Chapter 0095: Buying People's Hearts

There is a text in the primary school that contains a sentence that 'the roe deer is beaten and the fish are scooped, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot', which describes the abundance of wildlife in the Sanjiang Plain. Although the city of Ekhkuren is not a plain of the three rivers, it is also full of wild game and mountain goods all over the mountains. The Jurchens, who make a living from fishing and hunting, are natural fishing experts, but they are ...... compared to Zhou Qingfeng.

A burst 'lightning strike' went down, and fat fish continued to float on the surface of the water with a diameter of tens of meters. Zhou Qingfeng shouted, although few people understood his words, but the meaning of his words was expressed from a hurried tone - hurry up and catch fish for Lao Tzu!

Zhou Qingfeng lacked enough management cadres but manipulated slaves, so he simply found them a job that did not require cadre management. The two hundred or so new slaves were already in disarray, but they were working together in the matter of fishing—the water splashed on the river, and one fish after another was thrown ashore by the slaves in charge of fishing.

The slaves who worked on the shore also rushed to see the strangeness, and even lost their discipline. They had never seen such an easy way to catch fish as they did today - a thunderbolt went down and the fish came to the door on its own. It's amazing!

When all the fish were caught, all the slaves giggled and laughed. The slaves who went into the water to fish were especially excited, and in just a few minutes they threw nearly a hundred large and small fish ashore. In the past, at least the same people had to carry a net for most of the day.

"Alright, alright." Zhou Qingfeng's 'electric horn' sounded again, "Those who should work will go to work, those who fish will go ashore first, and I will rest first, master." Sun Ren, you pick a group of people from the new slaves to come out and grill fish. Today, everyone on the site can have fish to eat. ”

The slaves originally looked at the fish with greed, but when they heard that Zhou Qingfeng was willing to share these fish with them, they were really happy. There was a firewood fire in the lumberyard, and the smell of grilled fish quickly diffused everywhere. The slaves had always been hungry, and when they smelled the fragrance and thought that they could eat it themselves, they were all absent-minded and waited to eat the fish.

"You want to eat fish, don't you?" Zhou Qingfeng stood on the mound of earth and shouted with an 'electric horn', "Who was the most literate yesterday?" ”

Zhou Qingfeng looked at Sun Ren. Because this female slave was relatively more literate, she occasionally replaced Zhou Qingfeng to teach other new Han slaves to learn Chinese characters. Sun Ren quickly pulled a young barefoot child from among the slaves. When the slave came over timidly, Zhou Qingfeng found that the other party was about the same height as himself, but he was much thinner.

Zhou Qingfeng's size has changed in the past half a month. He has jumped from the original 1.3 meters to about 1.4 meters, and he is already about ten years old, and he has grown very fast. And the red ** subordinate in front of him should be about thirteen or fourteen, because of malnutrition, he is only about the same size as Zhou Qingfeng.

"Have you learned a few words?" Zhou Qingfeng asked Chi ** Li.

The little slave stretched out his fingers and began to count 'one, two, three, ......', but two hands were not enough, so he took the toes of his toes and counted until sixteen. He didn't know how to say sixteen, so he could only raise his fingers and toes to show Zhou Qingfeng. Zhou Qingfeng laughed happily, and asked the other party to write out the words he learned on the ground.

Although they are all very simple words, Chi ** Li writes very seriously. After writing it, Zhou Qingfeng asked Sun Ren, "Is he Han?" ”

"His mother is a Han slave who was captured, and his father is the master of the city. When his father was still alive, everyone else regarded him as a Jurchen. After his father died, he became a minion. Sun Ren replied.

Zhou Qingfeng nodded, already understanding what was going on.

"What's your name?"

"Brother Jin."

"What?"

"Brother Jin."

"It's called Jingo. I think you are a Han Chinese, and you have to have a Han name. Zhou Qingfeng patted Chi ** Li's shoulder and asked people to take a freshly grilled fish, a particularly large fish. He also took out a packet of salt from his pocket, and sprinkled white grains of salt on the flesh of the fish, which was so fine and dense that it was mouth-watering. "Here, eat."

Chi ** Li held the fish handed over by Zhou Qingfeng with wide eyes, and couldn't believe that it was for him. He was young, not tall, and was bullied when he worked and ate. Now because of his literacy, he has been rewarded.

Zhou Qingfeng continued to stand on the mound of earth and shouted: "I now declare that as long as you learn to speak Chinese and can write Chinese characters, I will recognize him as a Han person." As long as he is Han, I will give him preferential treatment. I have awards for Han people who study well, Han people who work hard, and Han people who are good at using their brains. ”

Most of the slaves were actually Jurchens, but Zhou Qingfeng asked people to translate his words and tell all the slaves. He also took out his saber of light, grabbed the slender pig's tail on the back of Jin Ge's head and cut it lightly, and threw his hair on the ground, leaving only a bald scoop.

Jin Ge was happily eating fish, and the saltiness of the refined salt made him appetite. The whole fish was not wasted at all, except for the bone spurs in the belly of the fish, even the head of the fish was crushed and swallowed into his stomach with a crunch. And he didn't even feel that his braids were cut off.

Being a Han is a more noble existence than being a Jurchen, which even the Jurchens themselves think. The reason why Zhou Qingfeng wants to do this kind of guidance is because the number of Han people under his command is too small, and there are only about fifty people in total. This number of people is really not the climate, and not all of them can be educated.

At present, human resources are too tight, and Zhou Qingfeng cannot be allowed to stick to certain rules and regulations. If there were Jurchens or anyone else who wanted to be naturalized, he wouldn't mind co-opting them.

This is also conducive to resolving contradictions, so as not to create an antagonism between the Jurchens and the Han among the slaves. Although there is no movement among those slaves now, Zhou Qingfeng believes that as long as they see the benefits, the outstanding personnel among the Jurchen slaves will definitely want to 'progress' and want to work for Zhou Qingfeng.

More than a hundred large and small fish were not enough to divide at all, but fortunately, Zhou Qingfeng's spiritual power recovered quickly. After replenishing his own food and eating enough, he used the 'lightning strike' technique to go into the river again to bombard fish.

With the first experience, Zhou Qingfeng bombed four or five times in one afternoon, and each time it was better than the other. More and more fish were fished up on the surface, and it really allowed all the slaves working on the construction site to eat a certain amount of fish. At the end of the day, there are even fish left, which can be kept and rewarded to the hardest working slaves on the site.

When Old Man Sun brought dinner to the slaves, after learning about this, he sighed to Zhou Qingfeng: "Using magic to catch fish, this is really unprecedented." Even those Jurchen Baylors in the city only hunted with the techniques they mastered, but they hunted to hone their fighting skills. Hunting to feed their slaves, the Baylors would never do it. ”

"How can you make slaves work without filling their bellies?" Zhou Qingfeng felt that this question was so naïve.

But Old Man Sun shook his head and said, "Alas, the Jurchen Baylors don't think like this. They really would rather watch their slaves die than find a way to feed them. If this was to be done in exchange for Utcha today, he would only have all the fish taken away, and not a single one of the slaves to eat. ”

Oh......? Zhou Qingfeng knows that his thoughts are always different from others. He suddenly said to Old Man Sun: "If we don't occupy the ideological position of the masses, the enemy will occupy it." It is necessary to intensify ideological education on this matter. Let the arrogance of my enemies become my allies. ”

"What?" This wording makes the old man incomprehensible.

"That is to say, to let the slaves know about today's incident, to publicize to them that there is fish to eat with the head of the Han family, and if you follow the Jurchen Baylor, you can only die of exhaustion. Let them try to get closer to me and take the initiative to work for me. I'm seriously understaffed right now, and I'll never let go of what I can catch. ”

"Buying people's hearts?" Old Man Sun understands this. The Chinese language is so concise and to the point, and four words summarize a large part of Zhou Qingfeng's words.

"Yes, it's to buy people's hearts." Zhou Qingfeng said: "Although the wild girls here are large in number and strong in force, their culture is far worse than ours. I can silently recruit a group of people to expand my strength, and the situation of this person's heart can determine the outcome of the war. ”

Old Man Sun wrote it down carefully, and arranged this matter for Zhou Qingfeng.

Before nightfall, torches were lit throughout the site. The slave, who had had eaten his supper, did not complain much about continuing to work, but took it for granted. Zhou Qingfeng let the slaves rest alternately, and took the initiative to get close to them. Whether it is Han Chinese or Jurchen, he treats everyone as equally as possible.

Regardless of the black cat or white cat, the one who can work for Zhou Qingfeng is a good cat. The skill of 'united front' can be regarded as self-taught.

However, when Zhou Qingfeng walked into a circle of slaves, the slaves always kept their mouths shut and all bowed their heads and cowered. Habits that have been formed over time are not so easy to change. So Zhou Qingfeng called the slave named 'Jin Ge' during the day and talked in the form of answering and chatting.

"Jingo, tell me about your mother. Where is she from? Zhou Qingfeng asked in half-baked Manchu.

"I don't know." Jin Ge, who spoke Chinese and Manchu, was designated by Zhou Qingfeng to sit among the slaves, and he was uncomfortable with the feeling of being watched. In the past, this kind of being pulled out alone for public display meant that if you made a mistake, you would be beaten.

"So is your mother good to you?" Zhou Qingfeng asked again.

This question immediately touched Jin Ge's tear ducts, and he lowered his head with tears in his eyes and began to cry, crying for a while before saying: "Without my mother, I would have died a long time ago." ”

"Tell everyone, how does your mother take care of you?" Zhou Qingfeng deliberately asked such sensational questions, and he also paid special attention to the emotions of the other slaves around him, observing whether they were listening and whether they felt something.

"My mother will give me food, will protect me, and will intercede with the master for me." Jin Ge is uneducated, he can only say a few words. Even when he cried, he didn't have a preface and a follow-up sentence, and there was no logic. But he cried and cried, and it was enough to keep shouting the word 'mother' in his mouth. After a while, the other slaves around also began to sob, shedding tears one by one.

In a collective atmosphere, it is difficult for people to be alone. It's like being in a bustling celebrity concert, and people can't help but feel excited. And when Jin Ge cried for his mother, the slaves around him slowly wailed.

Even Zhou Qingfeng, who made all this, felt so sad that he wanted to shed tears. After organizing the slaves into a family group, he also needs a psychological identity among the slaves - we are all slaves, we all love our mothers, we all have tragic experiences, we are all in this group. The cohesion of a team comes from this.

Now it's about how to harness that cohesion.
