The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

In the private room on the other side, Chu Xinghe and Mrs. Chu listened to the noise here, with a hint of mockery and contempt on their faces.

During these two days, several princes celebrated wildly, but they were more or less filled with anger in their hearts and were holding their breath.

Mrs. Chu, on the other hand, seemed much calmer and always felt that Jiang Fan would definitely fight back.

Therefore, she had been sitting next to several princes and courtiers for the past two days, watching the fun quietly.

Chu Xinghe was forced to come here by his wife. Hearing the people next door being so proud and happy, he almost got hurt several times.

He thought he would continue to feel so depressed, but he never expected that the news he just received would be so shocking.

He couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and wanted to run to the next room to show off and piss off the others. Unfortunately, his wife wouldn't let him.

Thinking of how Jiang Fan had slapped those people in the face, Chu Xinghe was not only happy, but also very proud. He turned to look at his wife and said in a flattering manner:

"Madam, I hope your husband didn't make a mistake this time. Do you want to give me a little reward tonight?"

Thinking of his wife's reward, he was excited and agitated.

Upon hearing this, Madam Chu's pretty face flushed with shame. She gave Chu Xinghe a coquettish look and said, "Then you didn't make a mistake? A blind cat has caught a dead mouse, and you are still showing off... It's my son-in-law who is powerful, not a blind cat like you..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xinghe quickly argued, "Madam, you can't say that. No matter how stupid you are... I have found a good son-in-law for our Chu family... Otherwise... at night..."

At this point, he looked at his wife with a pig-like expression. `

"Go... go... go... stop making trouble..." Mrs. Chu felt sweet in her heart when she heard that. She tapped Chu Xinghe's head with her finger. She looked at the lively crowd below, her face slightly gloomy.

"Although Faner unexpectedly wiped out two gangs of bandits this time, the weapon in his hand may bring him trouble!"

As soon as he said this, Chu Xinghe immediately became serious.

Yes, Jiang Fan has such a powerful weapon in his hand, it is inevitable that he will be suspected by Emperor Yan. Even if Emperor Yan dotes on Jiang Fan, he is afraid that someone will instigate him in front of Emperor Yan.

Unless Jiang Fan voluntarily surrenders his weapons, there is a high possibility that a rift will arise between him and Emperor Yan.

"With that kid's intelligence, he should be able to figure this out... Let's wait until he comes back before we talk about anything else." Chu Xinghe nodded.

Upon hearing this, Madam Chu stared at the list in a trance. If Jiang Fan had not taken out that weapon, even if Jiang Fan failed in his bid for succession in the future, with this weapon in hand, he would definitely have a chance of turning the tables.

But now, if this weapon is offered, Jiang Fan will lose his biggest trump card.

Now that things have developed to this point, it is irreversible. All we can do is take it one step at a time. It all depends on whether Jiang Fan can succeed in his bid for the throne.

Even if Jiang Fan fails, her Chu family will firmly stand on Jiang Fan's side. This is their Chu family's choice. It has nothing to do with the bet.

………………

Mrs. Chu was worried that Jiang Fan would get into trouble because of the powerful weapon. Chu Yan'er, who was far away in Huai'an, was also uneasy when she woke up early in the morning.

Because of the shock she received from the bamboo thunder last night, she didn't think too much about it for a while. But when she woke up early in the morning and her mind was clear, she thought about this question.

She quickly got up and wrote a letter, then found her maid Xiaolan and asked her to make sure the letter was delivered to Jiang Fan.

Regardless of whether Jiang Fan has thought about this or not, she must inform Jiang Fan as soon as possible to be prepared.

On Jiang Fan's side, he sent the captured bandits to the limestone mine to mine. With nearly 2,000 laborers, the progress of the work at the limestone mine was accelerated.

As for the remaining bandit leaders, he sent Niu Zheng to escort them to the capital and hand them over to the Ministry of Justice for punishment. These people were bound to be beheaded.

Jiang Fan asked Niu Zheng to take a letter to Chu Xinghe and then pass it on to his father.

When Chu Xiaolan arrived in Huaining County, Jiang Fan had just sent Niu Zheng away. At this time, he was directing a group of disaster victims to pick flowers and soapberries, and organizing people to dig river sand.

Now that he has so many people under his control, it is a good time to develop vigorously. It is far from enough to make Huaining County a commercial capital.

He needs to develop more profitable projects. As for the issue of grain prices, he has already thought about it in his mind, so it is not the time to make trouble yet.

But he couldn't just do nothing during his free time.

After a day of running-in at the four mineral veins, Jiang Fan asked Dai Yunzong and four others to send back some of the redundant personnel.

At the limestone mine that Yang Yexu is in charge of, there are still some vacancies due to the heavy workload and large number of products produced.

Jiang Fan assigned some of the people to Yang Yexu, and the rest of them remained in Huaining County and were freely transferred by him.

In addition to the people who stayed behind, plus the people transferred from various places, Jiang Fan had more than 5,000 people available. This did not include the families brought by these people.

However, five thousand people are not too many, but not too few either, and are barely enough for Jiang Fan to command.

Therefore, when Chu Xiaolan rushed to Huaining County, she saw Jiang Fan at the east gate, directing the victims to go up the mountain to pick flowers, collect soap beans and dig river sand.

Seeing Jiang Fan talking endlessly to the victims, he sorted the flowers into categories, told them not to mix them up, not to get them dirty, and how to pick the soapberries. The river sand was dried.

She was confused when she heard this, and the first thought that popped into her mind was, what does her son-in-law want to do now?

Before, they were boiling manure and sending people to dig stones. Now that the bandits have been solved, they are bored and are preparing to harvest the flowers, soapberries, and river sand in Huaining County?

She really wanted to go up and ask her son-in-law, the disaster relief bet had to complete three tasks to be considered successful, and eliminating the bandits was only one of them.

Let’s not talk about whether the task of providing livelihoods for the disaster victims has been successful or not, but the price of grain in Huaining has increased fivefold?

Now that those people in the capital are causing trouble, he can't focus on thinking about how to lower the price of grain.

Otherwise, we can learn from their daughter and pick out a few typical cases and kill them. The rest of the people will have to obey! ?

Just when she wanted to go up and say a few words to Jiang Fan, she saw Huaining County Magistrate Xia Qianxing running over and said to Jiang Fan respectfully:

"Your Highness, I have bought all the wineries in the city for you, and I have also bought almost all the wine in the city. Do you have anything else to order?"

Xiaolan, who was not far away, was stunned when she heard this. How could the dignified Huaining County Magistrate feel like a lackey and actually do the work of buying things for Jiang Fan?

She didn't know that ever since Jiang Fan solved the problem of disaster relief grain, and after Jiang Fan wiped out two bandit dens in one fell swoop last night, Xia Qianxing had been full of admiration for Jiang Fan.

Now, no matter what Jiang Fan asked him to do, he would do it happily without even asking.

If Jiang Fan asked him to eat shit now, he might not hesitate at all.
