It is very difficult to raise an army, especially to maintain an elite cavalry of a hundred thousand. The resources required are extremely vast, and this can be seen from the fact that even though Wei Jinfeng controls an entire state, he can only maintain three hundred thousand Beiliang Army.
It's almost like a gold-devouring behemoth.
However, recruiting soldiers for the army is unavoidable.
Whether to conquer the world or govern it, Chen Yuan needs a large army.
He alone can hold a prefecture or even a state, but what about the world? Merely relying on personal prestige is not enough to hold the realm securely, so he must train a cavalry loyal to him from the weak beginning.
As for the expenses incurred, Chen Yuan had long set his sights on the southern aristocratic families and the sects with hundreds of years of heritage, as they are the best granaries.
Having existed for hundreds of years, they are just right to make a wedding dress for him.
