After three days of investigation, Chen Qianli roughly figured out what Qin Jin had done in the "River Worker Camp", and the methods were very ordinary, nothing more than a response to the call for righteousness, supplemented by inducements, but it was this seemingly simple method that could make the most difficult to manage fugitives obey their words, which was really shocking and embarrassing.

In addition, Chen Qianli also found that although he was responsible for commanding and promoting, he was completely unable to make the battalions listen to orders, even if any order that had nothing to do with the established river workers, could not be conveyed through the first floor of the scribe. It is no wonder that the Shenwu military academy captain was on pins and needles in this position of promotion and command, and he made trouble for a long time, and the biggest role that this position of central command can play is to upload and distribute.

Although Chen Qianli was responsible for the errand of commanding and promoting, he did not serve on the left and right of the river canal envoy, so he could only obey any orders of the river canal envoy. In other words, all the planning of the river camp is carried out in the river canal.

However, the river envoy who was in the river engineering camp never showed up in Feng Yi, and all the orders were conveyed through the county guard's mansion, that is to say, it is very likely that the county guard's mansion was the master of the river canal envoy.

This discovery made Chen Qianli feel incredible, no matter how great Qin Jin's ability is, after all, he is just a county guard, and he can't let Jing Zhaoyin, who is also the envoy of the river canal, bow his head, right?

It wasn't until Chen Qianli noticed that the envoy of the river canal was signed and surnamed Wei Mingji, and he felt that this person was friendly with Qin Jin, and maybe there was some kind of deal between them.

Wei Jiqi Chen Qianli has seen it, on the surface he is amiable and rarely assertive, but he is a very proud person in his bones, and he will never be like Du Fu who can live in Qin Jin's left and right in exchange for three meals a day. What's more, Jing Zhaoyin's selection has always come from the prime minister's disciples, even if Qin Jin has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, it is impossible to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, right?

First of all, Yang Guozhong can't pass that pass. If Yang Guozhong was made aware of the private activities of Jingzhao Yin Weiji and Qin Jin, I don't know what he would do? Chen Qianli had no doubt that with Yang's personality, he would not hesitate to oppose it or even build obstacles, no matter how beneficial the dredging of the Zhengbai Canal was to the imperial court.

However, Chen Qianli was about to feel that his worries were a little unfounded, he vaguely expressed his worries to Qin Jin several times, but the replies he got were all the same, don't worry too much!

Don't worry too much about it, there are too many meanings hidden in it, although Chen Qianli has been prepared, he is still a little lost, he doesn't care about Qin Jin's decision-making core, and he doesn't have the right to know many things. But then, Chen Qianli exonerated himself again, and it was normal for Qin Jin to treat him like this. If he and Qin Jin change places, someone will attack behind his back three times and twice, and he is afraid that he will kill the second person and warn him. Qin Jin was able to let him participate in the matter of the river tool body to a limited extent, which was already a rare kindness.

In this way, Chen Qianli felt both frustrated and a little relieved. After all, Qin Jin still remembered the love between them, and did not kill them all. This is a lucky thing for him, and for the Shenwu Army, it may be a different matter.

The more he thought about it, the more Chen Qianli felt that there were thousands of ants crawling through his chest, scratching his heart with a hundred claws, and his heart was anxious. There is no second person to talk to about this kind of contradiction and torment.

Soon, in order to relieve his depression, Chen Qianli shifted all his attention to the river engineering camp.

He found that Qin Jin's method similar to the three-plate axe seemed simple, but it was the result of speculating through people's hearts.

First, he complained bitterly about Hu Gou's cruel murder with blood and tears, which aroused the hatred of the fugitives in Shandong. He also selected suitable candidates among the fugitives from Shandong, set an example of morality, vigorously publicized them in the river work camp, and gave them all kinds of preferential treatment, so as to make people envious.

By doing these two steps, the emotions of the fugitives in the river camp have been mobilized. What Qin Jin did next was the most critical step, setting a hierarchical reward threshold, promising generous fame and fortune, and as long as some of the people reached the standard, they would be rewarded unreservedly in accordance with the publicized generous standards and in the name of supreme morality.

With someone to fan the flames from the side, Qin Jin's goal can be easily achieved.

After consciously getting a glimpse of Qin Jin's method of taming the river workers and fleeing the people, Chen Qianli was extremely excited, if he used this method to train an army that was ideologically absolutely obedient, its power was unimaginable. Everyone is not afraid of death, and following the general's military orders is like serving the gods and Buddhas, so pious that even the iron and stone can melt.

He recorded the elements that he had discovered and summarized over the past few days, so that he could use them as a blueprint for experiments when he had the right opportunity in the future.

After gaining an in-depth understanding of Qin Jin's methods, Chen Qianli still had a lot of doubts, such as those typical characters and examples that he found out, all of which can be described as tall and perfect moral models, is there really such a person in the world? He was born as a county court official, and he has seen a lot of folk deeds, and he knows the thoughts of the people well, so he will not easily believe that there is really such a perfect model in the world.

In order to find out, Chen Qianli personally met with one of the most typical models in the "River Worker Camp".

This person is from a typical good family, not a wealthy family, and has nothing to do with profiteers and witch doctors, and the appropriate background is simply impeccable. When the rebels arrived, he resolutely sacrificed his wife and children in order to save the lives of the villagers in Quanli. exchanged the flesh and blood of his loved ones for the safety of hundreds of people.

This spirit, in Buddhism, can be called cutting meat to feed eagles. But Qin Jin found another way, calling it sacrificing the small self to fulfill the big self. In fact, everything is inseparable from it, and in the final analysis, it is still based on righteousness. However, this statement is akin to a deceptive integration of self-interest into the general righteousness.

In other words, after using these three axes to make the river workers fall into a herd mentality, these people have lost the most basic analytical ability, and only blindly pursue the moral high ground in exchange for fame and fortune in reality.

It can also be said that even if these people understand that all the claims are false, why should they care if they are profitable?

Suddenly, Chen Qianli's intuition was like being struck by lightning, and he realized that he had finally figured out the essence of the whole thing. To put it bluntly, Qin Jin did not lead people to goodness, but stimulated the evil in people's hearts in the name of morality.

If Chen Qianli had discovered this method a year ago, he would definitely regard it as a fallacy. But after experiencing all kinds of hardships and failures, he knows that to achieve great things or adhere to the principle of loyalty to the monarch and serve the country, there must be a trade-off, whether to be a gentleman, or to be a villain or a villain, he will consciously choose the latter without hesitation.

After asking a few questions, Chen Qianli found that this model of moral perfection that had been set up seemed to be mechanically reciting a pre-prepared rhetoric. Realizing this, he didn't poke it out, and only comforted the person before withdrawing him.

He believed that the so-called moral perfection was not necessarily a real thing, but was just the product of careful planning. In order to confirm his thoughts, Chen Qianli specially met with the scribes sent by the county court of Fengyi County in the "River Worker Camp".

"Chen is quite interested in many allusions in the camp, I wonder what Mr. thinks is true or false?"

Chen Qianli did not hide his suspicions, and suddenly asked, which made the scribe who was surprised and apprehensive when he was summoned stunned.

They had been strictly ordered that the stories they edited by them were never allowed to reveal the secret of heaven to anyone, otherwise they would be severely punished by military law. Although Chen Qianli has the errand of commanding and promoting the river engineering battalion, his status is definitely not low, but the scribe does not know his origin, how dare he easily answer the call?

What's more, Chen Qianli's sentence has already caused him an unbearable pressure.

"In front of Chen Jun, he will never dare to call him Mr. when he goes down! What Jun Zhi said, he doesn't understand much when he goes down. ”

Chen Qianli laughed, no need to continue to ask, the scribe's expression had already told him all the answers, it seemed that the previous conjecture was really good, everything was just a well-planned scam. In this way, Chen Qianli is even more sure that this method of taming fugitives like taming livestock can be replicated.

Chen Qianli even assumed that if he was given 30,000 prisoners and concocted in the same way, would he be able to turn decay into magic?

In less than half a month's effort, the "river engineering battalion" fully carried forward the spirit of hardship and hard work, and even completed the dredging task assigned by the river canal envoy ahead of schedule under the condition that there was not enough food and clothing. For this reason, the county warden's office issued an order to hold a celebration ceremony to boost morale and strive to create another miracle in the second half of the month!

The whole "river work camp" was in an indescribable euphoria, and the things of cheering, rejoicing, and agitating to the point of tears often rose in droves, and in an instant they could be contagious. Even if Chen Qianli was mentally prepared for this, he was still shocked.

Qin Jin, the county magistrate, personally presided over the celebration ceremony, and after the ceremony, he put forward some new slogans, which made everyone excited and worshipped.

It's nothing more than easy-to-understand vulgar language such as "not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness...... but those river workers are very fond of this, shouting hard one by one, their necks and faces are red because of excessive force.

After that, the "river engineering battalion" replenished about 30,000 people, and once again devoted itself to the vigorous dredging of the canal.

Due to the sudden increase in the number of river workers, the grain allocated by the county guard was also stretched. Chen Qianli was afraid that a sudden shortage of food would cause a catastrophe, but the result was much more than expected.

The river workers spontaneously advocated saving food, and in order to create another miracle, they carried forward the fearless spirit of courage and sacrifice, even if the food per person was reduced by one-third, they still worked hard, not only did not delay the construction period, but were still earlier than before.
