C279 Chang zilong's dilemma

"Bang bang bang bang!" Before Chang Zilong even finished speaking, a few soldiers beside Jiang Xiaobai had already fallen.

The speed was so fast that they didn't even have time to draw their sabers.

"Kill!" Hearing the shouts, five soldiers who were hiding behind the screen rushed out while roaring.

But they were completely dumbfounded, because not only did they see four of their comrades lying on the ground, even Lord Douyuhou had fallen down.

"Who do you want to die?" Jiang Xiaobai stepped on Chang Zilong's shoulder and laughed out loud.

In the instant that Chang Zilong's face changed, Jiang Xiaobai knew that he was going to attack, so he attacked first.

Two seconds later, he knocked down the few fellows beside him.

With just a single leap, he jumped to the side of the table, and before his hand could return, stunned Chang Zilong had pulled it out from behind his back and stepped on it.

This was power!

This was speed!

"Calm down, you brave warrior, calm down!" Chang Zilong struggled, but discovered that he seemed to be stepping on a mountain, he knew that he was not a match, and immediately said: "I, I am just joking."

"Are you kidding?" Jiang Xiaobai laughed coldly: "Ambushing my blade and axe, trying to kill me, is just a joke!"

"It's really a joke. Master Bao is my father's friend, then he is my junior's elder. How could I dare to be disrespectful to you!" Chang Zilong's face was filled with sincerity, and his words sounded as if he was speaking the truth.

Jiang Xiaobai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Master Bao, it's also their good fortune that these unskilled subordinates of mine are able to cheer you up. Master Bao, your kung fu is truly amazing, taking the general's head in the midst of a cavalry army of ten thousand is like picking a bag of trash, admiring, admiring! " Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai did not say a word, Chang Zilong worked even harder.

Jiang Xiaobai was even more speechless.

"Go down, go down, you useless things, you can't even compare to one of Master Bao's fingers. "Practice hard in the future, don't embarrass yourself when you're on the field." Chang Zilong licked his face and said: "Quickly tell the kitchen to prepare a good feast. I want to get drunk with Master Bao."

More than ten axes and blades were scared and frightened at the same time as they tried to escape.

Therefore, after confirming that there was no one else within twenty meters of him, he lifted his leg and mocked: "With trash like you, how did you become a Duyu?"

Chang Zilong got up, kowtowed towards Jiang Xiaobai, and then retreated four or five steps back. With an embarrassed look on his face, he said: "To tell you the truth, Master Bao said that I, as a Duyu, bought this with money."

"A buyer?" Jiang Xiaobai frowned, he truly did not want to believe that a general leading a soldier could still buy it with money.

In the Song Dynasty, we all respect literature," Chang Zong said brightly. "The emperor of the capital, Yu Hou, is just a lowly military official. Anyone who has read a few days' worth of books will look down on him and pay for him. Moreover, there were many wars in the north and a large number of refugees were pouring in, so they could think of a way to settle them. To tell you the truth, I, Yu Hou, am actually a foreman. We need to build bridges, pave the roads, and repair the city walls. We need to plant land during the day, and we also need to train during our leisure times. It's so bitter!

Jiang Xiaobai shouted, "Why did you spend money to buy it?"

"It is indeed a little tough, but at least he's an official. In the past few hundred years, our Chang Clan has never had an official before." Chang Zilong smiled bitterly and said: "You are Old Master's friend, this junior will not hide it from you. Actually... Managing Xiang Army is still a bit of an easy task. "

If there was no profit in drafting it, the truth would be revealed!

Jiang Xiaobai asked: "What is it?"

"This …" Chang Zilong rubbed his hands together, wanting to say something but hesitated.

"I still haven't said I'll let you go!" Jiang Xiaobai stared at the door and snorted.

Chang Zilong trembled and hurriedly said, "Master Bao, don't be in such a rush. I will speak, I will speak. Actually... "It's like taking some out of the soldiers' mouths."

"What are some?"

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai's sharp gaze, Chang Zilong began to sweat profusely on his forehead, and said: "It's not much, a soldier is worth fifteen kilograms of brown rice per month, and the total salary is fifty gold. If you pay it all in full, it can be deducted by a third, and you can even report a few more placings. After a year, there would always be … Two or three thousand slots. "

Two or three thousand slots was two or three thousand taels of silver. This was more than just hard work; it was obviously a waste.

Fifteen kilograms of rice a month could only maintain half of a full body's capacity, yet he still had to take down a third of it. This was completely disregard for the life and death of the soldiers!

No wonder the soldiers and lackeys were all skin and bones in the 'C' battalion. In fact, they were even worse than beggars!

"What else?" Jiang Xiaobai believed that this was not the only thing he coveted.

"As for everything else …" Chang Zilong looked at Jiang Xiaobai, and said: "Master Bao already knows."

Jiang Xiaobai's heart trembled. "You're saying that the grain depot is made of new rice for old rice?"

"New rice is worth one stone, old rice is worth one stone. When we set off this time, the manor promised three thousand stone meters of rice. After calculating, we will get one hundred and fifty thousand more. " Chang Zilong looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said: "Originally, no one knew, but I never expected Master Bao to discover it, so …"

"You want to kill me?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare! I'm just joking!" Chang Zilong's face thickened again.

Jiang Xiaobai was furious, he had ran for over 10 miles without caring about the danger and sent a message to the army camp, but he did not expect Yue Yang to be the mastermind.

What was the use of keeping such a corrupt official who regarded human life?

"How preposterous!" Jiang Xiaobai bellowed, and instantly appeared in front of Chang Zilong, grabbing him by the neck.

"Master Bao, please report that I have a crush on you!" Chang Zilong trembled and shouted: "I … I was also unable to do anything about it! "

"There are other masterminds?" Jiang Xiaobai became even more furious, and was prepared to become a hero and kill all of these corrupt officials.

"Since the establishment of the Cantonment Camp, it has always been this way. I merely took advantage of it!" Chang Zilong struggled to answer: "The soldiers are not human, no one cares about one more, thus the grain merchants, the government, Forbidden Army, and even the previous border armies all have this idea. "Although it seems like I'll get an extra 150,000 for exchanging foodstuffs, it's only 50,000 for me."

"Fifty thousand yuan should be killed as well!" Jiang Xiaobai raised his left hand and prepared to smash the top of his head.

"But …" I did it for the sake of my Xiang Army! "

"Kripping off the military rations and letting the soldiers eat the mildewed rice, is this for their own good?"

"Master Bao greets you!" Chang Zilong's feet hung in the air, he was so scared that he was about to cry, and said: "Although the mildew is bad, it's still food. A, B, and C, along with their close to five thousand family members, were all extremely hungry. Right now, they only wanted to eat their fill, they did not want to have any good food at all! With an extra fifty thousand dollars, I can buy a few hundred stone worth of food, enough for them to last until the harvest ends! "

Jiang Xiaobai was startled: "You want to buy them food?"

"It's not just about buying food. I also want to buy clothes and weapons for this expedition!" Chang Zilong choked on his sobs: "It's a real battle this time, I can't possibly lead a group of soldiers with a hoe and wooden sticks to rush forward bare-bottomed!"

"Why do you still want to buy weapons?"
