Go to a livery stable and buy four to five oxen. Then, go to trade and find someone who will trade money for your oxen. Trade the oxen for as much money as possible, but more than what you paid for them. Keep in mind that oxen differ in price depending on what location you are in. Keep trading the oxen for more money until the desired amount of money is received.
