Chapter 323
A girl who was thought to have been burnt to ashes came back alive, and immediately disintegrated the last stronghold in the hearts of the villagers. Although they still hated the Xiang army, they already regarded Jiang Xiaobai as a god.

With a breakthrough, the next thing will be much easier.

Jiang Xiaobai ordered all Xiang army soldiers to withdraw from the village, and the villagers went home to count the losses and discuss the amount of compensation together.

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

Will the soldiers lose money?They are poor and clinking, didn't they prefer to lose their lives before losing money?
It seems that this team of soldiers brought a lot of supplies, but the strong compensated the weak, and there were still some people who couldn't turn around for a while.

However, looking at Jiang Xiaobai's firm eyes and watching the soldiers who kept retreating from the village, the villagers gradually started to take action.

Statistical losses aside, the most important thing is to stay away from this group of murderous demon kings.

In less than ten minutes, the grain drying yard became quiet, and even the seven corpses were removed by the villagers.

Depressed cries began to be heard in the village, and some timid people hurriedly packed up their things, took advantage of the cover of night, and quietly fled into the nearby crop fields to hide.

However, some villagers stayed behind, tentatively opening their own rice vats, chicken coops, and cages to check what was missing, and then reported them to Jinhua's grandfather one by one.

Some people underreported, thinking that it was just a formality, and they could not get compensation at all.

Some people report more, and feel that the more they report, the more reasonable it seems.

At around one o'clock in the morning, Jin Hua, Jin Hua's grandfather Zhao Hu, and the elders of the two villages came to the grain drying field, and under the shade of the torches, they handed over several loss statistics to Jiang Xiaobai.

The first is food, including those that have been damaged in the field, at about [-] catties, and the loss of fresh vegetables is as high as [-] catties.

This is nonsense. The rations of this group of soldiers usually don't even amount to half a catty a day, but they have tossed so much for a meal, and it's clear that they just can't eat and throw them around.

Next is the loss of poultry and livestock. A total of five pigs were killed, and eleven pigs, seven sheep, and 160 nine chickens were taken away. In addition, the bacon, dried meat and other things lost by the villagers’ homes, It's also about a thousand catties!
"Chang Zilong, there are so many things, the five thousand soldiers and civilians in your camp, that's only so many in a year, right?" Jiang Xiaobai trembled angrily while holding the receipt.

Chang Zilong was also trembling with anger. He had thought that the soldiers would cause harm to things, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

With so much meat, the entire Xiang barracks could not eat so much in a year before, but they were reimbursed for it in one meal.

No need to ask, if you go to the place where the soldiers buried pots and cook food now, you will definitely see a lot of abandoned food.

"A group of bastards, starve them for a day tomorrow!"

"What's the use of starving them? Can food be starved? They still have to march, how can they walk if they don't have enough to eat?" Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "You still think about it, how should you compensate them?"

"Compensation?" Chang Zilong's lips trembled.

It was the first time for their barracks to be so rich, and it was really reluctant to set out with enough rations for half a month!
"Why, you don't want to?" Jiang Xiaobai snorted and said, "How much food did you bring with you?"

Chang Zilong bowed his head in fright, and said, "About... [-] catties!"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "When we set off tomorrow, no one will carry enough rations for three days, and the rest will be allocated to them! Including the few pigs and sheep, the cows that pull the carts, and the horses that can't be used for fighting at all!"

"Ah!" Chang Zilong trembled in distress.

"Ah!" The old man Zhao Hu was also trembling, and quickly waved his hands and said, "My lord can't force it, just give us some food, we dare not take army horses, cattle and sheep!"

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

This is a financial loss. Thousands of pots, pans, pots and pans were lost, hundreds of clothes, shoes and socks were lost. In addition, thousands of copper coins, more than ten taels of silver, and several pieces of gold and silver jewelry were reported. Zhao Hu gave an appraisal About 100 taels.

A village was looted bitterly, except for food, the rest of the loss was only ten taels of silver, it was really poor.

Both are poor, why should the poor make things difficult for the poor?

But Jiang Xiaobai looked back at the soldiers standing outside the grain drying yard, but he was very angry. Many of them were wearing stolen clothes, and some of them were obviously wearing women's clothes.

The things were stolen, and it was not impossible to force these soldiers to retreat, but it was too time-consuming.

Jiang Xiaobai sighed, and said, "Old man, the discount is 200 taels of silver, what do you think?"

"200 taels?" Zhao Hu's eyes lit up. He knew that many of them reported false accounts. If there were really 200 taels of compensation, it would be equivalent to earning money.

"The army is going out, and there is no silver tael for the time being!" Jiang Xiaobai reached out for the other party's brush, wrote an IOU on the bill, handed it to Zhao Hu, and said, "Within three days, at most five days, I will send 200 taels of silver delivered!"

"So, thank you sir!" Zhao Hu's excited expression suddenly went out, and he spoke very reluctantly.

It turns out that no cash is given, and you will send it back after you leave, the devil would believe it!

The third bill was for the loss of houses. A total of [-] houses were completely burned down, including five in Zhao Hu's house, seven that were damaged and unfit for living, and three pigpens that were pushed to the ground.

"Old man, why didn't you calculate the loss?" Jiang Xiaobai shook the bill.

Zhao Hu sighed: "It's impossible to calculate. There are furniture, beds and bedding in the house. In addition, the cost of building a house is different from spending money to buy a house."

"Then... How about a discount of 1000 taels?" Jiang Xiaobai tentatively reported a number.

"It doesn't take that much!" Zhao Hu said: "Take the house of the little old man as an example. If the villagers help, it can be built in a month. It only needs to provide food for more than 50 people for a month. Cut some wood nearby, four or fifty taels are enough."

It turns out that the house is so cheap!

Jiang Xiaobai picked up the pen again, ready to write the IOU on the bill, and said, "Then count it as 1000 taels, three days later..."

Before the pen fell down, Jiang Xiaobai noticed a helpless wry smile on Zhao Hu's face, and his eyes were a little sad.

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned, it seemed that he didn't believe it!

Think about it too, who wouldn't be able to make IOUs, how can there be real money to make people feel at ease?

Forget it, let's give them a reassurance!

"Old man later, I'll go and get the money for you, and I'll be back at dawn!" Jiang Xiaobai stopped writing the IOU, and returned the pen and paper to Zhao Hu, then turned around and got on the motorcycle, shouting: "Often Zilong, do you know what you should do?"

Chang Zilong bowed and saluted: "May the immortal master show me?"

"The whole army!" Jiang Xiaobai started the motorcycle, turned around on the spot, and headed south.
