Liu Yuhan bought the Lan Family Manor through County Magistrate Zhu, spending a full 3,000 taels. The Lan Family Manor was large, with a four-story house and 500 acres of fertile farmland.

The village wasn't far from the county town, about eight miles away. Liu Yuhan and his daughter cleaned out the house, repainted it, and renovated it. They hung a sign on the gate that read "Liu's Residence."

The 500 mu of fertile land was planted with rice and belonged to the Liu family. Liu Daling refused to put his name on the house and wanted to change the name of the house in the city to his granddaughter, so Zhuangzi wrote Liu Yuhan's name.

Liu Yuhan selected 20 men and women over the age of 18 through the recommendation of Mr. and Mrs. Zhang from the Fulai Village School. These people had studied hard and diligently in the past few months, had achieved some results, and had stable temperaments. He planned to train them to be capable assistants.

Some followed Liu Yao to learn accounting, and some followed the village chief to learn management, teaching them how to get started as soon as possible.

The Liu family's school was no longer able to accommodate the students, so Village Chief Lin and the new head of the village discussed building a new and larger school in Fulai Village.

The village chief uncle and village chief Lin came forward to ask the villagers to contribute money and manpower to build the school. This was the school belonging to their Fulai Village, and everyone had an obligation to contribute.

After the school was completed, the Liu family moved it to the village school. The Liu family donated two hundred taels of silver to build it. They also introduced three teachers to the school through Master Zhang. The school was large and bright, with ten rooms in total, not including the teachers' quarters. They were made of blue bricks and tiles, and the floor was paved with stone slabs.

More and more people came to school, and even people from nearby villages came to study at Fulai Village School.

Through Jiang Hu's visits and selection, the beggars from Changle County were taken in to Liujia Village, a total of more than 200 people.

They were asked to sign contracts for training, with some left to take care of the farmland first, and some taken to Fulai Village to live in the former Liu Family School.

Because of Kuwa and his friends' story, these beggars had long heard about the Liu family in Fulai Village, and they were very envious of them. They had never thought that one day they would also become workers of the Liu family!

They now have food, drink, shelter, clothes and shoes to wear, formal jobs and wages. They are no longer displaced, they are no longer hungry and cold, they are no longer beaten, scolded and looked down upon, and they can even read and write of their own will. As long as they work hard enough and are good enough, they can run for the position of manager or accountant in the future. They are grateful for the life they have now, they are grateful to the Liu family, and they are grateful to the eldest daughter of the Liu family!

Because of this significant act, the Liu family was widely publicized by County Magistrate Zhu in the county capital. After consulting with the prefectural governor Huo Jinhai, the family was awarded a plaque that read "A Family of Benevolent Conduct." This completely elevated the Liu family's reputation, which subsequently boosted sales of their products.

After Craftsman Niu finished building the school in Fulai Village, he began to build several large workshops and workers' dormitories near Liujiazhuangzi in the county seat.

Liu Yuhan plans to build another soap workshop, a pharmaceutical workshop, and a vermicelli workshop. She is considering exporting these products to other cities or even the capital.

Liu Yuhan and his father were studying how to cultivate honey in the orchard. The fruit trees had been growing for a year and were well managed by more than a dozen soldiers.

To run a bee farm, they needed beehives and beekeeping tools, so they could only source the materials available at that time. If there were no bee colonies, they would ask hunters to find them. But since it was already late autumn and finding them was difficult, they would wait until the following spring.

Liu Yuhan discussed with his family that the apiary would be managed by a dozen hunters. The profits would be divided according to the profit sharing system: the Liu family would provide the site and the initial material costs, with 50% going to them and the remaining 50% going to the hunters. Honey harvested from the apiary would first be supplied to the Liu family.

The hunters were naturally willing to do so, without overthinking it. They trusted the Liu family. Because of this trust, the apiary grew larger and larger, and the profits they made became ever greater. They were incredibly grateful to the Liu family, but that's a story for another time.
