Under normal circumstances, Prominent Families are not allowed to establish their own official military battalions.
However, under Daqian Law, once a national war breaks out or any other dire situation threatening Daqian arises, Prominent Families are authorized to organize [Militias] to defend the country and the Human race.
Although the national war has not yet started, the nominal reason is already there.
Therefore, Changning Wang Clan simply applied for the organizational framework of [Changning Wang's Civilian Corps] and established a regular militia with a full complement of 5,200 men. A portion of the taxes from Longzuo County and Changning's defense will be allocated at half the rate of [an ordinary battalion]'s military salary and provisions.
Typically, the total annual salary and provisions for an ordinary battalion amount to 300,000 Qian Gold, meaning Changning Wang's prestigious battalion would be entitled to a subsidy of 150,000 Qian Gold annually.
