army.

Yes.

After observing this meal, all the herdsmen in the village had such an idea that they shouldn't have.

Unconsciously, the crowd followed the footsteps of the old herdsman and soon surrounded Ding Xuewei.

"Before, when I received the news of the opening, I invited people to come to Lian Yuan Mansion. During this period, they worked very hard, and this is why we achieved this good result." Ding Xuewei was very generous, without any sense of guilt: "Here , a total of twenty-eight thousand, five hundred and twenty-five cattle, and thirty-four thousand, two hundred and ninety-six horses.”

There are more than these tamed cattle and horses in the entire Lian Yuan Mansion, let alone the Xiao Kingdom.

Of course, if you want to purchase this amount, you will need not only time, but also a lot of money.

Today, the transaction prices of cattle and horses in the border town are 17 taels and 35 taels respectively.

Even if the premium exceeds five taels, Ding Xuewei's money must reach 150 million taels.

150 taels is a big number in the eyes of herdsmen, let alone 150 million, or even more!
Hearing the numbers from her mouth, what everyone thought of was not the good skills of her men, nor whether the cattle and horses were purchased in Lian Yuan Mansion or from Xiao Guo, but that she was so rich!

"Are you planning to send all these cattle and horses to Fengcheng Mansion, or are you?" The village chief's eyes sparkled.

He seemed to see the money flying towards him.

Herding is different from transporting.

Herding cattle and horses is a very simple matter, especially in grassland areas like border towns where there is not much arable land.

Wherever there is good grass, cattle and horses will naturally go there.

Raising cattle and horses is not difficult.

No matter how much it snows, as long as you are diligent enough in spring, summer and autumn, when the severe cold comes, the cattle and horses in the shed will have enough forage. As long as there are no major weather changes, they will give back in the coming spring and summer. Your appropriate compensation.

Shipping is different.

Not to mention that at this time, the weather is so cold that it is difficult to buy fodder in the original province. Even in spring and summer, when green can be seen everywhere, traveling is also a big problem.

For businessmen in the cattle and horse business, the trouble is not the quantity they can buy or the employees they can afford, but the thousands of miles of travel.

The current price of cattle in Fengcheng Mansion has reached seventy, eighty or even one hundred taels, and the price of horses is also about the same. Anyone knows that as long as the cattle and horses are sent back to the mansion, they will definitely make money.

However, experienced caravans would rather buy dried meat than drive live animals.

Animals can't just leave if you let them go, or sleep if you let them sleep.

It's not like you can tell where it hurts or scream when it's itchy.

"Send them all back to Fengcheng Mansion." Ding Xuewei answered truthfully: "We have enough manpower."

village head:"·····"

This look is too poisonous!

The villagers who saw the village chief's intention were all disappointed.

I thought I could earn some extra money.

Just as farmers are most concerned about their own rice yields and are moved by any news of high yields, herdsmen cannot refuse the skills of domesticating gentler livestock.

When the situation is not dangerous, the herders want to gain one and a half points of experience.

When several middlemen arrived with the cattle and horses that Ding Xuewei and others had ordered, they saw not only a neat phalanx of livestock, but also old herders observing back and forth.

"This... the teaching is too good?!"

Like the people in the village, the middlemen were also very curious about what it was like to tame such an obedient animal.

Ding Xuewei couldn't tell people how powerful Little Fu Niu's dimension was, let alone that most of the animals they saw were animals that had walked out of the dimension, abducted from the grasslands of Xiao Country, and could only vaguely say "My subordinates" She didn't know what she was capable of.

Even if you are curious about the talents in other people's hands, you can only be curious.

The animals who autonomously surrounded the noisy herd of cattle and horses and then had in-depth communication were different.For herdsmen who have been dealing with cattle and horses since birth, they don’t know as much about their children as they do about the cattle and horses at hand.

The performance of the herd of cattle and horses is too eye-catching.

"What are they doing?" someone asked.

"They seem to be pacifying them." Some people suspected.

"They seem to have been calmed down." Someone confirmed.

No one can understand how Ding Xuewei's men taught the animals, how these animals could quickly accept strangers of the same kind and produce soothing emotions.

The only thing that can be seen is that such a team will definitely appear on the territory of Fengcheng Mansion in the maximum number.

"Girl, do you want any more cows and horses?"

A middleman asked like a little lucky girl.

At this moment, Ding Xuewei has entered the city.

Cattle and horses are important to all cities and counties in Daxia that are not bordering the grasslands of Xiao State.

Except for the main pastoral areas bordering the Xiao Kingdom, purchasing cattle and horses anywhere in Daxia requires going through official procedures.

Whoever bought it and who sold it must be documented.

Even if he died of illness, he had to be inspected by an official before he could enter the market to sell meat.

Lian Yuan Prefecture has a special geographical location and the official laws have been relatively changed. Buying and selling cattle and horses does not require going through the government's clear road. Taking away the cattle and horses from Lian Yuan Prefecture has to be recorded in the government office.

When Ding Xuewei and Mr. Jiang entered the Yamen, the common people going about various matters and the busy officials did not pay much attention to the old man and the young man.

When Mr. Jiang said the amount of livestock in his hand, the official who was filling in the official duties at the desk suddenly paused, and the man behind Ding Xuewei's eyes widened.

"···How many did you say?"

After several minutes, the officer at the desk raised his head and asked.

He felt he had heard wrong.

"Horses, 490 and five, cattle, 910 and nine, sheep, 470 and six." Mr. Jiang repeated dryly.

If he wasn't embarrassed, he wouldn't want to come to this place today.

He had already guessed what kind of situation he would face when he told the number of livestock he had on hand.

"Poor sir, the Cao Min family invited people into the house early in the morning. I thought I would buy more at once and send them back when the weather improved. But I didn't expect the snow here in the border town was so heavy. If I didn't leave, the livestock might have to be smashed. It’s in hand, it’s too difficult for cattle and horses to find food in this weather!”

"...Are you scared?" The official looked at him.

Mr. Jiang remained stiff.

Since he can buy so much, he knows how much fodder he can consume in one winter.

Leaving suddenly and saying that there is no more fodder is less convincing than being frightened by the two days of fighting.

In the past few days, not to mention the caravan from Fengcheng Prefecture, but also the locals in the border town were all anxious to escape.

After the officer said this, he didn't say anything more.

However, after Mr. Jiang's file road certificate was filled out, there was another big number, more, which made the situation a bit suspicious.

There are nearly [-] oxen before and after, and nearly [-] horses.

If these cattle and horses come from the Xiao State, it would be a good thing. If they come from the Lian Yuan Mansion, it will have a significant impact on the livestock situation of the Lian Yuan Mansion in the coming year.
