In Yingshang County, rice shops everywhere are still competing to sell rice grain.

However, the people are not stupid, although the location of the shop rented by the Yu family from Xia Huan is good, but if the price of other rice shops drops quickly, it will naturally attract more people.

The flow of people coming and going seems to have suddenly regained its former demeanor.

Whether it is malicious competition or supply and demand, in short, because of the arrival of the Yu family, food prices have fallen wildly.

At this time, no one can care about anyone, and earning money in their pockets is the current idea of everyone now.

In just one day, the price of grain dropped by more than 300 Chu coins, a full quarter.

It was getting dark, just when the hearts of the families thought that the curfew was about to begin. In the county office, there was news that the curfew had been lifted.

After hearing this, many supervisors on the Ying almost couldn't help vomiting blood.

During the day, everyone's competition is already extremely fierce. If the fighting continues into the evening, then it is estimated that it will not take them two or three days, and the price will have to fall back to the same state completely.

You know, this time, the stakes are too great. Not only the families near Yingshang and Shoudu, but even the families in Nanyang were involved.

What's more critical is that the shops that Xia Huan bought aggressively were rented out to those Nanyang families at a high price.

If the price of food really drops, I am afraid, they will not even be able to earn back their capital.

Of course, with such a big black cauldron, Xia Huan didn't want to carry it alone.

Therefore, the Yu family naturally became the best candidate.

Moreover, the family is also divided into groups. Although the Yu family's power is not as good as before, in Jiangdong, it can still be regarded as a local snake.

Even the two major families of Shoudu, such as Jingji, also don't want to be in Jiangdong, which makes them move their muscles.

Moreover, this time, it was the Yu family that most directly broke their interests. It can also be said that the first wave of anger was pushed on the head of the Yu family.

Of course, Yu Gu, who was in the county government, didn't know anything about these news.

The entire county government can be said to be Xia Huan's base camp. The slightest bit of information will not be put in for him.

If Yu Gu really knows, I'm afraid the matter will have to be another matter.

In the county office, Xia Huan and Yu Gu had a banquet for a whole day.

In the evening, even Chen Zhaoming, who accompanied him, was already red-faced. It can be seen that there is indeed a lot of wine.

During the banquet, Xia Huan tried his best to move some interesting things on the wing to the banquet, which opened Yu Gu's eyes.

At the end of the day, it can be said that the guests of honor are happy.

"Second Brother Yu......" Xia Huan burped a thick wine, and slowly stood up with the support of an attendant.

"When I see it today, the little brother knows that it is late! You...... Belch! You see, it's not too early, if the second brother doesn't dislike this mansion, he will rest in this mansion. ”

Yu Gu also drank a lot of wine, and between his eyes, he also fought slightly, and he also stood up tremblingly, arched his hand and said: "Your Highness is benevolent and righteous, how dare Yu Gu disobey?" ”

"Hahaha! Come, the younger brother will personally lead the way for the second brother! Xia Huan laughed and walked down the hall, pulled Yu Gu with him, and walked towards the door.

Between the house roads, Xia Huan deliberately distanced himself from his entourage. But as if he was really drunk, he walked and whispered something to underestimate.

Although Yu Gu on the side heard Xia Huan muttering something, he didn't hear it too truly.

"Second brother, what do you think?"

Suddenly, Xia Huan had a sudden question, which made Yu Gu subconsciously ask, "What did Your Highness say?" ”

"I say!" Xia Huan could raise his voice and said, "I can't do it for long. Looking at the world of Chu country, the good places have been divided by my elder brothers. Right now, there's only one place in Koto! ”

Xia Huan's words suddenly made Yu Gu sober up a little.

Jiangdong can be described as the base camp of the Xiang family. At the beginning, the reason why Taizu strongly demanded to be in Shouchun was also to prevent the Jiangdong family.

It is precisely because of this that over the past few decades, some Jiangdong families have been gradually squeezed to the edge of the court.

More than 20 years ago, he was beaten back to Jiangdong by Taizu in one breath.

Of course, now more than 20 years have passed, and everything that was once has gradually faded with time.

The position of the Xia family has been stabilized, and the current Jiangdong family is no longer thinking about recovering the Xiang family, but how to make the Xia family accept them again.

After all, in this world, there are no eternal enemies and friends, only eternal interests.

As a major representative of the Jiangdong family, the Yu family is naturally very eager to improve its status and enter the court of Shoudu. It is best to be able to connect with the two princes of today.

It's just that the Jiangdong family has long been far away from the court, and with the past, no one dares to be the first to accept them. For fear of angering the current Chu Emperor and causing unwarranted disasters.

Under the desperate begging, Yu Gu who came to Yingshang didn't want to do something from Yingshang Jun Xia Huan, the prince.

Otherwise, how could Yu Gu really rest assured that his subordinates would not care about it for a whole day, and specially accompany Xia Huan to eat, drink and have fun?

At the banquet, Yu Gu also thought that he had figured out the relationship between the prince and the crown prince. Obviously, he has pinned his hopes on Xia Huan to return to the center of the Chu State.

It's just that what he never expected was that the relationship between the two brothers of the same mother was not as deep as he imagined.

Of course, this can also be said to be the result of Xia Huan's deliberate misdirection.

On the corridor, Xia Huan stopped, looked at Yu Gu with drunken eyes and said, "Next year, I will be enough to crown, presumably in two years at most, I will change the title." When the time comes, my brother will definitely ask my father for the title of Huiji. If I seal it, Second Brother Yu won't embarrass the younger brother. ”

"Your Highness is laughing!" Yu Gu hurriedly expressed his position, but his heart was like a storm crashing on the shore.

If the king is crowned, it will attract the disgust of the local scholars. After all, the king represents the central government and represents the royal family. In terms of status, it is above all the nobles.

The scholars who were originally the emperors of the soil suddenly had a top boss, and no one would be happy to accept it.

However, Yu Gu is different. In his opinion, if Xia Huan really sealed the Huiji, it would simply give the Yu family an excellent opportunity to climb.

In particular, Xia Huan also emphasized that it was the prince who asked for the seal. So, does it mean that this will be a temptation for the prince to reach into Jiangdong?

Thinking of this, Yu Gu's heart became more and more hot. The drunken spirit has also been removed.

"If His Royal Highness is to seal the Huiji, my Yu family will definitely welcome him!"

Yu Gu's words, almost without thinking about it, said it.

After hearing this, Xia Huan, who was blushing, also showed a satisfied look.

"Second Brother Yu, rest assured, the younger brother will not treat the second brother badly. This time, it will be a meeting gift from the younger brother to the second brother! Xia Huan smiled and patted Yu Gu's shoulder, and then turned to leave.

And Yu Gu has been immersed in great joy and can't extricate himself for a long time.

Compared with the empty political promises made by Xia Huan, the money earned is insignificant in comparison.
