As time went by, half an hour later, the Jinyiwei Baihu's physical strength began to be a little unable to keep up. Training was originally a tiring job, and every time it blocked Liu Feng's Fangtian Huaji, it would take a lot of energy to block the attack of Liu Feng's Fangtian Huaji. This thing is not light for others, and this will consume even more physical energy.

After seeing that the Jinyiwei households were obviously exhausted, Liu Feng stopped attacking. He leaned on the Fang Tian Huaji and gasped, saying, "Let's take a rest first."

At this time, an Jinyiwei hurried in from outside and reported: "Master, General An asks for a visit."

"Let him in."

Liu Feng said while wiping sweat with his handkerchief.

"yes!"

Not long after, An Tai hurried in, then saluted to Liu Feng and said, "Greetings to the lord."

"Get up, what do you think of Manager An looking for me?"

Liu Feng was a little curious. Since the establishment of the cabinet, ordinary matters have been handed over to four cabinet ministers in the cabinet. Antai, the logistics manager, rarely comes to him.

"Lord, this is the thing. Our leather, iron and other materials have a big gap. Because of this, the task of expanding the army you explained before is slow, and it has even stopped due to insufficient materials."

An Tai said as he took out a booklet and said, "According to the specifications set by the Lord, each melee soldier in the Zhengzhang camp is equipped with a long spear, a knife, an iron wooden shield, and a pair of leather armor; a long-range troops have a bow, a knife, a sixty arrows, and a pair of leather armor."

"That's right, this is the standard I set after discussing with the captains before."

Liu Feng nodded.

The soldiers of the Zhengzhu Camp are different from the Black Armored Army that are equipped with the system. They have to be equipped with all their weapons and equipment by Liu Feng.

Now, the entire Zhengzhang camp has only about 100 pairs of armor in total, and the quality of these armors is only average. However, even so, these hundred pairs of iron armor are still important weapons in the army. They are popular in Zhengzhang camp, and they are all in the hands of officers above the team level.

As for the officers below the team, most of them could only get a piece of leather armor, while ordinary soldiers were wearing ordinary linen clothes, while some clever people found a piece of iron to sew it into the clothes as a heart protection mirror.

Compared with armor, iron weapons are much better, but they have not fully achieved the extent to which everyone has iron weapons in their hands. Many soldiers still use bamboo guns to fight.

Because of this, Liu Feng decided on this plan to expand his arms, intending to match each soldier in the Zhengzhang camp with a pair of leather armor and iron weapons.

Although the defense of leather armor is not as good as iron armor, no matter what, it has some protective ability when worn on the body. Maybe it can save a life at critical moments.

When the military expansion mission was set up before, there were only tens of thousands of soldiers in the Zhengzhang camp. At that time, the supplies were barely enough.

But now, the strength of the Zhengzhu Camp has expanded to 150,000 in a short period of time, including the 50,000 Qingshan Army reorganized by Qingshan Prefecture. This is a huge number, and this number will continue to increase in the future.

If he wanted to produce at least 150,000 pairs of leather armor and a large number of swords, guns, bows and arrows, An Tai tried his best to find out how to make so many equipment materials. As a last resort, he had no choice but to come and ask Liu Feng for help.

“How much is missing.”

Liu Feng sighed. He is not short of money now, but these materials cannot be bought with money, especially when the trade between the north and the south is different.

"There are 35,000 pairs of leather armors in our current products, with a gap of 115,000! There are 10,000 ordinary long swords, 30,000 long spears, 10,000 shortfalls of swords and guns, 4,000 bows, 4,000 shortfalls, 400,000 shortfalls, 400,000 arrows, and 200,000 shortfalls. In addition to creating swords, guns and arrows, we also need to repair the weapons and armor of the Black Armor Army, and all the iron ingots have been used up."

Liu Feng frowned when he heard this, "I remember we had seized a lot of equipment and weapons from the arsenal of the imperial government before? Why are there so many missing?"

Hearing this, An Tai's expression suddenly became wonderful, and he said angrily: "The lord doesn't know that the things seized from the arsenal are useless except for the top part. When I came, I brought some samples stored in the arsenal and were outside."

He said as he looked at the Jinyiwei beside him. When he was outside just now, the Jinyiwei did not allow him to bring things in at all.

"Go and take it in and have a look."

Liu Feng ordered to the Jinyiwei.

After a while, several Jinyiwei walked in with some swords, guns, shields and bows.

Liu Feng first picked up a long spear and immediately found that the gun barrel was bitten by a bug, which had decayed. With force, it suddenly broke into two pieces, and the tip of the gun was a rusty lump of iron.

Then he picked up a long knife with a scabbard. When he pulled the handle of the knife, he found that he could not pull it open. It was obvious that the knife had rust to death.

After throwing down the long knife, Liu Feng's eyes fell on the shield. The shield looked pretty good, and it was covered with cowhide. But when he picked it up, he immediately felt something was wrong.

The portion is too light.

Logically, this shield should be made of hardwood and wrapped in cowhide, but no matter what hardwood it is, the weight will definitely not be so light.

So this shield is definitely not made of hardwood. It is wrapped in cowhide. It is probably just ordinary wooden boards, and it has even decayed. After all, ordinary wooden boards are not as durable as hardwood.

Seeing that the first few equipments were all such inferior products, Liu Feng was no longer interested in looking at the last bow. If you don’t have to try it, it will definitely be broken if you pull it.

"Let's do this, you melt the rusty spear tips and long swords first, and use them to create new swords, guns and arrows. It should be enough to get it together. I don't care about the bow for the time being. As for the gap in leather armor material, I'll think of other ways."

At this time, the first time Liu Feng thought of was Li Jun, the second prince of Qian Dynasty.

After An Tai left, he immediately asked someone to bring Li Jun over.

"Your Highness the Second Prince, we will add another condition to exchange, 200,000 pairs of leather armor!"

"This is impossible!"

Li Jun, who was already a little nervous, jumped up and said with grief and anger: "You have enough things to ask for. Even if you kill me, you will still take out so many leather armor."

This is the truth. Leather armor is not ordinary goods, but military supplies in the Daqian Dynasty. Especially now that the Qian Dynasty is fighting against the Northern Wei Dynasty, its own army is not enough, so there is no extra place.

"Then I will reduce it a little, and one person will take a step back. How about 150,000?"

Li Jun shook his head firmly, "No, let alone 150,000, even 10,000 is not. Leader Liu, I am just a prince, not a prince, and my father cannot sacrifice so much of the interests of the court for me, the prince. If you don't want Jiangzhou, there might be something to talk about in this 200,000 leather armor."

"impossible."

Liu Feng shook his head and used 200,000 leather armor to exchange Jiangzhou unless he was stupid.

"Then I have nothing to do."

Li Jun showed an helpless expression.

"Then let's change the way. I don't want the finished product anymore. Is it okay to only make leather armor materials for 200,000 yuan?"

Li Jun looked at Liu Feng with a strange face and said, "Most of our furs come from the Northern Wei Dynasty. Now that the two countries are fighting, trade exchanges have long stopped. If you want to collect 200,000 pairs of leather armor, you can't do it even if you have money."
