Chapter 719: Three Thousand Beauties
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Luo Cheng said, “I’m not sure if Daxing Village will get rich, but mining in the mountains isn’t easy. Usually, mining will be kept a secret. If they really want to mine, I’m afraid they won’t alarm the people in the village. Moreover, an army will be stationed nearby!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she immediately understood.
“You’re going to report these mines to the emperor?” Luo Cheng nodded.
“That’s right. Let’s report it so there would be less trouble! ”
To be honest, Li Xiaoran was still a little curious. Could it be that her husband really didn’t have any designs on the throne?
“Husband, do you want to consider it? If you want that throne in the future, these will be your capital!” Li Xiaoran asked.
Luo Cheng laughed when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“What’s there to covet? Other people covet the throne, but I don’t. In that position, I have no choice but to do many things I don’t want to. I’m in a good state now! Xiaoran, do you want to be the empress?
Li Xiaoran quickly shook her head and said with a look of disdain, “Why would I want to be the empress? To see you have a harem of 3,000 beauties?”
With that, Li Xiaoran narrowed her eyes at Luo Cheng.
“Or do you actually want a harem of 3,000 beauties?”
“No, no, no. I don’t. Xiaoran, don’t malign me!” Luo Cheng quickly explained. His intuition told him that if he didn’t explain this clearly, he definitely wouldn’t have a good ending.
“It’s good that you don’t have such intentions. If you did, I would definitely stab you!” Li Xiaoran pretended to be fierce.
Although she was just joking, Luo Cheng still felt a chill down his spine.
Luo Cheng said, “Don’t worry! If I hand over these mines, they’ll give me some shares of the profit! I know Father’s personality. If I report it, I can more or less get some benefits. Besides, after these things are investigated, I won’t have to be afraid of investigations in the future!”
After Li Xiaoran stopped joking around, she thought of something.
“Who do you think that skinny old man is working for?”
“It’s hard to explain! Although that old man has woken up, he’s very tight-lipped and unwilling to say anything. But it doesn’t matter. I don’t need
to know who it is right now. After all, some people will give themselves away bit by bit!” Luo Cheng said.
“Do you want me to help you?!” Li Xiaoran asked.
Luo Cheng shook his head and said seriously, “No need. Limited resources have to be used where they are needed most. It’s best for you to appear as little as possible now and not attract attention. This thin old man is just a small fish. If your abilities are exposed because of him, the gains won’t make up for the losses! You’re more important to me than this fief and this government!”
“Alright! Then I won’t interfere! However, do you think it’s the second prince’s people?” Li Xiaoran thought of the most likely possibility.
Luo Cheng said, “That’s unlikely. The second prince is also in trouble now. Moreover, my second brother doesn’t have tolerance at all. What he likes to do the most is to hone his martial arts skills. He would rather spend money on training a large number of guards than rope in other capable people! As long as they have some martial arts skills, they can follow the second prince!”
When Li Xiaoran heard her husband’s words, she immediately thought of something.
Li Xiaoran reminded, “Do you remember Aunt Cui and the others we met previously? At that time, Luo Han said that a faction had been capturing children with special abilities. Could it be that this thin old man is also from that faction?”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he lowered his head and pondered over it.
“We can’t rule out this possibility! If that’s the case, I have to go back and investigate all the talents I have. Perhaps there are already people arranged by that faction among these people!”
“Let’s go back and ask Luo Han about this!” Li Xiaoran said, “Perhaps Luo Han will bring you some useful information!”
Luo Cheng nodded and stopped talking about it.
When they returned to Hele Village, it was already midnight.
Everyone was a little tired, so they washed up and went straight to bed.
The day after Liu Mingkun’s trial, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu returned to the village under the escort of Luo Cheng.
Li Xiaoqing thought that it was too late and didn’t want to disturb her parents’ sleep, so she stayed at Li Xiaoran’s place.
She had a room here anyway, so it didn’t matter where she stayed.
After returning, Luo Cheng quickly wrote the memorandum and sent it to the emperor through secret channels.
Wjem the emperor saw the secret memorandum in his hand three days later, he immediately sighed.
“Why is this kid so stubborn?! I think he doesn’t covet my throne at all, since he reported everything he found in his fief! It’s really touching yet infuriating!” The emperor said to Xiao Dezi.
Xiao Dezi laughed when he heard the emperor’s words.
“Your Majesty, you’re asking for trouble! If Luo Cheng hides these things and doesn’t report them, that’ll be worrying!”
Others didn’t dare to say this. Only Xiao Dezi dared to say this because he had accompanied the emperor since he was young.
“That’s true! Sigh, if all my sons were like Luo Cheng, I wouldn’t have to worry!” The emperor lamented.
Xiao Dezi didn’t dare to answer, so he simply didn’t speak.
The emperor began to ponder over it again.
The appearance of gold, silver, and iron ore in this mountain meant that this mountain was very important.
Speaking of which, to find so many good things at a random place, his son seemed to be quite lucky. First, it was a coal mine, and the next, it was a mineral mine.
Thinking of this, the emperor smiled slightly.
Luo Cheng was his son, so he naturally hoped that Luo Cheng would live a good
life.
It was indeed best for Luo Cheng to report this since he had no intention of ascending to the throne.
As a father, he should plan for his son.
To be honest, among his remaining sons, no matter who ascended the throne, they probably wouldn’t tolerate Luo Cheng!
This was really worrying!
His third son had a good relations.h.i.+p with Luo Cheng, but his third son was too upright. Was he really suitable for the throne?
At this moment, the emperor began to think about the future of the government.
After the emperor thought for a while, he finally asked someone to call the Third Prince over.
The father and son talked for two hours in the imperial study before the Third Prince left.
This immediately attracted the attention of the other princes..
