    After that, the old man stopped going to Xi'an in order to repay his life-saving grace, so he bought a compound in Mizhi County and lived with the whole family.  Over the years, Mr. Gu has been helping the Yan'an government with all his strength, donating both money and goods, from military pay, weapons and ammunition, medicines, to food, cloth, but he donates whatever the Eighth Route Army wants.  He even used his connections to help the Eighth Route Army obtain intelligence from the Japanese-occupied areas.  Like Mr. Du, they are all patriots with a pure heart.

    Hearing that he wanted to see him, the chairman immediately suspended the meeting, and led the Prime Minister and Li Hui out to welcome him.

    Go out and look, good guy, besides Mr. Gu, there are dozens of people standing at the door. Half of these people are rich Shanxi merchants who moved to Mizhi with Mr. Gu, and the other half are Mizhi, Suide, Zizhou, etc.  The richest businessmen and landlords in the county, the worst ones are local tyrants with hundreds of acres of land.

    As soon as the chairman and others came out to greet them, everyone hurried forward to say hello. The chairman greeted everyone, then grabbed Mr. Gu's hand and asked, "Mr. Gu, you are so far away. Why are you here? Are you here?"  I'm almost seventy years old, and the journey is exhausting, so I can't afford to lose any of my bones.  '

    Mr. Gu, with white hair and white beard and a vigorous appearance, laughed: "This old man is talking about being a teenager. This little hard work can't get rid of my old bones!"

    "You are an old man with a long-term ambition!" The chairman also smiled, then turned sideways, and made a gesture of invitation: "Let's go into the room and talk."

    "I won't go in for now!" Mr. Gu gently shook the chairman's hand and said, "I have come so far to ask you to answer a few questions for me personally!"  "

    Although he didn't know what the old man wanted to ask for making such a big move, the chairman still replied seriously: "Okay, Mr. Gu, you can ask, I know everything about you!"

    The old man put away his smile and asked very formally: "Chairman, I want to ask you for confirmation. A few days ago, our Eighth Route Army fought several big victories in Shandong on the radio and wiped out more than ten thousand Japanese and puppet troops.  Really?"

    The chairman said affirmatively: "It's true. Since you keep asking, I won't hide it from you. The actual results we achieved were even better than what was reported, especially the just-concluded Battle of Zhaoyuan. We not only wiped out  Seven or eight thousand Japanese and puppet troops were destroyed, more than a dozen Japanese tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed, and two Japanese warships were sunk, one of which was a Japanese heavy cruiser!'

    "Oh!" Among those landlords and wealthy businessmen, there are many people who have gone abroad to study abroad. Hearing this, he immediately exclaimed. Although he is not a soldier, he still knows about heavy cruisers. These displacements can reach several thousand tons at every turn.  Even a big guy with over 10,000 tons can be regarded as the absolute main force in the navies of various countries, and it is also the main force in naval battles. It is definitely not an easy task to sink such a giant sea monster.

    Of course, they would never doubt the chairman's words. They were surprised that the Eighth Route Army, which was still poor half a year ago, had such terrifying strength.

    Mr. Gu didn't show any surprise either. He nodded slightly, and asked again: "Is it true that the funds you got from selling that product were invested in construction and war?" Obviously, Mr. Gu also listened to the Chongqing Radio Station.  The rumors that were broadcast believed that these big bosses in the central government, like high-ranking government officials, were doing some activities to enrich their own pockets.

    "Can this still be false?" The Prime Minister replied with an excuse: "Master, you have also seen it. Now the whole of northern Shaanxi has become a large construction site. Mines, various industrial factories, paving roads, and power stations are being built everywhere.  You are also an industrialist. You should know that the development of industry is the most expensive item. The food and drink of the millions of soldiers and civilians in the border areas also need a lot of money. In addition, in order to re-equip the troops, we buy weapons,  The funds spent on equipment are also very large. Adding up these types of expenditures, the funds obtained from selling goods alone are not enough.

    There is no need for a heavy hammer to play the drum, and Mr. Gu, who has been in business all his life, knows that what the Prime Minister said is true after a little calculation.  So he immediately asked the third question: "Is it because you have run out of money that you recently put up notices to exchange for ancient relics in the hands of the common people?"

    This time the bosses did not answer, but nodded with a wry smile.

    "My question is over! Mr. Gu nodded, then turned his head and shouted loudly: 'Pull all the things we brought here!'

    As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of wheels turning in the distance. After a while, a large row of carriages appeared at the gate of the courtyard. These carriages were all equipped with a layer of large solid wooden boxes. Judging from the rut marks, they were not light.  Looking up, my good fellow, there are more than 20 carriages in this convoy.The road is lined up in a row, which is spectacular.

    "Open!" Mr. Gu said, pointing to the box on the first carriage.

    The two handlebars immediately stepped forward and quickly untied the rope, and then, one on each side, they lifted the big solid wooden box out of the car together, and moved it in front of Mr. Gu and the chairman. It can be seen that the weight of the box is really heavy.  Light, just these few steps, the two young and strong handlebars are tired and wheezing.

    With a wave of his hand, Mr. Gu moved the two of them to the side, then leaned over to move the buckle on the box, and then lifted the lid of the box vigorously, revealing a dazzling golden color.

    "Hiss" The chairman and the prime minister gasped, and Li Hui, who had no concentration, even let out a low cry: "Oh my God!"

    Gold bars!  The huge solid wooden box was filled with gold bars, and at a glance, it must have weighed one hundred and two catties. No wonder the two strong men were crushed like shrimps.  !

    "Mr. Gu, who is this?" The chairman grabbed Mr. Gu's hand and shouted.

    Mr. Gu pointed to those carriages and said: "We sixty wealthy businessmen put together this together. The boxes in the front carts were filled with gold, totaling 1,200 jin. The carts in the back contained more than half of gold.  Silver ingots, a total of 700,000 taels. The rest of the boxes contain some valuable artifacts such as antiques, jade, gems, gold and silver ornaments. We will donate all these things to the border region government and let you take them  things to build industries, develop the economy, change the clothes of the troops, and then beat the devils hard!?"

    "Damn it!" Li Hui exclaimed again from the bottom of his heart, more than half a ton of gold, three and a half tons of silver, and countless antique jades, the combined value of which is not enough to describe with astronomical figures  , It is simply a massive wealth.

    A local landowner in Mizhi stepped forward and said: "Chairman, Prime Minister, in fact, most of these things were collected by Shanxi businessmen, and Mr. Gu even took out all his net worth. Our thirty-odd local  The rich merchants and landlords combined only managed to scrape together more than 200 catties of gold and 78,000 taels of silver."

    Li Hui once again screamed in his heart, he now knows why Shanxi merchants are called the richest merchant group in modern China by later generations. This is rich, and this is obviously a country that is incomparably rich.  Just these twenty or more quasi-first-class wealthy businessmen in Shanxi have managed to scrape together such a large sum of money.  If the wealth of the entire Shanxi businessman gathers together

    The chairman and the prime minister obviously didn't think too much about it. When they heard that Mr. Gu was going to donate all his wealth, they immediately said excitedly: "Mr. Gu, this is the hard work of several generations of your ancestors! We absolutely cannot accept"

    Mr. Gu interrupted with a wave of his hand: "What hard work, isn't it just money? If the country is gone, I will keep the money, but I am just a rich subjugated slave who destroys the family and relieves difficulties. As long as the country does not forget, I will  It doesn't matter if you disperse your wealth.  You wonĄŻt persuade me anymore, since I brought all the things here, I donĄŻt plan to bring them back, if you donĄŻt want them, IĄŻll take all these things to the YanĄŻan River!Ą±

    "You mustn't do it!" The Prime Minister hurriedly stopped him, and then said with some difficulty: "It's just that the value of these things is really too high, we really"

    Before he finished speaking, Li Hui came over and said, "Mr. Gu and everyone are so profoundly righteous, I really admire you very much. As the saying goes, they are disrespectful. Then I will represent the hundreds of thousands of the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army and the Thousand Thousands.  Thousands of people thank you patriots for their generosity. I assure you, we will fight the devils to the end until we drive them out of China." After finishing speaking, he paid a solemn respect to the old man and all the rich businessmen and landlords.  military salute.

    The chairman also interjected: "Li Hui is right. Since Mr. Gu and all the patriotic gentry want to contribute to the country, if we refuse, it will only chill everyone's hearts. Then, I will represent the border area for this money."  The government accepted it, and here, I would like to thank you again for your contributions to the country and the great cause of the War of Resistance.Ą±

    Mr. Gu nodded and smiled: "It should be like this!" Then he turned his head and said: "Okay, we have delivered this thing, and we should go back."  "After speaking, he walked away. No matter how the chairman and the prime minister tried to persuade him to stay, the old man still kept on walking. Even Li Hui's invitation to let everyone stay for a meal and taste the delicious food of future generations was rejected by ten thousand words.

    Those wealthy businessmen and landlords also left with the old man.  Like the old man, they all had child-like happy smiles on their faces.  Losing money and gaining self-satisfaction is really a great realm.

    Looking at the twenty or so carriages with large boxes at the door, and looking at the backs of those going further and further away, Li Hui felt infinite emotion in his heart.

    Most of the people who went away were elderly people, and their steps were naturally not very flexible, but they faltered with their steps, but their waists were straight.

    These seemingly thin backbones are the real pillars of China!
