Chapter Seventy-Three: Back to the Castle
After the captured bandits were taken into custody separately, nearly an hour later, Li Xiaofang led people to count all the seizures. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A sergeant diligently reported to Li Xiao: "Lord Li, in the warehouse of Goutouling, a total of three hundred and fifty-three taels of gold were found, one hundred taels were full colored gold, and the rest were eight cents of gold and seven cents of gold. The silver deposit is 5,468 taels, and the full-colored silver is all official ingots, with the official seal, all of which are 521 ingots of large ingots, a total of 1,550 taels, and the rest are folded silver, and the official ingots are few, a total of 2,450 taels, and the rest are scattered silver of various colors. β
The excited sergeant spoke eagerly, and coughed unconsciously, Li Xiao had a smile on his face and motioned for him to continue.
The sergeant slowed down, and then hurriedly said: "In addition, all kinds of silk brocade were found in the warehouse, all of which were of the best southern goods, totaling as many as 1,230 horses. In addition, in the rice warehouse, there are more than 2,800 stones of rice grain, including 1,600 stones of flour, 900 stones of rice, and 300 stones of sorghum. There are also swords in the arsenalγγγγγγ β
Li Xiao was very happy in his heart, with such a rich capture, this battle against bandits was really profitable.
Li Xiao had already listened to the data he wanted to hear the most, so he interrupted him and said, "It's okay, there's no need to say it anymore." After you wait for the quick counting, they will be sealed separately, and after dawn tomorrow, all of them will be shipped back to Chifeng Castle. β
The sergeant took the order and left. Li Xiao then immediately gave a group of soldiers, as in the past, rewards and pensions.
Several soldiers who died in the battle were each given a pension of 30 taels of silver to their families.
If a seriously wounded soldier can be saved, depending on the degree of disability, a bereavement pension of 10 to 20 taels of silver will be given, and if he cannot be saved, a bereavement pension of 30 taels of silver will also be given.
For lightly wounded soldiers, depending on the condition of each person's injuries, each person will be given a bereavement pension of 3 to 5 taels of silver.
All the soldiers participating in the battle, because the combat mission is easy, each person will be given a battle reward of 3 taels of silver. The soldiers who participated in the cliff-climbing battle, including six subordinates of Monk An, were rewarded with 10 taels of silver each for their outstanding achievements and achievements.
Li Xiao stipulated that the battle reward and the bereavement pension for the dead and wounded in battle could be superimposed.
That is to say, the soldiers who died in the cliff climbing battle, in addition to the pension of 30 taels of silver, also participated in the battle of 10 taels of silver, a total of 40 taels.
Mo Changrong, Duan Shidi's two sentinels, and Wang Yishou, the captain of the Flying Harrier, and Zhao Jie, the chief of firearms, each received 30 taels of silver. The captain of each team of shield soldiers and spearmen will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver, the deputy captain will be rewarded with 15 taels of silver, the first captain will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver, and the deputy captain will be rewarded with 6 taels.
And the monk Na'an, Li Xiao gave him a reward of 60 taels of silver, which was a special reward for his work in reporting the news and leading the way, and then gave him the fine iron armor worn by one eye.
After everyone received the reward and the bereavement, they were all beaming with joy and jubilation. Monk An's face, which was full of meat, smiled even more, and the hateful scar seemed to be shaking with the muscles jumping and jumping.
Sitting alone in the cleared Hidden Cloud Cave, my heart was surging and uncontrollable.
Now this squatting dog mountain is finally completely in his own hands.
So, what should I do with this place next?
According to the practice of many time-traveling novels, after the goods here are moved, they are completely discarded.
Li Xiao didn't want to do that.
This squatting dog mountain, the terrain is so dangerous, and it is so difficult to capture, if after withdrawing, another group of bandits will reoccupy this place, then today's hard work will not be in vain.
Besides, his own Chifeng Fort is so close to this place, if he easily gives away this strategic place, and his fundamental territory is threatened again, Li Xiao thinks that he is not stupid enough to do so.
He was thinking, although this squatting dog mountain, although it is only more than two miles in radius, it may not have other uses. Li Xiao planned to let Wu Liang bring people here to explore and see what minerals and the like could be mined, so as to make the best use of the things in the Squatting Dog Mountain.
At dawn the next day, Li Xiao had sent someone to urgently repair the broken Qingteng Bridge overnight and tie it firmly.
After leaving a group of spearmen to stay behind and guard the prisoners, Li Xiao led the whole army back to Chifeng Fort.
This was Li Xiaojun's first victory after coming to Shandong, and the whole army was full of joy, and on the way back, the military song was loud and loud, reaching into the sky.
When they returned to Chifeng Fort, these soldiers found that all the craftsmen and family members in the fort were smiling at themselves with admiration and appreciation. And the rest of the soldiers who were not selected for this battle looked at themselves with envy and jealousy.
It's a good feeling to win.
Soon, Wu Liang took a group of personnel to move gold, silver, silk, grain and other things into the newly vacated straw house, and after the inventory, Wu Liang told Li Xiao a report that made him happy.
At present, there are 14,323 taels of gold, more than 265,000 taels of silver, more than 1,230 horses of silk, nearly 3,000 stones of various types of grain, and a number of special products left by Li Xiao last time.
Li Xiao suppressed the joy in his heart and told Wu Liang to let him take people to the Squatting Dog Mountain as soon as possible to find out what minerals can be mined in the local area, so that the Squaing Dog Mountain can be used to the fullest.
Wu Liang received the order, and then took Chang Dali, the leader of the craftsmen, and others to go to Squatting Dog Mountain to investigate.
Until this time, Li Xiaofang felt that his originally numb hands were stinging again.
Li Xiao immediately went to Chen Mazi Medical Center for treatment.
After entering, I saw that Zu Wan'er was bandaging the wound of a wounded soldier with Chen Mazi.
This Zu Wan'er, since she came to Chifeng Castle, Li Xiao originally didn't arrange things for her, but she kept begging Li Xiao to ask for things to be arranged, Li Xiao was helpless, so she simply let her go to Chen Mazi Medical Hall to learn some medical skills and be a helper, so as not to make her bored every day.
Unexpectedly, Zu Wan'er was very interested in this healing work, and she was also serious about her work, which impressed Chen Mazi and several men.
"Master Li, your hands, fortunately, did not hurt the bones, but most of the muscles and tendons were injured, Wan'er, you take him to the side room, first pick out the stone spikes embedded in the flesh in his hands, and then bring them over for me to give him medicine."
Chen Mazi looked at Li Xiao's hands carefully, and then instructed Zu Wan'er on the side.
After Chen Mazifang finished speaking, Zu Wan'er, who had a look of concern on her face, hurriedly took Li Xiao to the side room.
Li Xiao followed Zu Wan'er into the side room, and saw a large cabinet standing inside, which was full of some surgical knives, clips, tweezers, white cloth and other accessories.
The two sat across the table at a table in front of the cabinet.
The other guys didn't follow, and there were only two people in the room who were silent.
Zu Wan'er's white and delicate left hand was gently held on Li Xiao's rough and swollen hand, and Li Xiao suddenly felt that the softest place in his strong and powerful heart was touched.
"Does it hurt?" Zu Wan'er asked with concern.
"It doesn't hurt." Li Xiao smiled: "When I see you, it doesn't hurt at all." β
Zu Wan'er glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "Li Xiao, do you know how worried I am about you when you go on this expedition?" β
"I know, with Wan'er's concern, Li Xiao is so lucky." Li Xiao looked directly into her clear eyes, and his eyes were full of affection.
"Li Xiao, to be honest, I don't expect you to be an official or do anything big now, I just hope that you can return safely, and Wan'er will be at ease." Zu Wan'er sighed softly, her eyes staring at Li Xiao's hands covered with blood and sand and gravel, and her face was full of distress.
"Don't worry, Li is outside, he has his own measure, and it will be fine, Wan'er, don't worry." Li Xiao gave her a warm smile in return.
Zu Wan'er stopped talking, lowered her head and carefully picked out the sand and gravel in Li Xiao's hand.
The room was quiet, except for the occasional faint and pleasant jingle of stones thrown on the porcelain plate.
Li Xiao vaguely smelled the intoxicating aroma like blue musk deer emanating from Zu Wan'er's body, he controlled the excitement in his heart, and silently looked at Wan'er who was holding a sharp knife in his right hand, and gently and quickly removed the stones and spikes embedded in the flesh in his hand one by one, and picked them in a small porcelain plate next to him.
Nearly half an hour later, Zu Wan'er finished picking the stones for Li Xiao with both hands, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, shining with a warm and alluring golden luster under the sunlight that cast herself through the window lattice.
Li Xiao used a towel to wipe her sweat distressedly, and Zu Wan'er was like a kitten, closing her eyes and letting him finish wiping it.
"Li Xiao, I've been away from Jinzhou for more than a month, I really miss my father and mother."
Zu Wan'er's muttering made Li Xiao's heart shrink suddenly.
Yes, I have been away from Jinzhou for so long, and I don't know what the current situation in Jinzhou is.
Li Xiao looked out the window and looked north, but he could only see the gray sky, connected to the empty horizon, like a chaotic one.
(Thank you for the reward, and thank you for your encouragement and support.) οΌ
