Du Qi raised his hand and gestured for everyone to quiet down. Originally, many people were not very interested in Du Qi and did not believe in him. They even thought that Du Qi was just trying to lure them to their deaths.
But now that they saw the money, they felt more at ease.
They were really looking forward to it.
For many people at the bottom of society, they were living at the bottom of society. Everything they did was not up to them. This was especially true for the pressure of life, which caused them to bear even more pressure.
For money, they dared to do anything.
Even if they had to take a huge risk, they dared to do it.
All of this was for money.
Because of the expenses of a family, countless soldiers were willing to do it even if they knew the risks.
Du Qi looked at everyone and said, "I, Du Qi, always do what I say. Since I have made a promise, I will naturally carry it out. There will be no such thing as cheating, and there will be no such thing as embezzlement.
"Since I have promised you money, it is impossible for me to not give it to you.
"Many of you are worried about what will happen if I go back on my word after the war.
"I will not explain anything. I will just say the simplest thing. If I lie to you today, who among you will be willing to believe the government and the promise of the county magistrate in the future? "
Du Qi said, "The world of the Qin Dynasty is already in chaos. In the current situation, I believe many of you know that there are countless bandits and the world is no longer peaceful. Therefore, the battle with the Great Barren Mountain is not the last battle. There will be many more battles in the future.
"There are many places in Fushan County that need your help. You are the most important pillars of Fushan County. Without your support, Fushan County may fall into trouble. "
Du Qi said, "Therefore, it is impossible to lie to you."
When the soldiers heard this, many of them nodded.
Du Qi's words made sense.
They weren't stupid. If the officials went back on their word after agreeing to this matter, then no one would trust the officials, let alone the imperial court.
Du Qi continued, "Let me give you a simple example. You should all know County Magistrate Zhou's character. When County Magistrate Zhou was in charge of Fushan County, did he lie to you? Have we ever embezzled your soldiers' pay? You may not believe me, but you can't not believe County Magistrate Zhou's character. "
In Fushan County, Zhou Qing had a good reputation.
Perhaps Zhou Qing did not have many outstanding achievements in martial arts and was even threatened by the bandits of the Great Desolate Mountain.
However, Zhou Qing also did his best to govern the place.
He was always considerate of the people.
At least Fu Shan County under Zhou Qing's rule was a good place to start.
With Du Qi's words, many soldiers had doubts in their hearts. But when they thought about Zhou Qing's actions in Fushan County, many of them put down their doubts.
Because Zhou Qing was trustworthy.
It was really not bad.
Du Qi continued, "The initial transfer of ten thousand taels of silver has already arrived. Next, this batch of silver would be shelved in the army. When we return victorious, we will be rewarded. Similarly, we will also compensate those who died or were injured in battle. We will not mistreat anyone. "
"We will depart tomorrow."
"We will rest for a day today. Tomorrow morning, the army will set off."
Du Qi waved his hand and instructed, "Alright, everyone, disperse. Go and prepare. Those who need to sharpen their blades, those who need to pack up, pack up and prepare for battle. "
Everyone dispersed.
Zhou Qing waved his hand, and someone carried the ten thousand taels of silver to the main tent and placed it there.
Du Qi and Zhou Qing directly left.
After the two of them left the military camp, they went to a house not far from the camp and stayed there.
Zhou Qing's expression was very excited. He said, "Mr. Du, your mouth is really amazing. With just a few words, the fighting spirit and momentum of the entire army changed. Now, all the soldiers in the army have the fighting spirit and are no longer cowardly. "
Du Qi stroked his beard and chuckled. "County Magistrate Zhou, the logic is actually very simple. With great rewards, there will definitely be brave men. Just by shouting slogans and orders, it is very difficult to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers and stimulate the fighting power of the army. "
"Just like when I do business, it is impossible to make the shopkeepers and the rest of the people under me go all out and talk to them about how hard they should work."
"How to make them go all out is to give them a generous treatment."
"Not only that, there are also dividends."
"As long as they reach a certain amount and earn a certain amount of money, I will give them a certain amount of money every month. In this way, everyone will go all out and do a good job. "
Du Qi said, "Because when the business is good and they make more money, they will get more. If the business is bad and they can't make money, then in the end, they won't get anything. Therefore, we can put our hearts in one place and twist them into a rope. "
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Zhou Qing clapped his hands and smiled brightly.
He really admired Du Qi.
In fact, when he thought about it carefully, the two principles were indeed connected and there was no difference.
Zhou Qing said, "If I had understood Mr. Du's principles earlier, I would have been very different all these years. Even the bandit Yan Three of the Great Desolate Mountain would have been destroyed by me. "
Du Qi said, "County Magistrate Zhou, you are too humble. You only focus on governing the place. To be honest, it is not easy to govern the place. The bigwigs in the central government of the imperial court only needed to say one word to discuss policies or issue orders. But when it comes to the county, it is inextricably linked. "
"There is a needle above and a thousand threads below."
"It is not easy to govern the place."
"I used to be an official in Xia Xia. To tell you the truth, I was also an official. It is just that being an official involves many aspects, and there are too many restrictions. There are too many things that I can't do as I please. "
Du Qi's words were filled with bewitchment and falsehood.
It was nothing more than gaining Zhou Qing's trust.
Only this way would it be beneficial for Du Qi to establish a foothold in Fushan County and make further breakthroughs.
Du Qi continued, "It is also thanks to my family's strength that no one dealt with me even if I rampaged in the officialdom. If it were not for my family's background, I would have been marginalized and dealt with long ago. "
"So in the end, I started doing business."
"Business is still better."
"There are not so many twists and turns, and there is not so much helplessness."
Du Qi said, "So, I can understand County Magistrate Zhou. It is not easy to govern the place. Thousands of people in this place are looking at you, and they all need you to make arrangements. It is not easy! "
After hearing this, Zhou Qing was greatly shocked. When he looked at Du Qi, his eyes were filled with admiration.
Du Qi said it too well.
Zhou Qing sighed and said, "After listening to your words, a lot of helplessness and helplessness in the officialdom are worth it. How good would it be if everyone in the world was like Mr. Du? "
Zhou Qing's family was not very strong. Although he had some connections, they were not of much help to him.
Therefore, Zhou Qing also had a lot of helplessness in being an official.
He could not do whatever he wanted in the place, and he could not deal with things according to his own ideas. He still had to take into account the interests of all parties and the overall situation.
Zhou Qing said, "It is enough to have Mr. Du as a confidant!"
Du Qi said, "County Magistrate Zhou, you flatter me."
Zhou Qing took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. At this time, he had 100% trust in Du Qi. Because he felt that people like Du Qi really had great wisdom and was really worth making friends with.
Zhou Qing continued, "Mr. Du, our plan has been launched. Do you think someone will fall into the trap tonight? "
Du Qi said with certainty, "There must be. The Great Barren Mountain is so big, and there must be spies in the army. Right now, we have announced that we are going to attack the Great Barren Mountain. Therefore, the people in the army who belong to the Great Barren Mountain will definitely take action. All we need to do is wait. We will take down these people. "
Zhou Qing nodded as well.
He was looking forward to it.
After all, Du Qi's plan had been implemented. Now, they just needed to wait for the people in the army who belonged to the Great Barren Mountain to jump into the trap.
