C346 Regroup

When a young lady who was thought to have been burnt to ashes returned alive, she immediately destroyed the fortress in the villagers' hearts. Although they still hated the Xiang Army, they treated Jiang Xiaobai like he was a celestial being.

With a breakthrough, the following matters were much easier to deal with.

Jiang Xiaobai ordered all the Xiang Army soldiers to retreat out of the village, and the villagers to go back and count their losses, discussing the compensation together.

After this decision was made, both the soldiers and villagers were stunned for a long time.

The soldiers would lose money? Weren't they willing to sacrifice their lives rather than pay for it?

It seemed that this troop of soldiers had brought a lot of supplies, but there were still people who did not know how to make a comeback if the strong paid the weak.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai's resolute eyes, and seeing the soldiers who were leaving the village, the villagers started to move.

The most important thing was to stay away from this group of murderous demon kings.

In less than ten minutes, the grain drying field had become quiet. Even the seven corpses had been moved away by the villagers.

A stifled cry began to come from inside the village. Some timid people quickly packed their stuff and took advantage of the cover of the night to secretly hide in the nearby fields.

However, there were still a few villagers who stayed behind. They tried to open their own rice vats, chicken nests, and boxes to check what was missing, and then reported all of them to Jin Hua's grandfather.

Some people understate that this is just a formality and that there is no compensation at all.

Some people reported more, and felt that the more they reported, the more reasonable it seemed.

At around one in the morning, Jin Hua, Jin Hua's grandfather, Zhao Hu and two village elders arrived at the grain drying field. Under the cover of the torch, they handed over a few statistics of their losses to Jiang Xiaobai.

First of all, the food, including the land that was harmed, weighed about 6000 pounds, while the loss of fresh vegetables amounted to as much as 5000 pounds.

This was simply nonsense. Normally, these soldiers' rations wouldn't even reach half a pound a day, yet they had suffered so much in a single meal. It was clear that they couldn't afford to throw the food around.

After that, there were the losses of domestic animals, a total of five pigs were killed, and eleven pigs, seven sheep, and 169 chickens were robbed. In addition, all the dried meat and dried meat that the villagers lost were also around a thousand jin!

"Chang Zilong, there are so many things. Your Cantonment Camp only has five thousand soldiers and civilians, and it's only this much every year, right?" Jiang Xiaobai trembled from head to toe as he held onto the document.

Chang Zilong was also trembling in anger. He thought that the soldiers in the carriage would cause trouble, but did not expect it to be so serious.

With so much meat, before this, his entire Cantonment Camp could not even eat this much in a year.

There was no need to ask. If he went to the place where the soldiers buried pots and cooked rice to inspect, he would definitely be able to see a large amount of abandoned food.

"A bunch of bastards! I'll starve them for one day tomorrow!"

"What's the use of starving them? Can food be starved out?" They still need to march, how can they walk if they aren't full? " Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said: "You should think about how you should compensate me right?"

"Compensation?" Chang Zilong's lips trembled.

This was the first time their Cantonment Camp had been so rich, and it was difficult for them to bear to set off with enough military rations to eat for half a month!

"What? You're not willing?" Jiang Xiaobai groaned, and said: "How much food did you bring when you set off?"

Chang Zilong was so scared that he immediately lowered his head and said: "About … Twenty thousand catties! "

Jiang Xiaobai said: "When we depart tomorrow, no one will be able to bring three days worth of rations with them. As for the rest, they will be given to them! Including those pigs and sheep, the cattle pulling the carriage, and the horses that could not be used for battle at all! "

Ah!" Chang Zilong's heart ached so much that he trembled.

Ah!" The old man trembled and quickly waved his hand, "Your excellency, please don't. Just give us some food. We don't dare to accept an army horse and sheep!

"Take it, this is what you deserve." Jiang Xiaobai returned the first list to Zhao Hu and picked up the second list.

It was a financial loss, the pots and pans, the jars and jars lost over a thousand, the clothes, shoes and socks lost over a few hundred, in addition, to that, he reported a few thousand copper coins, ten or so taels of silver, and a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry, Zhao Hu gave him a valuation of about a hundred silver.

A village was robbed with hatred. Besides the food, the rest of the losses were only 10 taels of silver. It was truly poor.

They were both poor people, why would the poor make things difficult for them?

However, when Jiang Xiaobai turned his head to look at the soldiers who were standing outside the grain drying field, he was extremely angry. Many of them were wearing clothes that he snatched away, while some of them were obviously women's clothes.

It was not impossible to force the soldiers to return after robbing them of their belongings. It was just that it would take too much time.

Jiang Xiaobai sighed and said: "Old Dwarf, a total of two hundred silver. What do you think?"

"Two hundred silver taels?" Zhao Hu's eyes lit up, he knew that many of them had reported it to the sect. If there really were two hundred silver as compensation, it would be equivalent to earning money.

"Head out for the army. Temporarily, I don't have any money with me!" Jiang Xiaobai reached out and took the other party's brush, wrote a promissory note on the bill, and handed it over to Zhao Hu. He said: "In three days, in five days, I will deliver two hundred silver taels at most!"

"In that case, thank you, my lord!" Zhao Hu's excited expression immediately went dark, and he spoke with difficulty.

So you're not giving me any cash? Why would you send it back after you've left, who would believe that!

The third bill was the loss of the house. The house that had been completely burnt down had a total of Shisan's, which included five of Zhao Hu's houses, the damaged Qi Jian that was not suitable to live in, and three more pigsty that had been pushed to the ground.

"Old Dwarf, why didn't you calculate your loss?" Jiang Xiaobai waved the bill.

Zhao Hu sighed: "It's impossible to calculate. There is furniture in the room, and a bed and bedding. In addition, the cost of building a house is different from the cost of buying a house. "

"Then... How about a thousand silver? " Jiang Xiaobai tried to announce a number.

"I don't need that much!" Zhao Hu said: "Take Toddler's house for example, if the villagers were to help, it would be completed in a month. We only need to provide twenty-something people with a month's worth of food, and then we can go nearby to cut down some wood."

So houses were so cheap!

Jiang Xiaobai lifted up the pen once again, and prepared to write an IOU on the bill. "Then let's say one thousand gold, in three days …"

Before he finished writing, Jiang Xiaobai noticed that Zhao Hu's face was filled with a helpless smile, and his eyes had a look of sorrow.

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned, it seemed like he did not believe it!

Thinking about it, it made sense to Zhang Xuan. After all, who wouldn't know how to beat someone up?

Forget it, let's just give them a peace of mind pill!

"Old Dwarf will wait for a while, I will go and get the money for you guys now, come back at daybreak!" Not writing a promissory note, Jiang Xiaobai returned the brush and paper back to Zhao Hu, then turned and got on his motorcycle. He shouted: "Chang Zilong, do you know what you should do?"

Chang Zilong bowed and greeted, "Please instruct me, immortal master?"

"Reorganize the troops!" Jiang Xiaobai started up the motorcycle, turned around and headed south.
