Volume 1: The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 26: How to Gain Trust (Part I)

Seeing that the old woman had already brought someone over, Jiang Yugang also beckoned the personnel of the Intelligence Department who were resting in various rooms, cheering up and pretending to be a businessman.

In order to facilitate the transaction, he had all the goods brought to the house where he was, and baskets of bamboo baskets were arranged in a row along the wall. And the variety of food in this row of bamboo baskets really gave a lot of impact to the villagers who came in.

Compared with some pheasants and other things provided by An Bai in the previous transaction, the dry food and dried meat piled up in the bamboo basket are full of impact, and some people don't look like characters to be messed with if they don't look at Jiang Yugang and a few people, I'm afraid they haven't already moved to grab it.

"Grandma, this is all the food we brought, please also take out the spices and old iron tools we brought, here is still up to An Bai and this little brother," Jiang Yu pointed at Ah Tian: "Responsible for the specific transaction." ”

"Okay," the old woman looked at the grain in the bamboo basket, smiled and nodded, and then couldn't help but look Jiang Yugang up and down, his height of one meter and eight can only be said to be not short in modern times, but in the Luchuan mountains and forests of the Ming Dynasty, it is a very rare tall person, coupled with a strong figure, the whole person looks quite majestic.

The old woman saw this person's speech and demeanor in the group several times, and even Ah Bai, who she was most familiar with before, didn't talk much in front of him, thinking that this person's identity was not ordinary, so she asked An Bai: "Ah Bai, who are you?" ”

An Bai is also clever, hearing the old woman ask, he quickly glanced at Jiang Yugang, Jiang Yugang gave a serious gaze, An Bai nodded slightly, and introduced to the old woman: "This is the eldest brother among our merchants, even if it is our leader." ”

"No wonder she is so imposing," the old woman heard An Bai say this, and her respect for Jiang Yuyan was a little more, in her eyes, An Bai was already a capable person who crisscrossed the mountains and forests, and was not afraid of beasts and strongmen, and the leader of this kind of capable man was even more powerful and extraordinary, and praised: "I want to have your eldest brother on his side, and no one dares to bully you." ”

Ah Tian listened on the sidelines, trying to hold back his laughter. Jiang Yugang in her mind is far stronger in wisdom than force, compared with Li Xiaoqi and other real reckless men, Jiang Yugang is more like a scholar, in the mouth of this old woman, Jiang Yugang is more like a thug because he is strong and strong.

Jiang Yugang shook his head helplessly, on the one hand, he was too lazy to personally inquire about the actual transaction, and on the other hand, he didn't have much concept of the exchange price of spices and metals for grain here.

In fact, other people must have some concepts, but they did not come this time to make profits from the transaction, but only through superficial transactions, in fact, to distribute food to the villagers of Nansang Village, so that the villagers have a good impression of their group, so as to gain their trust.

Therefore, how much to exchange for these grains is secondary, mainly in the exchange between each other, no matter how much the villagers can give, their own food must be given to the villagers as much as possible.

Jiang Yuran sat on a bamboo chair in the corner of the room, watching An Bai and Ah Tian make deals with the villagers, while other members of the intelligence department helped on the side. He has observed the appearance of these people these days, and he is quite satisfied, although these people have not received much education, but all of them are clever, steady, and can be created.

He looked away from the members of the Intelligence Department again, and began to observe the villagers who had come in to buy food, these people were the ultimate target of their group, and all the actions were just a form of deepening communication with them.

After looking back and forth at the villagers, who were not healthy and looked to be suffering from hunger, he noticed a noteworthy point: there was a small little girl, who looked no more than five or six years old, and who also carried a small bamboo basket on her back and followed the example of an adult to buy food from them.

This is a bit interesting, according to the current situation, the Luchuan army requisitioned grain in the cottage uncontrollably, so that the villagers had to hide the grain in various ways, and buying grain from Jiang Yu was also a secret act.

But there was a little girl who also came to buy food, or such a young child, Jiang Yu didn't believe that such a young child would have no elders in the family, and what kind of situation was this elder in, so that such a young child could buy food, if the child was careless, the matter of buying food was exposed, isn't this equivalent to a bamboo basket for water?

So he couldn't help but step forward and ask the old woman who was standing on the side, looking at the villagers and neighbors who had bought food with a satisfied look: "Grandma, why is there such a young child who came to buy food?" Aren't you afraid that the children will accidentally expose the food here? ”

When the old woman heard Jiang Yu's question, she also sighed slowly: "This is also something that can't be helped, this child's father has a fever and can't get out of bed, and now it's all up to Xi'er to take care of him." ”

"Fever?" Jiang Yuyan only felt that suddenly, as if the affairs of the village were a mess, he began to slowly become organized, and his brain began to spin rapidly - ancient villages were naturally xenophobic, even if they provided the most important food, but to put it bluntly, they should leave after selling the food, and it was difficult to really enter the villagers.

However, the identity of doctors is different, if it is for the purpose of curing diseases, they are bound to go deeper into the villagers, and the distance with the villagers is by no means the current estranged transaction, but has a more sincere communication.

Throughout history, countless religions, such as the Yellow Turban Army of Zhang Jiao and the power of Jesus in the Bible, have been constantly gaining the true trust and recognition of the public through the way of healing and saving people.

The reason why he let Chen Ziyu sit in the position of prime minister of the Ministry of Intelligence, in addition to the fact that he has the best education and reads the most, is that this person has studied medical skills with the doctors of the guard center since he was a child, which makes him naturally have authority over the ancient public who do not understand natural science.

Jiang Yugang was still thinking about how to stay in this village for a little longer, constantly thinking about it to find excuses, and now the opportunity is indeed about to be sent to the face - to stay in the village for the reason of curing the sick and saving people, this is the most reasonable and the most traceless way, and at the same time, it can further deepen the relationship with the villagers, if the villagers' illnesses can be cured, the mutual trust will go to a higher level.

The villagers in Nansang Village are not wary of merchants, and Jiang Yu, for the sake of the rationality of his identity as a businessman, cannot directly send grain to win the favor of the villagers, so he can only choose the way of trading. In this way, the villagers did not have much gratitude for Jiang Yugang, thinking that the food was still exchanged for their own spices and iron tools.

Judging from Jiang Yugang's observations for a while, the villagers are not so much grateful to them as the so-called "merchants", but more grateful to the old woman who called them to buy grain.
