My beloved wife is reborn, let's get divorced, Mr. Prime Minister

The city of Jinling has been turned upside down by Pei Huaizhi and others. In less than half a year, 30% of the land survey work in the south of the Yangtze River has been completed.

Cao Yi was angry. He intuitively felt that Pei Huaizhi was indeed insidious and cunning. He used a blunt knife to cut flesh without causing any pain. By the time he woke up, a lot of his territory had obviously been swallowed up.

What a great Pei Huaizhi!

If a tiger doesn't show its power, you would think it is a sick cat.

At the same time, Pei Huaizhi galloped day and night, aiming his sword at Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Suzhou and Hangzhou are important places in the south of the Yangtze River and are crucial to taking over the entire south of the Yangtze River. Pei Huaizhi's visit to Suzhou and Hangzhou this time, in addition to clearing up the difficult problems before him, is to re-plan the canal shipping.

For exchanges between the north and the south, land transportation is not only costly but also takes a long time. It also makes the capital's centralized control over the important cities in the south of the Yangtze River very weak.

In the past, the canal transportation had been basically abandoned due to years of siltation. The manpower, material and financial resources required to dredge it again would be more complicated than digging a new route. This time, it was necessary to choose the most suitable route, so Pei Shihuaizhi took a fancy to Yuhang's excellent geographical location.

However, this move is not yet complete and requires detailed planning and consultation with Lu Yuan, the Minister of Works, before a decision can be made and reported to Your Majesty.

The Yuhang County Magistrate already knew Pei Huaizhi's name. Pei Huaizhi didn't have time to beat around the bush because he had to return to Jinling before the end of the month.

Because, according to what was originally said, Song Qingcheng would be returning to the capital at the end of the month, and he had to make good arrangements to send her back to the capital safely.

The Yuhang County Magistrate secretly weighed Pei Huaizhi's proposal!

He knew very well that for an official like him who was serving in a remote post, if he did not agree to Pei Huaizhi's conditions, what awaited him would definitely not be a simple parting in peace. Although the man in front of him had an outstanding temperament and looked like a scholar, the iron-fisted methods of this young man could not be ignored. After all, the chicken that was killed to scare the monkeys in Jinling City was still exposed in the wilderness, and no one dared to collect the body.

Although he would never go so far as to align himself with the powerful family that bullied men and women, if he disobeyed, his career path would come to an end.

He did not think about it any more and made up his mind to agree to Pei Huaizhi's request to survey the fields in Yuhang area at the same time. He also gave Pei Huaizhi the water defense map of Yuhang.

Pei Huaizhi had been in Yuhang for less than ten days, and he had basically arranged the work of re-measuring the land in Yuhang. He thought that after another seven or eight days, the whole land survey in Yuhang would be on track.

However, for several consecutive days, Yuhang was hit by continuous drizzle.

Pei Huaizhi stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his brows slightly furrowed, obviously absent-minded, and even seemed to be worried about some difficult problem.

The Yuhang County Magistrate, who was standing to one side and reporting official documents, was somewhat puzzled. He also looked out the window, sighed and said, "The land survey will have to be postponed for a while. I'm afraid it will rain for another five or six days."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Huaizhi's brows furrowed even deeper, and his face became a little gloomy, as if he was worried about something.

Is it raining all over the neighborhood?

Pei Huaizhi asked in a deep voice: "Jinling City should be raining as well, right?"

The Yuhang County Magistrate hurriedly replied: "The two places are not far away, I think so."

As soon as these words fell, the Yuhang County Magistrate saw that Pei Huaizhi's face in front of him became even gloomier, even darker than the low-hanging sky outside.

He said the wrong thing!

Minister Pei always looks calm, but why does he look a little irritated today? Could it be that he accidentally offended Minister Pei without realizing it?

The Yuhang County Magistrate kept silent because Minister Pei was absent-minded, which was unusual for him. It seemed that he didn't hear what he was saying. He was reflecting on where he had said the wrong thing.

Then he comforted himself, thinking that Minister Pei in front of him must be upset because the weather had prevented him from re-measurement of the fields.

Suddenly, a loud thunderclap sounded from the gloomy sky.

When the Yuhang County Magistrate saw Minister Pei in front of him, his expression completely changed, which further confirmed what he was thinking.

Pei Huaizhi turned around and told the magistrate of Yuhang County to keep a close eye on the matter and not close the gap that had just been opened. After all, the wealthy families in places like Suzhou, Hangzhou, Zhenjiang and Yangzhou mostly used Nanjing as a signal. Over the past ten days, some of the wealthy families in these important cities in the south of the Yangtze River had been flattering him openly but secretly creating many obstacles in the implementation of national policies.

Many of the difficulties caused by these obstacles have been resolved by him and the county magistrate of Yuhang, but now he wants him to return to Jinling in advance. His only worry is that the problems will resurface after they are solved, so he repeatedly instructed the county magistrate of Yuhang to focus on a few companies.

Since the magistrate of Yuhang had taken sides, he no longer wanted to look around as he did before, and now he had completely let go of his hands and feet. Moreover, the magistrate of Yuhang was a Jinshi of the current dynasty and a Beijing official who was sent to other places. He had the ability, and now he needed the blessing of political achievements more, so he used his power without reservation to push forward the re-measurement of the land.

Even if we take a step back, it's nice to take shelter under a big tree. No matter what happens in the end, Pei Huaizhi will always be there to support him. What is he afraid of?

Pei Huaizhi explained everything and went out without caring about the heavy rain. He walked down the corridor and the long-time attendant who was waiting for him held an umbrella over his head, and the master and servant hurried out of the yamen.

Because of his anxiety, coupled with the heavy rain that continued to pour down, Pei Huaizhi's black boots stepped on the wet bluestone road of the government office, splashing a lot of water.

The long-servant Shuqi was holding an oil-powder umbrella and had prepared a raincoat in advance.

Because ever since the first time the young mistress was afraid of rain and thunder, whenever it rained and thundered, the adults would be like this, and no matter what they were doing outside, they would rush back to the young mistress.

Books and chess are nothing new.

The rain hasn’t stopped yet!

The magistrate of Yuhang County wondered what had happened in Jinling, so he forced Minister Pei to go back to Jinling in the heavy rain.

Then he followed behind him, "Speaking of which, it's raining heavily these days. Minister Pei, why don't you wait until the rain subsides before continuing your journey?"

These words were swallowed up by the downpour, without even a splash of water.

At the same time, Pei Huaizhi casually put on the raincoat he had prepared in advance, abandoned his carriage and rode his horse, braved the heavy rain, and galloped back to Jinling at night. An autumn rain, a cold, this autumn rain mixed with the cold wind washed Pei Huaizhi's body wantonly. The color of the blue shirt gradually darkened. But it did not conceal the man's elegant demeanor at all.

As expected, when we set foot in Jinling, the city of Jinling was also in constant storm, which added a bit of melancholy to the prosperous Jinling.

Pei Huaizhi rode his horse quickly towards Lianyi Garden. The sound of horse hooves caused splashes of air.

In just one night, he rushed back to Jinling from Yuhang.
