Zhuge was reborn and killed the old thief Sima

"Military advisor, the cattle and sheep have been registered. I wonder what we should do with these things?"

Just when Zhuge Liang and Deng Zhi had almost settled the matter, Shi Tao and Meng Jian also sorted out the cattle and sheep.

In this surprise attack on Danhan Mountain, Ma Chao's results were extraordinary, but the results were far less powerful than Cao Mengde's previous attacks.

Whether it was Bailang Mountain or Cao Zhang's Bingzhou battle this time, the cattle and sheep they obtained were often tens of thousands or even more than 100,000, or even hundreds of thousands...

This is not because Ma Chao is incompetent. The main reason is that Danhan Mountain is no longer the Danhan Mountain it used to be. It is already very difficult for the Xianbei Royal Court, which exists in name only, to obtain these things.

And these tens of thousands of cattle and sheep are enough to greatly relieve the pressure on Fufeng County.

Zhuge Liang looked at Cheng Yu in front of him, and finally pondered for a while before saying something faintly.

"At this time, should you want to tell me how many cattle and sheep there are this time, the specific number, and what did Guangyuan and the others say?"

Looking at Cheng Yu who did not have much experience in government affairs, Zhuge Liang did not blame him directly, but gave him a kind reminder.

This made Cheng Yu's face suddenly turn red, and he quickly confessed...

"This time General Ma Chao seized a total of more than 10,000 cattle, more than 23,000 sheep, and 4,000 war horses, most of which can be used as stallions..."

"Well..." This number was similar to the one in the battle report. Zhuge Liang was not surprised at all, "Is there anything else?"

"Others?" Cheng Yu clearly didn't understand what Zhuge Liang meant, "I don't know what the military advisor said..."

"Hey!" Meng Jian, who had just walked over with the account books, couldn't stand listening any more. He sighed and came to Kong Ming's side and glared at Cheng Yu.

"Kong Ming means, besides the cattle and sheep, are there any flags and honor guards?

Even though Danhan Mountain is in the past, it was still the place where the Lord of Xianbei, Tan Shihuai, established his royal court.

Most of the people living here are the former tribesmen of Tanshihuai.

Do you understand?"

After Meng Jian finished speaking, he ignored Cheng Yu's embarrassment and handed over the account book in his hand again.

"What Kong Ming wants is probably the royal flag of Tan Shi Huai, yes!"

After hearing Meng Jian's words, Kong Ming's eyes finally brightened, "Gongwei really understands what Liang is thinking!"

After seeing Ma Chao return before, Shi Tao and Meng Jian didn't even say hello and went straight to the loot.

To be honest, if others saw it, they might think that these two close friends were a little rude, but Kong Ming knew that they were looking for something useful to themselves.

What Shi Tao wants is cattle, cattle that can plow the land!

What Meng Jian wants is the royal flag and other things that represent the Xianbei royal court...

These two things are crucial to Zhuge Kongming today.

"Now Fufeng County is in some shape under your governance. Although the population of more than 100,000 is nothing to Fufeng County.

But this does not mean that there are no problems in Fufeng County.

As the saying goes, the land is vast and the people are sparse. If you want to quickly restore farming, in addition to the population, you also need a large number of cattle.

Otherwise, relying on this group of migrating Qiang, Hu and Di people, even if they are exhausted, they will not be able to bring Fufeng County back to life.

Therefore, both Guangyuan and I mean that this batch of cattle and sheep should not be given to the people in Chang'an first.

Although I can get back a lot of food in exchange, it’s better to just wait for me to make good use of it.”

Among the many scholars in Jingzhou, these friends of Zhuge Liang can truly be called the best among men.

Both Shi Tao and Meng Jian have the ability to govern a state, and now they can naturally distinguish what they need most.

Faced with such remonstrance, Kong Ming remained silent.

"Everything Gongwei said makes sense, but... there are hundreds of thousands of people..." Kong Ming couldn't help but sigh, "Even if we don't include the soldiers under my command, the food and grass we consume every day are...

It’s a number that gives me a headache.

In this short period of time, we are relying on the reserves of the migrating tribes, but...

But the Di people no longer make a living by herding, and relying only on the cattle and horses in the hands of the Qianghu is really a drop in the bucket.

In desperation, Liang Du had already asked Pang Lingming to do the robbery.

Even so, the rations I'm waiting for are still far from enough..."

"We are just admonishing. As for what you decide, Kong Ming, we will not object." Meng Jian did not listen to Kong Ming's words at all. He just left this sentence and left.

This is not because he and Kong Ming disagree, but because his character is like this.

Instead of listening to Zhuge Liang talk about some problems that he can't solve at all, it's better to just turn around and do something you can do.

Even... it’s better to read some classics than to waste time here!

Looking at Meng Jian's retreating figure, Kong Ming also had a look of helplessness and a wry smile. Since they arrived, his area has become much more relaxed.

Peng Yi can take his place in Xianyang, and Miao Pu, Wang Fu and others can also help him manage the place and be responsible for repairing Fufeng.

As for Shi Tao and Meng Jian, they are even more talented, but... none of this can change their biggest problem.

Poor!

"I thought that the situation in Jiangxia would never happen again in this life, but I never thought that we would be even more embarrassed now than we were in Jiangxia."

After hearing Zhuge Liang's helpless smile, Cheng Yu could only smile bitterly without saying a word.

After all, Cheng Yu is not very clear about what this person said.

"That's all, let's bring the cattle and sheep back to Huaili for now, whether they are distributed to the common people for farming or sold to the wealthy families..."

"Pull them back to Huaili?" Just when Zhuge Liang was about to let people take away the trophies, Mi Fang's voice suddenly appeared in his ears.

Then Zhuge Liang saw the strange expression on Mi Fang's face.

"What does Zifang want to say? Is it possible that there was something wrong with what Liang just said?"

"Uh..." Mi Fang pursed her lips, and finally couldn't help but say, "What the military advisor said are truly wise words...

But... Mi Fang just wants to ask, sir, do you know why there are so few people grazing in Fufeng County?"

"This..."

"These cattle can be used for farming, but these cattle... eat water and grass."

This sentence really stunned everyone.

"What Zifang means is that we can only sell these cattle and sheep to the wealthy families in Chang'an?"

"What are you selling to them for?" Mi Fang's expression became even weirder at this time, "In this land of Yongliang...are you afraid that these things won't be sold?"
