Chapter 380 Dark Tide
Lu Jingcheng was thinking seriously about Jiang Tangtang's problem.
If he were alone outside and encountered thousands of Western Rong soldiers, how would he escape?
He also told Jiang Tangtang the disassembly methods one by one and discussed them with Jiang Tangtang.
Jiang Tangtang was shocked by his words.
She knew that her son often acted like a little adult and was more mature than other children, but she didn't expect that he was so outstanding at such a young age.
Yes, to sum it up in one word, excellent.
Although Lu Jingcheng was quick-witted and could think of many different scenarios in a short time, he was still a child after all. He didn't know that there were many vicious things in this world that he couldn't even imagine.
Jiang Tangtang had no intention of persuading him verbally, nor did she intend to use force to arrange guards for him.
Instead, he planned to teach the two ignorant guys a good lesson.
Teach them humility.
Jiang Tangtang put this matter aside for the time being, planning to find time to discuss it with Lu Shiyan, and then talked about running a school.
When they heard that Jiang Tangtang was going to teach the class in person, the two brothers were very excited.
In fact, the two were also very interested in the books on mechanics, agronomy, mathematics, etc. in the study.
I often buy them to read, and sometimes I even discuss them with my friends or ask my teacher.
However, the books published by Jiang Tangtang contain a lot of knowledge that is beyond the understanding of people today.
Even their teacher only had a limited understanding of many things. They certainly didn't want to miss such a great opportunity. Similarly, they also wanted to follow Lu Shili on an overseas adventure.
This stumped the two of them.
Seeing the two of them in a dilemma, like children who wanted something and nothing at the same time, Jiang Tangtang smiled with evil humor.
This is like a child.

After Su Shi and Jiang Tangtang talked, she took her people back to the island. Jiang Tangtang had agreed to her request to return to Beijing to govern the area. Before leaving the island, she had to arrange the work in the island and hand it over to the next official.
In addition, she also wanted to recruit some people from Taiwan to follow her and bring advanced agriculture and animal husbandry to other places.
Develop every piece of land into a place like Lingnan or Treasure Island. Let the local people have enough food to eat, enough clothes to wear, and let the children have access to education...
The most successful businesses on Baodao are the seafood farms and pearl farms on the island.
Seafood farming is not suitable for relocation to the capital, but the pearl farming method on the island is possible.
Over the years, Haisheng has trained many young apprentices.
Even if the Su family picked some people to leave, the breeding farms in Baodao would still be staffed.
When she heard that she was going back to Beijing, Mrs. Lu was so excited that she couldn't sleep for several nights.
When the whole family was exiled, she thought the Lu family was finished. Unexpectedly, not only was the Lu family not finished, but it also soared to the sky.
Thinking about the fate of the dog emperor, Mrs. Lu let out a sigh of relief.
It’s a pity that she didn’t get to see the Dog Emperor’s death.
But now the world belongs to their Lu family, so whether they see it or not is not a big deal. She is more concerned about ascending the throne.
She didn't bother Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan, but instead asked while chatting with Su, "What do Shiyan and his wife think? When do they plan to hold the coronation ceremony?"
Su said, "What they meant was that the treasury is empty now, and people's livelihood should be prioritized. The grand ceremony can be held later."
"How foolish!" Madam Lu disagreed. "Even if the treasury is empty, we should hold the ceremony first. Otherwise, if it takes too long, chaos will arise sooner or later."
"I'll try to persuade them next time I see them." Although Su said this, she actually felt that her son and daughter-in-law's decision was not wrong.
If there really were people who were dishonest and plotting something behind the scenes, even if the two of them had already held the coronation ceremony, those people would not be honest.
Moreover, the reforms of his son and daughter-in-law have damaged the interests of the major families. I wonder how many people hate them now!
If these people keep hiding in the dark and doing bad things, it will be difficult to solve the problem.
It would be easier to catch them all in one fell swoop if we wait until they come out into the open.
Su's guess was correct, because Jiang Tangtang's forceful reforms caused dissatisfaction among many aristocratic families.
Now, this group of people has secretly contacted Xiao Jinan.
Xiao Jinan is Xiao Ye's eldest son. When Zhou Ye led his troops to capture Jiang Tangtang, he took some soldiers and escaped.
However, the troops he had were not enough to fight against Lu Shiyan.
The noble families who came to him also knew that if the two sides fought, Xiao Jinan would have no chance of winning.
So Qi Sui suggested borrowing troops from neighboring countries.
As soon as this proposal was made, some people objected. "The Western Rong and Rouran were all defeated by Lu Shiyan. Not to mention that they are too busy to take care of themselves and won't lend troops, even if they did, I'm afraid they would be helpless against the Lu family."
Qi Sui looked at Cui Yuankai with some disdain and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"
The Qi family was not only a large family in the capital, but Qi Sui also previously held a high position in the imperial court.
However, Lu Shiyan knew that he didn't have much real ability. He was able to hold a high position because Qi Sui was good at monopolizing and flattering the emperor, and Xiao Ye was incompetent. Therefore, he did not use him this time.
"I think we should incite Lu Shiyan's generals to rebel," Cui Yuankai said. "As far as I know, many of Lu Shiyan's generals are from aristocratic families, and this reform is closely related to them. We should find a way to contact them, join forces with them, overthrow Lu Shiyan, and support the eldest prince to ascend the throne."
Qi Sui sneered repeatedly, "You are such a brat! You think you can make Lu Shiyan's generals rebel? That's just wishful thinking."
