"I ordered people to write several notices and post them in prosperous places in the city. I want to form a purple family army. All young people over fifteen years old, regardless of their talent, can sign up. Each candidate will be rewarded.
A hundred gold coins, a dragon and horse, and a set of armor and weapons!"
As soon as she said this, the expressions of all the sect leaders and deacons in the room changed, including Zi Qiong who had already walked into the hall and sat on a chair next to her and watched her give orders.
Forget about forming the Zi Family Army. Each person has a dragon and horse, and a set of armor and weapons. Isn't this too big a deal?
Although the Zi family is also a big business, it has been in decline over the years, so how can it have so much spare money.
Not to mention anything else, the market price of these dragon horses alone is more than two thousand gold coins each. The total number of the huge Zi family does not exceed ten, but she wants one for each person?!
Moreover, regardless of money and goods, where to find so many dragons and horses in such a short period of time is also a problem.
"Cough!" Zi Changming, the head of the inner sect who controls money affairs, coughed lightly, "Master, this dragon horse..."
"I will take care of the matter of dragons, horses and weapons. All you have to do is put up a notice." Zi Tong said.
Zi Changming pondered for a moment, "The imperial law states that each family's private army cannot exceed one thousand. How many do you want?"
Zi Tong raised her chin slightly, "As much as you want!"
"This..." Zi Changming looked confused, "I'm afraid that the city lord will ask about it when the time comes."
"Rules are dead, people are alive!" Zi Tong raised the corners of her lips slyly, "I didn't say that I would violate the laws of the empire. In the establishment of the imperial cavalry, each cavalry can have two followers, plus
A groom, since the family's private army cannot exceed a thousand, I can form a cavalry army of a thousand people, there is no problem, right?!"
She has always been the best at taking advantage of loopholes.
After Zi Changming heard this, he was also enlightened. According to Zi Tong's approach, these thousand private troops, no matter how cleverly they get some logistics personnel, can be expanded to at least five thousand.
If the Zi family really has an army of 5,000 people, plus the top and bottom members of the Zi family, the total can be an army of 10,000 people.
Ten thousand people, what is that concept?
Even under the lord of Zi Yao City, there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses. Of these 50,000 people, there are still 30,000 scattered in several small cities under the main city. The real number of soldiers and horses in Zi Yao City is only 20,000.
At that time, even if you want to rebel, it is not impossible.
"Master!" Another sect leader also stood up, "Although this matter is not illegal, if this matter spreads out, I'm afraid the city lord will not be too happy!"
Zi Tong sneered, "I'm afraid, he can't help but be unhappy about this matter!"
Zi Tong had already given orders to Ziwei Auction House last night. At this time, the news of Gong Yunhao's death was heard by several of the Zi family's sect leaders.
At first, everyone was a little confused about Zi Qiong's abdication and Zi Tong's arrangements. But when they heard that she was going to form an army, everyone had some ideas in their minds and guessed what Zi Tong was thinking.
For so many years, the Zi family has been suppressed. Not to mention several major families and sects, even in Zi Yao City, they have been angry with many officials. This time, is it finally time to resist?!
Who has never been young, who has never had ambitions, who has never had unfulfilled ambitions... Those who can achieve the position of sect master are naturally bloody men. Feeling the ambition of this young master, the faces of several sect masters are more or less full of emotions.
He showed some enthusiasm.
Collecting everyone's expressions in his eyes, his purple pupils grew long.
"Now, let's begin!"
"yes!"
Everyone responded in unison and quickly left the meeting hall.
