The reason why Yang Rui asked Xiaohui to build the Water Origin Village was to make it convenient for Mountain Town's soldiers.
Currently, Yang Rui had a few quests that required him to wipe out the NPC camps. The closest and most suitable location for Mountain Town's current strength was the Wenshui Wenyang Pirates' camp. However, although this camp was close, considering the fatigue of the soldiers, it was unrealistic to use Mountain Town as a base to wipe out the monsters.
Therefore, Yang Rui used Xiaohui's in-game identity to build the Water Origin Village. Although the village was built, it could only provide a place for Yang Rui's soldiers to recover their stamina. Moreover, it had to be in an inn and they had to pay the corresponding accommodation fee.
In order to make the development of the players relatively balanced, there was a "Three Don 'ts" rule in the game. "The same player is not allowed to build a second territory, players are not allowed to merge territories, and players are not allowed to exchange population between territories."
These three rules were summed up on the game forum. The game itself did not explicitly state them, but they did exist.
For example, many large game organizations had tried to build many of their member's territories in a predetermined area to form a certain sphere of influence. Then, they tried to let one of the territories annex the other territories.
However, the system notification was: "You have attacked the territory of players of the same faction as the Great Han Dynasty. This is considered a malicious attack. You will be punished with a red name …"
Some people did not believe it and directly attacked one of the territories. In the end, they received a system notification saying, "You have maliciously attacked the territory of a player from the Great Han Dynasty. You will be strictly interrogated by the government and receive the corresponding punishment …"
Not only did the conquered territory have to be handed over immediately, but the attacking party would also be punished by the system and compensate a large amount of money and resources. The territory builder would also have to stay in the system prison for a few days. The gains did not make up for the losses.
Since they were all stuck at the bottleneck of an advanced village and could not merge with each other, the biggest purpose of these game organizations' territories was to help each other defend. However, the Great Han Dynasty was not in chaos yet, so the problem of defense did not exist.
With his previous gaming experience, Yang Rui already knew about this setting. After the Yellow Turban Uprising storyline, players would be given a choice of faction. Only then would players from different factions attack, occupy, or be occupied by each other. Moreover, most of the territories occupied by the other party belonged to the Han Dynasty or the Yellow Turban Faction. Only a small number of players who met the conditions could actually occupy a part of the territory!
Ever since the construction of Water Origin Village was completed, Yang Rui had instructed Xiaohui to focus on the construction of thatched cottages and inns. Then, he started to recruit refugees and build timber factories. Yang Rui was naturally in charge of the food and other resources needed.
Before Xiaohui left, she had entrusted all these matters to Wei Jia, the only person in the village with a basic talent in internal affairs. As for Xiaohui, she had become a hands-off boss!

The Elementary Internal Affairs NPC named "Wei Jia" had 5 points in Force, 15 points in Intelligence, Politics, and Command. His initial level was Level 10! Aptitude: A grade! This was much better than when the village did not have an initial internal affairs staff!
Furthermore, the system had also allocated an A-grade General NPC to the Water Origin Village. Moreover, the initial level was also 10, and the various attribute points were more reasonable.

With these two initial NPCs, Yang Rui generously allowed Xiaohui to leave. As expected, these two NPCs did not disappoint Yang Rui. It did not take long for them to recruit a few refugees. First, they built three thatched huts. Then, they organized the villagers to focus on building an inn.
The newly built Basic Inn could accommodate 50 people, Elementary Inn could accommodate 100 people, Intermediate Inn could accommodate 200 people, Advanced Inn could accommodate 400 people, and so on.
Yang Rui had prepared the required wood for Xiaohui from the beginning. Among them, 10 units of Grade 9 wood were required to upgrade the inn to Intermediate Inn. 10 units of Grade 8 wood and 10 units of Grade 9 wood were required to upgrade the inn to Advanced Inn.
Apart from that, Yang Rui had also spent money to purchase the building blueprints required to upgrade the inn. In the end, after half an afternoon, when the number of villagers in Water Source Village had reached 14, the inn had been upgraded to Intermediate Inn. It could accommodate 200 people, which was just enough to accommodate Chen Li and Chen Ping's 200 soldiers that Yang Rui had brought along.
At this time, the sky had turned dark. It was not until then that Yang Rui realized that while the soldiers could settle down, there was no place for him to rest and recover his strength! Thus, he simply calculated the time and logged off.
A night in the game was about an hour in real life. Yang Rui could use this time to deal with some matters in real life.
When Yang Rui logged on again, the sky was already bright. Chen Li and Chen Ping had already gathered the 200 soldiers who were full of energy. They were only waiting for Yang Rui to log on so that they could rush towards the pirate camp.
The pirate camp was located in a very secluded area. It was located in a deep bay at the bend of the Wenshui River. The bay was surrounded by swamps and shallow grass. It was very difficult for people to reach this area. Yang Rui had already explored the pirate camp once, although he did not dare to get too close. However, he was already familiar with the route.
Due to the existence of the swamps and shallow grass upstream, Yang Rui could only bring his 200 soldiers along the banks of the Wenshui River. Even so, it was inevitable that they would pass through a swamp that was over a hundred meters wide. Before the 200 soldiers could even fight, they were already muddy, as if they had lost a battle. Furthermore, because Yang Rui and the others were too big of a target, they were discovered by the patrolling NPC soldiers early on.
