Yang Rui had brought enough talismans, tents, and rations. The NPC Liegeman transported by the ships would not have to worry about food and shelter for a short period of time. As long as the 101 villages were able to plan their production in time, all 300,000 NPCs would be able to settle down.
The 300,000 NPC Liegeman that Yang Rui brought with him this time were all obtained from Yuan Shu. Previously, they had been exploited by Yuan Shu. Now that they suddenly had food and shelter, they were extremely grateful to Yang Rui.
Under such circumstances, the 300,000 NPC Liegeman were very cooperative. Moreover, these people had also witnessed the strength of Yang Rui's troops when they were in the fleet. Therefore, none of them dared to act rashly. Overall, they were very obedient.
The only problem was that Yang Rui had neglected the time it took for these NPC Liegeman to travel to the various villages. By the time Yang Rui arrived at the nearest village, the NPC assigned to that village had only arrived halfway.
Yang Rui had no choice but to abandon his previous plan of visiting the various villages. Instead, he began to search for the NPC Liegeman that had already been assigned to the various villages. He wanted to understand and solve any problems that might arise along the way.
It was not until five or six game days later that all 300,000 NPCs had arrived at the various villages. Although the time taken was slightly longer, it gave the various villages time to prepare for the arrival of the NPCs. By the time the NPCs arrived at the villages, the various villages had already constructed their own residences.
After that, the work of settling down the NPCs became much easier. Although the number of residences was not enough to accommodate all the new NPCs, with the help of the talismans, accommodations for the NPCs were no longer a problem.
After the arrival of the new NPC forces, a wave of production and construction was set off in the various villages. The focus was mainly on the production of wood and food. Regardless of whether it was the timber factory or the newly developed land, it was a busy scene everywhere.
The current food production cycle was infinitely close to that of reality. Food production would not be as immediate as lumbering. It was already considered good to have two or three harvests in a game year. It was no longer like before, where they could harvest once every four game days.
However, the development of land and food production was one of the most important tasks at the moment. In the future, Yang Rui would have to continuously move a large number of NPC Liegeman over. Even if Yang Rui had sufficient food resources, it was unrealistic to rely solely on distribution.
Although the development of land and food production would not be immediate, it was still building the foundation for future development. Yang Rui had not slacked off from the beginning and emphasized the importance of food production.
During the five or six game days that the 300,000 NPCs were in place, Yang Rui had not been idle. He continuously switched between the NPC Liegeman and the Savage Tribes. While the NPC Liegeman were all in place, the Savage Tribes were already half way through.
There were many Savage Tribes in the eastern part of Yizhou Island. The total number was definitely no less than one million. Moreover, from the situation of killing the clones of the Guardian Beasts of the Savage Tribes, the Savage Tribes should be of the same origin. The clones of the Guardian Beasts of the Savage Tribes were all clones of the Savage Evil Dragon.
However, the Savage Tribes had always had conflicts with each other. The strength of the individual Savage Tribes was not very strong. The largest Savage Tribe did not exceed 100,000 people. Moreover, not all of them were Warriors. The elderly, the weak, women, and children made up a large portion of them.
As a result, Huang Wudie, Guo Jia, and Yang Rui's 200,000 troops advanced very smoothly. In just five or six game days, Yang Rui's troops had advanced from the south to the north. They had advanced more than a third of the Yizhou Island.
Their speed was actually not much slower than the other 300,000 NPC Liegeman. It had to be known that one side was simply rushing, while the other side was moving as they fought.
Throughout the entire process, Taishi Ci and his navy were not of much use. The Savage Tribes did not have a navy, and Yang Rui did not need to move the Scaled Soldiers to help on land.
Under such circumstances, Yang Rui simply ordered Taishi Ci to return along the opened route on the third game day. He also prepared to move the NPCs to the Yizhou Island.
The current route had been successfully opened, so moving the NPCs again did not require too much trouble. He only needed to arrange some escorts and did not need too many warships.
However, the organization of the NPCs still needed to be done by Yang Rui. As a result, when Huang Wudie and Guo Jia's troops had advanced more than half of the Yizhou Island, and three or four game days had passed, Yang Rui used the Void Crossing Airship to return to Xu Province.
In terms of moving the NPCs to the Yizhou Island, Yang Rui still preferred the Liegeman closer to the south. Whether it was from Yuan Shu or from his own territory, the Liegeman NPCs in the south would naturally be more adapted to the Yizhou Island's living environment.
As soon as Yang Rui returned to Xu Province, before he could figure out how to recruit the NPCs, Yuan Shu's emissary had already arrived in Chen Liu County. He took the initiative to mention that he wanted to continue the population and resources exchange with Yang Rui.
This coincidence saved Yang Rui a lot of effort. He no longer needed to deal with the recruitment of the NPC Liegeman. At the same time, it also provided a bargaining chip for the exchange negotiations.
Next, Yang Rui naturally returned to Chen Liu County to meet with Yuan Shu's emissary. He spent half a game day finalizing the 1,000,000 NPC exchange plan. Yuan Shu would provide 1,000,000 NPC Liegeman in exchange for food, East Sea currency, and other resources or gold coins in Yang Rui's hands.
Of course, 1,000,000 NPCs were not something that could be prepared casually. Yang Rui and Yuan Shu's emissary agreed to do the exchange in three to four batches every 30 game days. This was just enough time for the fleet to transport the Liegeman back and forth.
Naturally, the Ethereal Ninja played a role in facilitating this so smoothly. If it weren't for the Ethereal Ninja providing timely information about Yuan Shu's emissary's arrival in Chen Liu County, Yang Rui wouldn't have been able to reach this agreement in time.
Another five to six game days later, Yuan Shu actually quickly organized the first batch of 350,000 NPCs and sent an emissary to contact Yang Rui to discuss the location of the exchange. Only Yuan Shu could do something like this, and with such speed.
At this time, Taishi Ci's fleet had also returned. Yang Rui ordered them to enter the Yangtze River to the south of Guang Ling County and wait for the NPC Liegeman to board.
A few game days later, Taishi Ci personally led 20 ships and set sail again, transporting the second batch of 350,000 NPC Liegeman to Yizhou. The delay was less than 10 game days.
