"More than 2,000 people ......"

Qiu Hao was still more concerned about the number of his tenants, after all, it was directly related to the harvest of the fields, and asked, "How many people are there?"

Huang Kuan's face was embarrassed when he heard this, he couldn't answer, and he was at a loss for what to do with the mango juice.

Qiu Hao chuckled, patted his head and said, "Go and call Fu Bolai, also, the mango juice is finished, and the bottle can't be thrown around!"

"Got it!"

Huang Kuan ran out of the backyard with a cigarette, and not long after, a middle-aged man in a gray shirt staggered into the yard.

"Childe!"

Qiu Hao nodded, the housekeeper Sun Fu in front of him was introduced by the people, I heard that he has been conscientious and conscientious, and his ability is also outstanding, specifically he is good at collecting rent, worthy of the owner, and not hated by the tenants, such a talent is rare in this era!

It's a pity that the previous owner was robbed by pirates and went bankrupt, and he had no livelihood, and then a serious illness struck, and all the silver he had saved over the years was used up, and he hurriedly went to the house to find a job when he first recovered.

Originally, Sun Fu and Huang Yun and others called Qiu Hao "master" or "owner", but Qiu Hao was not happy, and felt that the two titles either showed themselves old, or they were too angry, so Sun Fu, who was good at observing words and feelings, immediately changed his mouth to "Gongzi Ye", Qiu Hao's eyelids jumped when he first heard it, and he felt that he had become the Gusu Murong Fu who was determined to rejuvenate Dayan in Jin Yong's pen, although he didn't like Murong Fu, but in order to reflect the majesty of the landlord, Qiu Hao also recognized it!

"Fu Bo, how many tenants do we have in Qinghuanzhuang?"

Sun Fu was humble and calm, but his face was still sickly pale, and he stroked his goat's beard with his left hand and said: "At present, there are a total of five hundred and eighty-seven tenant households, of which there are two thousand one hundred and fifty young people between the ages of fourteen and forty!"

"Can these young men grow 25,000 acres of land?" Qiu Hao asked emphatically.

Sun Fu twisted his beard and said in a deep voice: "With the four hundred ploughing cattle provided by Gongzi, as long as the fields are not dry, theoretically they can all be cultivated, but it is ......"

"Just what?"

"Son, in addition to a hundred horses, you have raised 400 good ploughing cattle to the tenants' homes, aren't you afraid that they will secretly sell the cattle and leave, which will not only lose the ploughing cattle, but also delay the farming time!"

Qiu Hao waved his hand and said, "I thought it was a big problem." I can't do this, because Qinghuanzhuang is only five acres of land, and there is no big cowshed that can accommodate hundreds of cows in one fell swoop, and it is troublesome for the cattle to gather too much, either it is easy to make trouble or it is easy to get sick. ”

Sun Fu was still puzzled when he heard this, although it was natural for tenants to help landlords raise cattle, but those tenants must know the roots, and those landlords' cattle were far less than a few hundred heads. It's just that Qiu Hao has just arrived, and it is easy to be fooled by tenants, and there is an important point, that is, Lingao has always been full of bandits, and the five hundred cows and horses are too eye-catching, and it is easy to attract many bandits to watch.

Qiu Hao roughly knew what Sun Fu was thinking, and continued: "As for your worries, it's nothing, just a few cows, which can not only test people's hearts, but also fight crime, and have a positive effect on building a harmonious and happy Qinghuanzhuang, and my son can afford to lose!"

"Childe......" Sun Fu smiled wryly, is Childe too naïve to be a fledgling, or is he really strong enough to ignore Xiaoxiao? He thought that there were only twenty nursing homes in the village, shook his head, twenty nursing homes were too few, two hundred was about the same, and persuaded: "Son, Qiongzhou Mansion has always been plagued by bandits, and even the officers and soldiers are not good birds, if they come to commit a big attack, it will not be a few cattle that will be lost at that time, you must take precautions as soon as possible!"

"Huh? Soldiers... Are there still Ming officers and soldiers in Lingao? Qiu Hao was really puzzled, he checked the information when he came, the Li riot in Qiongzhou Mansion from last year to March this year was suppressed by the Qing Dynasty, and he thought that the Ming officers and soldiers in Lingao were hanging!

"Yes, last year's Li riot was extended to this year, and the general stationed in the county seat has died, but there are three other battalions in this county, namely the Ma Yuan Battalion, the Bolton Battalion and the Nanding Battalion, each battalion has a total of one person or a hundred generals, and a battalion of fifty soldiers!"

Qiu Hao frowned slightly, and suddenly asked, "Hey, where is Jinyiwei?"

Although the Ming Dynasty was almost paralyzed, and the Jinyi Wei was very depressed, Sun Fu still carefully probed left and right, and whispered: "There are two guards in Lingao, one is near the high mountain ridge eight miles northwest of the county, this guard is the closest to us, and the other is near Nanbao, more than sixty miles south of the county, which is in the upper reaches of the Wenlan River, and it can reach us in half a day." Although the two guards are loosely armed, they can also pull out hundreds of capable military households! ”

"Fauber, should I be wary of officers and guards?" Although Qiu Hao has conjectures in this regard, he has illusions after all and wants to confirm it.

Sun Fu nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, Gongye, there is no reason these days, whether it is an officer or an officer, a rogue, or a Tartar, it is burning, killing and looting for us people, so if Gongzi wants to protect his family business, he must develop group training!"

"It's another development team training ......"

Qiu Hao yawned, rubbed his forehead with his right hand and said, "Alas, farming is not peaceful, Fu Bo, do you think I should have how many group training, recruiting people from the tenants?"

When Sun Fu heard this, a big stone fell in his heart, and the prince in front of him was what he was optimistic about, not only rich and rich, but also tolerant, cough! It's rare that the prince seems to be alone, so he doesn't have to worry about offending anyone by accident, this life is better, and he doesn't want to be ruined!

"Group training can be recruited anywhere, but it is indeed the best to recruit from among the tenants, because the tenants have families and know the roots, but how many people should be recruited, I dare not say anything!"

Qiu Hao's right hand rhythmically tapped on the Taishi chair and began to think about how much group training should be developed. I can only stay in this time and space for ten years, that is, from now on to the end of July of the twelfth year of Shunzhi, according to historical records, it seems that during this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was busy stabilizing the Central Plains to attack the Southern Ming, although the Qiongzhou Mansion sent troops over a few times, but those actions should be aimed at the anti-Qing generals, such as Hong Tianzhen, Chen Wu, etc., and they didn't seem to have much impact on themselves.

Then there is the local power struggle in Qiongzhou Mansion, a few hundred people is considered a very large force, and there is no difficulty in developing hundreds of regiments by themselves, if it were not for the fact that it is not to attract the oscillation of time and space and the attention of the Qing court, it is no problem to develop thousands of people.

Then there is the problem of piracy, which is also necessary to take precautions, fortunately, the Zheng family dominates the Southeast China Sea, and the scale of pirates who come to Qiongzhou Mansion is generally not large, and hundreds of regiments are enough to deal with it.

In the end, it is a threat from the level of rivers and lakes, Qiu Hao does not dare to underestimate the ability of martial artists, especially the innate martial artist and the shamanic Jindan real blood demon, the threat is too great, although the possibility of encountering it is very small, but it should be taken precautions as soon as possible.

"Fu Bo, it is indeed time to develop group training, and the number of people is tentatively set at five hundred."

Sun Fu twisted his beard and smiled: "That's right, the son's family has a great cause, and with five hundred group training, it is enough to gain a foothold!" It's just that when to form a group practice, I suggest that the sooner the better! ”

Qiu Hao understood and ordered: "Fu Bo, you can do this now!" Men between the ages of 18 and 25 are required to be in good health, no adulterers, and no bad habits are preferred. If you meet some special talents, the conditions can be appropriately relaxed! ”

Sun Fu's eyes flashed: "Hey, why don't you choose a group practice from the tenant farmers?" ”

"Because they can concentrate on farming!"

Sun Fu didn't seem to agree, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything in the end, and asked: "Son, it takes a lot of money to form a regiment for training, and it is the same as the army in the army, you have to pay a salary, you see?"

"The regimental training salary is the same as Chongzhen's military salary at that time, two taels of silver a month, and tell them, Gongzi, I am very merciful, including food and shelter, plus fifty catties of white flour, as long as there is no violation of military discipline, there will be no deduction or arrears in military salary, if the training is completed well and the task is done beautifully, the military salary can be increased!"

"Huh?" Sun Fu was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't suspect that Qiu Hao was lying, and hurriedly persuaded: "Son, the military salary you give is too high, in my opinion, you can add half a tael of silver to their food!"

Qiu Hao shook his head: "You don't have to say more, just do as I say!"
