The first target plane, Yanhuang Continent.

At this time, it was the beginning of January 1944, and there was not much time left before the Spring Festival, which was the most important thing for the people of Yan and Huang. Whether it is the residents of the Guangfu District north of the Yangtze River, the residents of the newly liberated south of the Yangtze River, or the residents of the southwest regions under the control of the Bald Party, they are all calculating the amount of money they have left, pondering what kind of things to buy and what kind of food to buy to welcome the arrival of the Spring Festival.

The entire Yanhuang Continent north of the Yangtze River benefited from the socialist transformation movement that began in the second half of 1943, and basically every household, whether it was a rural or urban resident, moved into a bright, clean, and comfortable new house or big house. Every family is planning to be lively and beautiful at the moment, celebrating the first significant New Year after moving into their new home. Their tone is that they must live well, beautifully, sufficiently, and enjoyable!

Beijing, Jinhai and other places.

Let's talk about Jinhai first, the New Year's flavor here began as early as a few days ago when boiling Laba porridge, earlier the common people could not afford to buy lotus seeds, longan, barley, large kidney beans and other valuable auxiliary materials, at this time neatly placed in the counters of the commissaries and food stores in various places, allowing people to choose carefully.

In front of the Niangniang Palace in Jinhai City, on the antique commercial street where the new construction is completed, the tourists are surging and staggered like a tide, and everyone plans to rely on the income and savings earned by their hard work within half a year, and concentrate on buying traditional New Year's goods here.

"Give me 20 hanging money, and two red lanterns, the biggest one." A middle-aged man gestured to the large lantern in the shop.

"Boss, bring me 10 New Year's pictures." Another female customer chimed in.

"And me, there are 18 lucky words for fortune and treasure!"

"It's all there, it's all there, don't worry, we have prepared enough goods in our store this year." In the early years, Zhu Huizhao's family, who had three generations of ancestors and relied on making New Year paintings and lanterns to make a living, was busy at this time. But although he was busy, Boss Zhu was in a good mood, he was not afraid of the guests buying things and arguing in a hurry, so he looked up with a smile and explained. You must know that for this year's unexpected prosperous year, Boss Zhu looks at the rising sales every day, but he will unconsciously wake up with a smile when he sleeps at night.

In a clothing and cloak shop on Estimation Street.

"Shopkeeper, bring me two new felt hats."

"Salesperson, please tear 4 zhang of fabric of this material for me, and I want to make 2 coats for the 'master'."

"Mother, do you think I look good in this dress?"

"Good-looking, really good-looking, or my girl's most handsome!"

"Man, let's be cheaper, the materials of 'Xi Donglong' are only sold for 6 jiao and 5 cents, but you are marked here for 8 jiao, which is too expensive!"

In more than a dozen clothing and hat shops along the street, there are customers' discussions, bargaining and praise from time to time.

Beijing, South Tonggu Lane.

This is one of the oldest neighborhoods in old Beijing. From Gulou East Street in the north, to Di'anmen East Street in the south, the total length is 786 meters, the width is 8 meters, and the Yuan Dadu was built at the same time, that is, it was built at that time in 1267. At that time, the craftsmen cut the "tofu" of Beijing into a boxy shape, and each alley was due south and north, east and west, thus influencing and creating Beijingers with a strong sense of orientation. If you're in Tsukai, you'll usually just say where to turn left or right, because there are very few roads in Tsukai that are straight and the direction remains the same.

At this time, the Dashilar in Beijing City has already taken on a new look after the major transformation of the Yanhuanghong Party with work-for-relief. The stone floor tiles that should be replaced, the asphalt that should be pressed, the wooden buildings that should be repainted, everything that should be thought of, what should be thought of and what not expected, are all taken into account in the words of the ancient house restoration expert group.

Therefore, at this time, Dashilar is full of flowers and lively. The shop on the street, the century-old store "Barbecue Season" and "Belly Burst" in the future opened to welcome customers, and the Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant, Huixianju Fried Liver Restaurant, Duyi Roasted Wheat Restaurant, Zhengyanglou Restaurant, Ruishengxiang, Jiulongzhai Dried Fruit Shop, Ruifuxiang Silk Cloth Shop, Black Monkey Hat Shop, Liubiju Pickle Garden, and One-stop Mutton Restaurant are lined up in turn, plus the boiled aroma of the hawkers along the street, the sour taste of bean juice, and the traditional craftsmen who sit on the bench and set up a small stall, make noodles, clay figures, silk figures, face masks, kites, paper-cutting, Sugar paintings, etc., set off the entire Dashilar area with the sound of people, in full swing, really like a street market in the sky, a prosperous scene.

"Hey, Fifth Master Zhang, I'm giving you a New Year's greeting in advance!" A middle-aged man in a traditional coat, who has reached the age of 40, bowed to the old man opposite with his fists folded.

"Don't, don't, Liuzi, don't do this now!"

"Hey~~ You always relax, I want you to be happy, and you don't hurt anyone or insult anyone. Besides, the current Beijing Provisional Government didn't say that it would ban the etiquette of the past, right? It's the New Year, let's have fun and be happy! The man with the nickname Liuzi happily answered.

"You kid, why can't you do it, you can't eat enough. That's all left with this mouth, 'sweet person' (slang, flattering)! ”

"Haha, don't say it, in this world, I can really live like this. I have heard from the government officials that in the future, Beijing will develop a tourism industry, and there will be a need for people like me who can speak well. We don't dare to boast about anything else, but when it comes to telling the wild history anecdotes, celebrity anecdotes, and meat and vegetarian jokes of old Beijing for decades, inside and out, hehe, I can say it for three days and three nights without repeating it, and you don't have to worry about listening to it! ”

"Hehe, you kid~~"

At the same time, south of the Yangtze River, Anfu Village, Ningdu County, Jiangxi Province.

"Second baby, in charge!" A woman in the village ran back to the back hill in three steps and two steps, looking for her man who was chopping wood.

"What's wrong?" Seeing his wife scurrying around like a "crazy woman", Zhuang Tian, the head of the family, was a little displeased.

"Boss, hurry, the Red Party is dividing the New Year's goods in the village. According to the head, you go back with Erwa and me. ”

"Really?"

"Why am I lying to you, hurry up!"

"Second baby, come with your mother, I'll come later." Seeing the firewood scattered on the ground, Zhuang Tian thought about it a little, but still didn't want to give up the fruits of his half-day labor, so he decided to let the second child go first, and then follow with the firewood on his back.

"Yes, Dad!"

Inside Anfu Village.

Several Red Party fighters and staff, with the assistance of the village chief, are registering and taking photos of the villagers one by one, distributing New Year's goods and materials, and collecting personal information at the same time, so as to establish basic files for the future nationwide people's identity networking and credit management. Because of the tangible benefits, no one missed out and the registration process went smoothly. It's just that due to the vast area south of the Yangtze River and the large number of people, the big trucks and motorcycle tricycles that transport materials and goods need to drive back and forth non-stop, running non-stop.

On the same day, in Huizhou County, Guangdong Province, a new train full of goods slowly stopped in the newly built new railway station.

This is a train from Shandong, carrying all kinds of daily necessities, medicines and other commodities urgently needed by residents in the south, especially in Guangdong. With the help of many cash-for-work porters, and with the unloading of special machinery operated by soldiers of the army, everyone is working together to try to get the goods to the areas where they need it in the shortest possible time.

On the whole, although Wang Fan placed a large amount of food, medicine, basic daily necessities and other materials in many secret warehouse locations in the south through the plane ring. However, the conditions in each region are very different, and it is impossible for Wang Fan to transport them alone to meet the needs of tens of thousands of rural areas. In addition, he has to spare most of his time to improve the road and railway transportation network on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Therefore, in the end, the important task of meeting 100% of the actual material needs of various places fell on the two departments newly established by the Yanhuanghong Party, the Material Management Bureau and the Traffic Management Bureau. The former is responsible for the statistical distribution of inventory materials in various regions, while the latter is responsible for arranging and dispatching truck fleets and train wagons to all parts of the country.

As for the transformation of the southern railway network and highway network, in view of the fact that the south has just been liberated, and various things are very different, in order to reduce the number of brain cells, Wang Fan directly copied the layout of several major railways in the later generations of the main plane, forming the skeleton of the railway network of the southern provinces with the provincial capital as the center to stretch the line:

1. The largest transportation hub in the north and south: Beijing-Guangzhou line

From Beijing to the south through Shijiazhuang, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Changsha to the south gate of Yanhuang Guangzhou. Along the way, it runs through six provinces and cities, crosses five major river basins, passes through the North China Plain, the Two Lakes Plain, the Jiangnan Hills, crosses the Nanling Mountains, and connects the Pearl River Delta.

2. The main traffic artery in the east and west coastal areas: Beijing-Shanghai line

It starts in Beijing and reaches Shanghai via Jinhai, Jinan, Xuzhou and Nanjing. It runs through the three municipalities directly under the central government of Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai and the four provinces of Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu and Anhui, spans the four major water systems, and connects the North China Plain, the Jianghuai Plain and the Yangtze River Delta. In addition, the Beijing-Shanghai line is also connected to the Beijing-Shenyang line in the north and Shanghai-Hangzhou in the south.

3. The second largest transportation hub in the north and south: Tongpu in the north - Taijiao - Jiaoliu

It starts from Datong, Shanxi in the north, passes through Taiyuan, Jiaozuo, and Zhicheng to Liuzhou. It is basically parallel to the Beijing-Guangzhou line. Along the line, it passes through five provinces (regions), spans three major river basins, and runs through the Loess Plateau, the mountains of western Henan, the Jianghan Plain, the mountains of western Hunan and the hills of Guangzhou.

4. The third largest transportation hub in the north and south: Beijing-Kowloon Line

It also starts in Beijing and reaches Kowloon, Hong Kong from Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, Hubei, Jiangxi and Guangdong. Along the line, it spans five major water systems, running through the North China Plain, Poyang Lake Plain, Dabie Mountain, Jinggang Mountain, and Liangguang Hills.

5. East-west trunk line in the south of the Yangtze River: Shanghai-Hangzhou-Zhejiang-Jiangxi-Hunan-Guizhou-Guizhou-Kunming line

The whole line starts from Shanghai in the east, passes through Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other six provinces and cities, connects the Yangtze River Delta, Jiangnan hills and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with a total length of 2677km. It is the east-west artery that runs through the south of the Yangtze River.

It is precisely because of the trunk railway network that basically covers the whole Yanhuang Continent that the Lunar New Year in early 1944 gradually began in an anticipating, lively and festive atmosphere throughout the Yanhuang Continent. Except for a few areas such as Sichuan and Yunnan, the vast majority of people in the Yanhuang Continent can at least happily eat a meal of oily and hot white flour meatball dumplings with their families during the Spring Festival. Of course, what they didn't expect was that in addition to Wang Fan's best efforts in terms of material support, he also prepared an additional "happy" gift package for everyone.
