“Do you think it’s too much?”

Qian Ruoyu said without hesitation.

"You are my confidant, so there is no need for me to lie to you. The reason why we need three hundred people is to protect the safety of the palace at any time, and even to escort us out of the capital at a critical moment!"

Because she could already imagine in her mind that as long as she had 5,000 bandit-suppression troops under her command, then everyone would want to push her from behind no matter what.

That’s more than 5,000 people, and they are well-equipped.

Therefore, she decided that even if she appeared to be poorer on the surface, she had to be prepared for both situations. This way, she could avoid unexpected situations.

Whether it was giving up military power with a cup of wine or cooking the cunning rabbit after the lackey was killed, all of this made her feel a deep sense of crisis, so she made such a decision at this moment.

Jin Lianhua nodded as if she suddenly understood something.

Although he didn't know whether Jin Lianhua understood what he said, Qian Ruoyu felt that having Jin Lianhua by his side was a guarantee of safety after all.

Not long after that, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang returned to the palace with the good news.

"Greetings, Princess. We have already met half of your request. Now another 90,000 kilograms of food has been sent to the East City Camp. In addition, the other side has a full 70,000 kilograms. We have more than enough!"

But after hearing this, Qian Ruoyu thought, "Why not take back the remaining 10,000 kilograms?"

After suddenly hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, both Zhang Ma and Wang Po were stunned at this moment.

They didn't expect that Qian Ruoyu would ask for such a large amount of food at this moment, so they could only nod immediately.

As soon as these two people finished solving the problem, they received a reward from Qian Ruoyu.

Several large pieces of silver were placed in front of them. Both Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang could hardly believe it at this moment.

Qian Ruoyu said very calmly.

"This is what you two deserve. Since you two have helped me so much, you naturally deserve a reward. There are a total of fifty taels of silver in it. Take it. It will be enough for each of you to divide it equally."

Although she said so, she felt that the reward she gave was too little. After all, it was only for Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang.

Two people only need to talk a little, without doing anything, and each of them can get twenty-five taels of silver. This can be considered a good thing.

But even so, Qian Ruoyu didn't say much. After Zhang Ma and Wang Po thanked Qian Ruoyu, they hurriedly took the silver and left.

Qian Ruoyu was thinking about the scale of his anti-bandit army, so he eventually walked to the east side of the capital.

Just after entering the camp, Qian Ruoyu heard a series of sounds. These familiar sounds made Qian Ruoyu feel very happy. They were the sounds of the soldiers training.

Qian Ruoyu even walked around the entire venue, and Jin Lianhua rushed over when she saw her.

"Your Majesty, the place you asked me to arrange has been completely arranged. The plain in the mountain is now completely ready to surrender. I even sent some palace guards to guard the various entrances to the mountain. This way, no one will know what we are doing there."

Qian Ruoyu was even more surprised, because she had never expected that Jin Lianhua would think so clearly at this moment, even thinking about what would happen next.

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu had to praise Jin Lianhua again, but at this moment Jin Lianhua said.

"Your Majesty, please don't be so anxious to praise me. We still have one thing to solve, and that is the problem of horses. If the problem of horses is not solved, our cavalry will be helpless..."

After hearing these words suddenly, Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly, and then thought about it for a while in his heart.

After all, the horse problem is indeed not a trivial matter, so what Jin Lianhua said is absolutely right.

After thinking for a while, Qian Ruoyu said this.

"Don't worry, I will hand this matter over to someone, and let that person help me solve the problem."

And then Qian Ruoyu just went straight to Liu Dehai.

Liu Dehai himself does not have any horses, but he is the general manager and he has the contact information of those people in charge of horse administration. Therefore, as long as Liu Dehai contacts them, he can quickly get more than 10,000 horses directly from them.

The Horse Administration is in charge of all the information of all horses in the court. All the horses, regardless of size or breed, are recorded in it.

Therefore, it is enough to just let Liu Dehai make the contact, and enough horses will be contacted quickly.

"I see. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will handle this matter properly. Although 15,000 horses is a lot, I'm afraid there is no one else who needs them except you at this stage."

Liu Dehai's face was full of smiles. He had never thought that the princess in front of him would have such a big plan, so he naturally supported her in his heart.

After hearing what he said, Qian Ruoyu immediately said.

"No, although I need so many horses, you cannot reveal the number and source of them. You cannot let anyone know that I need these horses."

Originally, he was going to continue explaining, but Liu Dehai actually nodded immediately.

"Your Highness, don't worry. Since it is what you need, I will not tell anyone casually. Don't worry, I will prepare so many horses within half a month."

After she heard what he said, she felt completely relieved.

But then he also said: "By the way, how much do these horses cost?"

"According to the current price, a horse costs about 25 taels of silver. The total amount of silver required is no more than 400,000 taels. Please rest assured that I can still afford this amount of silver."

Qian Ruoyu then realized that Liu Dehai was actually planning to pay for her, so Qian Ruoyu did not refuse at this time.

His behavior means that he wants to invest. Since he wants it, let him join.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll trouble you."

"When the time comes, be sure not to let those horses enter the sight of the capital. I will personally greet all your horses outside the camp in the east of the city."

After hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, Liu Dehai was even more delighted and kept nodding at Qian Ruoyu.
