The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

"Well done. You will be responsible for their picking flowers, soapberries, and digging river sand." Jiang Fan patted Xia Qianxing on the shoulder and said with a smile.

At this time, the officials following Xia Qianxing came over with apologetic smiles on their faces and said to Jiang Fan, "Your Highness, what do you think we can do? If Lord Xia can do it, we can do it too!"

The one who spoke was the Huaining County Magistrate, and the remaining officials nearby looked at Jiang Fan eagerly.

Ever since Jiang Fan beat them up, these people have become obedient. However, Jiang Fan doesn't ask them to do anything and only orders Xia Qianxing around, which makes them very uneasy.

Even though you don't do anything, it's a good thing to enjoy your leisure time.

But the problem is that they offended Jiang Fan at the beginning. If they don’t do something, they are afraid that they will become like the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.

These people have already found out about the Jingzhao prefect, and are now terrified.

"What for? Why not go up the mountain with the victims to pick flowers and soapberries? Or go dig river sand." Jiang Fan looked at them playfully.

Several officials were stunned when they heard this. They were asked to pick flowers, collect soapberries, and dig river sand with the disaster victims? Wasn't this just fooling them?

Jiang Fan looked at the stunned people and asked with narrowed eyes: "Why? You don't want to?"

"No, no... We're willing! We're willing!" Facing Jiang Fan's dangerous gaze, several officials felt bitter in their hearts, but they still waved their hands repeatedly.

There was no way. They couldn't afford to offend Jiang Fan now, so they could only obey him.

Xia Qianxing was not very fond of these people. When he heard that Jiang Fan wanted them to pick flowers, collect soapberries, and dig river sand, he sent them out without hesitation.

Jiang Fan was too lazy to look at these things, so he turned around and prepared to go back to the city. However, after taking a few steps, he saw Xiaolan waiting not far away. Or rather, it was the Chu brothers who saw Xiaolan.

"Your Highness, the lady asked me to bring you a letter..." Chu Xiaolan was dressed in black, and her exquisite figure made her look delicate and charming.

Jiang Fan had seen her yesterday, but because it was night, he couldn't see her clearly. When he saw her this time, he was stunned by her exquisite figure and pretty face.

Although she is still slightly inferior to Chu Yan'er and is at the same level as Chu Xiaoya, the heroic spirit and explosive momentum she exudes still give her a unique charm.

Jiang Fan didn't keep staring at Chu Xiaolan, as that would be very impolite. He took the letter with a smile, nodded to Xiaolan and said:

"Miss Xiaolan, go back and tell your mistress that I am very grateful for her care... I will give her some gifts in a few days!"

Jiang Fan didn't need to guess, he knew what letter Chu Yan'er sent him. With Chu Yan'er's intelligence, she must have thought the same thing as him.

Although there was no need for her to do so, her actions actually showed that she cared about him.

Jiang Fan, who had never been in love, felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Xiaolan was stunned when she heard this. She was a little confused. Although she was not as smart as Chu Yan'er, she also understood the meaning of Jiang Fan's words.

My son-in-law seems to know the contents of the young lady's letter. Are the two of them so in tune with each other?

Thinking about how her young lady was deeply in love with Jiang Fan, but Jiang Fan didn't even think about winning the bet and was still picking flowers, playing with grass and sand, she felt a little unfair for her young lady.

Therefore, she said with a bit of annoyance in her voice: "Your Highness, although the bandit problem has been solved, the issue of grain prices has not been resolved yet, you...!"

However, in the end, she still didn't say the rest of the words. After all, she was just a maid. She didn't have the qualifications to accuse Jiang Fan.

Hearing this, Jiang Fan looked at the little girl in front of him whose expression suddenly changed, and burst into laughter.

Just then, a group of horse-drawn carriages carrying grain appeared at the end of the road ahead, many of which were hung with the logos of their respective businesses.

Seeing the appearance of these carriages, Jiang Fan curled his lips. Just after solving the bandit problem last night, grain carts came. It seems that these grain merchants who want to make money have been waiting outside Huaining County for a long time.

Judging from the commotion last night, they probably got the news and rushed over early in the morning, hoping to make some money as soon as possible. They were even faster than Jiang Fan had imagined.

Jiang Fan looked at the fleet of grain trucks, turned to the resentful little girl and said, "Little girl, do you see those grain trucks? With them here, the grain price will drop soon!"

As soon as Jiang Fan said this, Chu Xiaolan was stunned, even Chu Chengxiong and Chu Chengrui beside her were stunned, they all looked at Jiang Fan with confusion.

What does the drop in grain prices have to do with these grain trucks? They came here for five times the grain price, and you can still ask them to lower the price? Are you kidding me?

"Your Highness, do you think I'm stupid?" Chu Xiaolan couldn't help but rolled her eyes. I feel so tired!

Although His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince was truly powerful and had amazing means, she really didn't believe him when he said that he could only rely on the grain merchants to lower grain prices.

"Don't you think you're stupid?" Jiang Fan looked at Chu Xiaolan with a smile and gently tapped her head.

He didn't know what was wrong, but the little girl looked cute when she pouted and was angry, so he couldn't help but want to tease her.

It's really that Allen Chu is dressed in a warrior costume, like a chivalrous woman, but although she looks heroic, she sometimes looks a little silly and cute. I can't help it.

The little girl was stunned by the explosion. Feeling the pain, she touched her forehead and looked at Jiang Fan with even more resentment.

But her pretty face turned red in an instant, and she didn't dare to look at Jiang Fan anymore, and her heartbeat suddenly became as fast as a drum.

Jiang Fan ignored the little girl's reaction and turned around to follow Chu Chengxiong and Chu Chengrui back to Huaining County. The situation will take a few more days to ferment.

Moreover, in order to prevent the grain merchants in Huaining County from causing trouble, he had to make preparations early.

The little girl came back to her senses at this time, and when she saw Jiang Fan returning to the city, she stomped her feet on the spot, her face full of shyness.

With a light snort, a smile inexplicably emerged on her face. She jumped onto the horse gracefully and rode towards Huai'an County.

On Jiang Fan's side, when he returned to his residence, he saw the letter Chu Yan'er wrote to him, and he couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart.

Just as he guessed, Chu Yan'er asked Jiang Fan to present the Sky Thunder Weapon to Emperor Yan.

Her thoughts were the same as Jiang Fan's. With such a deadly weapon in his hand, if Emperor Yan was provoked by someone, he would definitely develop resentment.

Jiang Fan must offer the gunpowder formula before others provoke him. Only in this way can he continue to gain the favor of Emperor Yan.

Before he grows up, he still needs the protection of Emperor Yan.

Of course, Jiang Fan was not worried that the gunpowder would be used by others. This thing was temporarily in the hands of Emperor Yan, so it was safe for him.

Moreover, Jiang Fan only gave the gunpowder formula. Apart from the bamboo mines and elm barrel technology that he was currently using, he would not teach any other weapons technology.

These things will be his life-saving trump cards, and he will look for opportunities to develop them slowly. By then, even if the enemy gets the gunpowder and the two sides meet on the battlefield, the only one who will suffer will be his enemy.

On the other side, Chu Xiaolan returned to Huai'an County and told Chu Yan'er about Jiang Fan's reaction when he received the letter.
