Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Mulan County, Lidong Town,

At the foot of Toulong Mountain,

Under the clear sky, the earth seems to be splashed with colorful paints by the magical painter of nature. Red maple leaves, yellow ginkgo, and brown oak interweave into a gorgeous painting.

Genius just dawned,

Mayor Zhou Jiafu quickly got up.

He urged his wife to cook for him.

After washing,

Zhou Jiafu rushed to the police station.

This is a branch of the county police department. There are six police stations in the county.

Today is a big day. At 8:08 am, the groundbreaking ceremony for Mulan County’s first batch of infrastructure projects in 1946 will be held here!

The construction site is more than thirty miles away from the town!

After all, the police station has the only truck in town!

Zhou Jiafu entered the police station compound and shouted hurriedly,

"Old Wei, let's go, let's go!"

"We're here, we're all ready! We've been waiting for you!" Police station chief Wei Xin ran out!

Wei Xin drove the car himself, Zhou Jiafu sat in the passenger seat, and they brought six police officers from the branch to the construction site!

This is the site of Mulan County Building Materials Factory. It is not far from the bridge and it is very convenient to mine the raw material limestone. This building materials factory not only has a cement branch, but also has a planned lime production line and a gravel crushing processing plant!

If it can be completed and put into production, it will play an important role in the large-scale infrastructure of Mulan County next year!

To the east of Lidong Town, the second power plant of Mulan County is also planned! Yin Xinjun plans to place the 731 thermal power generator here, which can provide power for the building materials factory and the living electricity of the surrounding areas!

As soon as I got off the car, I saw the roadside.

In a sorghum field in the east,

A large group of people were still busy bending over, waving farm tools, harvesting the mature sorghum one by one. The faces of these farmers were filled with joy of the harvest, but also revealed a trace of fatigue.

Zhou Jiafu jumped up in anger.

"Where is your village chief Zheng?"

Accompanied by bursts of shouting, soon a tall and strong man came running with a sorghum knife, his square face was tanned black by the autumn sun!

"Old Zheng, I told you a while ago that we should harvest the crops on this land as soon as possible and requisition it for industrial use!"

"I'm sorry, Mayor. Hehehe, the crops were only ripe yesterday. We must finish harvesting them this morning!"

Zhou Jiafu was so angry that he pointed his finger at

"Why can't we harvest them if they're not fully ripe? Look for yourself. Among all the villages, only yours is disobedient. When the commander and the county chief get here, if they get angry, you'll have to explain to me!"

"Hey, I'll go!" Village Chief Wang nodded and bowed, then turned around and got back to work!

On site,

Colorful flags are flying,

More than 20 construction machines including bulldozers, road rollers, diesel generators, concrete mixers, and electric welders are neatly arranged.

Hundreds of workers were sitting on the ground waiting!

After a while, two cars, an armored vehicle, and three trucks drove slowly over.

After the convoy came to a stop,

More than thirty policemen and a dozen soldiers jumped out of the car and began to set up guard posts!

Today, almost all the military and political leaders of Mulan County are present, including Yin Xinjun, Ding Shan, Sai Mulan, Tong Yu, Wang Shuigen and Jiang Yong!

In the center of the construction site, there is an offering table filled with various offerings, including pig heads, fruits, cakes, wine, etc. In front of the offering table, the workers are neatly lined up, their expressions solemn and pious.

A solemn and mysterious ceremony of worshipping the mountain god is about to be held. This is an important tradition before the start of a project, which aims to pray to the mountain god to bless the smooth progress of the project and ensure the safety of the construction workers.

With the sound of firecrackers, the ceremony officially began.

County leaders at all levels stood in front of the altar.

Liu Dazhi, Wu Hui, Jiang Mankang and the workers stood at the back, lighting incense and candles and offering sacrifices to the mountain god. They put their hands together and chanted something, praying to the mountain god to bless the project to be safe and smooth.

The smoke from the incense and candles rises up, as if merging with the mountain mist!

After the worship ceremony,

Several leaders were given a shovel each and started digging in front of the altar.

The time is up, and Sai Mulan shouted,

"start!"

Everyone waved their shovels and dug a handful of soil!

Fireworks are blooming,

The groundbreaking ceremony is officially over!

Village chief Zheng Xiaoxi looked at the fireworks with emotion. He is the village chief of the nearby Zhengjiayoufang Village. This land acquisition involves 47 households in their village and acres of land!

The county offered two compensation plans. One was land exchange. The new farmland was a little far from the village, more than five miles away! But they gave two for one!

The second plan is to compensate with 50 yuan shopping vouchers per mu and provide one job for each household!

As a result, all the land-expropriated households in the village chose the second option!

At first the villagers were a little worried.

Even the village chief Zheng Xiaoxi himself couldn't explain it clearly. He just followed the mayor's instructions and said how good this building materials factory was. He couldn't even say what was good about it!

But yesterday the construction team came and recruited 67 workers at once, almost all the strong men in the village!

The autumn harvest is over, and I have nothing to do, so I can do some labor to earn some money! 60 yuan a month, that's 300 kilograms of rice, enough for a family of five!

Now, everyone's enthusiasm has risen! No matter how much we talk, it's not as shocking as the benefits we get!

As soon as the groundbreaking ceremony ended, several bulldozers began to hum.

The site leveling and hardening work has officially begun!

As soon as the leaders left, the scene immediately entered a wave of hard work!

There is a sign on the roadside that reads, "Passion ignites dreams, struggle creates the future!"

The sound of horse hooves,

A string of carriages appeared in sight.

The carriage was piled with bags of lime and cement, which were brought from Xinmin Town in the north.

There, there were several large warehouses in Tang Yantian’s tank training base. Yin Xinjun went there specifically. In addition to filling the warehouses with fuel, canned food, rice and flour, he also reserved a room specifically to take out the construction materials in the space and filled it up as well!

Mulan County,

Qingfeng Street,

In front of Mulan County Economic Development Bank,

A truck was parked there.

Bank staff carried boxes of dollars and gold bars off the truck!

Just this time, Yin Xinjun supplemented the Development Bank with capital of 40 oceans and 1000 gold bars!

Chen Yao stood at the door and said to Yin Xinjun excitedly,

"Commander, this much money should be enough this time!"

When a bank issues banknotes, according to market rules, it must have hard currency of equal value that can be used as collateral!

Due to the need for the first phase of the project to start, the bank issued an additional 1000 million yuan in shopping vouchers! And considering Wang Shuigen and his team's need to purchase construction materials, Yin Xinjun brought in a large sum of money!

"It's far from enough. Haha, I'll add another batch next week!"

There are only a few people who know about the grand plan in my heart!
