All the way through the residential area outside the village, Liu An finally came to the gate of the manor.

The guards saw that Liu An and his party were riding high-headed horses, and they were vigilant, so they rang the brass bell.

When Liu An came to the door and dismounted, the guard saw Liu An's appearance clearly.

Before leaving Zhuoxian, Liu An had ordered Xiahoulan that after he left, the matter of accepting the victims continued, but the new victims were not allowed to enter the manor.

These gate guards obviously entered the manor before Liu An left, so they knew what the owner of Liu's manor looked like.

Seeing Liu An, the guard was excited, and the owner of the village left for half a year and finally returned.

They are all poor people who were rescued by Liu An, and they are all grateful for Liu An's grace to save their lives, and they have a very good impression of Liu An.

After the excitement, the guards remembered to open the gate to welcome the owner.

At this time, because the doorbell was ringing, the escort team responsible for the security of the manor had already gathered.

Several guards pushed the gate and excitedly shouted to the villager: "It's the owner!" The owner is back! Hurry up and inform Chief Xiahoutun! ”

It was Zuo Wei who led the escort team over, and at this time he also saw Liu An outside the door, and hurriedly ordered one person to inform Xia Houlan.

At the same time, he himself hurriedly came to Liu An and said, "I have only seen the owner!" ”

Liu An helped Zuo Wei up and said with a smile: "I've worked hard for you this time!" ”

After Gao was promoted to the county lieutenant of Zhuo County, the safety of the manor was all handed over to Zuo Wei, and what Liu An said about his hard work was referring to this matter.

"Where the duty lies, don't dare to say bitterness!" Zuo Wei hugged his fists.

Liu An smiled, handed over the horses to the Zhuang people, asked them to bring them to feed, and said as he walked into the manor: "Let's go, let me see what changes have happened in the village in half a year!" ”

Liu's manor is divided into three parts, and the innermost side is a small courtyard covering an area of more than three acres that Liu An originally fenced.

Outside the small courtyard is an outer manor covering an area of 400 acres, and parallel to the outer manor, there is also a manor covering an area of 600 acres.

Between the 400-acre manor and the 600-acre manor, there is a wall, but there are several gates built in between, connecting the two sides of the manor.

This is the scale of the manor planned by Liu An before he left Zhuo County, but the outer wall was not completely enclosed at that time, and half a year has passed, and the wall has been fully enclosed.

For safety reasons, an arrow tower was built every ten meters or so inside the wall.

In addition, the livestock farm, horse farm, and martyr's garden that Liu An requested at that time have also been improved.

In addition to the building requested by Liu An, Xiahoulan also had two additional courtyards built.

One of them was naturally built for Liu An as his independent residence in the manor.

The thousand-acre manor may seem very large, but most of the area is used for construction and farming, so there is not much free space.

As a result, Liu An's yard is not particularly large, just a small courtyard, in addition to the kitchen, study, living hall and other functional houses, there are only three houses for living.

However, Liu An does not often live in the manor, so it doesn't matter.

And even if they live permanently, only themselves and their mothers live in the courtyard, and at best a house is set aside for temporary guests, which is completely sufficient.

The other courtyard covers a large area, but all the houses built in it are separate single rooms, which were specially built by Xiahoulan for members above the level of Zhuang Neitun Chief.

Each person has a single room, and each tun chief eats with everyone in the village, no need to cook, just live, but also can meet the needs of life.

It's just that some of them have been wronged, Zhuang Shangtun is a talented person, and if he is placed elsewhere, at least at the level of a housekeeper, he can at least get an independent yard in Dahaoqiang's house.

Of course, grievances are only temporary.

Liu An is now the county magistrate of Zhuo County, and the ownerless wasteland near the manor can already be allocated in an appropriate amount, as long as it is not too out of line, no one will care.

After a while, he will be in full control of Zhuo County, and he can continue to expand the manor, and assign an independent courtyard to each of his high-level officials, and the rest of the villagers will also need to build some more houses.

If he remembers correctly, the Zhuang people still live in a large shop for thirty or forty people.

These people are Liu An's own people, if they can, Liu An will naturally do his best to give them a better life.

But it's still the same sentence, Dou Mien is promoted to hatred, and endless giving will only spoil people, and Liu An has to think about it again in this regard.

It is better to let the bankers strive for a better life through their own efforts, rather than Liu An's unilateral gift.

After that, Liu An came to the reservoir to take a look, and found that the reservoir was operating normally, so he stopped paying attention.

During this period, when the chiefs heard that the owner had returned, they all gathered one by one and followed Liu An.

When he noticed that the tun chiefs were following behind him, Liu An introduced Lu Bu and Jia Xu to the tun chiefs, and then asked Qu Ze, who was most familiar with farming, to take Jia Xu to see the crops on the village.

After a general look in the village, Liu An was quite satisfied with the construction of the manor, and all the projects were completed, so that even if he faced the yellow scarf next year, the manor would be able to protect itself or hold out until the reinforcements arrived.

Liu An put aside other things in the village for the time being, and the first thing to be solved was to find out whether there were people with bad morals or bad intentions in the village.

Liu An asked his leaders to gather all the people who were attached to Liu's manor and gather in the open space outside the east gate of the manor.

He had to personally check and check everyone's attributes to rest assured.

The Zhuang people are busy everywhere, except for the elderly and immature children with limited mobility, everyone has their own work to do, and Liu's Manor does not raise idlers.

Some people are continuing to build houses, some people are cleaning up the fields, some people are cleaning up the feedlots, some people are grinding chili powder, and some people are playing cotton using the simple cotton method that Xia Houlan came up with.

It took half an hour for the chiefs to gather everyone outside the east gate.

According to Liu An's request, the Zhuang people were divided into two parts, one part was the one he entered the village before he left Zhuo County, and the other part was the disaster victims who were accepted later.

Liu An took Lu Bu and the twenty guards and asked them to pay attention to their own safety, while he himself walked slowly past the front of the Zhuang people's ranks, his eyes patrolling every Zhuang person present.

Once you find that your loyalty is too low or the attribute in the last column is phase, you will point it out, and your own personal guard will come forward to bring it out.

As of today, there are more than 4,000 people in Liu's Manor, and it took Liu An two quarters of an hour to pick out two people from the team before leaving Zhuo County, and a full fifty people from the other team!

After all the people were singled out, Liu An ordered the tun chief to dismiss the rest of the villagers and let them return to their respective stations to continue working.

Then Liu An looked at the fifty-two people, and this time Liu An took a serious look at their attributes.

To Liu An's surprise, among the fifty-two people, one of them actually reached 92 points!

Liu An was taken aback, and quickly looked at his name, this person's strength was so high, it was impossible for him to be unknown.

On it together
