TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 734: Chapter 324: Alliance and Marriage_2

Even if they could come up with another two or three hundred million silver taels, it wouldn’t surprise Ruyuan.

After all, it’s normal for tens of millions of people to accumulate such wealth over hundreds of years.

However, this doesn’t mean that one hundred million silver taels is a small amount.

With this money, Lu Yuan could now expand his army by 500,000 soldiers, and cover their military expenses for three and a half years.

If you also consider the silver reserves and accumulated surpluses from Chu State’s treasury, it would be enough to support the additional 500,000 soldiers for seven years.

In other words.

With this silver, Lu Yuan could expand Chu State’s standing army to one million strong, and maintain them for seven years without disrupting the country’s financial balance or hindering domestic development.

If Chu State could maintain an army of a million soldiers for seven years, the benefits it would bring would be immeasurable.

Most simply.

If Chu State had an army of a million, sending out hints about their strength would be enough to solidify their control over the currently disputed Hanzhong region, with no further resistance.

As long as the Zhou People knew that Chu State had an army of a million strong, their hearts would be filled with anger and unwillingness, but in the face of being surrounded by such a powerful enemy, they wouldn’t dare stir the pot and bring disaster upon themselves.

Meanwhile, over at Ning Country and Nanhai Country.

Originally, with Chu State’s strength, it would have been difficult to annex these two small Lingnan countries.
