Chapter 59: Survive
Zhuo Wenjun was a little helpless.
The question she wanted to ask was relatively sensitive and she didn't want Liu Che to hear it, so she planned to ask Tang Qi privately in the future.
But Tang Qi's answer made her lose her room for maneuver.
Fortunately, Tang Qi also has some ability to observe words and emotions.
He noticed Zhuo Wenjun's taboo against Liu Che at this time, so he spoke again: "Wait a minute, I have to go see the fish pond now. You can go with me. If you have any questions, wait until we get to the fish pond. Ask them later.
!”
Zhuo Wenjun felt relieved and nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, I'll go with you, Mr. Tang!"
Tang Qi hummed, then stood up and walked towards the fish pond.
Zhuo Wenjun stood up, saluted Liu Che first, and then hurriedly followed Tang Qi.
Liu Che looked at Zhuo Wenjun's back and couldn't help but chuckle and said: "This girl from the Zhuo family is very smart. I thought that people who come from merchant families are full of copper stench!"
Wei Zifu echoed from the side: "Zhuo Ji is really smart. She can beat Mr. Tang in Go. It's really surprising!"
Liu Che narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Smartness is a good thing. I hope she won't use it in the wrong place!"
Wei Zifu looked at Liu Che in surprise and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Liu Che waved his hand and said: "It's okay, just talking casually!"
Wei Zifu pursed his lips slightly, but didn't say much.
…
On the other side, Tang Qi led Zhuo Wenjun to the front of the fish pond and then stopped.
He put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "If you have any questions, you can ask them now!"
Zhuo Wenjun was silent for a few seconds and then asked: "Mr. Tang, are you really one of the gods?"
Tang Qi was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Zhuo Wenjun, and said with a wry smile: "Is this the question you want to ask me?"
Zhuo Wenjun waved his hand quickly and said: "No, no, no, this... this is just a casual question. If Mr. Tang doesn't want to answer, you don't have to answer. What I really want to ask is..."
Tang Qi interrupted: "I don't know what your situation is, but I am an ordinary person like you, both from modern times, I just know a little more than you!"
"modern?"
Zhuo Wenjun said in confusion: "Where is that place? Is this place on the Han territory?"
Tang Qi rolled his eyes and said: "Are you kidding me? Modern times are modern times, the modern times that correspond to history! It is a point in time, not a place?"
During this period, Tang Qi was almost confused by Liu Che and others.
Finally, a relatively normal woman came along, but I didn’t expect that there was something wrong with her brain.
Tang Qidu wondered if he had done something sinister in his previous life, which was why he suffered such a crime in this life.
Zhuo Wenjun thought for a few seconds and asked again: "Mr. Tang, by modern times... do you mean the future after the Han Dynasty?"
Tang Qi slapped his hands fiercely and said: "Yes, you have said something clear. To be honest, stop pretending to be ancient people. It would be great if we all communicate normally!"
Zhuo Wenjun blinked and said, "But... we are really ancient people!"
Tang Qi almost choked and vomited blood.
This little girl must be playing with him on purpose, right?
What a ghost in ancient times!
This is a desert island drifting novel, not a time travel novel!
Tang Qi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Miss Zhuo, judging from your ability to play chess, you are also a smart person. Let me put it bluntly, there is no point in pretending to be an ancient person on this desert island!
I have been on a deserted island for three years. I have tried countless methods in the past three years, but no ships or planes have passed by. If I am not wrong, we will not be able to go back in a short time!
So you don’t have to worry about me going to the police or telling others after I know your true identity, there is no conflict of interest between us, do you understand?”
Zhuo Wenjun fell into silence again.
After a while, Zhuo Wenjun said: "I understand what you mean, but Mr. Tang, we do come from the Han Dynasty, from the history in your mouth!"
Tang Qi was completely helpless.
"Okay, you come from history, you are great, I give up!"
Tang Qi raised his hands and surrendered, deciding to accept this bloody setting.
Zhuo Wenjun smiled slightly and said: "Since Mr. Tang temporarily believes that we are from the Han Dynasty, I have to ask my question!"
Tang Qi spread his hands and said: "You ask, I will try my best to answer. If you really can't answer, then you can change the question!"
Playing rogue is also one of Tang Qi's skills.
Zhuo Wenjun was not angry and said leisurely: "Since Mr. Tang is familiar with history, he must know about the 'Salt and Iron Order' promulgated by His Majesty. I would like to ask Mr. Tang how our Zhuo family can protect itself under the 'Salt and Iron Order'"
!”
Ever since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty promulgated the "Salt and Iron Order", the Zhuo family has been in a state of great anxiety.
In a merchant's home, not many fools can imagine the disaster that the "Salt and Iron Order" will bring to the Zhuo family.
But the Zhuo family thought a lot and couldn't come up with a good way to deal with it.
Now that it was rare to meet an immortal, Zhuo Wenjun naturally thought of asking the immortal for advice.
Tang Qi curled his lips and said: "You really know how to ask. Fortunately, I have studied this question before, otherwise I would have been stopped by you!"
When Tang Qi was in college, in order to pursue a girl from the history department, he studied a lot of historical knowledge, including the "Salt and Iron Order".
At that time, the girl failed to catch up, so Tang Qi thought that his efforts were in vain.
I never thought that this knowledge would come in handy now.
Zhuo Wenjun said in surprise: "Great, sir, how should we deal with this 'Salt and Iron Order'?"
Tang Qi touched his chin and said, "Have you ever thought about the reason why the Salt and Iron Order appeared?"
Zhuo Wenjun is also a smart person. She thought for a moment and then replied: "Is it because His Majesty has been waging wars all year round, which has left the treasury empty, so he wants to find a way to make money?"
Tang Qi snapped his fingers and said: "That's right. Since the emperor is here to make money, then your Zhuo family only needs to give the emperor enough money!"
Zhuo Wenjun was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Tang, do you mean to ask our Zhuo family to donate all the property to His Majesty? In this case, our Zhuo family will still be ruined!"
"of course not!"
Tang Qi said thoughtfully: "Think about it, is a golden deer more precious, or a deer that spits out gold?"
Zhuo Wenjun immediately said: "Of course a deer that spits out gold is more precious!"
