On the eighteenth day, Li Mengxi made a rounds and saw the medical team, which was even longer.

When he arrived at the pond in Lincun, he saw his soldiers riding on osprey boats and casting nets on the pond to catch fish. Li Mengxi asked out of curiosity, "Hey! Are there many fish?"

The soldier collected the net and replied to the shore, after fishing for many days, the fish were almost exhausted and it was difficult to catch.

At this moment, the captain of the fishing team came over and pulled Li Mengxi aside to talk.

The captain of the fishing team opened his mouth and asked Li Mengxi for money. He said yes and wanted to give more money to the pond owner.

Li Mengxi was surprised. He had obviously given money to cover the entire pond.

The captain of the fishing team hesitated and said, "Even so, the money for renting the pond is cheap. Seeing how many fish we caught, the pond owner comes over and scolds us every day. I think we should give him some money."

Li Mengxi wanted to say, even if he scolded him, did he still have the spirit of contract? He dared to scold others even though he had clearly agreed on something.

Li Mengxi severely slandered the unreasonable pond owner in his heart, but what he didn't expect was what the fishing team captain said, which surprised him greatly.

The captain of the fishing team carefully observed Li Mengxi's expression and said, "Military Advisor, although we have agreed in advance to take the wallet and go to the fish pond, I thought, Military Advisor, you always teach us that we must be on good terms with the people."

, do not make enemies.

We only spent two to three thousand yuan to give him a pond of fish, and even if we give him some more, it won't cost much."

"There are a lot of fish in this pond. The fish we caught are estimated to be several hundred kilograms. According to me, the money we paid for the pond is really too little."

Li Mengxi looked at the captain of the fishing team in surprise and asked, "You mean, we paid less?"

The captain of the fishing team said vaguely, "...No, it's just that they don't give much."

What a smart person, he knows that giving little and not giving too much means the same thing.

Li Mengxi felt that what he said made sense. He looked towards the pond. He had not noticed before. There was an old man standing by the pond. The old man stood there with his hands behind his back and watched the soldiers fishing in the pond. Li Mengxi was not far away. He saw the old man.

Thing... The old man looked unhappy and was really cursing.

My own soldiers are right, they don't have much money, money is a trivial matter, the Julu military family has a great cause and should be more generous.

Li Mengxi thought about the principle of buying a pile of rotten horse bones for a thousand gold. Of course, you will lose money, but the subsequent benefits will be huge.

In the same way, this old guy is unreasonable. It is very likely that this guy is not a good person at all but a mean and mean person. However, if the Julu Army can take this loss in a big way and throw money at the loss of a mean and mean guy,

It's like buying rancid horse bones, which will harm the interests of the parties involved, but the effect is expected to be the same. Showing goodwill to a mean old guy has the same effect as showing goodwill to kind people.

The Julu Army gave more money, and the sarcastic old guy would talk about it to the villagers. Then the people heard about it and felt that the Julu Army was really fair. Then, next time, if the Julu Army comes here again, the people will

Take the initiative to come and buy fish.

As for whether the Julu Army will come here again, who knows, military tactics are unpredictable and anything can happen.

Li Mengxi had already foreseen the subsequent impact that just a few hundred dollars would bring. In fact, seeing that fish farming could be sold for money, the acrimonious old guy would even look forward to the return of the Julu Army next time.

Being able to control honest and kind people is just a basic ability. Being able to control harsh and even treacherous people is really powerful.

After thinking about this, Li Mengxi looked back at the captain of his fishing team and smiled, "Tell me, who is your last name? You deserve a credit for making this suggestion!"

As he spoke, Li Mengxi took out a pen and paper and prepared to write down something.

The captain of the fishing team looked happy and said his name. Li Mengxi wrote down his name and briefly recorded the whole story.

Later, Li Mengxi asked his entourage for the money bag, handed the money bag to the captain of the fishing team, pointed to the old man by the pond, and Li Mengxi motioned to the captain of the fishing team to give the money to the old man.

The captain of the fishing team took the money and walked forward. After taking only two steps, a fishing soldier in the pond happened to pull up a net and pulled up a big silver carp. When the old man saw it, he pointed angrily and yelled, "Damn,

I don’t see you showing up day by day, but I caught you from the side and showed you off!”

It sounds like you are scolding fish, but in fact you are scolding people. This is called pointing fingers and scolding locust trees.

The captain of the fishing team was walking forward with the money. When he was halfway there, he saw this guy swearing. This embarrassed the captain of the fishing team. The captain couldn't help but hesitate and looked back at Li Mengxi. Seeing that Li Mengxi was unmoved, the captain had to continue.

Go forward.

The fisherman on the pond untied the net, smashed the fish to death with a hammer and threw it into the cabin. To the acrimonious pond owner, hitting the fish was equivalent to hitting his head. The guy was sulky and angry. He moved his mouth and

Want to curse.

"Old man," someone shouted.

The old man looked back and saw an army leader walking towards him with a smile on his face.

The captain of the fishing team took the money, smiled and explained, "Old man, the water here is good and the fish are well raised. We have caught a lot of fish in the past few days!

I was thinking, there are a lot of fish in this pond, but the money we give to rent the pond is small, we can’t let Ren suffer a loss, right?

I took some money, not much, so I took it as supplement and took it as I wanted (zhuo)."

The old man who owned the pond took the money in a daze. The money was heavy in his hand. It took a while for the old man to understand what was going on.

The old man's face immediately brightened up and he beamed, "Yeah! You can't do it, you can't do it! I've given you money, I've given you money!"

The captain of the fishing team smiled, waved his hand, stuffed the old man's money bag back, turned around and left.

This scene was completely watched by Li Mengxi. Li Mengxi found it interesting. The captain of the fishing team was quite talented. Judging from what he said, he first praised the water, then praised the fish, and then calmly handed over the money via a step.

Things were done so naturally, and this guy was so worldly and sociable.

Money is such a good thing, it can change people's attitudes in an instant. The old pond owner who was originally very angry about Julu Army's fishing incident, immediately lost his anger after he unexpectedly received the extra money from Julu.

Instead, I later realized that I had gone too far.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The old pond owner came over with some embarrassment and said to Li Mengxi, "Little general, if Ren wants more fish, I will raise them next year. If Ren comes again, when will he come?"

Come, when will there be fish?"

Li Mengxi was happy. He knew that the old man was just talking for a moment, "Okay! Then I will make an appointment with my uncle. If I pass by here next time, I will definitely come to beg for mercy!"

Li Mengxi was still young, had a high status, and was very polite. When he called him "uncle", the old man felt very proud and happy, and he immediately invited Li Mengxi to his house for a drink.

God, Li Mengxi is so busy. He has no time to go out for a drink, so he can only refuse.

Li Mengxi is so powerful. The cursing old man by the pond was originally a slightly hostile person who had a conflict of interest with the Julu Army. However, with a little manipulation and a few words, he turned the conflict of interest into an enemy.

Friendly relations.

Seeing that Li Mengxi insisted on leaving and refused to go home to have a drink, the old man scratched his head and asked Li Mengxi to wait. Li Mengxi waited curiously for a while.

After a while, the old man came over holding an old turtle as big as a basin.

The old man said that this turtle was caught by a boy in the family by the river and was originally intended to be sold. "I will give it to you, my nephew!" the old man said with a smile.

Li Mengxi then accepted the old turtle. He asked his entourage to pay, but the old man refused. Li Mengxi insisted on paying, but the old man still refused. This happened several times, and when the old man refused to accept it, Li Mengxi had no choice but to give it up.

Before leaving, Li Mengxi had no choice but to say, "Old man, our army will be here for more than half a month. If anything happens to your family, just come to me."

After all, I inherited the old man's gift of a turtle.

Li Mengxi took the turtle back to see if the soup tasted good.

At the edge of the pond, the old man stood back again. He straightened his back and tied a heavy money bag around his waist. This time, the old man looked at the officers and soldiers fishing in the pond, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them.

Watching the officers and soldiers cast the net and caught it all again, the old man smiled and shouted to the officers and soldiers, "Young man! There are not many fish in the pond. I know a place. It's a bit far away. Do you want to go?"

The fishing soldier looked up at the old man by the pond and asked, "Where?"

Finally, the soldier followed the old man to the so-called fish-rich place, which was a deep water ditch. The old man said that although there were no big fish in the ditch, there were many small fish.

At first, the soldiers didn't believe it, but when they cast the net, there were indeed many small fish.

This may be called the relationship between the army and the people, the fish and the water, and the people's hearts, which have to be managed.
