Xie Yu's words were inevitably a bit indifferent.
It was a feeling of treating human life as nothing.
Including his hand holding Bai Xiaonan's shoulder, it was also a bit cold.
But Bai Xiaonan turned around and hugged Xie Yu's waist.
Although Bai Xiaonan said nothing, she expressed her gratitude to Xie Yu with practical actions.
The news of the execution of Wu Jingtong's entire family was confined to the small area of Yingzhou.
People in other places simply don’t know the news.
The leaders of each village were always paying attention to General Yu's whereabouts.
When they learned that General Yu Xiaonan had led people to ransack Wu Jingtong's home, everyone believed what Bai Xiaonan said before.
At the same time, I am also glad that I chose to pay to avoid disaster!
The day after General Yu arrived in Ta County, Yunying Village arranged for people to transport boxes of supplies to the Yunding Village site in accordance with the requirements in Bai Xiaonan's letter.
As for the 20,000 taels of silver notes, Liuzi also gave them to Xie Yu.
Xie Yu and General Yu Xiao met at the Huaxuan Club.
When Xie Yu placed the 20,000 taels of silver notes on the table in front of Yu Bai, Yu Bai just glanced at them and then silently put the banknotes into his arms.
"Why didn't Miss Bai come with you?"
Yu Bai asked about Bai Xiaonan's whereabouts.
Xie Yu said with a smile: "She went to 'track down' clues about the Wala people's property. After all, she was worried that the Wala people's things would be lost too much and would not be recovered."
General Yu Xiao laughed and said, "We can catch him back! Wu Jingtong alone is enough to pay for it!"
After that, General Yu Xiao and Xie Yu had a thorough discussion.
The magistrate of Ta County, a small county, actually copied out a huge amount of 180,000 taels of silver!
This number is staggering enough.
It really lives up to that sentence: Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver!
What's more, Wu Jingtong has been the county magistrate for more than three years!
"This time I cut off Wu Jingtong's head without going through the official department. Mr. Luo also endured a lot of pressure. Fortunately, Xu Yuanyu was in Beijing to help speak..."
"But Wu Jingtong was cut off, and the post of magistrate of Ta County became vacant. Then Xu Yuanyu also took the opportunity to fill in."
"I'm afraid Cao Jian's life will be difficult in the future. Although he is just a county magistrate, he has a big thigh! That Xu Yuanyu is the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, a third-grade official! And he is also in charge of the promotion of officials."
"Cao Jian wants to hate the new magistrate of the county. With just one sentence, Xu Yuanyu can keep Cao Jian in the position of magistrate for the rest of his life! Therefore, Wu Jingtong's money will not be divided with you! Deduct it and give it to you It belongs to the Wala people, and the remaining Luo Master also needs to take care of it."
Yu Bai can be regarded as a righteous man, and he specifically explained to Xie Yu how to distribute the "stolen money".
If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't even bother to explain.
Xie Yu smiled, but of course he had no intention of sharing the "stolen money".
During this period, Xie Yu got a lot of money.
So when he saw Yubai making money, he was not "jealous" at all.
After chatting for a while, Yu Bai picked up the wine glass and signaled to Xie Yu to just talk about Fengyue.
…
The next day, Yubai left Tatong County with the Datong rearguard and headed for the former "home" of Yunding Village.
Xie Yu and Bai Xiaonan had already disguised themselves as Yu Bai's personal guards and followed the team.
When they arrived at the entrance of Yunding Village, everyone could see traces of damage in the village. It was obvious that this village was deserted.
But no one in the army dared to talk or ask questions they shouldn't.
Yubai dismounted and entered the village with only a few dozen guards.
After walking for a while, I saw boxes of belongings neatly stacked in the small square.
There were also several large boxes of rough workmanship, with lime sprinkled all over the outside.
Yu Bai walked closer and opened the box.
Inside were a pile of human heads made of lime and a severed left ear.
After checking and making sure that there was no problem, Yu Bai smiled at Bai Xiaonan next to him, and then said to others: "Put your head on!"
"Pick up your ears!"
…
All the property that was robbed by the Wala people this time has been recovered.
According to Amul, this batch of property is worth at least one hundred thousand taels of silver.
But Xie Yu took a look at those things, such as fabrics, iron pots, various farm tools, etc. Most of them were daily necessities!
Xie Yu estimated that these things would be worth a little money if they were placed in Wala, but if they were to be worth a hundred thousand taels of silver, that would be a shame!
So giving them another hundred thousand taels of real money should be enough to satisfy Amul's appetite.
Of course, it has nothing to do with Xie Yu whether he is full or not.
He just needs to solve the crisis in the "Committee for Development and Response".
After bidding farewell to General Yu, Xie Yu and Bai Xiaonan also returned to Baishi Village.
After this crisis, it was obvious that the faces of the people in the village were relaxed.
Even Li Daniu and the others' work efficiency is not as good as before.
Of course, Xie Yu didn't accuse anyone of anything.
After all, no matter how tight the string is, it's time to relax.
Xie Yu asked his grandfather Zhou Yue to find out about the stockade's recent material reserves.
There are now more than 620 people in the village.
Converting meat consumption, the average person consumes three kilograms of rations per day.
That’s more than 1,800 kilograms a day.
The total consumption was more than thirteen taels of silver.
And how much money did Xie Yu make during this period?
I got more than 7,000 taels from Xie's family twice. After deducting the 2,000 taels spent on opening the meeting, there were still more than 5,000 taels left.
Later, 38,000 taels were obtained from Yunyingzhai, more than 2,000 taels for the Development Committee membership fee, and money from selling bows and arrows. All the zeros and zeros were added together, and there was still a balance of more than 51,000 taels!
More than 50,000 taels of silver...enough to keep the people in the village in peace for ten years!
Of course, the premise is that prices will not fluctuate greatly.
Xie Yu maintained a cautious attitude towards this.
Even Xie Yu's father, Xie Jin, suggested that Xie Yu exchange his silver notes into hard currency such as gold and silver or other practical materials when he had time.
Xie Yuanwai has been a landlord all his life, and he knows very well that this bank note is like a piece of paper when it comes to war.
Xie Yu accepted his father's suggestion.
The next day, Xie Yu took the banknotes and went down the mountain with Bai Xiaonan.
The silver number in Yingzhou City is larger than that in Ta County.
It is relatively convenient to exchange for silver.
Moreover, after the matter in Yunying Village was resolved, Xie Yu also wanted to find Yu Hua to contact these merchants again and tell them that they could pay the protection fee... No, it was the service fee.
When they arrived at Yu Hua's house, the servants told Xie Yu that Yu Hua and Miss Yu Wenjun were not at home.
The two of them went to listen to music at an inn owned by Yu's family.
So Xie Yu came to the inn again.
The inn was very lively, and all the tables were full of people.
Some people didn't have tables to sit at, so they stood in various corners of the inn.
A stage was set up directly north of the inn.
Someone is singing an opera up there.
But Xie Yu couldn't understand the content of the song. I just felt that it was very different from the Peking Opera he listened to in his previous life.
It was sung in time with jujube wood, and the other musicians played a variety of instruments.
The whole scene seemed extremely chaotic.
But even so, everyone in the entire inn listened with interest.
Xie Yu glanced around and saw Yu Hua and Yu Wenjun.
They were sitting in a private room on the second floor of the inn, watching the performance on the stage through the window of the private room.
But Yu Wenjun was obviously not very interested in this kind of performance.
While she was watching the performance, she was looking around boredly.
So when she saw Xie Yu's figure appearing in the inn, Yu Wenjun stood up excitedly and waved to Xie Yu below: "Thank you, brother!"
Yu Wenjun's shout directly drew everyone's attention to Xie Yu.
