Chapter 312 Darkness Chen Cang
"This time, the Treasure Hunting Master is invited. There are two purposes. One is to see if you can find another entrance to enter the secret room, so as not to trigger a counterattack from believers. Second, you also know that the last two secret rooms are missing, so..."

Wu Tianyuan finally understood the purpose of his visit, which was to find all the secret rooms and let the government monopolize the treasure.

This question is very simple, just ask any treasure, Wu Tianyuan asked Pai Toka to bring some gold coins and jewelry, let him study it.

"It is said that a sage prayed to God, hoping to see the Buddha. Then the god turned into a naughty boy and swallowed the holy things used for worship. The sage chased the boy angrily, and the boy hid in a tree. Under the big tree. The big tree fell and transformed into a giant form of Lord Vishnu."

The gold coin tells the story: "The sage recognized God Vishnu and begged him to be smaller, to be three times the size of a normal person. After the god Vishnu shrunk, he told the sage that he must go through three gates to worship him in the future: the first The door is dedicated to Lord Shiva, the second door leads to the lotus flower on the navel of Lord Vishnu, and behind the third door is the foot of Lord Vishnu, which can lead believers to God's salvation, Padmanaba The Swami temple was built according to this oracle."

"The temple was originally the family temple of the Valma royal family, so it is adjacent to the old palace of Varma. In front of the temple, there used to be a narrow alley in disrepair, which often gathered poor people who came from afar for pilgrimage. The Kingdom of Travanco is very rich. It is said that European cooking skills and meals were dull until Europeans discovered Indian spices, and their food taste was improved. Therefore, the spice trade to Europe became the most profitable business in India at that time.”

"A large number of diamonds, rubies and emeralds were purchased by the king for his preference, and there were also gifts from merchants from Kerala who paid tribute to the king. The Kingdom of Travanco never seemed to be short of gold. King Varma liked to buy Bathing in a pure gold bathtub, when he is happy, he will smash the bathtub and distribute the broken gold pieces to the Brahmans."

"During the Kingdom of Travanco, there was a special ceremony in the coronation ceremony of the new king: the gold in the temple was taken out and piled up together, and the new king had to bury himself in the pile of gold, implying that he would become become the lord of gold and wealth. Only then will the new king be considered gifted to be king."

"In addition, Varma himself is a devout Hindu, and his descendants are also obsessed with religious teachings and have formed a thrifty living habit, which allows a lot of wealth to be preserved in the temple and passed on to future generations, unlike Some royal families in northern India have squandered their wealth."

Wu Tianyuan finally understood all the inside story, and also knew the location and opening method of the last secret room.But of course he can't let the Indian government eat alone. With such a large treasure, can he not get some of it?
"What do you want to increase the red sandalwood import quota? 500 tons?"

Wu Tianyuan looked at Paitoka's ugly face, smiled lightly and said, "Is this too much to ask? The value of the treasure this time is far beyond everyone's imagination. After my research, although the last two secret rooms still need some time. But there is still a secret passage in Room C, which can be entered without anyone noticing."

"Not to mention the treasures worth 1000 billion US dollars, even if it is only 300 billion US dollars, it is a great wealth! Besides, your red sandalwood exports thousands of tons every year. It's not that I don't give you money. What's the problem with 500 tons?"

When Pai Tuoka heard that Wu Tianyuan had found another entrance so quickly, he apologized and said with a smile: "As expected of a master of treasure hunting, he really has miraculous abilities. This is no problem. As long as you can find the treasure in the secret room, the government can agree to your request!"

This secret room has been exposed, and Wu Tianyuan has no way to hide it. At most, some red sandalwood is not worth it. Go back and process it into antique furniture, which is also a new product of Tianyuantang.

As the flag of the domestic mahogany industry, small-leaved red sandalwood is an endangered species. At present, domestic red sandalwood basically enters the country through smuggling channels.Recently, the Western Frontier Defense and Customs in Huangpu, Tianjin, Qingdao and other places have repeatedly cracked major smuggling cases of small-leaf red sandalwood, which has tensed the nerves of the mahogany industry.

According to a report from Andhra Pradesh, India, on the morning of April 4, nearly a hundred red sandalwood smugglers in the Chitul area of ​​Andhra Pradesh, India, were seized by the local forestry police during the illegal logging of red sandalwood, and an incident occurred. The exchange of fire caused at least 7 law enforcement officers to be injured. Later, under the support of the task force, the police killed at least 8 smugglers!
In the past few years, domestic cultural games have become popular, and small-leaf red sandalwood is the most popular variety. Thousands of tons of red sandalwood raw materials are imported from India every year, allowing the Indian government to see the value of this wood species. People took risks and participated in the ranks of smuggling.

Small-leaf red sandalwood is owned by the state in India, and private individuals are not allowed to cut, process, or trade without permission. If processing and trading is required, approval from the Indian government is required. The approval procedures are very complicated, so small-leaf red sandalwood is not easy to see in India.

Good red sandalwood costs about 1000 to 1600 rupees per kilogram in India, which is equivalent to more than 100 yuan per kilogram, and the average price in China is five to six hundred per kilogram. Such a large profit margin has led many Chinese to smuggle in India. It is a transit in Hong Kong and then to China.In the past two years, a lot of international express delivery was carried out, and the product name was falsely reported, and the packaging was also tricky.

Because too many people know this way, people who know or don’t understand have done it in the past, and then this way has attracted the attention of the Indian government, so the government has approved that all wooden products must be carefully inspected before they can be exported. If it is red sandalwood, the crime is more serious Therefore, many international courier companies or logistics companies are afraid to accept the goods. It is becoming more and more difficult to smuggle red sandalwood in India. Many people now hire people to carry them, and the luggage for each person is 20 kg.

The last time Wu Tianyuan bought Chen Lihua's red sandalwood furniture, she imported them early at that time, and there was no limit to collect them all into a museum.Now India also knows that the Chinese like red sandalwood, so it began to restrict exports and raise the price of rosewood.I heard that [-]% of domestic red sandalwood is smuggled into the country.

There is a camphor port at the junction of China and Nepal. In the past, the "pioneer smuggling force" transported red sandalwood from India to Nepal, and then the border people in the mountains of Nepal carried it to the top of the border mountain.

The border residents can get 400 Ni coins, or 40 RMB, for each red sandalwood that they carry up the mountain.After reaching the top of the mountain, due to the higher mountains in Nepal, the red sandalwood was able to slide down to China through the erected steel cable, and then transferred to XZRKZ, and then entered the inland market by other land transportation.

There is also a way to enter China through Myanmar. Since China and Myanmar are bordered by land and the border is long, the amount of red sandalwood smuggled along this route is relatively large.Transit from Dubai, Dubai is a free trade port, the Indians smuggle red sandalwood out to Dubai, and the Chinese pick up the goods back to China from there.

"It's right here, the explosion is the secret passage, you can enter directly!"

After Wu Tianyuan signed the red sandalwood import agreement and had a long-term import quota of red sandalwood raw materials at a very low price, he took Paitoka to find the west entrance of the secret passage. He had no way to do anything with this secret room.
