In Qingxian City.
At the County Magistrate's Residence.
"To the three family heads, I invited you here today to discuss the eradication of the Black Lotus heretics and the establishment of the Qingxian City militia," Lu Xuan sat at the head of the table, unfolding a plan.
Before him sat Gu Yang, He Youde, and Bo Chang, the heads of the three families.
This was a plan for raising funds for the militia.
"This time we plan to recruit a thousand strong men to serve as local troops. According to the laws of the Great Kang Dynasty, we need monthly allowances, annual rice, nominal grain, and silver for heart-red paper..."
Counting this way, each person would require thirty silver taels per year.
The plan wasn't written haphazardly; Lu Xuan had done his homework in advance.
Thirty silver taels might not sound like a lot.
At least compared to the pendant Bo Chang gave to Qin Fu, it was just a trifle.
