Transmigrated to 1948, I Became the Living King of Hell in Siheyuan

[Ding! Old Mrs. Deaf boasts about her contribution to army shoes, triggering the “Expose the Real Story” event!]

Su Yang discovers that something is off about this courtyard:

✧ Yi Zhonghai is eavesdropping outside Zhou Bingkun’s home from "A Lifelong Journey"

✧ Xu Damao has sworn brotherhood with Jiang Defu from "Romance of Our Parents"

✧ Silly Zhu has stolen Bai Jingqi’s secret recipe for slop from "The Grand Mansion Gate"

Then the internship System awakens

◆ He uses the ideas of "The Age of Awakening" to give the whole courtyard a civics lesson

◆ He sends an audio recording of Jia Zhangshi wailing at a grave to the "Youth" song-and-dance troupe as a cautionary example

◆ He lets Liu Haizhong experience Li Yunlong’s “regimental commander training” from "Drawing Sword"

When Old Mrs. Deaf sees the wall covered in national honors:

“I made a thousand pairs of cloth-soled shoes? Su Yang made a bulletproof vest for the teacher!”

When Jia Dongxu is stuffed into the bandit-suppression squad from "Tracks in the Snowy Forest":

“Mom! The bandits say that refusing to hand over flour and offering them crap instead is aiding the enemy!”

Meanwhile, Su Yang is making his plans:

He signs Qin Huairu up for "Minning Town"’s training program for women cadres assigned to settlement work

He teaches Lou Xiao’e to make soap using chemical know-how from "Like a Flowing River"

When Xu Damao reports Su Yang for speculation and profiteering

The neighborhood office points to the calligraphy on the wall that reads, “Development is the absolute principle”:

“This courtyard is a special pilot zone for reform and opening up, approved by the teacher himself!”

The beasts of the courtyard fall to their knees and beg: “Send us to Gongdelin! That’s scarier than reform through labor!”
