Wang Yongji was stunned and looked at Fang Yuegong in a daze, not realizing what the number he said meant.
"Oh no, more than 400 people died on the way here. How many people were there exactly?"
"Four hundred and nine people." Wang Yongji said subconsciously.
Fang Yuegong continued to ask, "Your Majesty has stipulated that each person who died in battle will receive 50 taels of silver as compensation, and for each higher rank, an additional 2 taels will be given.
