Then George spoke up. He said Harris and I could get a hotel built for us, if we liked, and have some people made to put in.
(From "three men in a boat)
Could you explain what does it mean: "have some people made to put in"?

It is sarcastic.
You don't like the existing hotels, so you can have one built especially for you. You don't like the existing people either, so you can have some new people created especially for you and put them in the hotel. |

The sentential structure can be broken down into:
We need some people to put in the hotel and have them made (created). |
