"Papa...Daddy..."

"Ba ba...ba ba"

It is said that because "dad" is the easiest word to pronounce, nine out of ten babies' first word is "dad". But Qin Mo doesn't think so. He thinks it's because his two sons think their dad is handsome!

"Does Your Highness mean to ask about our directly subordinate troops... or should we include the patrol teams of the pioneering expeditions?"

"Even if the military can mobilize troops, how many are there now?"

After returning home, Qin Mo played with her two sons who could already crawl, while casually asking the two women beside her how much money she had, how many people she had, and how many guns she had.

After Qin Mo went to Xizhou, Kaihime and Lin Ruoxi divided their tasks. Kaihime controlled the deployment and specific information of the Dayuan army through the military, while Lin Ruoxi controlled the civilian workshops and fleets of Dayuan.

Kaihime thought for a moment and then said, "The army consists of three hundred men per brigade, five brigades make up a battalion, and three to five battalions make up a regiment. Currently, there are thirty-three regiments of infantry directly under the command of the military, totaling about 160,000 men."

"The navy has three fleets directly under the command of the military: the Taiwan Navy Fleet, the South Sea Fleet, and the Indian Fleet. There are about 280 frigates of various sizes, but very few first-class ships. There are only 17 at present, but the shipyard is speeding up construction."

"As for the Frontier Administration's guard force... Kai only knows that they applied for 110,000 rifles a few days ago, which means... at least 110,000 soldiers."

"Oh! So we now have a total of 300,000 infantrymen!" Qin Mo was surprised because when he conquered India two years ago, he didn't have even half of that number.

"Actually, if Your Highness wants to expand the army... it's very easy, because these people are all veterans who have been trained for a long time. As long as there is money, it is quite normal to double the size."

With the widespread use of rifles, training an infantryman has become increasingly easier. There's no need for a wide variety of skills or to practice complex formations; you just need to line up, load your ammunition, and fire.

"Ruoxi, how much money do we have?"

Lin Ruoxi's face immediately fell, and she said with a pained expression, "I...I don't know how much money our family has..."

"Huh? You busybody don't even know how much money we have?"

"Because I have too much money...too many jewels...too much gold and silver...I...I calculate it by the houses."

Lin Ruoxi said very carefully, "Our family has the gold of twenty-six houses... the jewels of seven houses... and the silver of more than two hundred houses... I... haven't counted the rest carefully..."

Looking at her dazed little girl mother, Qin Mo sighed helplessly and said, "It's terrible to be uneducated. You can't even count money... Starting tomorrow, you'll start learning how to count money properly with me!"
