Hearing this, the seven people looked at each other, then knelt down and kowtowed,
"The last general is willing to serve the lord as a dog and a horse!"
If you want people to be loyal, you can't just use formal coercion, nor can you just rely on personally accepting emotional kidnappings and treating them politely. The best way is to give them what they want most.
These people are all capable, but in the Anton King Group, no matter how talented they are, they can't get ahead because the important positions are controlled by the big families. Even if they have great abilities, they can't get ahead.
Important positions are all controlled by idiots like Ye Xingningyuan. They can't even be generals.
But it is different with Nie Chen. Nie Chen is a new group. Everything is from the beginning. By joining, they can gain more resources and status.
Things that cannot be obtained from King Anton can be obtained from Nie Chen. Scholars will die for their confidants. If Nie Chen gives them what they want, they will naturally be loyal to Nie Chen.
Not talking about these seven people, just take Liang Peng, Lin Guang and others as examples. It is true that they are loyal to Nie Chen, but they also have pursuits in their hearts. They hope to get better and more things by following Nie Chen.
Who doesn’t want to be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and who doesn’t want to be granted the title of wife and son?
There is no such thing as loyalty without reason.
"Okay, okay, everyone, please get up and drink together."
After everyone stood up, they all sat back to their original positions. At this time, Mo Chen, the leader, suddenly said,
"By the way, sir, when we came here, we met a woman on the way with a child. We saw their mother and son walking alone on the road. We were worried that they would encounter a bad person, so we went up to ask. She said that she She was going to the county town to find her husband. She also said that her husband was now a high official.
We took them with us. I wonder if you recognize her husband. "
Nie Chen asked curiously,
"Oh? A high-ranking official? Who is it? What's his name?"
"It seems that his name is Fang Zhuang. I have to ask more about the specific situation..."
"Fang Zhuang?"
Nie Chen and Weng Qiuchan stood up immediately, and Weng Qiuchan asked quickly,
"Where are their mother and son? Take me to see them quickly."
When Mo Chen saw this, he knew that Fang Zhuang must be a very important person, so he quickly got up and took Weng Qiuchan with him to find him.
Lin Guang and Yue Dongwen asked curiously,
"My lord, who is Fang Zhuang?"
"It's just Da Zhuang. You guys have been here for so long and you don't even know Da Zhuang's name?"
Nie Chen smiled.
"Oh, Da Zhuang, I really didn't care about his name. I thought his surname was Da Ming Zhuang."
Yue Dongwen chuckled.
After a while, Mo Chen and Weng Qiuchan came over with a mother and son.
The woman's appearance showed no trace of her age. Her face was dark and ugly. She was still wearing black linen clothes and a black scarf on her head. She was carrying a bag on her back and was holding a six or seven-year-old boy in her hand. little boy.
The little boy was also dirty. He was wearing black linen clothes and was a little thin. His big eyes looked at Nie Chen timidly.
"Sister-in-law, this is my husband Nie Chen."
Weng Qiuchan looked at Nie Chen and said to the woman,
"Greetings, my lord!"
After the woman finished speaking, she pulled the little boy to kneel down. Nie Chen quickly said,
"No, no, no, please hold on."
Needless to say, Weng Qiuchan also reached out to support the two of them.
"How did this happen? What a good child. What a pitiful child."
Nie Chen knelt down and reached out to wipe the dirt on the little boy's face. The little boy was so frightened that he quickly hid behind his mother.
Weng Qiuchan said,
"Husband, let me take them to wash up first, change their clothes, and let them eat here."
"Whatever you need to do to wash, you have to do it yourself. People have worked hard to walk all the way. It's business to eat quickly."
Nie Chen personally moved two chairs, put them down, and asked the guards to add dishes and chopsticks.
The Seven Generals, Lin Guangyue, Dongwen and the others looked at their mother and son with big eyes and small eyes, feeling strange at first sight.
Nie Chen greeted,
"Come on, sister-in-law, use your chopsticks. We are all on our own, and this is so strong. I originally thought that after I go back this time, he will be free and let him personally lead the troops to pick you up. She It would be better if I let you walk here by yourself. You are so generous, and you are not afraid of encountering bandits?"
Hearing this, Da Zhuang's wife said,
"No, sir, my husband did not ask us to come over. He wrote to us some time ago and said that he is no longer a bandit but a high official. He is here in Weihu County and he said he would come to pick us up after a while.
But my son and I were worried about him, so we sold two acres of land in the village and came to find him in exchange for money.
We are from Jinchang County. Jinchang County is the territory of King Pingxi. There are no bandits there. After we passed Hukou Pass and arrived at Weihu County, we painted it like this with ashes from the bottom of the pot. We drove in the evening and early morning, specifically picking If you walk on a trail, you are worried about encountering bandits.
As a result, we walked all the way without encountering any bandits. We happened to encounter the soldiers and horses of these generals.
Because my husband was a soldier before, I was not afraid and came with them. "
Nie Chen smiled and said,
"Then you are quite lucky. There are a lot of bandits in Jinping County. Just a few days ago, Mr. Zhao recruited all the bandits. Otherwise, your journey will definitely not be peaceful. You must not act recklessly in the future. .”
"No, no, no, after meeting my husband, we can just settle down with him."
"Okay, after I go back this time, I will pay for Da Zhuang to buy a house in the county. You can all live in it and settle down in the county. It is better than farming in your hometown."
Nie Chen smiled, then looked at Guo Ziren and said,
"General Guo, isn't your home in Qingshui County? If your family members are all here, you can take them over and the government will pay for the house to be settled."
"Thank you, lord. There is only one old mother left in the general's family. I have saved a little money over the years. I can just find a remote alley in the county to buy a courtyard. How dare I trouble my lord."
"It's okay. From now on, as long as you are a general-level person who has no home, you can bring your family over and settle down in the county city. This way you can take care of them nearby.
We soldiers have neglected our families all year round, and we owe our families a lot. "
"Thank you, my lord."
Nie Chen smiled and said,
"I envy you people who have families. Unlike me, this is the only lady left, and she still opposes me all day long."
"It's obvious that you are against me, and you act like a traitor every day!"
Weng Qiuchan punched Nie Chen on the shoulder.
Seeing the young couple laughing and scolding, everyone felt very friendly, which invisibly shortened the distance between them.
That night, Weng Qiuchan personally arranged a tent for Da Zhuang's wife and children, took care of them to rest, and chatted until late.
