Wei Xiu'er had an innate talent in business, but that was not the most important thing. Her experience growing up in a merchant family and her experience in business after coming to Qingzhou had the greatest impact. She provided a lot of good suggestions for Yang Rui to come up with specific strategies to encourage merchants.
Two days passed. Yang Rui ordered Chen Lin, Cheng Yu, Sun Qian, and Wei Xiu'er to perfect the various systems and announce them to the various counties in Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou, asking them to organize and implement them as soon as possible.
In the following few days, the various provinces, counties, and prefectures all sent back some feedback. Among them, the NPC Liegeman in Qingzhou had the strongest response. After all, a large number of people had lived a good life through the resource free system. Now that they were suddenly asked to give up their original livelihood and strengthen the farm, many people were not used to it.
Fortunately, Yang Rui and the others had expected such a situation from the beginning and had made relevant arrangements for various places in advance. After similar situations occurred, the officials of various counties and counties in Qingzhou were timely guided, and there were no difficult situations in various places.
In fact, including the various levels of government, most of them did not quite understand Yang Rui's new measures. However, Yang Rui had already established his reputation and authority in Qingzhou. The various levels of government had also benefited greatly from the implementation of the various systems in the past. At this time, although they had some doubts, they still carried out Yang Rui's orders in full detail.
In reality, the NPC Liegeman families in Qingzhou were not only engaged in production. Often, there were people in each family who were engaged in farming, and there were people who were responsible for collecting resources. Most of them had a few acres of land to ensure their survival. Moreover, most of them had surplus food, so it was not very difficult for them to change.
Only a small number of NPC Liegeman families whose entire family was engaged in the production of resources did not have the confidence to suddenly change.
Due to the existence of such a situation, under the guidance of Cheng Yu and Wei Xiu'er, Yang Rui made some considerations when he announced the new system. He temporarily kept the resource exchange office open for three months to prevent panic due to the lack of manpower.
In the game, the growth cycle of food crops had been gradually extended to three months. Apart from the game's annual protection period for new territories, the rest were the same.
During the protection period, there would still be a 4-game day crop planting cycle. After the protection period, it would gradually extend to the current level, and as the game developed, it would continue to extend until it was consistent with reality.
One planting cycle was enough time for the NP Liegeman to transform, develop new land, and plant new crops. This continued until the first harvest was realized. After that, their own land would be able to provide for their living needs.
Under such circumstances, the termination of the resource exchange system in Qingzhou did not cause much of a stir.
The new military service system was only good for NP Liegeman, so there shouldn't be much resistance to it. Yang Rui wasn't worried.
The system that encouraged trade and industry development didn't have much of a benefit for normal NPs. At the same time, it was good for merchants and life professions, so there shouldn't be much difficulty in implementing it.
However, these two systems wouldn't have much effect in a short period of time, so they needed to be implemented step by step.
The implementation of these systems needed time, and Yang Rui didn't have any free time. When he gathered everyone for a meeting, the population situation was brought up. However, at that time, Yang Rui hadn't fully considered it, so he didn't make any corresponding measures.
Later, after Yang Rui thought about it, he prepared to give the population strategy of Qingzhou, Yan, and Xuzhou to the ladies to discuss. Of course, Yang Rui still brought up the main direction. That was to encourage childbirth and regulate marriage.
Yang Rui had already thought of the general measures to encourage childbirth. It was nothing more than giving subsidies during childbirth so that it wouldn't affect the normal work and income of NPC families. Yang Rui's suggestion was to give subsidies for one month of game time before and after childbirth.
Yang Rui's original intention of regulating marriage was to solve the problem of the population imbalance. At this time, in Qingzhou, Yan, and Xuzhou, and even the entire Three Kingdoms region, the proportion of female NPCs was almost twice that of female NPCs.
Yang Rui's starting point was naturally to allow female NPCs to form families and have the opportunity to have children. However, the reality was not what Yang Rui imagined. It wasn't easy to coordinate their marriage leave.
In the game, there was no limit to the number of wives. However, NPCs weren't animals. Yang Rui thought about it again and again, but he couldn't think of a way to guide marriage. After all, everyone's requirements and conditions were different, so it was difficult to reach a consensus.
In the end, Yang Rui only provided a marriage age limit and a channel. He was going to advocate that male NPCs should not be more than 20 years old. At the same time, he was going to advocate that all military officers and soldiers take concubines and give them leave to apply for concubines. The time was temporarily set to two game months.
At the same time, before entering the military, NPCs needed to be married for more than a year and have more than one wife. After all, in the military profession, one's head was always at the waist of one's pants when on the battlefield. There was no guarantee that there would be an accident.
At the end of the day, this change was mostly linked to the military service system. It was almost a benefit for the military officers and soldiers. Yang Rui was also a little helpless about this.
After Yang Rui gave his opinion, he handed the matter of encouraging childbirth and regulating marriage to Zhang Ning and the other nine wives. After a few days, the nine of them had discussed a relatively complete set of plans. After Yang Rui looked at it, it was promulgated.
Unlike the previous few systems, many of the contents of this system were mainly advocacy. Apart from a few targeted regulations, it was more like a guide.
Compared to the previous few systems, the new childbirth and marriage system obviously attracted more attention.
Most of the NPCs were just discussing and excited, especially the young NPCs. Most of them were a little excited. It was difficult for them to stay out of it when it concerned their vital interests. Some were still worried about their livelihood and not being able to support their wives and children. Others were already eager to join the military.
However, the biggest response came from the player community. After the relevant system was promulgated, it quickly spread to the player community. Originally, it was very normal to watch the excitement and talk about it. However, these discussions soon changed.
It seemed that under the guidance of someone, a large group of players began to talk about the system's early marriage, concubines, and even the encouragement of childbirth. In the end, it was raised to the level of ethics.
And this group of players was even more critical of the initiator, Yang Rui. Their words were very unpleasant to hear.
