Chapter 3 Basics
The new book is not easy, so if you have tickets, please support me. Thank you!
After the cheers of the merchants and militias calmed down, the manor officially belonged to Wang Yue.
Without the housekeeper Meng Qi, there are many people in the manor who know more about various affairs. After all, Meng Qi is not able to play with thousands of people in the manor alone. He is just a manager, and there are other people who do things.
Wang Yue found these people and explained to Zhao Wu and others some things, and then began to inspect and receive the entire manor and learn about all kinds of things in the manor.
When he was in Yin Yin, when the little gentleman of Lu Li said he wanted to hand over the manor of 600 households to him, he did not have much idea at that time. Only when he really took over the inspection would he know what the manor of 600 households meant.
A manor of 600 households means that 600 households and more than 2,000 people produce and live, is almost equivalent to a small town.
The entire Linan Manor includes a manor main body for the owner of the manor to relax, and all the operations of the manor revolve around this.
Because of war, the manor is in a semi-fortress state, with stone walls that are five feet thick and two feet high on all sides. There are defensive facilities such as watchtowers and arrow towers, as well as places and houses for soldiers to perform, hide, and garrison.
In addition to the building where the owner of the manor lives, there are a large number of guest rooms and a hundred houses where servants live. There are brewery, mill, kitchen, various craftsman houses, warehouses, prison rooms and various functional rooms, all of which are made of simply fired blue bricks.
The butler Meng Qi obviously used this manor as his own private property to operate it, and the buildings and various tools in the interior are all well-maintained and well-maintained.
Outside the walls of the manor yard are a large number of simple and crude houses, where informal servants, savages and former servants live here.
Near the manor is a semi-earth and stone building. The semi-earth and stone building has a small courtyard-like structure, which is the house of the wild people.
The savage owes not much debt and has his own property, so he is still living a life of barely.
Extending out, there are mostly dirt houses, most of which are not big, and many are in the same room. The family eats and wears in this room, making it a residence for the servants.
In this way, there are more than 500 houses outside the manor.
Among these houses are also buildings that raise poultry and livestock.
From these houses, there are large tracts of land.
The land includes more than 12,000 acres of land, three thousand acres of forests, thousands of five hundred acres of pond water, and rivers within the manor (the total area is about 10 square kilometers, the length and width are about three kilometers long and width, about the land of several modern villages).
"What a good foundation."
Accompanied by Wang Yue, Wang Yue couldn't help but sigh.
With this manor, he could easily place more than a thousand militias.
The agricultural technology in this era is not very developed. Whether it is tools or farming technology, there is still room for great improvement and improvement. With the improvement of agricultural planting technology and this manor, he is more than enough to support thousands of people.
However, considering that although he has sovereignty over the manor, he still has to pay taxes to the Lu Li family, he still needs to give a discount, but this is only a farming matter.
In terms of fortifications and business, he, an alien from a more developed civilization, had just walked around and was full of thoughts.
These are the big part of profits.
As the evening approached, after patrolling the manor land, Wang Yue returned to the manor again. When he left the manor, he also explained to arrange some things, which must have been completed at this time.
"Zhao Wu, have all the people in the village households counted?"
"Yes, young master, it has been counted." Zhao Wu replied: "There are 2,152 households in this manor, including 943 men and 1,209 women. Except for the elderly and weak, there are 1,833 people with full ability to work."
"Oh, if I remember correctly, the original population of this manor is close to 2,500?" Wang Yue asked in confusion: "Have you missed the hundreds of people?"
"No, young master, you forgot that there are 324 other people who are the slaves of this manor."
Wang Yue nodded: "How many talented people are?"
Zhao Wu knew what he meant. The so-called talented person refers to those who have a skill, either literacy, or are proficient in carpenters, muds, stonemasons, etc. On the way to Luli, Wang Yue had already screened the militia in the militia team by training them.
"Young masters, most of them are Zhuang slaves, with 45 people. They helped the butler deal with various things in the past."
"Similarly, all kinds of craftsmen are also slaves of the farm and they all work for the manor. I have ordered people to sort them out."
"People from outside only know how to grow some farms and raise some poultry and livestock."
Wang Yue was not surprised to hear this result.
On the way to Luli, when he counted the militia, talented people were often slaves of Zhuangzi, doctors and warriors.
There are two points that cause this result: one is the conscious collection of power users, and the other is the conscious cultivation of power users. They undoubtedly understand the importance of various knowledge, so they consciously monopolize and control them in the hands of themselves and the slaves who serve them.
It is often impossible for ordinary savages to obtain similar knowledge.
Like Chao You, a samurai family, had adventures, and later became a savage, a servant, a slave, a third leader of the Black Hu thief, and a martial arts camp. He was willing to work hard to learn all kinds of knowledge during the battle with the Black Hu during the Black Hu fight. It is simply an exception.
If his experience is taken out, it will be considered half of the protagonist template, which will be enough for this book.
Only those Chinese with wealthy assets can go to some big cities, spend some money, and learn something.
Like Meng Qi, the manor manager before, who could spend a lot of money, he could send his grandson to the capital to study literature, and he could also go to places like the Warrior Hall, the Kendo Hall, and other places to learn swordsmanship and martial arts in order to become a warrior.
With previous experience in these personnel classification, Zhao Wu and others are extremely relaxed to do.
"Have you confirmed the matters of standing and preparation in the militia?" After understanding the manor's talent reserves, Wang Yue asked about the militia again.
"It's confirmed, young master." Zhao Wu said without hesitation: "According to the instructions of the young master, the young master went to inspect the manor. I have called the snake-patterned warriors. Among the militia and the military personnel presented by Doctor Luli, six hundred people who are strong and strong, and have seen the battlefield killing field, are always equipped with force under the young master."
"And according to the military system revised by the young master on his way back, it was determined to be six hundred-man teams. However, because some equipment has not been adjusted and restructured, I can only do physical strength, strength, array training for the time being. The battle formation mentioned by the young master may take several days to fully form and carry out training."
"The other 523 militiamen and the screened military soldiers will be transformed from soldiers to farmers. At the same time, the reserve system will be implemented in the entire farmers and shoulder the responsibility of organizing other farmers to conduct militia training during the busy farming period."
"Very good. In just half an afternoon, Zhao Wu, you guys have done so many things. It's really hard." Wang Yue nodded, but said, "But there is another thing that must be paid attention to. Can any invasion of the village households in the militia happen? "
Zhao Wu laughed: "The young master's order, how can the militia dare to disobey? Do they want to die?"
Wang Yue nodded: "This matter must be focused on whenever I am going to take charge of it. I will also prepare a "Civil Management Measures for Linan Manor Households" and "Snake Yu Standing and Preparing Force Management Measures", which will be handed over to you for execution tomorrow morning."
He said again: "Zhao Wu, by reason, my affairs should be a military and political branch, but at this time the foundation was invented, and there were not many talents in my hands, so I couldn't even build a basic framework. I can only trouble you for the time being, both parties will have some trouble."
"Tonight, as I told you before, after eating late, all militias will temporarily camp out of the open space outside the manor."
"But tomorrow, the regular and preparatory households must be separated."
"Always have force to ensure that they have sufficient food. They must pay regular payments and food according to their level every month. In the future, they can also get rewards for killing and defeating the enemy on the battlefield, but daily training cannot be stopped."
"Preparation farmers have been integrated into the manor management system and have officially started to organize production. This year's wheat has been planted as a secondary matter. The first thing is to build a standing military camp, and the second is to build a housekeeper's residence."
"I saw the residences of those farmers before, most of them were crowded in small rooms, and they lived in a less than livestock. Such a living environment would not be easy to produce."
"So, my master decided to organize them to demolish and rebuild the original houses into brick and tile houses, and provide supporting living facilities."
"The property of the newly built house belongs to this manor, but all the housekeepers of this manor can rent it at a low price. Ten years later, the ownership belongs to them."
"House renting, will the ownership belong to the housekeeper in ten years?"
Zhao Wu was a little surprised and said, "In the past, I only saw the young master's murder, but today I first saw the kindness of the young master. If I had changed to other manor owners and lords, I would have wanted to exploit more people from the manor. If I could be so good to the manor, I would probably only be the young master in the world."
Wang Yue smiled. Zhao Wu only said that he was kind, but he didn't know his mystery. In his eyes, the old manor management model in this world was too backward, but he did not explain and continued: "In addition to building residences, road traffic and water conservancy irrigation in the manor are also the top priority."
"In addition, there is another extremely important thing, that is, education, which is a long-term event, but it must also be included in the agenda."
"Think about it carefully, the foundation is invented, and all kinds of things are all in a mess. However, in the past few days, I will come up with general rules and frameworks, and I will give them to you before going to Luliyi to attend the Little Gentleman's wedding in three days. You just need to follow the implementation."
"No!" Zhao Wu bowed and asked again: "Young Master, don't you need me to accompany you when you go to Luliyi?"
Wang Yue shook his head and smiled, "Zhao Wu, I have spent so much effort to attract you. Your extraordinary swordsmanship is only one aspect, and the more important thing is your ability, capable of being the only one side, and it is not to ask you to be a guard who can watch with you."
"You also know that my master's ambition is. If you want to achieve it in the future, you will be entrusted with important tasks. You will become an officer. With your ability at this time, it is obviously not enough, but your learning ability is not bad."
"I have time and will teach you something."
"Zhao Wu, thank you for your respect." Zhao Wu took a deep breath and bowed a big gift: "I will definitely live up to your wishes."
"What's going on with Shi Guang following you these days?" After explaining some things clearly, Wang Yue asked him again, the student.
During this period, he had no time to clone his body in many things, and he was still a way to teach Shi Guang by words and deeds, and he was sent to practice from time to time.
The best subordinates around him, whether it is swordsmanship, wisdom, management, or execution, is undoubtedly Zhao Wu, who was the third leader of the Black Hu family and the elite of the martial arts camp. Shi Guang was arranged by him to do things under him. Zhao Wu would teach him some swordsmanship in his spare time.
"Very good." Zhao Wu never praises people easily: "Young Master, this student, is a good seedling."
"He has a great understanding of swordsmanship. After I corrected some wrong perceptions for him, swordsmanship is no longer under the young gentleman Yin that day. Although he lacks some in his work, he is only limited by his experience. He is willing to learn a lot. Many things are better than snake-patterned warriors."
"That's good." Wang Yue sighed and said to Zhao Wu: "After receiving the manor, we seem to have thousands of people, but there are too few talents available in our hands. It is far from enough to rely on solicitation alone."
"According to the current situation of this young master, although I have a title of a young master, I don't have an orthodox reputation or territory, and there will be no talents to invest in. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate all kinds of talents in the end."
