After Dai Xuan led everyone on a tour, he led them out of the cave entrance and closed the stone door outside. They returned to Dai Zhangshan's courtyard.
Everyone was still very excited. They stood in the courtyard and discussed animatedly. Dai Jianguo and a few young people brought out stools from the house for everyone to sit on. They also placed a table in the middle and poured tea. Whoever was thirsty could get some water to drink.
Dai Xuan took out a pack of cigarettes and distributed them to everyone. Then, he said,"I've already collected the ten tons of gold cakes and jade on the upper floor. Donate the rest to the country! Let's see what we can leave behind after we talk to the country. What do you guys think?"
Everyone stopped talking and started thinking. Dai Jianguo took a puff of his cigarette and said,"Uh, look at the floor below. There are still quite a number of gold cakes in the ancestor's coffin. I think we should take out half and keep it. There's no need to donate so much.”
Dai Jianguo was slapped on the back of his head by his father, Dai Qingfeng. Dai Qingfeng was a guerrilla who had fought against the Japanese. He shouted at Dai Jianguo,"Why do you keep so much money? Now that the country was in such a difficult situation, how could there be a home without a country? I think I'll donate it all."
Dai Jianguo touched his head and retorted," That can't be said. The country is in trouble, so are we. In addition, there are three other Dai villages and the Hongshan Brigade of the neighboring Shijiao Commune. There are dozens of families with the surname Dai there. Which one isn't poor? If you donate all of it, wouldn't they scold you to death if they knew? There were also those who had fled and moved away in the past. There were probably tens of thousands of people who had rushed to the east of the country before the liberation. What would happen if they came back in the future and found out?”
Everyone fell silent again. What Dai Jianguo said made sense. Even Dai Qingfeng did not say anything.
After a moment of silence, Dai Xuan said,""In that case, take out half of the gold cakes below and save them for later. Donate the rest. Call the leaders of the other villages over for a meeting and rebuild their villages. What do you think?”
Everyone thought for a while and agreed. They sent a few people to inform the leaders of the other villages to come for a meeting.
That night, the leaders of the other three villages came. The dozens of families surnamed Dai from the neighboring Stone Corner Commune also sent two representatives. No one knew why they were gathered here. They thought they were going to hold some kind of ancestral worship activity, but they thought it was not time yet! Who knew that they were only half right.
In the Dai Family Village Committee, dozens of people were sitting in a conference room made of rough mud bricks. Smoke lingered in the room, and dozens of big smoking pipes were smoking. It was noisy.
Dai Zhangshan presided over the meeting. He had a lot of prestige. Many of the younger generations in the village were married by him. Dai Zhangshan slammed the table." Quiet down, everyone. Let me say a few words. This little brother is called Dai Xuan, and he's also the descendant of our Dai Wanggong. He's the one who donated more than 10 million to the county's road repair school. Now, he's donated another 20 million to our Dai Family Village to rebuild the ancestral hall and village. Your villages also have a share. I called everyone here today to discuss what to do about this matter. There's one more thing. We've discovered the coffin of our ancestor Dai Wanggong. We're planning to move him to the top of Mount Gongbo in the next few days. We called you over to discuss this matter.”
After Dai Zhangshan finished speaking, Dai Xuan stood up and greeted everyone. The others who had never seen Dai Xuan before stood up and shook hands with him. They were very enthusiastic. This time, their ancestors had really shown their spirits. Their ancestral graves were emitting green smoke and had sent people to help everyone.
It wasn't appropriate to enter the cave at night. Everyone knew that Dai Xuan's donation was a big news in An County recently. Coupled with Dai Zhangshan's character guarantee, everyone believed what Dai Zhangshan said and held a meeting to discuss it.
After listening for more than half an hour, Dai Xuan went back to his room to sleep. They had a meeting for the whole night. Some of the older ones also went back to sleep. After breakfast, Dai Xuan led them into the cave again. Naturally, they were shocked again. Everyone worshiped Dai Wanggong and his wife's coffin again. Some people found that the jade stones and gold cakes on the upper layer were gone, and half of the gold cakes on the lower layer were gone. They knew that Dai Xuan had put them away first, but they didn't know that there were so many gold cakes. How did he move the jade carving alone?
During the meeting last night, everyone had decided on the rules and regulations. The leaders of the various villages went back to prepare.
After lunch, Dai Xuan, Dai Qingfeng, Dai Qingtian, and Dai Jianguo drove out of the county. They met up with Secretary Liu first and went to the parking lot to get six jeeps. Three of them went to the community, and the other three went to Dai Village. Secretary Liu was in charge of getting someone to drive them back, and Dai Jianguo went back with the jeeps.
In the evening, Dai Xuan invited the county secretary Wang and county head Li to dinner. At the county guest house, there were also a few county standing committee members. Dai Xuan, Dai Qingfeng, and Dai Qingtian were the only ones from Dai Village.
The members of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee thought that Dai Xuan was going to donate again. They were secretly anticipating it. Who knew that Dai Xuan would tell them a story about King Zhou of Shang and Jiang Ziya. Later on, he talked about Gongbo Mountain in Dai Village. The members of the Standing Committee all thought that Dai Xuan was talking about Arabian Nights. They were moved when Dai Xuan told them about the things stored in the cave. Antiques nowadays were not as valuable as they would be decades later. The members of the Standing Committee had never seen them on the spot. However, when they heard Dai Xuan say that there were nearly ten tons of gold cakes and dozens of tons of silver cakes, they were shocked and pondered in their hearts.
After eating for more than an hour, Dai Xuan took out two boxes of Mao wine and finished them all. After the banquet ended, Dai Xuan invited them to go to Dai Village to watch the ceremony in a few days, and they basically agreed.
The next morning, Secretary Wang of the county party committee convened the Standing Committee. He was a little drunk last night and still hadn't reacted. What was going on?
When all the members of the Standing Committee had arrived, Secretary Wang said,"What did Young Dai say last night? Why do I hear that it has something to do with Jiang Ziya from thousands of years ago? He said that there are more than ten tons of gold in Dai Village. Do you think this is true?”
County Head Li took a sip of tea and said,"I think it's true. I asked Dai Qingtian. He said it's true."?The key was how to deal with these things? Do you want to report it to the city?"
Everyone nodded their heads. According to the rules, the county could get a little, but how much could they get?
In the end, everyone decided to go to Dai Village to watch the ceremony in a few days and make a decision after seeing it.
At ten o'clock, County Head Li accepted the four jeeps donated by Dai Xuan as police vehicles on behalf of the County Public Security Bureau.
A few days later, on the auspicious day of August 22nd, Dai Village was crowded with people. They held a grand ceremony to move the coffin. The process was solemn and complicated. Dai Village opened a road from the foot of Gomber Mountain to the top of the mountain. The road passed by the cave entrance, and the road from the mountainside to the top of the mountain was full of people kneeling on both sides. Firecrackers were constantly ringing at the foot of the mountain. Hundreds of people entered the cave to carry the coffin. There were old men in their sixties and seventies, and there were also children in their seventies and eighties. Everyone had white cloth wrapped around their waists. He looked solemn.
Everyone carried the two coffins out and slowly walked to the top of the mountain. Along the way, they cried and the sound of firecrackers was endless. After a ceremony, the two coffins were buried in a tomb. Then, there was the Three Animal Sacrifice, and the descendants paid tribute to their ancestors. The entire process took more than two hours.
A few members of the Standing Committee of the county came. They had yet to enter the cave to take a look. All of them were a little regretful. They didn't know if this was considered a burial in Dai Village. They were afraid that it would affect them if they investigated.
Today, Dai Village had killed six cows, dozens of pigs and sheep, and countless chickens, ducks, and geese. The pigs, cows, sheep, and chickens were sacrificed to the ancestral hall and the grave of the ancestor, Dai Wanggong and his wife.
There were five to six hundred tables of banquets in the village. Each table had two bottles of Mao wine, three bottles of Wuliang liquor, a box of Monkey Brew per table, and the most expensive Chinese cigarettes. The standing committee members from the county were secretly speechless. Just the alcohol and tobacco on the table were enough to scare them. They also found the Monkey Wine, which was even more expensive than Mao Wine. It was difficult to buy this wine even if you had money. They didn't know where Dai Village got it.
The banquet was a flowing banquet. They ate from noon to night. People with other surnames nearby also came to join in the fun. Anyway, everyone who came had something to eat. Today, the people from the other villages nearby didn't get work points and came to eat. Everyone envied Dai Village and wanted to go to Dai Village to matchmake.
After lunch, Dai Xuan and Dai Changshan led a few members of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee to visit two spaces in the cave. The members of the Standing Committee were so shocked that they couldn't even walk. They heard from Dai Xuan last night that they didn't feel anything. Today, they saw it with their own eyes. They were all knowledgeable people. Not to mention the gold and silver pancakes, just the Nine Regions Cauldron refined by King Yu was enough to scare people to death. It was a legendary divine item, a national treasure among national treasures, a divine item that could cause war.
After the tour, they returned to the county and immediately held a meeting. After the meeting, they reported to the city. In the evening, the city and the province sent people to the county and held a meeting for a few hours.
The next morning, a troop of about a few hundred people arrived. They were stationed in Dai Village, with 100 people guarding the entrance of the cave. At around ten o'clock, another bus arrived. Dozens of people dressed in all kinds of clothes got off. Most of them were in their forties or fifties. Some of them wore glasses and looked like learned people.
Dai Xuan ignored these people. Dai Qingshui and Dai Qingtian went to greet them while he and Dai Changshan drank tea in the courtyard.
Antiques and treasures were cleared out one by one and then transported away one after another. Even the bronze oil lamp on the stone wall was not spared. The gold and silver cakes were all taken away. In the end, more than ten bronze incense burner, pottery, stone tools, and other items were left behind. After more than a week, they gave the village a reward of 10,000 yuan and a silk banner.
Things had come to an end. Dai Xuan was ready to leave. Before he left, he released another 200 cows from his space and drove them to Dai Village. Dai Xuan held a meeting with the leaders of several villages.
The meeting was held at the Dai Village Committee. Dai Xuan began to speak after he smoked a cigarette."Everyone, I'm going to leave tomorrow. There are still more than 20 tons of gold cakes and jades left. I'll keep them for now. The 20 million I'll give you will be used to rebuild the ancestral hall and a few villages. I don't think it will cost a few million. What I mean is that the rest of the money can be used to open a factory and do business. In the name of the collective, we'll count the shares of all the Dai clansmen. As for the specifics, you can discuss it among yourselves. The minority obeys the majority. We can't just sit around and eat without doing anything. We have to use money to make money. Dai Village is going to rebuild a museum. I will come back and put the jade artifacts inside. The museum needs to be bigger, three to four thousand square meters. It will be a two-story antique building. I need to find someone to design it. I have placed the gold cake in a secret place. It is not suitable to take it out now, but I have already arranged it. Don't worry. When Dai Village needs it, it will appear. Don't worry, it's useless to worry. "I've already told Changshan how to open the stone door of the cave. He'll be in charge of it in the future. I've put 2000 tons of monkey wine in the cave. You've drunk this wine before. Now, this wine is sold for 60 yuan per bottle outside. One ton is worth 100,000 yuan. 2000 tons is worth 200 million yuan. Dai Jianguo will take the lead in building a winery to specially bottle this wine. You know the packaging. I'll get someone to contact him." When the time comes, we will sell the wine to him directly. The money we earn from the sale will be shared by our Dai clansmen at the end of the year.”
Dai Xuan left after settling the matters of the Dai Village. Before he left, he left dozens of bottles of pills for Dai Zhangshan to keep, telling him the uses and usage of the pills.
The villagers were reluctant to see Dai Xuan leave. He was forced to stay for another day. That night, he drank a lot of wine. He didn't know if he was drunk or not. The next morning, he left quietly, leaving behind the Dai villagers who were full of hope for life.
