Chapter 584 How was it taught
Army.
Yes.
After this observation, the herdsmen in the village all had such an idea that they should not have.
Unconsciously, the crowd followed the footsteps of the old herdsman, and soon, Ding Xuewei's group was surrounded.
"Before, when I received the news of the opening, I invited someone to come to Lianyuan Mansion, and during this time, they worked very hard, and this is the good result." Ding Xuewei was very generous, and she didn't feel any guilt: "Here, there are a total of 28,525 cows, 34,296 horses."
In the entire Yuanfu, there are more than these domesticated cattle and horses, not to mention Xiao Guo.
However, to acquire this amount, it takes not only time, but also a lot of money.
Now the cattle and horses on this side of the border city are sold at 17 taels and 35 taels respectively.
Even if the premium exceeds five taels, the money that Ding Xuewei took out must reach 1.5 million taels.
One hundred and fifty taels is a big number in the eyes of the herdsmen, let alone one and a half million, or even above!
Hearing the numbers in her mouth, what everyone thought of was not the good skills of her subordinates, nor whether these cattle and horses were purchased in Lianyuan Mansion or from Xiao Guo, but that she was so rich!
"With so many cows and horses, do you plan to send them all to Fengcheng Mansion, or?" The eyes of the village chief shone brightly.
It was as if he saw silver flying towards him.
Grazing is not the same as transporting.
Grazing cattle and horses is a very simple task, especially in the grassland area like the border town, where there is not much arable land.
Where there is good grass, cattle and horses will naturally go there.
It is not difficult to raise cattle and horses.
No matter how heavy the snow is, as long as you are diligent enough in spring, summer and autumn, when the cold comes, the cattle and horses in the hut will have enough forage, as long as there is no excessive weather change, they will reward you with a suitable reward in the spring and summer of the following year.
Shipping is different.
Not to mention that at this time, the weather is cold, and even the forage in the original province is not easy to buy, even in spring and summer, when you can see green everywhere, this is also a big problem.
In the cattle and horse business, for businessmen, the trouble is not the quantity that can be bought and the employees who can afford it, but the thousands of miles away.
The price of cattle in Fengcheng Mansion has reached seventy or eighty hundred taels now, and the price of horses is also about the same, and anyone knows that as long as the cattle and horses are sent back to the house, they will definitely make money.
However, experienced caravans preferred to buy jerky rather than catch live animals.
Livestock, that's not what you let you go, you can sleep if you let you sleep.
It's not where the pain can be said, where the itch can be shouted.
"All sent back to Fengcheng Mansion." Ding Xuewei replied truthfully, "We have enough manpower."
Village Chief: "·····"
This look is too poisonous!
The villagers who saw the meaning of the village chief were disappointed.
I thought I could earn extra money.
Just as farmers are most concerned about their own rice yields and can be moved by any news of high yields, herders cannot refuse the tricks of domesticating gentler livestock.
When the situation is not dangerous, the herders want to get a little and a half experience.
When several middlemen drove Ding Xuewei's cattle and horses to arrive, they saw not only the neat and uniform phalanx of livestock, but also the old herdsmen who observed back and forth.
"This... Isn't it too good to teach?!"
Like the villagers, the middlemen were curious about what it was like to domesticate such obedient animals.
Ding Xuewei can't tell people how powerful Xiaofuniu's space is, let alone say that most of the animals they see are livestock who have walked out of the space, abducted from the grassland of Xiao Kingdom, and she can only vaguely say that she doesn't know what her subordinates are capable of.
The talents in the hands of others, you are just curious, and you can only be curious.
It's a different story for the animals that surround the chaotic herds of cattle and horses and then have in-depth communication.
For herders who have been dealing with cattle and horses since birth,
I don't know as much about the children at home as I do about the cattle and horses at hand.
The performance of the cattle and horses is too eye-catching.
"What are they doing?" Someone asked.
"They're like they're placating them." There are doubts.
"They seem to be pacified." Someone is sure.
No one can understand how Ding Xuewei's subordinates taught the animals, and how these animals can quickly accept strange people and soothe their emotions.
The only thing that can be seen is that only such a team will inevitably appear on the boundary of Fengcheng Mansion in the maximum number.
"Girl, do you want cows and horses?"
A middleman asks like a little Fu Niu.
At this time, Ding Xuewei has already entered the city.
Cattle and horses are important to all the cities and counties in Great Xia, not bordering the grasslands of the Xiao Kingdom.
Except for the main pastoral area bordering the Xiao Kingdom, the purchase of cattle and horses in any part of Bactria required official procedures.
Whoever buys and sells must be filed.
Even if he dies of illness, he has to be examined by officials before he can enter the market to sell meat.
The geography of Lianyuan Mansion is special, and the law is relatively changed, and it is not necessary to cross the clear road of the government to buy and sell cattle and horses, and the cattle and horses of Lianyuan Mansion are taken away, but they have to enter the government to keep the case.
When Ding Xuewei and Jiang Lao entered the yamen, the people who came and went to handle various matters and the busy officials did not pay much attention to this old man and young man.
When Jiang Lao said the amount of livestock in his hand, the official errand who filled in the desk suddenly paused, and the man behind Ding Xuewei had his eyes wide.
「··· How much do you say?"
After several minutes, the desk officer looked up and asked.
He felt he had misheard.
"Horses, ten thousand four hundred and ninety-five, oxen, eight thousand nine hundred and nineteen, sheep, four hundred seventy-six." Jiang Lao repeated dryly.
If he wasn't embarrassed, he wouldn't want to come to this place today.
Telling the number of animals on hand, what kind of situation he would face, he had already guessed.
"Poor master, the grass people's family invited someone into the house early in the morning, I thought that I would buy more at a time, and then send it back when the weather was good, but I didn't expect the snow to be so heavy on this side of the border city, and if I didn't leave, the livestock might have to smash my hands, and in this weather, it is too difficult for cattle and horses to forage!"
「··· Are you scared?" Official scrutiny.
Jiang Lao remained stiff.
Since he can buy so much, he has a lot of money to consume in a winter.
Leaving suddenly, saying that there is no forage, it is not as convincing as being frightened by the two days of fighting.
A few days ago, not to mention the caravan of Fengcheng Mansion, even the locals of the border city, were in a hurry to flee.
After the official said this, he didn't say anything more.
However, after Jiang Lao's file and road certificate were filled in, there was a large number and more, which made the situation a little suspicious.
There are nearly 30,000 cattle and 35,000 horses.
If these cattle and horses are all from Xiao State, it will naturally be a great thing, if they are from Lianyuan Mansion, then the impact on the livestock situation of Lianyuan Mansion in the coming year will be significant.
