He then said.

"And this doesn't include the other two horses. A cavalry must have at least three horses to form a fighting force. One horse is used to carry equipment, one horse is used for daily walking, and one horse is used for fighting."

"The price of the other two horses is calculated separately. In addition, each cavalryman has two auxiliary soldiers. One is responsible for feeding and leading the horses, and the other is responsible for putting on armor for the cavalryman before the battle. These are not small amounts of money!"

Qian Ruoyu never thought that his endless stream of words would have such an effect.

If Luo Shanhai hadn't said that, she would have thought that she might have really underestimated the cost of the cavalry.

And from what he said, it means that the cost of one cavalryman is probably at least fifty taels of silver, and a large amount of it will be consumed every day.

Excluding the construction cost, the monthly expenditure is probably tens of thousands of taels of silver, right?

But she wanted cavalry even more. After all, if she had a thousand cavalry, it would mean that the soldiers under her command would be more powerful than those of the prince!

And she also thought of the Royal Guards, but there were no cavalry...

After seeing Qian Ruoyu's expression, Luo Shanhai said in shock.

"Your Majesty, you don't really want to form a cavalry... That would cost a lot of money. If I tell His Majesty, he will definitely not agree!"

But when she heard these words, she just smiled calmly.

"Who said I would tell His Majesty? Oh, Lord Luo, don't worry! This will cost a lot of money. Do you think I can afford it?"

"I just want to know how much it will cost. If it really costs that much, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it. After all, all the money in the palace has been taken away by the prince, and all the money I have is squeezed out from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War..."

Hearing her say this, Luo Shanhai sighed helplessly.

"Alas, there is no way. Whether it is the Ministry of Revenue or the Ministry of War, they are too stingy. If I were the Minister of Revenue, I would definitely arrange a large amount of silver for you!"

Qian Ruoyu smiled and said, "Okay, then I look forward to you becoming the Minister of Revenue!"

Hearing Qian Ruoyu's joke, Luo Shanhai also smiled.

Afterwards, Luo Shanhai personally came to the door to see them off, and Qian Ruoyu also rushed to the east city camp as soon as possible with the golden lotus.

In just a few days, thousands of unequipped soldiers had built the entire camp east of the city.

The area of ​​the camp in the east of the city is larger than that of Chu Mobai's camp in the south of the city. There is even a large amount of open space that is not used. Instead, only a part of the area is covered with tents.

When she arrived at her own central military tent, she discovered that it was divided into three tents.

One of the largest tents is the command center, and the two next to it are the living room and a small tent that is similar to a restaurant.

The sergeant next to him also said.

"My lady, is this arrangement convenient for you? If it is not convenient, we can change it for you..."

But after hearing this, Qian Ruoyu clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"Not bad, very good... You guys are so thoughtful, it really makes this general very happy!"

"Please note that you must call me General in the East City Camp. After all, it depends on the occasion. You can call me Madam in other places."

After getting her reminder, everyone changed their words.

"Yes, General Qian!"

When I heard these three words, I suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.

Although it is just a nickname, it is also a complete change.

Afterwards, Qian Ruoyu just walked around with Jin Lianhua and found that there was indeed a lot of open space in the entire camp, but he was thinking in his heart how to arrange his cavalry?

"Lotus, help me think of a way. I want to form a cavalry team of 1,000 people. Where should these cavalry be deployed?"

Jin Lianhua took a look and saw that the whole place was empty and spacious. Just as she was about to speak, Qian Ruoyu also spoke.

"It must not be arranged in the military camp."

"Arranging these cavalrymen is a very private matter. Not only do I not want the emperor to know, but even other than our bandit suppression army, no one else can know about it!"

After hearing these words, Jin Lianhua obviously began to hesitate.

Then she said.

"Please give me some time, Madam. I will investigate the area..."

After saying this, she jumped onto the horse beside her and rode away.

Watching the golden lotus leave, Qian Ruoyu returned to his big tent, took a look at the settings inside the tent, and then spoke to the people around him who were making arrangements.

"You can prepare a few tables here, a big table and a few small tables. Put a map of the area around the big table for me, and also find the villagers near Jiulong Mountain for me."

"Let the villagers near Jiulong Mountain draw a topographic map of Jiulong Mountain. I want to see the map here this afternoon and prepare to start discussing the battle!"

After she finished speaking, the people around her nodded.

After all, real money was spent to train them, so Qian Ruoyu's words were extremely effective to them.

After these people left, she walked out of the big tent and saw that Jin Lianhua had already stopped the horse next to the tent.

"How's it going?" she asked.

Jin Lianhua hurriedly walked up to Qian Ruoyu and said.

"My queen, in the past half an hour, I walked around this area and found a place that is very suitable for us to train cavalry. It is behind that mountain..."

As she spoke, she pointed to the other side of the mountain.

Although it is a plain in the east of the city, there is a mountain a few miles further east, which is a small hill.

Jin Lianhua said, "That small hill is very large, and there is an open space inside that can be used for us to train cavalry. Normally, no one will find it!"

The two of them soon arrived at the small hill.

The height of the small hill was only about forty or fifty meters, but after riding into a gorge, the view in front of us suddenly opened up to a huge open space.

When Qian Ruoyu suddenly saw the open space, his eyes widened and he thought to himself, isn’t this the Happy Valley that he is looking for?

"This place is open. Although it is surrounded by mountains, it is extremely hidden from human eyes."

"If the queen can train the cavalry here, no one will be able to find this place!"
