Wang Lin looked at Richard in front of him, and a faint smile flashed across the corner of his mouth...

Judging from Richard's performance, he was very qingchu and had completely controlled the man in front of him...

In this world, there are many ways to control a person...

The simpler and rougher ones can be physical imprisonment, just like medieval slaves, without freedom or dignity. The slaves themselves are the property of their masters and can be killed at will by their masters. Their power is squeezed out to the maximum extent, and what provides their lives is only the smallest amount of food...

For slave owners, the life of a slave only needs to be maintained at a minimum. Only by maintaining the minimum guarantee can the slave always ensure sufficient loyalty and fundamentally eliminate the possibility of slave resistance!

In such a process of getting along, the slaves themselves have no status at all. For slave owners, the slaves themselves are just tools. No matter how well they do, they will not receive any reward. If they do not do well, they will face ruthless whipping...

This kind of slavery is essentially a very backward way...

From a humane perspective, it is also very inhumane...

Of course, for rulers, the issue of humanity itself is not within their scope of consideration. What they need to consider is just how much benefit the slaves can bring to them...

The main reason why this method is backward is very simple...

Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance...

When someone tries to make another person nothing, or even let people be in an environment where life is worse than death, then they will inevitably be resisted. In fact, in the slave era, slave defection can be said to be common. Even if the slave owner uses various cruel methods to suppress it, it is difficult to truly eliminate this behavior. From a certain perspective, cruel treatment of his own slave is actually a very dangerous thing for the slave owner. Because he will know what time the slave's patience will reach its limit...

Although in the social environment at that time, slaves themselves often lacked sufficient sense of resistance, when a slave with a strong sense of resistance appeared in the group of slaves, it may trigger a war for slaves to fight for freedom. The cruelty of the war will often arouse the freedom consciousness of other slaves to a greater extent, and in the end it may form a frenzy that swept the entire country...

The American War of Independence actually largely superficially the possible consequences of this colonial system...

From a certain perspective, this simple and crude method is actually not the best way to control a person. Instead, it often leads to a series of evil consequences...

When you try to deprive others of everything, you are actually on the road of no return!

Because what you will face will be someone who ignores all rules...

People who lose everything are often the most terrifying...

As time goes by, the rulers gradually began to realize that this physical way of enslaving others is actually a very stupid behavior. Even without considering these resistance emotions of being enslaved, such enslavement is ineffective at all from the perspective of work efficiency...

Then, the rulers began to understand that in fact, in many cases, there was no need to enslave other people's bodies. As long as they needed to control other people's economic lifelines, they could freely control other people's behavior...

Just like the binding force of bosses in modern society on employees...

In modern society, the boss of a company is undoubtedly very binding on employees, because for employees, working against the boss is actually equivalent to giving up their jobs in disguise. The benefits, wages, bonuses, etc. of a company, as the working hours gradually grow, employees will gradually get used to the changes brought to their lives. When they get used to these benefits, they will not be willing to give up these things...

In order to keep their jobs, they may often have to do something against their will...

This is economic control!

Compared to physical control, economic control is undoubtedly much more clever!

The reason is very simple. A person who has nothing to do with physical dignity must be without any scruples when doing things...

On the contrary, economic control is superior to physical control!

Because this is a way of giving first and then asking for it, just like fishing with bait. In fact, the fish that eats the bait is hooked by the hook at the same time. When the bait is eaten, it will naturally not be willing to spit it out. As long as you are unwilling to spit out the bait, you will never be able to get rid of the control of the hook!

The more fat the bait, the stronger the control over the fish!

Take it in advance and give it first!

Many times, the actual effect of giving a talent a salary that exceeds his own abilities is the monopoly of this talent!

Because, once you do this, the person will never find any other place to give him the same high salary. Once you leave the original company, you will immediately become nothing!

This is a kind of psychological suppression!

And this economic control strategy is actually subtle!

Speaking of which, this change in control method is largely the same as war...

In the beginning, the way of war was to physically destroy the opponent, and then the defeated side turned into prisoners and slaves, and devoted themselves to the work of overcoming the side...

As time goes by, the victorious party began to realize that in fact, the prisoners are not the optimal choice. The best choice is to let the other party pay a high price to redeem these prisoners...

With the end of the world war, rulers and economists finally began to realize that in fact, in many cases, even if the extreme means such as tongguo war are not needed, they can still obtain far better benefits than the effect of war!

This principle is like killing all the talents of a country after defeating a country. Taking over a country's place is actually far less than allowing the country to continue to operate. It is just more reasonable to extract benefits from it. As long as you grasp the other party's economic lifeline under the military leadership, the other party's development speed will never exceed that of yourself...

It can be said that from physical control to economic control, it is actually a huge improvement in human cognition!

However, for Wang Lin, these two control methods are not the best methods he recognizes!

In Wang Lin's opinion, the best way to control a person is to control it from Jingshén!

Yes, on jingshén!

Compared with physical and economic control, control on jingshén is the most terrifying way of control!

Physical control cannot erase Jingshén's beliefs, like a hungry venomous snake, with the possibility of backlashing its owner at any time!

Although economic control has certain control from a certain perspective, the control is not absolute. A company's boss may be able to toggurgate his own rights to make a girl willingly be implicitly ruled. However, it is absolutely impossible for an employee to willingly rob a bank, nor can he let an employee commit suicide and jump off a building. These things are impossible for economic control to do!

Because economic control itself has a prerequisite...

That is, this kind of control will definitely not affect the normal life of the person involved, nor will it affect a person's survival. Once economic control and these two conflict with each other, the controlled person would often rather change his job than choose to submit...

And if it is physical control, it will be even more joyful. It is very likely that when you just tied up a physical bomb for your slave and asked him to attack the target, he would kill the master in seconds...

However, there will definitely be no such problem in the control on jingshén!

Just like many cults, often the church leaders will sacrifice their lives and even burn themselves without frowning!

This is the power of faith!

When a person has something he firmly believes in in his heart, he will not be shaken by external things. He will firmly believe that his behavior is correct, just like many religious firm believers who can contribute everything to their religion without hesitation!

When you meet such a person, it is actually very difficult to communicate to a large extent!

Because such people are already in different planes from other normal people!

From a certain perspective, some believers of cults have actually been brainwashed...

However, from the perspective of jingshén control, brainwashing in cults can actually be considered a relatively low-level approach. The reason is very simple, because brainwashing itself is not foolproof. Once a believer finds that he has been deceived, the anger is often not something that the leaders of the cults can afford. Secondly, generally speaking, people who are simply brainwashed will not be of great value to use...

It may be easy to deceive ignorant women and children by brainwashing, but it is very difficult to truly deceive rational people. As long as you are a clear-headed person, you can often distinguish right from wrong!

And those truly powerful people are often more difficult to control!

Because those people are often very firm in their hearts!

Just like humans can tame dogs as pets at will, but it is difficult to train lions and tigers as their own pets!

The reason is very simple. Powerful creatures always have their own pride. Perhaps humans can kill them at will, but it is absolutely impossible to train them like loyal dogs!

That's what the awakened one is!

Perhaps jingshén control, economic control, physical control can impress an ordinary person, but it will definitely not impress an awakened person who has the power far exceeding ordinary people!

Wang Lin is very qingchu. The best and most effective way to truly impress an awakened person is to first disturb the other person's mind, and then show the power far beyond the other person's imagination. Tongguo, these two methods, both inside and outside, can make an awakened person truly surrender!

Wang Lin is very qingchu. Richard is a proud awakened person. In fact, any strong man at the field level will have his own pride!

And if this pride is not broken, it will be difficult to truly impress Richard!

Those who can reach this level of awakening actually change their minds often quickly. They may choose to surrender when the situation is unfavorable to them. However, once the situation changes, they will also choose to rebel as soon as possible!

Such people are often very difficult to be subdued!

Just like that kind of ferocious beast. Perhaps they always act lazy in front of tourists during the day, but when they face their prey, they will truly show their fierce side...

And to deal with such a beast, the best way is to conquer people with virtue...

Yes. Be victorious!

The so-called "being virtuous" is easy to understand, which is to create an opportunity for the other party to fight back or escape unscrupulously, and then let the other party launch a counterattack on himself, and then make the other party realize that the attack on him is completely invalid!

Only a process like Tongguo, after repeated repeated and repeated, the beast's mind will naturally arise. This human being itself cannot defeat. As time goes by, the beast will be very tamed to this person, and there will be no idea of ​​attack in its mind...

This is particularly obvious in young beasts. Take elephants as an example. Many elephant taming people who are elephants use a rope to tie the baby elephant to a wooden stake when they are young. The baby elephant struggles hard but cannot break free from the rope. After several attempts, the baby elephant will slowly give up the idea of ​​break free. Even if the baby elephant becomes an elephant, even if the elephant's power is enough to break free from the rope in an instant, when tied to the rope, the elephant will not try to break free, because in its mind, it is impossible for it to break free from the rope!

And that's what Wang Lin did!

Since the battle between Lana and Richard began, Wang Lin has been watching all the time. The reason why Wang Lin only spoke to stop Lana's actions was to shake Richard's original stable mind between life and death!

Next, Wang Lin intentionally created a perfect opportunity for Richard to escape. He first showed his weakness to the enemy, making himself act like an ordinary old man, showing harmlessness. This situation also made Richard naturally have the illusion that he could escape!

Faced with such an opportunity, Richard naturally made the wrong choice without hesitation!

After Richard chose to escape, Wang Lin did not hesitate to completely shatter Richard's hopes again!

After several twists and turns, Richard quickly fell into a state of self-denial!

From Richard's expression, Wang Lin could see that the other party was completely impressed by him...

Wang Lin completely believed that even if Richard is handed over to a few ordinary people for interrogation, he would probably explain his situation clearly...

Wang Lin’s idea is very simple to say, but in practice, it is not that simple thing!

With Wang Lin's strength, it is not very difficult to convince a realm-level awakened person, but the way to convince him is also very important!

For Wang Lin, the actual effect of using simple power to control the other party is definitely far less than creating an illusion to confuse the other party!

Just like in ancient times, the effects of recruiting military generals with whips and torture are definitely completely different from those with fine wine and beauties. Even if the former surrenders, it actually leaves a huge hidden danger, because if the whip makes the other party surrender, it actually creates a potential hatred in the other party's heart, and may not erupt for a while, but once there is a chance, the other party will burst out this hatred without hesitation!

So generally speaking, if you are planning to surrender a certain general, the monarch is often reluctant to use punishment. Even if it is imprisonment, it is often a means of house arrest for good wine, food and good houses. In this way, the general under house arrest knows that they will be surrendered, and can also consider their position and wording during the period. If both sides do not have unilateral hatred, then the general under surrender will generally agree...
To be continued...
