Luo Cheng had really found a suitable place.

After walking southwest of Hele Village for about 15 minutes, they could see a large piece of gravel.

The reason this gravel field was abandoned was because it was filled with stones.

The stones were not big, but they were all gravel and weren’t easy to clean up.

There was only a shallow layer of soil, so it was impossible to plant crops.

On the other hand, the weeds were very lush and protected the soil of this stone field.

Speaking of which, this wasteland was very large, and there was a stream flowing through it.

It was also very convenient to build a workshop here and there was no shortage of stones, since they were surrounded by stones.

The only bad thing was that there were also many stones underground, so it was a little troublesome to build things.

However, this place was indeed the most suitable place to build a workshop.

Li Xiaoran said, “Instead of looking at the map, why don’t we take a look ourselves?! It’s only a fifteen-minute walk!”

Luo Cheng nodded and said, “Let’s go take a look early tomorrow morning! Anyway, it will take a lot of time to clean the ducks, so let’s go take a look and come back. The time is just right!”

Li Xiaoran nodded in agreement. Then, the matter was settled.

The next day, the weather was sunny but cool.

Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng brought Shu Ruyue and Wu Qinghe to that place filled with stones.

When they breathed in fresh air on the country road in the morning and saw the greenery, their mood improved.

After landing on the ground, the four of them could really see everything!

Shu Ruyue said, “This place is really big and flat! However, when I squatted down to take a look just now, I saw that there were indeed a lot of gravel. It’s probably very difficult to clear them out. I feel uncomfortable walking on them with my shoes on!”

Li Xiaoran walked towards the stream and took a closer look.

This stream was neither big nor small.

It flowed out of the cracks in the stones and into the pit on the other side.

Coincidentally, it was in this gravel field.

Without speaking, Luo Cheng took out the stone hammer and chisel he had brought.

First, Luo Cheng dug out the gravel on the surface. Then, he dug hard at the stones.

It had to be said that the stones underground were really thick. Luo Cheng used his internal energy to dig them, but even after digging very deep into the stone, the big rock was still intact.

Luo Cheng said in satisfaction, “I think we can use this place to build a workshop, but it will take all our effort! However, as long as we build it well, it will be very sturdy. As for these gravel, there’s no need to dig them out. When the time comes, we can transport some soil over from elsewhere and crush it. It’s just that it’s a little difficult to plant things here. Fortunately, we’re building a workshop, so we don’t have to worry about this!”

Wu Qinghe ran to this piece of land and looked around. In the end, he ran over excitedly.

“Brother Luo Cheng, buy this place! Although this place is filled with gravel, it’s actually a very good place. If we use it to build a workshop, business will definitely boom. To be honest, Brother Luo Cheng, you’re really lucky to choose such a good place!”

When the others heard Wu Qinghe’s words, they immediately laughed.

“Since this piece of land is so good, let’s buy it!” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “It’s just a piece of gravel, so I don’t think the price will be high!”

Luo Cheng was also more inclined to buy land than rent it.

After all, he was going to build a workshop here. Where else could he find such a good place to build a new workshop?

Besides, Wu Qinghe had already said that this place was a treasure land, so it was worth it.

After confirming this, Luo Cheng quickly brought everyone back. As soon as Li Xiaoran returned, she realized that 15 ducks had already been cleaned.

Without another word, Li Xiaoran washed her hands and began to get busy.

Luo Cheng didn’t stay idle. He immediately called Luo Ziyang over. After giving him some instructions, Luo Ziyang drove the carriage straight to town.

When they arrived in town, Luo Ziyang went straight to the government office.

Two hours later, they had the title deed for the bottom of the gravel.

Of course, Luo Ziyang also spent money.

Such a big piece of land only cost a thousand taels of silver. It was quite cheap.

After Luo Ziyang left, someone else entered the government office.

After asking around, other than knowing that Luo Ziyang had bought a piece of land, they didn’t find out anything else.

If Luo Ziyang was still around, he would definitely recognize that this person was a person in the portraits left behind by Qiao Dazhi.

Just as Luo Ziyang was driving away from town, he suddenly saw a fancy carriage coming from the entrance of the town.

Generally speaking, people who rode such carriages were either rich or noble.

However, those who didn’t know their stuff would only think that this carriage was an ordinary carriage.

However, it was actually very extraordinary.

Luo Ziyang had been following Luo Cheng, so he was very discerning and he recognized that this carriage was extraordinary.

Coincidentally, just as Luo Cheng looked over, the curtain on the carriage was lifted, revealing a woman’s face.

When he reached home, Luo Ziyang quickly drank a few mouthfuls of water and pulled Luo Cheng, who was helping deal with the ducks, aside.

“Brother, the third prince’s consort is here!”

Luo Cheng looked at Luo Ziyang and asked,

“Are you sure?”

Luo Ziyang said worriedly, “Definitely. Although the Third Prince’s consort disguised her appearance, I recognized her at a glance! Brother, why is Third Prince’s consort here at this time? I’m afraid the Third Prince’s consort has ill intentions!”

“She probably came here for two reasons! One is to see my third brother’s situation, and the other is to ask about the mine. My third sister-in-law usually doesn’t leave the capital. Unexpectedly, she disguised herself and secretly came here today!” Luo Cheng sneered and said, “Tell our buddies to keep an eye on her! I want to see what tricks she’s up to!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard outside rushed in.

“Mr. Luo, Consort, Miss Duan claims to be from the capital and wants to see you!”

When Li Xiaoran heard the guard’s words, she was stunned..
