In addition to recruiting systematic troops, the treasury funds of the city of Rome can also be used to buy food and exchange gold coins in the market, which are all facts that Bai Feng already knows, and they are also aspects that the city of Rome does not need to invest in for the time being.

The successful implementation of the cantonment plan gave the city of Rome a self-sufficient food resource, and it only took about two months for the six cantonment legions in Rome to usher in a new round of grain harvest, and then the city could have a large amount of grain reserves.

In addition, the existence of the deep cave mine has stably provided a large number of gold and silver coins for the city of Rome, and these huge amounts of gold and silver coins are enough to support the military expenditure of the city of Rome and the expenditure of other construction and people's livelihood expenses, and there is no need for Bai Feng to worry about it.

According to Bai Feng's idea at this time, the buildings of the city of Rome are far more than the market, and since in the market, the treasury funds of the city of Rome can be turned into real grain and gold and silver coins, what role can the treasury funds play in other system buildings?

Among all the buildings in the city of Rome at present, the governor's residence, the stone walls, the temple of Apollo, the bazaar, the public farm, the cavern mines, the paving road, the sewage canal, etc., must not be able to play the role of the treasury funds.

The remaining five buildings, including the urban barracks, the cavalry stables, the armor shop, the drill ground, and the shipbuilding workshop, should all belong to the military buildings, especially the armor shop, which was the casting and production base of the weapons and equipment used by the soldiers of the Roman army.

However, the monthly production limit of the armor shop is enough to arm five thousand people, which seems too much to Bai Feng's opinion, and the armor shop is not a lonely blacksmith shop, it is a complex of many workshops.

In such a complex of blacksmiths, countless swordsmiths and armor-makers are trying their best to craft more and better weapons and equipment every day, but even so, the production of armor shops is far from sufficient to meet the needs of the city of Rome.

If it weren't for the relatively stable external environment of the city of Rome, which gave the army of Rome plenty of time to redress and train, the limited production of weapons and equipment in the armor shop would greatly limit the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the army of the city of Rome.

In order to prove the role of the treasury funds in the armor shop, Bai Feng and his entourage came to the area where the armor shop was located, in fact, this area planned by Vipsani also included military buildings such as urban military camps, cavalry stables, and drill grounds.

Compared to the last three buildings dedicated to recruiting system troops, Bai Feng cared more about the armor shop, however, the facts proved that Bai Feng's judgment was not as accurate as he imagined.

There is no way to use the treasury funds to increase the production of weapons and equipment in the armor shops in the city of Rome, and only when the city of Rome enters the stage of a higher stage of development and the large cities will the output of weapons and equipment in the armor shops be further increased.

The disappointed Bai Feng had no choice but to take advantage of the excitement and return home, after all, he had no way to change the rules in the system, but he still had the mentality of trying it out, and led his entourage into the cavalry stable near the armor shop.

The cavalry stables in Rome are a complex of many stables, just like the armor shops, and even if Bai Feng has not recruited any cavalry troops recently, there are many high-quality horses in each stable.

For Bai Feng, the governor who was quite proficient in cavalry and war horses, he could naturally tell at a glance whether the war horses in the stables were really high-quality war horses; there was no doubt that the war horses in these stables were several grades higher than the war horses domesticated by the barbarians.

The soldiers of Nelson's cavalry legion, all the war horses they used were tamed by the barbarians, and this kind of tame war horse was not a high-quality war horse, at best, it could form light cavalry with weak combat effectiveness.

If the horses used by Nelson's cavalry were to form more combat-ready heavy cavalry, it was unclear whether these horses would be able to withstand the heavily armed heavy cavalry, and even if they could barely withstand it, their actual combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

After all, it is impossible for a war horse that can barely bear the burden to gallop at extreme speed on the battlefield, and the loss of the most important mobility advantage, the lethality of the cavalry is greatly reduced, and even the so-called heavy cavalry no longer has a lethal aggressiveness.

This is the key reason why Bai Feng, who has always liked to form large-scale cavalry units and heavy cavalry assault troops, has never expanded the scale of cavalry and failed to form heavy cavalry units after receiving the surrender of Nelson's cavalry.

With this visit to the cavalry stables, Bai Feng's original hope became enthusiastic again, if the high-quality war horses in these stables could be used by the city of Rome, it would mean that the city of Rome would soon be able to form a powerful heavy cavalry force!

The two newly summoned Seleucid ironclad cavalry were far from satisfying Bai Feng's deep desire for heavy cavalry power, and how to form a heavy cavalry force that truly belonged to Rome City was the thing that Bai Feng longed for the most at this moment.

The person in charge of the cavalry stables was soon brought to Bai Feng's side by Maxi, and the fierce-looking person in charge of the governor's personal presence was extremely respectful, and enthusiastically introduced all the situations in the stables to Bai Feng one by one.

Bai Feng, who already had a plan in his heart, just quietly listened to the introduction of the person in charge, and only after he finished talking about the situation in the stable, Bai Feng was able to throw the problem of transferring the war horses in the stable to the person in charge who was caught off guard.

I thought that the governor was the person in charge of inspecting the stable, but I didn't expect that the governor's purpose was to transfer the war horses in the stable; the person in charge, who was still a little caught off guard, quickly adjusted his mind and informed Bai Feng of his reply.

All the horses in the cavalry stable cannot be transferred, because these high-quality war horses exist for Bai Feng to summon cavalry, and they cannot be transferred at all, but Bai Feng can buy high-quality war horses from the stable by consuming the treasury funds.

Bai Feng, who learned that the war horse could not be transferred, still couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart, but the choice of buying a war horse made him happy again;

A high-quality war horse needs 10 gold, a thousand high-quality war horses need 10,000 gold, and the formation of a fairly large and combat-effective heavy cavalry unit also requires at least 3,000 to 5,000 high-quality war horses, which is 350,000 gold treasury funds!

Bai Feng, who was still complacent about his abundant treasury funds, suddenly found that he would soon return to a state where the treasury funds were insufficient, and even so, he decided to buy three thousand high-quality war horses from the stable immediately!
