Hearing Li Bin's second request, Li Jingyi shook his head slightly and said, "The three of us have no right to use the things in the Li Mansion Armory, but I can ask you and your three brothers to select some weapons, armor, shields and bows in the Leishan County Government Armory. Of course, the things in the County Government Armory are incomparable to the Li Mansion Armory."

Li Jingyi's words disappointed Li Bin. Li Bin did not think there was anything good in the county government's arsenal.

Although the arsenal of Leishan County and the county yamen also provides weapons to the two battalions of Leishan County, the arsenal of the Dayan Empire, whether it is a warrior or an auxiliary soldier, all the weapons needed to be provided by themselves. Therefore, the arsenal of the county yamen can actually be called the arsenal of the three yamen runners.

Li Jingde smiled and said, "Nephew Li Bin, don't underestimate the arsenal of our Leishan County Government. There are a lot of good things in it, and there are even seventeen pairs of brand new infantry heavy armor."

Infantry heavy armor is composed of fine iron blades connected by leather strips or nails. Its protection range includes the whole body. It is the standard armor of heavy infantry in the Great Yan Empire. It is precisely because the Great Yan army has a large number of heavy infantry that it has never been inferior in the war with various nomadic peoples on the grassland.

However, each pair of infantry heavy armor weighs at least 60 kilograms. In addition, infantry heavy armor can also increase protection by increasing the number of fine iron blades, but the weight will further increase. Soldiers who can wear infantry heavy armor must be strong and strong.

Li Bin didn't care about the weight of the infantry heavy armor. When he heard that the county government had heavy armor, Li Bin's eyes lit up, "There are really seventeen pairs of infantry heavy armor in the county government's arsenal?"

Li Jingde explained to Li Bin that it turned out that thieves were everywhere in the Great Yan Empire in recent years. Chen Fu, the county magistrate of Leishan County, hoped to strengthen the strength of Leishan County to resist thieves, especially to enhance the strength of the three yamen runners. So he applied for a batch of armies from the cavalry general Cui Deng of Xuanzhou Guard, to prepare to be distributed to the three yamen runners in Leishan County.

Cui Deng, the general of the cavalry of Xuanzhou Guard, was born in a general. He was the younger brother of Cui Rong, the contemporary head of the Cui family in the capital. Cui Rong was a hereditary marquis of the Great Yan Empire and was currently the general of the Imperial Guard Zuotun Guard.

When the Great Yan Empire was established, the Cui family in the capital followed Emperor Taizong Zhao Yong and made great contributions. At that time, the head of the Cui family was enthroned as a hereditary marquis.

Now, after more than 600 years of development, the Cui family in the capital has become a giant among many generals.

For example, the Zuo Tun Guard and You Tun Guard among the Sixteen Inner Guards, and the Xuanzhou Guard among the 15 Outer Guards, the vast majority of the military officers are the children of the Cui family in the capital. The left Tun Guard, the right Tun Guard and the Xuanzhou Guard are not the children of the Cui family, and they are basically dependent on the Cui family. It is not an exaggeration to regard the Left Tun Guard, the Right Tun Guard and the Xuanzhou Guard as the private army of the Cui family.

In the other guards of the Imperial Army, there are many children of the Cui family in the capital who serve as military officers at all levels. The Cui family in the capital can be regarded as one of the top generals in the Great Yan Empire.

The policy of governing the country in the Great Yan Empire has always been to give equal importance to civil and military affairs, but in fact, the military officers of the Great Yan Empire have completely suppressed civil officials. Many civil officials of the Great Yan Empire have close ties with some generals and even directly attached to them.

Chen Fu, the county magistrate of Leishan County, was in the capital before. After an introduction from a friend, he met General Cui Rong. With the help of General Cui Rong, he was sent to Leishan County to become the county magistrate. If it were not for General Cui Rong's help, Chen Fu might have to stay in the Hanlin Academy now.

Although Chen Fu is not fully dependent on the Cui family in the capital, he is also a spokesperson trained by the Cui family among civil servants. General Cui Deng received the official documents from Chen Fu and happily selected a batch of well-made weapons from the Xuanzhou Guard Arsenal and sent people to Leishan County, including twenty pairs of infantry heavy armor.

Unfortunately, among the three yamen runners in Leishan County, there were only three yamen runners who could barely wear heavy infantry armor to fight. These three yamen runners were killed in the last battle to clear out the Jiguanling bandits. The three infantry heavy armor on their bodies also became the spoils of the bandits. The remaining seventeen infantry heavy armors were kept in the arsenal of the county yamen.

When Li Bin learned that there were indeed seventeen pairs of infantry heavy armor in the county arsenal, he immediately asked: "If I choose weapons and armor from the county arsenal, can I take away all the seventeen pairs of infantry heavy armor?"

Li Jingyi nodded without hesitation and said, "You can choose any of the weapons in the county arsenal. You can take away the seventeenth pair of infantry heavy armor. If you are planning to recruit some people, you can also get more weapons, armor, shields and bows from the county arsenal! What is your third requirement?"

Li Jingyi looked down on the things in the county arsenal, such as the very precious infantry heavy armor in Li Bin's opinion. There are dozens of mates in the arsenal of Li's mansion, so Li Jingyi was not stingy with giving Li Bin all the seventeenth infantry heavy armor in the county arsenal.

Li Bin then said: "My third request is to get a few war horses, this time I go to Jiguanling..."

Before Li Bin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Jingyi. "Don't think about war horses. How much effort did our Li family have to raise less than forty war horses, and even one of them can't be given to you."

Although the Great Yan Empire set up many horse farms in the northern region, wars often broke out with nomadic peoples on the grassland, the Great Yan Empire lost a large number of war horses every year.

In general, war horses are still very short of war horses in the Great Yan Empire, which has also made the price of war horses in the Great Yan Empire remain high, and the price of each war horse is more than 200 taels of silver. The key is that it is difficult to buy a good war horse even if you have money.

Because of the high price of war horses and it is difficult to buy, even the Li family, as a general, currently only have less than forty adult war horses.

Li Jingde next to him said, "Nephew, it's really hard to give you war horses, but you can give you twenty horses to transport food and grass."

War horses are carefully raised, eaten well, and have a very good physique. They can still fight and charge after long-distance running.

Slow horses are usually used to cultivate land or pull carts. It is okay to carry people, but they cannot run at all and cannot carry out charges. However, due to lack of horses, the price of slow horses in the Dayan Empire is not cheap. The average price of slow horses is also about twenty taels of silver.

Hearing Li Jingyi and Li Jingde say this, Li Bin did not mention asking for a war horse. He discussed with Li Jingyi and the other two about the bandit suppression and the aftermath of the gambling hall, Li Bin got up and said goodbye.

Then, under the guidance of a yamen runner, Li Bin went directly to the county yamen's arsenal.

Although the arsenal of Leishan County Government is nominally managed by the county magistrate He Yunbin, it is actually in charge of Li Jingyu, the leader of the squad.

Li Jingyi asked Li Bin to go to the county arsenal today to select various weapons. Then the county yamen will send carriages to the gambling hall, and then pull more than a dozen bodies in the gambling hall back to the county yamen in carriages, including Cui Hu's corpse.

Cui Hu has been completely abandoned by Li Jingyi. Next, Cui Hu will be charged with accusation of having an affair with Jiguanling bandits. More than a dozen dead Cui Hu's subordinates will also be charged with the same charge.

As for the transfer of gambling halls, houses, shops and floods and dry fields that Li Bin is worried about, with Li Jingyi's operation, as long as he has a land deed, Cui Hu himself is not required.

After Li Bin left the hall, Li Jingde couldn't help but speak to Li Jingyi and Li Jingyu: "This Li Bin is much better than his father's words and affairs, and he has not been studying in the clan for ten years in vain."

Li Jingyi nodded slightly, "I am so meticulous at such a young age, and I know how to make choices. It seems that there is another character in our Li family's sidelines."
