The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

A few people took the report, and when they saw the content, they were stunned at first, as if they were stupid. However, they soon reacted and burst into laughter.

What did they see? They saw that Jiang Fan actually spent a lot of money to support those people. Even if Jiang Fan completed the task of supporting the people, if he won by chance, it would give them an excuse to attack and remonstrate.

Moreover, when Jiang Fan asked the people to cook feces, they almost laughed to death.

Thinking about how Jiang Fan even thought of cooking manure in order to find an excuse to feed the people, they wanted to laugh out loud to the sky to vent their excitement and joy.

"Okay... okay, my stupid brother is really stupid. He should provide for the people, but he actually boiled manure. Isn't this ridiculous? A prince boils manure. Ridiculous, ridiculous!"

The eldest prince smiled playfully and his mood immediately improved a lot.

"Haha...Royal brother, Old Eight is really capable. He didn't do the most difficult task of suppressing bandits, but actually did such a shameful thing. I'm afraid that Father will be disgusted with him now."

The Third Prince smiled coldly. The Fifth Prince nodded and said, "Why don't we add fuel to the fire and make this matter public on the private list, so that the people of the capital can also see what good things our Eighth Brother has done, and make them happy!"

As he spoke, the eyes of the others lit up.

Yes, Jiang Fan has been involved in scandals since he went to Huaining. How could they miss the opportunity to make Jiang Fan look bad?

The more Emperor Yan values ​​Jiang Fan now, the more the princes hate him.

“By the way, report what Chu Yan’er did as well. Without comparison, there would be no harm…” Ye Ren spoke at this time, his face was gloomy and there was a hint of evil in the corners of his mouth.

Several princes looked at Ye Ren and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. The old ones are still the most experienced. Ye Ren's move was simply to use Chu Yan'er to trample Jiang Fan into the mud.

Of course, they were angry, but they actually had other plans. After all, in order to prevent Jiang Fan from winning, they used every possible means. In addition to the things they had done before, the most crucial move was to drive those bandits.

If those bandits did a good job, it would not only give Jiang Fan a headache, but they could even take the opportunity to kill him. They waited for things to develop.

The next day, notice boards all over the capital, both public and private, announced the progress of Jiang Fan and Chu Yan'er after they entered Huainan to provide disaster relief.

The public notice was fine, it only said that Jiang Fan entered Huaining and recruited more than 60,000 disaster victims to work, and there was not much else written. The Emperor of Yan was too embarrassed to announce the fact that Jiang Fan had led people to dig stones and cook manure.

In addition, a series of measures taken by Chu Yan'er in Huai'an County were announced. Compared with Jiang Fan's few words, Chu Yan'er's was written in more detail.

But the private list was different. It made public all the information about Jiang Fan beating up county officials and leading people to dig up useless stones and boil manure.

In addition, Chu Yan'er's resettlement of disaster victims, construction of river embankments, organization of a team of craftsmen, and suppression of grain prices were all made public.

Soon, the entire capital city knew about the progress of the first day of the bet, especially the detailed explanation on the private list, which immediately stunned all the people.

The people immediately started talking about it, and most of them said that the Eighth Prince was still the familiar and useless Eighth Prince, beating officials, boiling manure, and digging stones.

This is not disaster relief, it's just nonsense. Trash is trash, it can't accomplish anything.

Fortunately, Jiang Fan at least did not harm the people. Apart from saying that Jiang Fan was a waste and was not as good as Chu Yan'er, the people did not say anything else.

However, the people of the entire capital city basically believed that Jiang Fan was doomed to lose.

After all, he did almost nothing serious. Compared with Chu Yan'er's series of measures, he was just passing time. How could the people look favorably upon him?

After receiving feedback from the people, Emperor Yan could only shake his head helplessly. He doubted whether he had trusted his son too much.

But now that things have come to this, the arrow has been on the string and has to be shot. He can only let the situation develop. He only hopes that his son will not do anything out of line and embarrass him again.

Otherwise, he really didn't know whether he should still favor this son.

After seeing the news on the list, Chu Xinghe and his wife were stunned for a long time. They were also nervous and felt that Jiang Fan was really messing around.

However, compared to Chu Xinghe's suspicion of Jiang Fan, Mrs. Chu was much calmer. She always felt that Jiang Fan must have his own plans.

When everything is not settled yet, there is always a chance for things to turn around.

The capital was in an uproar, and several princes were so excited that they started celebrating. The smiles on their faces never stopped.

In Huaining Prefecture, Jiang Fan went to four mining sites early in the morning. The first mining site he went to was the poisonous salt mine, which was under the charge of Fang Hua. When Jiang Fan arrived, rows of shacks had already been built here.

In addition to the ten thousand people who came to work, there were also several thousand elderly, weak, sick, disabled, women and children, who were the families of the ten thousand young and strong men and craftsmen.

Fang Hua is a young man in his twenties. He is handsome, calm and elegant.

He is a man of outstanding ability, shrewd and capable, and was selected by Jiang Fan from the Black Robe Army.

"Your Highness, according to your request, the workers have already started working. Yesterday, I asked the craftsmen to make the first batch of salt-making tools. I asked the workers to produce the first batch of refined salt according to the method given by Your Highness. Would Your Highness like to see it?"

Fang Hua was a little excited, his eyes full of admiration. Yesterday he thought Jiang Fan was joking when he asked him to bring workers here.

But according to the drawings and materials given by Jiang Fan, he actually managed to refine refined salt. Although, everything had just begun and the various equipment could not support the operation of all the workers.

But with strength in numbers, the entire salt field will be back on track in just a few days, and by then, refined salt will be produced in an endless supply.

At that time, the amount of money Jiang Fan could earn was almost unimaginable. Not to mention supporting just over 10,000 people, even if he could support another 100,000 people, it would be more than enough.

Hearing this, Jiang Fan patted Fang Hua's shoulder with satisfaction. He did not choose the wrong person. Fortunately, he made the first bet with Chu Yan'er, which gave him the first batch of good helpers.

"Well, you did a good job. I won't treat you unfairly!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will never let you down." Fang Hua stood straight with excitement on his face.

Chu Chengxiong and Chu Chengrui behind him were so shocked by Fang Hua's information that their jaws almost dropped.

They were still worried yesterday that Jiang Fan was messing around. After all, the salt in the Poison Salt Mountain is poisonous. Isn't it funny that Jiang Fan asked people to dig salt?

But today, they heard that refined salt was refined here. How could they not be shocked?

However, the two brothers soon thought of the drawings and materials that Jiang Fan had someone send over yesterday.

The two of them immediately understood that the drawings and materials that Jiang Fan had drawn before coming to Huaining County, as well as the information he had looked up, were not just random searches.

It turned out that Jiang Fan had been prepared. They did not suspect that the refined salt was fake. After all, they still remembered the wine that Jiang Fan brewed in the capital.

It should be true that he can brew wine and refine refined salt!

Especially when they saw the snow-white refined salt that Fang Hua brought over, they became more convinced of this matter and admired Jiang Fan very much.

They could never have imagined that the black and yellow salt ore in front of them could actually be refined into refined salt. This kind of salt is even inferior to the best refined salt today.

Thinking of the wealth that the refined salt in front of them could bring to Jiang Fan, the two brothers couldn't help but feel envious.
