"Look at the announcement. It says that the governor of Qingzhou and the King of Bohai, Blazing Sun, is moving a large number of people to Qingzhou. Whether it's disaster victims, refugees, or beggars, they can all live in Qingzhou. They'll even be given food …"
"That's right, that's right. The notice also said that as long as one family has a village hero, they will give food to the whole family. I don't know if it's true or not. If it is, I will let my third child become a village hero …"
"You don't even know this? I heard that Qingzhou has already done this. If a family has a soldier, it's guaranteed that the whole family will be full! "
"I've heard about this before, but I don't know if it's true or not. It seems like it's true. * * * "
"Indeed. There are people in the family who are in charge of the food trade. They've long advised us to move to Qingzhou. Now that Lord Blazing Sun is giving out food, I'll return home and take care of this matter …"
"That makes sense … Li San, please wait for a moment. I'll return with you …"
“.....”
After the three strategies of the East County were decided, Yang Rui started to deal with this matter the next day. During this time, Yang Rui, Cheng Yu, Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Guo Jia split into three groups. They first went to Dongping, Faping, and Dongwuyang Counties.
Yang Rui and Zhang Ning went to Faping County, Cheng Yu and Zhang Liao went to Yangping County, and Gao Shun and Guo Jia went to Dongwuyang County.
These three counties were close to the border of the East County, including Dongwuyang County, where Liu Bei was about to take over. Yang Rui started from these three counties to get rid of the unstable factors at the border.
The moment Yang Rui and the others arrived at the counties, they worked together with the local officials to send out notices everywhere. The same was true for the towns and territories. The NPC Liegeman in the three counties quickly learned about the relevant news. It caused quite a stir. Almost everyone in the streets and alleys were talking about this topic.
"I heard that Blazing Sun and the King of Bohai are evacuating the civilians. They're going to war with Prefect Liu Dai again. It'll be too late if we don't take this opportunity …"
"What?! Another war?! "
"Shh … Keep your voice down. It's just hearsay. Think about it. Lord Blazing Sun is migrating and recruiting soldiers. I think the possibility of a war is quite high. It's not something that's been casually spread … "
"Err … No matter what, I can't stay in the East County any longer. The Yellow River is breached at every turn, and there are constant battles. I'm going home to discuss the migration. Goodbye!"
“.....”
Unknowingly, some rumors about Yang Rui's various actions had unknowingly spread, and sometimes, these rumors had a strong motivation.
Normal propaganda had already spread far and wide. In addition, there were all sorts of discussions among the NPC civilians. A day later, when it was time to register for the migration, the three counties and their subordinate towns were already packed with people. The scene could be said to be extremely lively.
Within half a day, Dongping, Faping, and Dongwuyang counties had taken the initiative to register for the migration, accounting for more than 20% of the total population of the counties!
Yang Rui and the others did not expect such a scene. His purpose of migrating the NPC civilians of the East County was to meet the population demand of Qingzhou, and more importantly, to stabilize the current situation of the East County.
With so many NPCs participating in the migration, it was enough to cause a huge commotion and panic. This was not something that Yang Rui wanted to see.
Therefore, Yang Rui urgently coordinated with Cheng Yu, Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Guo Jia, and let the counties release another announcement, stating that the main purpose of this migration and recruitment was to stabilize the order of the counties in the northern part of the East County. Priority was given to the migration of the NPC Liegeman who had lived the most difficult lives and did not have a basic foundation and security.
This announcement was also released on the streets of the major counties and the subordinate towns. Finally, the people's hearts were stabilized. Some of the NPC Liegeman who had originally followed the trend took the initiative to withdraw from the migration.
Even so, the number of NPCs who decided to migrate in each county exceeded one million. There were still too many NPCs who were struggling on the line of starvation!
Fortunately, Yang Rui had two items, the Sky Castle and the Storage Ring. In particular, the Sky Castle could accommodate a large number of people. Yang Rui immediately put the two items into use and began to transport the NPC civilians to Qingzhou.
For this reason, Yang Rui directly upgraded the Sky Castle to an Advanced City to accommodate more NPC civilians.
After the Sky Castle was upgraded to an Advanced City, its miniaturized appearance had shrunk from the size of an egg to the size of a grape. It did not grow bigger, but it became more condensed!
In order not to expose the existence of the Sky Castle, Yang Rui only used it in the County Magistrate's Mansion. He asked all the NPCs who were willing to migrate to gather in the County Magistrate's Mansion, and then transferred them to the Sky Castle in one go. During the entire process, no outsiders were allowed to enter the mansion.
After the internal territory was upgraded to an Advanced City, the internal space of the Sky Castle was greatly expanded. Yang Rui had at most settled nearly one million NPC civilians in the Sky Castle at one time, but still, they only occupied half of the space.
However, after carrying nearly one million NPCs, the grape-sized Sky Castle began to slowly descend from its original floating state. Yang Rui was worried that there would be problems if it carried too many NPCs, so he stopped moving the NPCs into the Sky Castle.
After trying it out, Yang Rui also discovered that the Sky Castle's flying speed in the "fully loaded" state had become very slow. It was truly like a white cloud drifting slowly.
After Yang Rui settled the transferred NPCs properly, he tried to fly the Sky Castle in the "unloaded" state again. He found that as the internal territory continued to upgrade, the Sky Castle's flying speed had become much slower than before!
This situation made Yang Rui frown. The Sky Castle's speed had decreased, and when it was really in a state of war, its strategic mobility would undoubtedly be reduced by a lot. It could no longer be like before, where it could cover the entire area of the Japanese region in one or two game days.
However, Yang Rui immediately thought it through. With the development of the game's plot, in the battles that Yang Rui faced in the future, there might not be many situations where he would need to quickly penetrate the enemy's rear like before. In the battles between the warlords, it would be more likely to be fought over one city or one land. The Sky Castle's ability to carry, transfer, and conceal was already enough.
Moreover, when it was not used during wartime, Yang Rui could put it in his backpack and use the teleportation array to achieve rapid transfer. Just like how Yang Rui, the NPC who was currently migrating the East Commandery, used the teleportation array. The Sky Castle only played the role of carrying and did not directly fly.
As for Yang Rui testing the Sky Castle's attributes, it was completely out of curiosity.
After two days, Yang Rui had already migrated more than 3.2 million NPC civilians from Dongping, Faping, and Dongwuyang counties to various places in Qingzhou. Among them, the regions that received the most were the two commanderies that had implemented the farming system and the resource exchange system the earliest, the Kingdom of Qi and the North Sea.
Next, Yang Rui continued to migrate and recruit NPCs from Liancheng, Boping, Yangping, and Dongah counties to Qingzhou. With the previous three counties as a comparison, this time, Yang Rui released the content of the announcement in each county in one go. It highlighted the purpose and target of the migration and did not cause unnecessary emotions among the NPCs.
The remaining two counties, Zhaoping and Linyi, were located within the blueprint of the Wenshui Defense Circle. They were the areas that Yang Rui planned to directly implement the farming system, so they did not participate in the migration and recruitment this time.
At this time, due to a message, Yang Rui directly handed the Sky Castle to Cheng Yu and left directly. This was because the first Bi 'an and the first Warship were launched at almost the same time!
After receiving the news, Yang Rui quickly teleported to Gaotang County and used the Flying Carpet to fly to the place where the Bi 'an and the Warship were to be built — Guhe Town.
"Reporting to my lord, the first Bi 'an and the first Warship have been launched …"
"Good! Very good! "
When Yang Rui arrived at the dock of Guhe Town, a total of 30 high-level carpenters who were responsible for the construction of the Bi 'an and the Warship were already waiting for Yang Rui. However, before they could finish their words, Yang Rui had already praised them and impatiently walked into the dock.
Very quickly, a long and narrow ship entered Yang Rui's eyes. This ship was located in the middle of the high-level dock's waterway. It was about 6 to 7 meters tall, 60 to 70 meters long, and 15 to 16 meters wide. Looking at the size of this ship, there was no doubt that it was the newly launched Bi 'an!
Perhaps it was because his child was pleasing to the eye, although there were no naval soldiers or weapons on the Bi 'an, Yang Rui already felt that this was the most powerful ship he had ever seen in the game!
Yang Rui couldn't help but jump onto the Bi 'an. Although the ship was long and narrow, under the impact of Yang Rui's jump, it only swayed a little. It could be seen that this Bi' an was very stable. One must know that when Yang Rui landed on the deck, he purposely added a little bit of strength. At least, it was equivalent to four or five people landing on the deck at the same time.
After that, Yang Rui walked back and forth between the two floors of the bridge and the cabin several times, inspecting the internal structure of the Bi 'an.
Just as the blueprint of the Bi 'an had described, the two floors of the bridge were equipped with specialized attack points. There were crossbow windows and spear holes on the left, right, front, and back. The first floor of the bridge also had openings. Two rows of 60 oars were installed on the first floor of the bridge. Moreover, the two floors of the bridge were covered with thick cowhide. The space was enough to carry 600 naval soldiers.
Yang Rui was very pleased with the view. From start to finish, a smile hung on his face.
"Reporting to my lord, the Warship is at the dock next door …"
Yang Rui repeatedly scrutinized the bridge several times. Only then did he remember that there was still a Warship that he hadn't seen yet. Hence, he jumped down from the Bi 'an and followed the group of carpenters to the dock next door.
