewood.
This rosewood may not be the tallest of all the rosewood, but it is definitely the largest proportion of all trees, you must know that in order to transport it on the ship, Li Zhen can be said to have put a lot of effort into it, and it was both pulley and leverage, and it took a lot of effort to finally load this tree on the ship.
In fact, these big trees are transported in this way, although other trees do not have such a large proportion of red sandalwood, but you must know that this twenty-meter red sandalwood, among all the trees of Li Zhen, can only be regarded as medium stature - for example, the two teak, each of which is more than fifty meters high, although the density is not as good as red sandalwood (the density of teak is between 0.57-0.69g/cm3, far less than red sandalwood), but if it is really about the total weight, it is not necessarily much less than red sandalwood.
Another example is the ebony, the height is also as high as 45 meters, the density is as high as 1.2g/cm3, the weight is much heavier than the red sandalwood, in fact, this is also the heaviest piece of wood harvested by Li Zhen, at that time, in order to transport it to the big ship, the boat alone sank two, the wooden pendant is broken, two people were seriously injured, at that time just to install this ebony, it took half a day.
Of course, if you really want to talk about the value, or that agarwood tree is the most valuable, the agarwood tree is not agarwood, the agarwood tree can indeed form agarwood in a specific environment, but it cannot be said that the wood of the agarwood tree is agarwood.
To be precise, agarwood is when the surface or interior of the agarwood tree is damaged, such as lightning strikes, insect moths or other causes of wounds, in order to protect the injured area, resin will accumulate around the wound.
When the accumulated resin concentration reaches a certain level, this part is removed, and it is a usable agarwood.
However, wounds are not the only cause of resin agglomeration, as agarwood resin is also naturally formed on the inside of the tree and on decaying parts.
The agarwood tree in front of Li Zhen is not high, only about 30 meters (the tallest agarwood tree can reach 50 meters), but after Li Zhen's identification, it was found that the age of this tree is more than 800 years, and there is a lightning scar more than seven meters long in the middle of the tree.
Because most of the trees were too tall, a considerable number of them were loaded like rosewood, otherwise a carriage would not have been able to transport them.
Of course, today's protagonist is this red sandalwood, compared to agarwood, the price of red sandalwood is much worse, but it can still shock the world.
At this time, the side of the red sandalwood tree was already surrounded by people, and everyone looked at this huge red sandalwood tree and did not hesitate to offer their praise.
"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the emperor of Muzhong, good red sandalwood, really good red sandalwood."
"Yes, there are a lot of red sandalwood used by old people, but I have never seen a real red sandalwood tree, especially such a big one."
"Unheard of, unseen."
"Did you get this from an island in the South Sea?"
“……” "I've seen Your Highness, may I ask Your Highness, if this rosewood is placed on the market, how much will it cost?"
Just when everyone was surrounding Zi Zhan in admiration, Wei Zheng suddenly saw Li Zhen come out, and hurriedly asked aloud.
Among the people present, it can be said that there is no one who can do business better than Li Zhen, and Wei Zheng can be regarded as asking the right person, but the price of his own red sandalwood, Li Zhen is really hard to say. "......"
Baiguan and the other people watching the excitement all stopped, and looked at Li Zhen tightly to see what price could be drawn from his mouth.
"It's hard to say."
Li Zhen thought for a while, shook her head and said: "The price of red sandalwood in the market is precious, and this one in the palace is so huge that it can't be measured by the market price at all, if it is put on the auction, even if it is auctioned for two or three times the price, it is very normal." ” "What?
Can you sell it for three times the price?
Baiguan was shocked, how expensive the price of red sandalwood is in the market, as a frequent customer, but it is clear that the price of such a huge red sandalwood is no longer measurable, and now Li Zhen actually has to triple it......
But if you think about it carefully, if you have so much money, you can buy such a large piece of red sandalwood by tripling it......
They were shocked to find that they could really do it.
After all, if you use red sandalwood to create furniture, as long as it is properly maintained, it will not be a problem to use it for a thousand years, and if it is made into a coffin, it can maintain a thousand years of immortality, three times the price, which is not a matter at all.
"I see, it's the old minister who is in a hurry."
Wei Zheng hurriedly apologized, and then asked: "Then the minister asks His Highness another question, how many such red sandalwood are in Borneo?"
” “……” "I'm sorry, but this Hongu still can't answer you."
Li Zhen shook his head again and said: "The main palace just circled around Borneo and drew a simple map, because time was tight, except for staying on two beaches for a few days, we didn't land elsewhere at all, let alone go deep into Borneo to investigate."
However, what this palace can tell you is that this red sandalwood tree was only accidentally discovered by this palace when he was playing in the jungle, and there were a lot of red sandalwood next to it at that time, but it was not as big as this one, so this palace did not take it......
"Wow!"
If the ministers were just shocked just now, now their eyes are all green, and there are still them, but think about it, how can there be only one red sandalwood tree in a forest, and the area of Borneo is one-third of the Nanyang Peninsula......
In other words, there must be more rosewood trees in Borneo, and there may be taller and bigger ones than this one.
This time their eyes were really green, when they thought of such a large territory, so many treasures on it, it was actually discovered by His Royal Highness the Prince, and they had no share of their own, as soon as they thought of this, they felt that their hearts, livers, lungs, kidneys, and spleens were ......
It's a panic that hurts, and it hurts to panic.
