"What about the cattle and sheep?"
War horses are okay, war horses are a scarce resource after all.
A horse farm was specially set up in Daiguo to deal with war horses. Although the scale is not large enough, it can still be solved by squeezing in and rushing the work.
But for cattle and sheep, this problem is a bit bigger.
Although there are several places dedicated to storing cattle and sheep in Daiguo, these 300,000 head are not a small number.
Just what they eat in a day is enough to give people a headache.
"this......"
Feng Jing frowned. This matter was really difficult.
There are cavalry to help take care of the horses, but it is difficult to feed 300,000 cattle and sheep.
These things are together on such a large scale. If one of them gets sick, they will die in groups!
If this person is not taken care of properly, all the cattle and sheep that were finally captured will eventually die of illness. I am afraid the nature of the matter will be different.
I'm afraid that soon, this matter will be directly raised to a political issue.
Liu Deng is indeed in a high and powerful position now, but at the same time, there are also many people who are jealous of Liu Deng.
It's just that they really can't seize the opportunity. If they catch this little pigtail, it will be ink for a while.
I'm afraid, even if there is no way to do anything to Liu Deng, it will still make Liu Deng sick for a while.
"What? If you have any difficulties, just say it!"
Liu Deng also knew that this was indeed a difficult problem and asked directly.
"Your Majesty, there are too many cattle and sheep. I'm afraid it's really difficult at this moment. How about we slaughter some of them?"
Chen Qi asked tentatively.
"In this weather, if this is a large-scale slaughter, I'm afraid it won't take long and it will immediately stink!"
Before Liu Deng could say anything, Feng Jing directly denied it.
After all, it is summer, and the weather is really troublesome. With so many cattle and sheep, if they are not handled properly, there may really be problems.
"The sheep are left to the meritorious soldiers for the use of the army. As for the cattle, can they be directly distributed to the people for use in farming? Several families can raise them together. Then, those who raise cattle can use the farmland for free. You What do you think?"
Liu Deng hesitated for a moment, and then asked again.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this won't work..."
This was the best solution Liu Deng could come up with, but Feng Jing didn't expect it and rejected it without even thinking about it.
"Why not?"
Liu Deng's eyes widened.
"Your Majesty, you don't know. All these cattle raised on the grassland are used exclusively for meat. They don't know how to plow the land..."
When Feng Jing said this, he looked at Liu Deng strangely.
Hearing what Feng Jing said, Liu Deng was stunned. Then he suddenly remembered that it seemed to be the same in later generations.
Some cattle are used specifically for grazing and eating meat, some are used specifically for plowing fields, and some are specifically used for milk.
Could it be that I am really ignorant?
"Is there any difference between the cattle that eat meat and the cattle that plow the fields? Aren't they both cattle?"
Although he was rejected by Feng Jing, Liu Deng still refused to give up.
"Your Majesty, you don't know. All the cattle used for plowing the land were trained to plow the land by following the old cattle when they were little calves. When they are a little older, they will plow beside the old cattle. As time goes by, Able to work on the land..."
Once he said this, Liu Deng probably understood it. After talking for a long time, it turned out that these cows still need to learn.
"Then just let them start learning again. Is it still too late?"
Although Liu Deng also felt that this question was indeed idiotic, and he felt like why not eat minced meat, he was really curious about this question.
"Your Majesty, they have become strong bulls now, how can they still have time to learn? If you push them too hard, you might even hurt someone..."
Feng Jing said with a bitter smile.
"Is there such a thing?"
Liu Deng frowned and then stopped talking.
Feng Jing and Chen Qi also began to look sad. They really didn't expect that the three most powerful people in this generation would be stumped by a cow.
"I don't believe in this evil yet. People say that cows are forced to have their heads pressed if they don't drink water. I just want to try it today to see how difficult it is!"
After a while, Liu Deng suddenly said.
Even people here can change, let alone a cow. Now he really wants to try how undisciplined the cows on this grassland are!
"Come here, get me a cow that was captured last time! By the way, find me some soldiers who can plow the land with cows."
Liu Deng really didn't believe it. Wuhuan was destroyed by himself. How could a cow be defeated by himself?
"promise!"
Although Shunzi was confused, she didn't dare to delay and immediately went to search according to Liu's instructions.
Many of the guards around Liu Deng were originally from farm families, and of course they were no strangers to cattle farming.
As for such free-range cattle, it is easier to find them. There are many tied up outside the kitchen of the palace!
Not only Liu Deng likes to eat beef in the palace, but also several hostesses, so the palace keeps a few as backup.
Under the leadership of Shunzi, Liu Deng, Chen Qi, and Feng Jing came to the open space behind the palace.
A strong bull was led all the way to the center of the open space, and next to it, someone had already brought a set of farming tools.
"Come and give it a try and see if this cow can plow the land!"
Liu Deng said directly to several soldiers.
"promise!"
Several soldiers looked at each other, and some of them didn't quite understand what Liu Deng wanted to do, but they still responded obediently, and then immediately began to make preparations.
Although this cow is strong, it is still relatively gentle now. Seeing the set of heavy farming tools being slowly put on his body, although it felt a little fresh, he did not resist.
Even Feng Jing's eyes widened. If it could be done, this would really be a great thing that would benefit the country and the people.
"drive!"
One of the two soldiers held the plow and the other led the cow. At first, the cow didn't respond at all.
But as soon as the plow was put into the ground, the cow immediately stopped where it was. No matter how hard the soldier holding the cow drove it, it remained motionless.
"Try it with a whip, be careful!"
Liu Deng frowned and then ordered directly.
"promise!"
The soldier holding the cow took out his riding crop, but even so, the cow remained motionless.
have to!
This thing really got into the bull's temper. The soldier was immediately furious and lost his temper. He whipped the bull hard and dragged the bull forward with all his strength.
"careful!"
Perhaps because of the severe beating, the cow went crazy and slammed into the soldier.
If the soldier hadn't reacted quickly, he might have been stabbed through the stomach by the horn!
