Empire's Rise: Starting by Building a Fiefdom and Forging a Steel Dynasty!

An accident caused Li Xin to transmigrate to another world, becoming the third prince of the Great Gan Dynasty.

Looking at his fiefdom, which was covered in thousands of miles of ice and snow...

Chapter 56 The Defense of Dongning City (Part 2)

Not to mention the grassland bandits who were killed by bombs and crossbows in front of the trenches!

The harvest was indeed very bountiful!

However, the casualties on their own side were also considerable.

Thirty-seven infantrymen were killed in action, twenty-six Shenji and Shence battalions were killed, six Tiger Warriors were killed, and three Valiant Cavalry were killed.

In addition, 372 workers were lost across various work teams.

The enormous casualties still weighed heavily on Li Xin's mind.

"well!"

Li Xin looked distressed and shook his head, saying, "Whether they are soldiers of the Prince's Guard or members of various work teams, they should be treated equally!"

Each soldier who died in battle was given a pension of ten strings of cash, ten bushels of rice, ten bolts of cotton cloth, ten catties of meat, and ten catties of eggs.

Officers and work team leaders who died in battle received compensation according to their rank.

The compensation should be generous!

All families of fallen soldiers will have their current dependents promoted one rank!

We should treat them well!

Soldiers without families should also be given a proper burial!

Tell Liu Jingxuan to draft a set of compensation standards; we can't let the soldiers' spirits be dampened!

"yes!"

The guards around were also somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, the compensation for fallen soldiers was so generous.

Ten strings of cash—that's more than the annual salary of a fourth-level weaver!

This is a rare privilege in the entire city of Dongning!

Not to mention, there's also rice, cotton cloth, meat, and eggs!

These generous rewards were enough to warm everyone's hearts.

The soldiers around him, tears welling in their eyes, gazed at Li Xin. They all knew that following such a lord was their blessing!
