Alexander then spent the rest of the meeting talking about general miscellaneous things.
For example, he asked Menicus to plan setting up more food stations to accommodate the coming refugees.
He asked Harun to start making more bronze blades for the new plows they would need come March.
And Diaogosis was instructed to start making the wooden plows.
"Speaking of plows, we will need enough daft animals to pull them. Eighty thousand (80,000) of them to be exact." Alexander spoke out aloud.
Then turning to Heliptos ordered, "I'm putting you in charge of acquiring more. We only have twenty thousand (20,000) in total so you are to acquire an additional eighty thousand (80,000)."
Hearing this mammoth task, Heliptos turned deathly pale and struggled to keep his frightful scream from emanating outward.
