What made Zhao Hu most proud was that this light cavalry that had put his efforts into his hands was a light crossbow. This was the epoch-making equipment, which allowed this new light cavalry to fight against the heavy cavalry of the Kazakhs.

This new one-handed crossbow arrow is simple to operate, has high shooting accuracy, and the reasonable crossbow body design allows cavalry to open the crossbow string with one foot on the horse. The arrow bag is carried behind each cavalry. It can be used as a thickened armor and can be used to extend the hand, which means that the arrow is caries.

Although the range of a one-handed crossbow is not as good as that of the heavy crossbow equipped with heavy infantry, it can penetrate scale armor that is 200 steps away, but it can also easily shoot through cavalry clasp armor that is 150 steps away. Within 50 meters, it can even penetrate the steel full-body armor of heavy cavalry.

What makes Zhao Hu the most worrying is that people have to eat and horses have to eat grass. More than 20,000 people eat but don’t do anything every day, which makes Zhao Hu heartbroken. In particular, the newly established Light Cavalry regiment consumes even more than a reorganized heavy infantry regiment of 3,000 people. They eat nothing, and they can’t live like this even if they have money and food.

Zhao Hu secretly thought that to make a fortune, not only to reduce expenses, but more importantly, to broaden the source of wealth. Money is not saved, but money is earned. Zhao Hu is eager to find a road to the north, not only to care about the crown of the great duke like the full moon, but also to find a business road connecting the north and south.

Now that the materials in the south are hoarded in large quantities in the iron tower, weapons are piled up in two large warehouses, and other materials are piled up like mountains. New things are constantly being made, but old things cannot be sold. Zhao Hu found that he was inadvertently in an economic crisis.

What is a crisis? It is the biggest crisis if you can't sell it alone. These valuable things are here, and they will not become money even if they are rusted or moldy. They will only slowly turn into a pile of scrap copper and iron.

Especially in the rainy season that just passed, the wet weather and the heavy rain made the bowstrings in the warehouse soften. As the various weapons and equipment accumulated in the warehouse could only be put into the iron furnace again and turned into a pool of iron.

What to do? These problems make Zhao Hu have a headache. Most of the south are poor and small lords who live their own stable lives. Who wants so many weapons?

It is even worse to sell to Kazakhs. If you sell these weapons and equipment to the Kazakhs, you will be afraid that the words "iron tower" will appear on the arrow nailed to the gate of the imperial capital.

"Are you really not able to find a road that can lead to the northern border? Are there Kazakhs squatting on the snowy mountains to the west of our Roman Empire? The Kazakhs are not so perverted, 0

Seeing that his subordinates were silent, Zhao Hu's face became increasingly ugly.
