Chapter 629: How to Deal with It?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was shocked.
This kind of family inheritance had sentimental attachments.
Cooking skills were something that could only be improved through more exchanges.
This kind of family inheritance faction wasn’t bad, but there was no need to be so inflexible!
For the Fu family to kill another faction of the same family was a little too much.
“In the past, because Mr. Fu was around, they thought of it as the Fu family’s inheritance. Now, Mr. Fu has no children and his disciples all have different surnames, so the other faction of the Fu family wants to kill them and completely eliminate this faction?” Li Xiaoran asked.
“That’s right. The family inheritance faction has always regarded the folk inheritance faction as the Fu family’s shame and had wanted to resolve this matter since a long time ago. The reason they didn’t succeed previously was that the folk inheritance faction had several disciples with good culinary skills and many powerful connections, so the Fu family didn’t have the ability to do anything to them even if they wanted to!”
Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked, “Are things different now?”
Luo Cheng explained, “That’s right! From Mr. Fu’s generation onwards, the folk inheritance faction began to decline. Mr. Fu’s senior brother even offended a very influential figure in the government and was suppressed by many factions. If not for Mr. Fu’s connections, he probably wouldn’t have lasted until now. However, Mr. Fu hasn’t been in good health recently. I’m afraid after he passes away, Mr. Fu’s folk inheritance faction will be destroyed!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately thought of something.
“In that case, Mr. Fu has the intention to let his disciples follow us?”
Luo Cheng replied as he ate the dishes, “Pretty much!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she pondered over it carefully.
Zhou Peng’s fish grilling skills were actually very good, but unfortunately, he had ill intentions.
She wondered how good Mr. Fu’s other disciples’ culinary skills were.
She wanted to help!
After all, talent was rare!
But would helping these people cause trouble for her husband?
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng.
“Husband, if Mr. Fu really has that intention, what do you plan to do?”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately laughed.
“Why? Do you want to use them?”
Li Xiaoran said, “If possible, I’m willing to help! However, I have to see how much trouble this matter will cause you, husband!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he felt touched.
“If you think they’re useful, we might as well take them in! Although it will affect you a little, it won’t affect you that much. The person Mr. Fu offended is a big problem for others, but for me, it’s just a small problem! However, in the end, I’ll have to trouble you to think of some delicious food to make that person happy. Then, this matter will be resolved! As for the Fu family, they won’t dare to go against me!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she said confidently, “It’s easy to make delicious food! I’m best at this!”
“That’s why I said that this matter is a small matter to us!” With that, Luo Cheng laughed.
Then, Luo Cheng started talking about the coal mine.
“Xiaoran, you have many ideas, so help me come up with ideas! How should we deal with this coal mine?”
After Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she thought about it carefully.
“Husband, according to the law, who does this coal mine belong to? Does it belong to you or the imperial court?”
Luo Cheng thought about Li Xiaoran’s words carefully.
There were no laws regarding fiefs. There were only conventions.
Whoever set up the fief would get the output.
After Li Xiaoran learned of this situation, she pondered for a moment and said, “Husband, let’s report this to the Old Master! Let’s see how the Old Master want to deal with it! No matter what, we can’t get the coal mine, but the taxes have to be given to us! Besides, after we report it, we might get more benefits!” With that, Li Xiaoran carefully explained the reason to Luo Cheng.
After reporting it, it would be impossible for others to use this matter to make a fuss in the future.
After all, Luo Cheng and the others had discovered the coal mine. Originally, there was no need to report it, but they had reported it to the imperial court.
Secondly, after the emperor received this news, he would definitely take this matter seriously. At that time, it was very likely that the Ministry of Labor would send people to mine the coal mine. After the emperor did this, he would definitely feel a little guilty towards his son, Luo Cheng. Perhaps he would give Luo Cheng some profits from the mining of the coal mine. Even if it was only ten or twenty percent, it was free money. It would be a waste not to take it!
Even if the emperor didn’t let Luo Cheng have the profits, he would definitely find other ways to compensate Luo Cheng by sending people to mine the coal mine.
After all, this coal mine was on Luo Cheng’s land.
As a father, it was a little unreasonable for the emperor to take his son’s things for nothing.
At that time, Luo Cheng and the others would also benefit.
Therefore, although they seemed to have lost a lot of profit after reporting it to the imperial court, they secretly obtained more.
Also, even if the Ministry of Labor sent someone over to take over the coal mine, wouldn’t they still have to deal with Luo Cheng?
When the time came, that person might even be his source of news.
They would be able to obtain more benefits if they reported the coal mine to the imperial court.
After hearing Li Xiaoran’s analysis, Luo Cheng immediately nodded.
“You’re so smart and thoughtful! No wonder people say that if one marries a smart wife, one will be blessed for three generations. I’m indeed lucky to have married a good wife!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh.
“Is that so? Aren’t you afraid that your wife will be too powerful and you won’t be able to control me in the future?”
Luo Cheng laughed.
“How can that be? You treat me very well. You’re also smart, virtuous, and beautiful. I can’t even find such a good wife elsewhere. Why would I be afraid?”
“Why are you such a sweet talker?” Li Xiaoran rolled her eyes when she heard Luo Cheng praise her.
When Luo Cheng heard this, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. When Li Xiaoran wasn’t paying attention, he pulled her over and kissed her.
“Li Xiaoran, try it. Is my mouth sweet?!”
Li Xiaoran was a little stunned at this moment. When she came back to her senses and saw the sly look in her husband’s eyes, she smiled.
Li Xiaoran pulled Luo Cheng over and kissed him.
“Yep, it’s very sweet!”
