Since he has followed me quietly, I must make use of his value.
"Almost done, go back and report to the governor."
"Let's talk about the Feihuoshan catastrophe, disaster relief and the elimination of remaining bandits."
"Xia Lihong can bring people to count the property now."
The bailiff nodded and immediately ran to the back.
After another stick of incense, the battle at Feihuoshan Mountain was completely over.
Liu Feng took Da Zhuang for a walk up the mountain.
The huge platform on the mountain is not small, covering several football fields. Even if the General Ridge falls, there is still a large area of flat land.
But the main things were concentrated on the platform on Jiangjunling, and they were all damaged at this time.
I'm afraid that what the governor Xia Lihong wants will have to be picked up bit by bit from the gravel on the riverbank.
This has nothing to do with Liu Feng, right?
We are suppressing bandits, and this loss is not intentional.
What Liu Feng promised at the beginning was to wipe out the bandits, but he didn't say that all the supplies would be returned to you intact.
After searching the mountain, I didn't see any Lin Ziyi or other leaders.
All the ancient monuments have fallen to pieces.
Liu Feng had no intention of looking for these things. He directed everyone to move down the mountain whatever could be moved and dumped them all on the side of the riverbank.
Then the head count began.
After this battle, a total of 648 people survived, which was much better than Liu Feng had imagined.
Among them, there are about half hooligans and half honest people.
Liu Feng was very satisfied with these people. The next step was to collect the rewards according to the spoils of war. The loose change had already been prepared.
As for these ruffians, Liu Feng was still considering whether to let them join the Tiger Roar Army.
After all, these people have bad character, and he is afraid that it will have an impact on the entire army. As for these honest farmers, this is what Liu Feng needs.
When the spoils were finally counted, three people had more than ten taels of silver.
These three men killed the most enemies and fought bravely.
But these three people have one thing in common, that is, they are all thugs.
And when Liu Feng was counting, he discovered a problem. They were pooling together the spoils that originally belonged to their own team in order to get more bounty.
Finally, he went back and divided it among his younger brothers, and the majority of the money went to the three bosses.
However, Liu Feng would not bring it up at this time and would turn a blind eye.
No matter what, he helped to deal with the bandits in Feihuoshan. There was no credit, only hard work. This was the money they paid for their lives, and it shouldn't be reduced.
Moreover, the value of annihilating Feihuoshan Mountain this time is not only the reward of 1,500 taels of silver from the government office, but also the other ancillary values that are immeasurable.
The premise of becoming bigger and stronger is not to calculate too clearly, but to look at the long term.
Liu Feng gave money to all the thugs who came with the spoils.
But there are not many of them, and most of them are only one or two thumbs.
After paying off these people, the only ones left are the honest people.
They were honest and would not rob their companions of their spoils, so they got even less. The most they got was only three taels of silver, and many people only got a few coins.
Even if it was just a copper coin, Liu Feng would honestly give it to the other party. These common people had a hard time, and he would not give up just because the money was too little. He would even give the full amount if it was not enough.
The people cannot be bullied.
Liu Feng would whisper a few words in the ears of every citizen who came to claim the reward.
Basically, few people left, and they were all waiting obediently.
After everyone received their rewards, there were still about 400 people left. In addition to those honest people, there were also some thugs who didn't know why and stayed to watch the fun.
"Okay, since you're all staying, that means you're willing to follow me to the New River Crossing."
"Those of you who have wives, children, and elderly people at home, please register with Chief Escort Wu."
"Someone will pick them up and take them over tomorrow."
When they heard that they were going to move to Xinhedu, many of the gangsters left immediately.
They would never go to such remote places. In Youzhou City, they could still find ways to eat half full.
Seeing the gangster An Xie sneaking away, Liu Feng laughed. This was the result he wanted.
Afterwards, Wu San Tong was responsible for getting everyone's consent to register.
Not long after, a team came towards this side from the direction of Youzhou City.
The leader among them was the governor Xia Lihong.
I heard that after wiping out Feihuoshan, Liu Cun had left behind seven or eight hundred people, which made Xia Lihong uneasy.
After leaving the city, he met many people walking back along the way. They were holding silver in their arms and were all smiling happily. Xia Lihong felt very dissatisfied.
Why hadn't he thought of using these people to suppress the bandits before?
When he arrived at the mountain pass and saw the piles of corpses, Xia Lihong almost dropped his jaw in shock.
"He truly deserves to be the ruthless man who led the Tiger Roar Army to defeat the Northern Barbarians."
"Xia admires me."
Xia Lihong dismounted and bowed respectfully to Liu Feng.
He didn't know Liu Feng's background before, and Zhou Wanggui didn't explain it clearly when he came to act as a guarantor.
I checked Liu Feng's background yesterday and was shocked.
"You are too polite, Master Xia."
"It's just an empty title given by the people."
Liu Feng waved his hand with a smile.
"This is not just an empty reputation."
Xia Lihong waved his hands, walked to the edge of the cliff and took a look.
He had already asked Liu Feng how to deal with Feihuoshan.
When the yamen runner went back to report, he stated very clearly that Liu Feng had burned the place for one day and two nights, and then the entire Jiangjun Ridge was inexplicably destroyed.
It’s not the runner’s fault that he didn’t see clearly. At that time, the runner was taken to the upper part by Wu San Tong, and he didn’t know about the water being poured below.
Therefore, even now, Xia Lihong still has not figured out how Liu Feng caused the General Ridge, which had stood for hundreds of years, to be burned and collapsed.
This is a bit unbelievable.
Could it be that this guy is good at calculating and has calculated that Jiangjun Ridge will collapse within this period of time, and he just set fire to it to make it look like it?
It was all for the reward of 1,500 taels of silver.
But with fifteen hundred taels of silver, apart from the commercial silver, we also bought so much grain and rice, so there wouldn't be much left.
It was originally said that those who survived would be taken back, but so many people were released along the way.
What exactly does Liu Feng want?
It’s not that Xia Lihong doesn’t understand, it’s that he really can’t see it.
"Master Liu, this General Ridge has stood for hundreds of years. It's said to have absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon. The bandits were able to thrive because they gained the spiritual energy of General Ridge. How on earth did you cause it to collapse?"
"This is very simple. Heat expands and cold contracts. Burn it with fire, then pour cold water on it, and it will fall down on its own."
"Thermal expansion and cold contraction? Heat? Pour cold water on it?"
Xia Lihong was completely confused.
Liu Feng chuckled.
"The reason is simple. During the fire, the stone expands internally. But when cold water is poured on it, the reaction inside the stone becomes even more intense, damaging the foundation and causing it to collapse naturally."
