Chapter 327 The Price of a Life
3 Fifty Chapters The Price of a Life
"Compensation for the deceased?" Zhao Hu staggered and fell down again, dropping the silver box he had just picked up.

The white silver was scattered on the ground, and everyone's eyes lit up when they saw it.

"Why are you nervous?" Jiang Xiaobai helped pick up the money, and said, "When I left just now, didn't you have a list of casualties? I remember it stated that 24 people were killed, 11 were slightly injured, and one was seriously injured. .Also, there are no 13 dead bodies, right?"

"Only... only our people?" Zhao Hu glanced at the soldiers around him.

Jiang Xiaobai understood that the reason why Zhao Hu was afraid was because the Xiang soldiers also suffered casualties.

Although this was a muddled account, but if it was really called out, Xiang Bing's side made a big opening, and the 2000 taels of silver he just got would probably be gone, or even paid upside down.

Jiang Xiaobai explained: "Of course it's only your compensation. As for the brothers Xiang Bing, the burial expenses and family pension, I will pay separately, and you don't have to bear it."

"So that's how it is." Zhao Hu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I discussed it with Lord Du Yuhou just now, and we should follow the rules of Xiangbing."

"The rules of the Xiangbing?" Jiang Xiaobai turned to Chang Zilong.

Chang Zilong quickly said: "Whether the Xiang soldiers go out to fight, whether they are killed or injured, the imperial court will provide compensation."

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and asked, "What standard?"

Chang Zilong said: "Ordinary soldiers killed in battle, if they have family members, they can get [-] yuan as a pension, [-] yuan for the team leader, [-] yuan for the army leader, and [-] yuan for the head of a hundred people. If you are injured, you can get compensation according to the severity of the injury." , the healing money fluctuates between one hundred and five thousand."

"What you said is true?" Jiang Xiaobai couldn't believe his ears.

The life of an ordinary soldier is only worth three thousand copper coins, which is only three or four taels of silver, which is not as valuable as a pig.

The fate of Xiang soldiers is so cheap, it's no wonder no one treats them as human beings, no wonder the rulers still try to send them to death.

Eating a meal in Wangbei Tower with Master Bu is enough to buy the lives of dozens of soldiers!
"This is a rule that has been enforced for decades. I used to lead troops to fight, and there were casualties. It was calculated according to this standard." Chang Zilong smiled wryly, and in his heart he also felt that Xiang Bing's life was too cheap.

Jiang Xiaobai really wanted to ask, if you, Du Yuhou, were killed in battle, how much would the court pay for you.

But looking at Chang Zilong's depressed mood, Jiang Xiaobai was too embarrassed to touch the bad luck, so he asked, "These are those with family members, what about the ones without family members?"

Chang Zilong said: "If you don't have family members, you'll die. Just find a place to bury it."

"How could this be?" Jiang Xiaobai panicked and didn't speak for a long time.

Chang Zilong looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "I discussed it with Uncle Zhao just now. Since there were casualties on both sides, and eleven more died in the village, we just need to pay them [-] yuan!"

Zhao Hu also said cautiously: "Your Excellency is kind, you have already given us so much money, the extra [-] money, you don't have to."

Zhao Hu was satisfied. He thought he would be thankful if he could pay a few hundred taels of silver, but now that he got 2000 taels, even the family members of the deceased can't say anything.

"No!" Jiang Xiaobai stood up and said, "This rule must be broken. Human life is at stake, how can a few copper coins make up for it?"

"My lord?" Zhao Hu trembled in fright.

Jiang Xiaobai took out the coin, counted 5000 taels from it, handed it to Zhao Hu, and said, "Uncle Zhao, this is Qian Yin. Five thousand min can be exchanged for four or five thousand taels of silver. Take it, half of it." It will be used to support the families of the victims, and half will be used to treat the injured."

"Qian Yin, five thousand min?" Zhao Hu turned out to be someone who had seen Qian Yin, and was so excited that he was almost speechless.

"Immortal Master, isn't this...too much?" Chang Zilong couldn't help but said, "The starting fee for the army is only 3000 taels. If there is no immortal master, it is estimated that only 1000 taels will be deducted. 5000 Two taels of silver are enough to feed the three battalions of Xiangbing A, B and C, together with their families, for three months!"

"Hey, look at how promising you are!" Old Pang beside him sneered and said, "How can you say that you are also a general who leads troops, and according to the number of troops you lead, you can be regarded as a regiment-level one. You are nervous for such a small amount of money." Remember, follow my master from now on, as long as you are loyal, let alone 5000 taels, it is 5 taels, 50 taels, and it is just a small amount of money!"

In Chang Zilong's heart, Lao Pang is also a god, and his words are equally important.

Chang Zilong was stunned for a moment, and then a joyful expression appeared on his face, and he said quickly: "Master Immortal, forgive me, this subordinate is talking too much. How to make compensation, Master Immortal will decide with one word!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, gave the money forward, and said, "Uncle Zhao, take it?"

Zhao Hu was as if petrified, his body was motionless, and he couldn't even feel his breathing.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Why, you don't think it's too little? If you don't think it's too little, you can discuss it. I know that in a place, even if one person dies, the compensation will be..."

"Hi!" Suddenly, Zhao Hu's body trembled, as if his life had returned, and he knelt on the ground and said loudly: "My lord, hiccup, you are the great benefactor of our Zhao family shack, hiccup, give us so much Money, hiccup... we... the whole village will set up a shrine for you... hiccup!"

The stimulation was too great, his mind went blank just now, as if he had done it, but he kept hiccupping.

"There is no need for the Lisheng Temple, I can't afford it!" Jiang Xiaobai smiled and helped Zhao Hu up, put the money into his hand, and said, "This is the money to accompany you. In addition, I will bring you money." something."

"What else?" Zhao Hu's body softened and he almost fell to the ground again.

"Jinhua, don't support your grandfather yet!" Jiang Xiaobai called Jinhua over, then turned around and got into the car, and together with Lao Pang, dropped more than ten huge packages.

"These bastards robbed you of a lot of clothes, this is to compensate you!" Jiang Xiaobai opened a bag, pointed to the clothes inside and said, "They are not good clothes, you just wear them."

What is not a good thing, as long as anyone has eyes, they can immediately see that these clothes, no matter the color, pattern or fabric, are never seen before, and they are much better than the ones they are wearing.

"I'm dreaming... hiccup... I must be dreaming!" Zhao Hu burst into tears, ran to the village staggeringly, and shouted: "Come on, come out... hiccup... live The Bodhisattva is sending you money... hiccup... and clothes!"

In an instant, fires lit up in the dark village, and the villagers supported each other and began to gather towards the sun-drying field!
Looking at the hesitant, sad, angry, timid, and even hateful faces, Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and sighed, turned to Chang Zilong, and said seriously: "Assemble the army, I want to organize the army! "
