Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

At noon, at the Beijing Railway Station, Jiang Xifeng arrived at the platform with deep emotion. Aunt Zhao, who was standing next to her, looked a little pale because she was quite old and could not withstand the bumpy ride and fatigue all night.

After tremblingly getting off the platform, he coughed a few times while breathing the air of Beijing, and then he couldn't help but say, "The weather in the north is dry, unlike the humid Shanghai. The sun alone is so strong that it can kill people. It's not suitable, and I really can't live here for a long time."

Jiang Xifeng had lived in the capital for many years and had adapted to its climate. However, she had lived in Shanghai for more than half a month and returned to her old place suddenly. She felt as if there were heat waves rolling in the air, and even a trace of air had been evaporated.

He couldn't help but frown and said, "Aunt Zhao, it's like this here. You didn't know about the famine a few years ago. Even wild vegetable roots and plantains were hard to find. The starving people in the surrounding communes couldn't survive and ate Guanyin soil and peeled tree bark. As a result, the sandstorms from the north flowed in unimpeded. The sandstorms would last for half a month, and your mouth would be filled with dust as soon as you breathed in."

Jiang Xifeng had studied agronomy in college, so she naturally knew that the north was dry and sandy. The northern grasslands had been overgrazed and cultivated, resulting in salinization of the land. Whenever the wind blew, dust would move all the way south.

However, because there are no high mountains to block the capital city and the corresponding green plants are not planted enough, the sand and gravel from the grassland can flow freely and unrestrainedly. In addition, there is little rainfall in the north, so the heat is different from the scorching sun in the south.

The heat in the north is the kind of dry heat that evaporates all the moisture in the air and dries everything out. It is unlike the south, where most of the heat is like the heat in a steamer because of the dense water network.

As for Shanghai, because it is close to the ocean, the ocean's climate regulates the heat capacity ratio, so the environment is more suitable. Aunt Zhao has been living in Shanghai in the south for a long time, so naturally she finds it difficult to accept the dry heat in the north for a while.

"Alas, these days are not easy. Everyone has to tighten their belts and live a hard life. I thought that in the capital, the people's complexion and conditions and treatment are much better."

After leaving the train station, Aunt Zhao looked at the passers-by driving horse-drawn carts on the roadside and the narrow streets and alleys, and felt that the whole world seemed gray, as if there was an illusion of gloomy haze.

This is not surprising. After all, Shanghai is known as the "Ten Miles of Ocean Beach". As a window for commercial trade with many countries on the other side of the ocean, coupled with the influence of some concessions, the city's planning and layout has become modernized.

As for the capital city, since it has always been the capital, the layout of many courtyard houses has been finalized. One can imagine the resistance and difficulty that would be encountered if one suddenly wanted to change the city planning.

Apart from anything else, the demolition of the old city wall has already been subject to a lot of criticism and obstruction in order to improve traffic congestion. If the old man had not insisted on going against all objections, an accident would probably have occurred every few minutes just because of the previous congested city gate.

At this time, Jiang Xifeng had no time to care about the inconvenience caused by the environment. After stopping a carriage, she went straight to Li Huaide's office at the steel rolling mill.

She was well-informed and had long since inquired from many sources, knowing everything that was going on in the capital. She knew even more clearly that Li Huaide was moving around and was preparing to temporarily escape to southern Yunnan to avoid the limelight. Now was the perfect time to strike him down once and for all.
