It turned out that Liu Ming originally planned to find a few carpenters among these people to build water trucks, and it was probably a dozen people. Unexpectedly, he was shocked when he asked. Most of these people knew how to carpenters. If something was broken in the past, he would usually repair it himself, so he would ask someone to repair it unless it was high-end goods. Moreover, 15 of these people could make irons and 26 had dried in brick kilns.

Liu Ming was so happy now. Originally, Houde calculated that when he was working on arable land, he produced one and a half stones of grain per mu, and collected two quarters a year. 3,000 stones of grain per year was enough for the more than 2,000 people to eat for more than a month. Even if there were tens of thousands of acres, it was just enough for these people to eat, and they could only pay for the tax. Now so many people have the skills, they can open a brick factory or something to make money.

Finally, the following manual arrangements were decided:

1. The boy is uniformly taught by 20 literate old men.

2. Among the elderly and women, 200 people were selected to set up a canteen to be responsible for the diet of all people. 100 people were selected to be responsible for everyone's clothes, including sewing, washing, making new clothes. The remaining people and others were raising livestock, including breeding rabbits, chickens, ducks, pigs, cows, etc. they brought themselves.

3. Among all the young and strong people, 500 people were incompetent to be responsible for all arable land. The precise amount of arable land has exceeded 9,700 mu. The remaining personnel will build the manor first, and make arrangements after the manor is repaired.

After the manpower is arranged, it is to decide what to do at the moment. The first thing to do is burn the wasteland. However, although the fireproof is easy to open, it is February, and the grass is in full swing and the fire cannot be burned. An old man named Li Lin came up with an idea: buy 200 kilograms of sulfur and sprinkle it on the grass, and the fire will be better, and it will also have a lot of strength.

Liu Ming was happy again. There was still sulfur now. If there were saltpeter and charcoal, wouldn’t it have fire? He quickly asked: “Old Li, how can there be sulfur now? How can I sell it?”

Li Lin said in surprise: "Young Master, sulfur has existed since ancient times. It is generally used by people who practice Taoism and alchemy. We farmer also uses it to make the land or when it is cold, it can be used to increase the water temperature of the fields and sell it in the grocery stores in the city."

Liu Ming looked at Li Lin's expression and felt disappointed: It seemed that ancient times were not as backward as he thought. He had to go to the shops in the city tomorrow to see what good things were there. It felt really bad to let the ancients underestimate them. Liu Ming quickly changed the topic: "I'll buy sulfur tomorrow. Today you ask someone to cut the fire belt first. In addition, ask some people to dig the water tank, and then find some good skills to make the water truck. The water truck will enter the water tank." He casually drew the sketch of the water truck on the ground, and thought to himself: You must have never seen it this time. When I bought farm tools, I inquired about the lack of such a water truck. This time you must admire me.

Unexpectedly, an old man named Liu Shen interrupted Liu Ming's dream. "Young master is indeed a talented man. He can come up with such a wonderful tool based on water drainage. He is really a master."

Liu Ming didn't expect that he thought no one could recognize the water truck, and there was something similar. He was going to explain it carefully and seemed to be useless. But what is the water drain? He wanted to ask but was afraid of everyone making jokes. Then he thought again: jokes are jokes, but it wasn't that they missed the shortcuts. He asked: "Old Liu, what is the water drain for?"

"Ah! The young master did not think about it based on water drainage." Liu Shen said in a lost voice. Then he thought of something again and said seriously: "That's right. The young master is a master, and he has taught it himself. It is also appropriate to not know that water drainage is also necessary. The young master, those who know it know it, and those who don't know it do not know it, and they are not ashamed to ask questions. As expected, he is a master with a good character and a broad mind." After hearing this, everyone praised it.

Liu Ming felt a little embarrassed when he heard everyone praise. He glanced at Houde and thought that it must be that Houde had passed on him. He quickly interrupted everyone and said, "Don't praise everyone, I'm almost floating up to the sky." He turned to Liu Shen and said, "You should continue to talk about water drainage."

"The water drain was created by our ancestors of the dynasty, the prefect of Nanyang. The water wheels drive the skin to swell and smelify iron. The wind power is unremitting all day long, which greatly saves manpower. We have used it in our village, which is a good thing, but unfortunately the drought and the river is dry, so we can't turn, and we can't be used as food, so we lose everyone's escape from famine." Mr. Liu said regretfully.

When Liu Ming heard this, he was interested and asked, "Water drainage can help craft iron, so isn't it difficult to make steel?"

"Steel making? Is it possible? Iron is not easy to make. I only need to be pounded once I make iron. The iron that has been tempered for thousands of times is called steel. A good piece of steel has to be hammered for several years.

Liu Ming was speechless when he heard this. He thought to himself: I can't use it now anyway, so let's talk about it later.

After arranging all the tasks for everyone, Liu Ming was going to buy things in the city. Yang Jun stopped Liu Ming: "Young Master, in the future, we will have a name here. Moreover, we have a large population, so there should be someone to manage. I have 20 people, but it is only recommended by everyone for the time being. If you want to manage for a long time, you may be inconvenient. Please give me a message."

Liu Ming couldn't help but have a headache and thought: "What's the name again? And he has never cared about so many people, what should he do? Liu Ming looked up at everyone, and saw that everyone was looking at him, waiting for him to make a decision. He had to think secretly: What's the name of the manor? Of course, he had to give a bold name. Thinking about the novels and movies he had read, hey, there was. Liu Ming blurted out: "The manor is called Hu Xiaohehe."

When everyone heard this, they all said good names and had a courage. When Yang Jun heard this, he secretly raised his fingers and thought to himself: "Young Master, how can we manage it?"

Liu Ming was proud of it, and was depressed again. He thought to himself: These are more than 2,000 people. When did I manage so many people? I only had more than 20 people in the transportation company, let alone being the squad leader in the army. There were almost so many people in the regiment. Hey, why not follow the troops' organization? Just as I was about to say, I thought: No. Can the troops be organized now? Let's ask first, what should I do now? So Liu Ming humbly asked Yang Jun: "Old Yang, how to manage the manor in general?"

When Yang Jun saw Liu Ming asking for advice from him, he was a little awkward and was shocked. He secretly warned himself: This person is respectful to the wise and humble, and he is not ashamed to ask questions, and has a heart of the world. This is the image of a saint. He must follow this person and hold this big tree tightly. In this way, he must not be proud and complacent, be complacent, and be jealous of the king. Thinking of this, he restrained his mind and said humbly: "Young Master is loving you, and you dare not ask for advice. What villains know should be offered. Our dynasty has set up a pavilion for ten miles, and ten pavilions are set up a village, and every village has three elders. The village chief is usually one of the three elders, and the village chief is mostly the foundation.

The clan leader is also the position of pavilion leader; and the owner of the manor is the owner of land. The management of the village is all dominated by the village chief and the owner of the manor, but the management of the village chief is all arranged by the public and disputes in the village, and the private property is managed by the housekeeper. The master in the store gives a certain monthly salary, but the apprentice does not pay, and the land is generally rented by the tenant. The rent is only collected every year, and the land can be collected and managed by the department, as long as the food is managed, but the foreman needs to be arranged. Moreover, the manor is huge and generally requires many guards to ensure the safety of the manor. The owner of the manor also needs several servants and several maids."

Yang Jun stopped here and looked at Liu Ming and said: "If the land you bought is 50 million yuan for mature land, it should be worth 10 million yuan even if it is wasteland now. Such a huge land is like hiring a tenant, a hundred households are enough; if the 300 young and strong people are not good at summoning the troops, and now the young master is more than 2,300 people, even if it is 10,000 mu of land, all of which are ripe for Anping, and the annual ripe land is 1 and a half stone, if it is ripe for two a year, it will be just enough for us to fill our stomachs, and the surplus grain is at most only 2,000.
