Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

On the mountain, the excavation site of the ancient tomb is bustling with activity.

Professors from the Provincial Museum and the Archaeology Department of Jingcheng University, along with their students and professionals, are carefully carrying out excavations.

Armed with small shovels and brushes, they gradually cleared the soil, fearing damage to the artifacts in the tomb. Around them, three companies of engineers stood guard, their mission to protect the excavation site and prevent any tomb robbery.

Chen Feng stood aside and watched the scene quietly.

He didn't expect that Director Sun could make such a big fuss.

He was secretly impressed by the professionalism of these experts. In just a few days, they accurately found the tomb based on the map and mountain range trends he provided.

As the excavation deepened, cultural relics gradually emerged.

The old experts gathered together, marveling at the exquisiteness of the cultural relics and excitedly discussing their age and value.

Chen Feng listened to their discussion and felt a surge of pride. He had seen the excavation of this tomb in a television documentary in his previous life, and now that he was personally involved, the sense of accomplishment was indescribable.

He walked closer and saw a professor carefully holding up a bronze artifact, with joy on his face that was beyond words.

Chen Feng couldn't help but ask, "Professor, what is this?"

The professor looked up at him and smiled, "Young man, this is a wonderful thing! It's an ancient wine vessel called a jue. Look at the shape and craftsmanship. It's truly remarkable!"

Watching the old experts marveling at and excitedly discussing the unearthed cultural relics, he felt a sense of pride in his heart.

"Xiao Chen, come here!"

Upon hearing the voice, Chen Feng immediately trotted over and asked, "Director Sun, what are your instructions?"

Director Sun's face was full of praise. "Xiao Chen, you've made an invaluable contribution this time! Mr. Zhou from the Provincial Museum and Professor Hu from Jingcheng University both praised you, saying that this tomb is truly remarkable and that it was nearly robbed by tomb robbers. A hole had already been dug in, but fortunately the main chamber is still intact. It's truly a blessing."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "That's good. I'm also very happy to be able to contribute to the country."

Director Sun patted him on the shoulder and said, "The country is aware of your contributions and will certainly not treat you unfairly."

After saying that, he pulled Chen Feng to a big tree and took out a checkbook from his arms.

"Most of these cultural relics are priceless, but the value of some can be estimated. Now that the excavation is almost over, the experts will be busy for a while, but we have already assessed the value of the entire tomb," said Director Sun.

"According to the agreement we made, apart from what must be handed over to the state, the remaining coins, gold and silver wares, tinware, jadeware, etc., are quite a lot and all have market value." Director Sun handed the check to Chen Feng as he spoke. "Take a look for yourself."

Chen Feng took a closer look and was shocked by the number on the check - 30!

"Director Sun, this... this is too much!" Chen Feng couldn't believe his eyes.

To be honest, seeing that Director Sun had arranged such a large-scale formal excavation, Chen Feng actually didn't care whether he could get the money or not.

Thinking about being able to rescue national cultural relics is a good deed.

As a time traveler, he still has many opportunities to make money.

But unexpectedly, Director Sun actually fulfilled his promise and gave him such a large sum of money.

You know, 30 is a huge sum of money these days!

Director Sun waved his hand. "It's not much. In fact, I feel like I'm taking advantage of you. The value of this tomb is far more than this amount. But the country's current conditions are limited, so I can only give you this much. Don't be disgusted."

"How could that be, Director Sun? You're so polite." Chen Feng said quickly, "We agreed to split it in half. I'll go get the money and send it to you."

Director Sun smiled and shook his head, "No, keep the money for yourself."

Chen Feng understood what was going on and stopped talking about the money. Instead, he said, "Well, with this money, I can expand my Chinese medicine cultivation. Director Sun, you have to take all my medicine from now on."

Director Sun laughed heartily. "I was worried you wouldn't sell to me! Don't worry, go ahead and plant it. I'll finalize the agreement with you later."

For Chen Feng, Chinese medicinal herb cultivation is not just a spur-of-the-moment idea.

He thought to himself that these mountains and waters were gifts from nature. Now that he had such a treasure trove, wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't develop Chinese medicinal herbs?

There is a huge demand for Chinese medicinal materials in the market. As long as the quality is not too bad, there is no need to worry about sales.

Furthermore, the conditions in the mountains are suitable for growing any kind of Chinese medicine. Coupled with Director Sun's stable sales channel, it seems that God has paved the way for him. He has no shortage of timing, geography, and people's support.

Holding the check for 300,000 yuan tightly in his hand, Chen Feng did not delay and went down the mountain directly to the Agricultural Bank of China in the town.

Once inside the bank, he handed the check to the teller.

When the staff at the counter saw it, their eyes widened. Such a large check was not seen every day - in fact, they had never seen such a large check before, not even in the provincial bank!

For a moment, they didn't dare to take over easily, for fear that something might go wrong.

Seeing this, Chen Feng was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

After a long while, the bank president hurried over and asked about the situation in a serious tone.

Then, the bank president personally called the bank where the check was issued to verify it. This back and forth process lasted until the afternoon.

After much effort, the business was finally completed.

Chen Feng looked at the newly added numbers on the passbook and felt relieved.

He didn't deposit it all, but left 10,000 yuan in cash, which he put in a sack and carried with him. It felt heavy and gave him a sense of security.

After finishing his business, Chen Feng didn't stay long and returned directly to the village from the town.

Along the way, he was thinking about how to spend the money and how to arrange the Chinese medicine cultivation.

By the time he arrived at the village, he had already thought of the follow-up plan.

The next morning, he went door to door to call people, and soon, the villagers gathered outside his yard one after another.

There were more people coming than Chen Feng had expected, and the entire yard was packed with people standing outside.

Everyone knew that when they helped Chen Feng repair his house last time, their family also benefited from it, so when they were called upon this time, almost everyone who could come came.

Chen Feng stood on the threshold, looked around, and said, "Fellow villagers, I called you all here not to repair the house, but to make money with you all!"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd suddenly buzzed.

Ning Yao hid behind the door of the inner room, secretly watching Chen Feng's back through the crack of the door, listening to what Chen Feng was going to say to the villagers this time?

Chen Feng continued, "The policy is different now. The country encourages us to get rich, so it's definitely the right thing to do to follow the country's policies. I have a great way to get rich. If you're willing to work with me, I welcome you. If you're not willing, I won't force you. It's up to you."
