Chapter 222 I'll Go With You
It took Jiang Tangtang a while to realize that she was staring at someone in a daze.
But it was just to look at the handsome guy, there was nothing to be embarrassed about. She quickly adjusted herself and asked, "Why are you here? Are you short of money to build the city wall again?"
The smile on Lu Shiyan's face froze.
He reflected on himself again and realized that he had done too badly in the past, which led to his wife's first reaction when she saw him being to ask her for money.
"Don't worry about the money. I've found some ways to raise it. It's enough for now."
Jiang Tangtang looked at him doubtfully. What other ways of making money could there be that she didn't know?
But since he said so, Jiang Tangtang didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she asked him if he was hungry and if he wanted to eat.
"Are you hungry? I'll cook for you." Lu Shiyan immediately found an opportunity to express himself.
Jiang Tangtang had no hope for his cooking skills, but he suddenly seemed to have come to his senses. She didn't want to undermine his self-confidence, so she nodded and said, "We have..."
She suddenly got stuck.
Except for occasionally entering the space to make some snacks, she hasn't been to the kitchen for a long time.
She didn't even know what dishes were in the kitchen.
Lu Shiyan smiled at her, raised his hand and touched her head, with a doting tone that he himself didn't even notice, "I'll go to the kitchen first."
Jiang Tangtang also followed him to the kitchen.
Because Jiang Tangtang had distributed a lot of modern vegetable and fruit seeds to farmers, the dishes delivered to the kitchen were quite rich. In addition to some common vegetables, there were also peanuts and chestnuts.
When Jiang Tangtang saw the chestnuts, she immediately thought of sugar-roasted chestnuts. She unconsciously licked her lips.
Lu Shiyan followed Jiang Tangtang's gaze and his eyes fell on the pile of chestnuts.
The chestnuts were probably just picked from the tree and delivered here, with the thorny shells on the outside of the chestnuts still not removed, and they were just piled on the floor in the kitchen.
"Want to eat this?" Lu Shiyan picked up a chestnut full of thorns and said.
Looking at the shell full of thorns, Jiang Tangtang shook his head and said, "Forget it, this is too troublesome. I'll eat something else!"
Lu Shiyan pulled her to a chair nearby and said, "Wait here. I'll call you when I'm done."
After saying that, he returned to the pile of chestnuts.
The chestnut shell was covered with thorns, but in his hands, he could easily peel open the thorny shell and reveal the chestnut inside.
Jiang Tangtang sat on a chair and watched him peel chestnuts. She casually mentioned her recent plans, "I want to go to the capital in a few days."
This was a decision she made after careful consideration. Firstly, it was because of the original owner's father, and secondly, there were many wealthy families in the capital, and she wanted to rob the rich and help the poor.
Lu Shiyan didn't seem surprised. He looked up at Jiang Tangtang and said calmly, "I'll go with you."
Jiang Tangtang opened her lips slightly, a little overwhelmed, "You went with him, what about Lingnan?"
The general didn't defend the city, but instead followed her secretly to the capital. This is too crazy.
Lu Shiyan said: "I will make arrangements for Lingnan, don't worry."
Jiang Tangtang blinked, "What are you going to do in the capital?"
If he also went to the capital, could they cooperate perfectly like last time?
Wouldn’t that be a perfect solution to Lingnan’s financial shortage problem instantly?
Jiang Tangtang hurriedly suppressed the excitement in her heart and secretly warned herself that this was an unhealthy thought and she should be cautious.
Lu Shiyan said, "I want to visit someone in the capital."
Jiang Tangtang was puzzled. "Who is so important? Why do you have to make this trip in person?"
You must know that the imperial court is not dealing with them now simply because it is busy waging wars everywhere and is unable to take care of itself.
In the eyes of the imperial court, Lingnan was a remote, barren and uninhabited land, and therefore it was used to release prisoners.
The imperial court was unable to spare any troops, so it simply ignored Lingnan.
But she and Lu Shiyan had walked into a trap by going to the capital. If the two of them were discovered by the Emperor of the Great Zhou, he would definitely catch them and skin them alive.
She completely relied on the space she had. As long as she hid in the space, even if there were thousands of troops, they would not be able to do anything to her, so she was not worried about being captured by the Emperor of the Great Zhou.
But what about him?
Why go?
"Cao Lesheng, the master of weapons." This man originally worked in the imperial arsenal. Later, he had an accident while developing weapons and lost one of his hands. After he was dismissed from the arsenal, he fell into obscurity.
In Lu Shiyan's opinion, although his hands were disabled, his brain was still there. With his participation, the development of weapons would definitely be more efficient.
However, he had previously sent many people to invite him, wanting him to come to Lingnan to help research weapons.
He remained unmoved and spent his days in the capital drinking and leading a life of drunkenness and dreams.
Of course, this was only a small part of the reason. The main reason was that he was worried about Jiang Tangtang, so he decided to go to the capital at this time.
But there's no need to let her know the reason.
Although Jiang Tangtang was exiled to Lingnan after traveling through time, he had heard of the name of the weapon master.
When Jiang Tangtang heard that they were going to invite this expert to come back to develop weapons, she immediately understood why Lu Shiyan had to go there in person.
With the influx of refugees in Lingnan, the widespread availability of the iron plow designed by Jiang Tangtang, and the availability of cattle raised on spatial spiritual herbs, rented free to the people for farming, Lingnan had no shortage of people in agriculture.
As for business, with Jiang Tangtang, who has seen various business models in modern times, and the influx of many aristocratic families, Lingnan's business has also developed well.
The only thing missing is technical talent.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tangtang couldn't help but think that this time when he went out, he might as well bring back a few more talents.
While Jiang Tangtang was secretly pondering, Lu Shiyan had already peeled the chestnuts quickly.
Jiang Tangtang put his thoughts aside and decided to roast the chestnuts and make some sugar-roasted chestnuts.
But Lu Shiyan held her hand, not letting her move. "Tell me what to do, and I'll do it."
Jiang Tangtang couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong with you?"
It was his first time showing his affection, so Lu Shiyan felt a little embarrassed, but he still insisted, "We agreed to make it for you."
Jiang Tangtang raised her hand and gestured on the chestnut, saying, "Then use a knife to make a small cross-shaped cut on it."
Such a small matter is naturally very simple for Lu Shiyan.
Watching him cut openings of the same size on each chestnut, Jiang Tangtang felt it was a visual feast.
It is such a pleasure to watch the handsome guy in ancient costume roll up his sleeves and make soup.
Although the sugar-roasted chestnuts were made using the simplest method, Jiang Tangtang felt that the chestnuts today were particularly sweet.
After eating the chestnuts, Lu Shiyan asked her, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Jiang Tangtang rubbed her stomach and said, "I was just thinking of going to the countryside to see how the canals and roads are doing."
Although she has established many laws and measures to prevent corruption among her subordinates, she still has to go on patrol before she feels at ease.
Lu Shiyan's expression froze again. He originally wanted to take a walk with his wife, but he didn't expect that it would turn into an official inspection trip to the countryside in front of his wife.
Jiang Tangtang didn't pay any attention to Lu Shiyan's expression. She was thinking about what to do in the next few days.
