With a difference of one grade, a second grade soldier was much stronger than a first grade soldier in both offense and defense. This was something Yang Rui was very clear about. The fight with the second grade bandits was a good example. Although Yang Rui and the militia had the absolute advantage in numbers and the initiative, they were still having a hard time and were in danger from time to time.
Every single one of the militia was Yang Rui's favorite, they couldn't be careless! Yang Rui took a few more hits from the podao and ensured that none of the militia suffered any fatal injuries. In the end, he barely managed to take down the second grade bandits!
However, the wealth of a second grade soldier was different. After he happily handed over 100 coppers, the podao in his hand also dropped! There was also a basic knife skill book, which was also very practical. With this basic skill, a first grade soldier could level up to second grade in the beginner barracks. Moreover, the success rate was 100%, there was no need to rely on luck to learn it! However, the drop rate of this skill book was very low.
"Basic Knife Skill: Second grade skill book for soldiers. Allows a first grade militia to level up to a second grade soldier. Required building: Beginner barracks!"
"Podao: Grade: Normal. Attack: 10 – 15. Level Requirement: 10. Durability: A decent weapon! Although it was only the lowest grade weapon of the White Board, it still looked decent, didn't it? It was much stronger than the wooden sticks and pickaxes that Yang Rui had used before! Yang Rui equipped it without hesitation.
After clearing out the 200-plus bandits, Yang Rui naturally needed to properly loot the empty bandit camp. Just from this alone, Yang Rui had earned over 500 Coppers, 600 units of Rations, 100 units of Wood, 100 units of Stones, and 20 sets of clothes with 5 Defense.
"Do you want to destroy the beginner bandit camp? Destroying the camp will give you 1000 coppers as a reward. At the same time, the beginner bandit camp will be upgraded to an intermediate bandit camp! "
The system notification sounded again, Yang Rui decisively chose "No"!
A thousand coppers was definitely not a small sum for Yang Rui at the moment. However, if the bandit camp were to level up to Intermediate, it would mean that the bandits that would spawn would be Fourth Grade soldiers at the very least. This was not something Yang Rui could afford at the moment! The main force of the Yellow Turban Uprising was only 3rd or 4th grade soldiers!
After clearing out the bandit camp, Yang Rui had obtained a total of 1,500 coppers. He had obtained over 500 coppers from the camp, and the Second Grade bandits had contributed over 100 coppers. The remaining First Grade soldiers had only dropped an average of less than four coppers each.
Under normal circumstances, a beginner bandit camp would spawn around twenty First Grade bandits every day. If the only Second Grade soldier was killed, he would respawn the next day.
Based on this calculation, even if Yang Rui came here every day to exterminate the bandits, the amount of money he obtained would not exceed two to three hundred coins!
At this rate of earning money, it would inevitably delay the time needed to upgrade to an intermediate village. Yang Rui had no choice but to consider selling some resources. Therefore, when Yang Rui returned to the mountain village in the evening, the first thing he did was to lead the newly spawned villagers to set up the basic trading market.
Before the system update half a year later, both players and NPC characters could use the market platform to sell and purchase resources. They only needed to pay a 5% tax, and the seller could choose whether the buyer or the seller would bear the cost. The range of the transaction depended on the level of the market.
"Trading Market: Basic building, 5% tax, can be used for long-distance transactions within the county, can be upgraded to a beginner market. List of goods: 100 units of food, price 350 coppers; 10 handguns, price 2000 coppers; 300 units of food, price 1000 coppers; 6 blood replenishing pills, price 1200 coppers; 260 units of wood, price 1200 coppers … … "
After the trading market was set up, Yang Rui stared at the long list of goods for a while. The goods on the list were dazzling, but Yang Rui did not think that there were many that had practical value, or that the prices were too expensive!
There were also dozens of batches of food and wood for sale. The price of food was basically 3.5 coppers per unit, while the price of wood was slightly higher, close to 5 coppers per unit. Overall, it was a little overpriced, but not too far off.
This was also within Yang Rui's expectations. It was currently the third year of spring in Guanghe, and many places had already experienced famine and turmoil. Under natural and man-made disasters, there was a huge shortage of food. It was normal for the price to be higher, and as time passed, it would only get higher!
As for the high price of wood, it was due to the instigation of the Ten Permanent Attendants by the imperial court, which caused the disruption of the market. This was also the reason why Yang Rui placed so much importance on the harvesting of wood, especially high-grade wood. For a long time in the future, the price would definitely remain high! However, this was a story for another day.
"Refugee Camp Blueprint: 1,000 coppers!"
Just as Yang Rui was about to close the list after flipping through a few pages, he suddenly discovered an unexpected item!
Refugee Camp Blueprint?! There was actually someone selling this item now? Yang Rui opened the trading interface in disbelief. After checking the item's attributes, he hurriedly confirmed the trade!
"Refugee Camp Blueprint: Basic Building. Cannot be upgraded. After use, a refugee camp will appear within the territory. Liegeman's Loyalty will decrease by 20%! "
The blueprint's description was very simple. Just by looking at its attributes, it seemed like it only had negative effects. However, Yang Rui understood its huge value! Once the refugee camp was established, 20 refugees would be spawned every day. Furthermore, the refugees could be taken in and converted into villagers!
An increase of 20 villagers every day was a very impressive number in the early stages of the game! It was equivalent to the daily spawning rate of refugees being doubled! This was definitely an immeasurable benefit to the development of the territory! This was the reason why Yang Rui did not hesitate to spend a large sum of money to purchase the blueprint!
As for the Liegeman's Loyalty dropping by 20%, Yang Rui was not worried about it at all. After the refugee camp was established, the Liegeman's Loyalty would only drop by 20% at the beginning. After that, there would not be much of an effect. In any case, the Liegeman's Loyalty would continue to increase slowly. Even if the Loyalty dropped by 20%, as long as the Loyalty was not lower than 60%, there would not be any loss of villagers.
After purchasing the blueprint, Yang Rui led the villagers to build the refugee camp without stopping. The location was chosen to be northwest of the meeting room, far away from the residential area in the southeast.
"As a refugee camp has appeared within your territory, the Loyalty of all villagers in Da Shan Village has decreased by 20%!"
As soon as the refugee camp was built, the system's voice rang in Yang Rui's ears. However, looking at the 20 refugees that had spawned in front of him, Yang Rui did not show any signs of being affected by the drop in their Loyalty. He immediately helped them with the Da Shan Village's citizenship procedures.

In a house in the suburbs of ZZ City, someone suddenly shouted and took off his helmet. He also took off the helmet of the person beside him.
"F * ck! 1,000 copper coins! That's 1,000 copper coins!
… Boss, we sold the blueprint that we got! 1,000 copper coins! "
"Are you crazy? Do you want to die? … What blueprint? "Another person was very angry because his helmet was taken off, but he was confused.
"It's … It was dropped when we ambushed the bandit camp yesterday. What's it called … I think it's from the refugee camp!"
"What? You dare to sell that blueprint for 1,000 copper coins? There are still people buying it?! Oh f * ck, this world … "
"Yes, yes, I'm selling it after tax … I heard that a lot of rich people are currently buying game coins. Now that I put it on the trading platform, with the current market price, it's about 2,000 RMB …
… "
"Shh … Don't disturb them!" That person looked at the people lying side by side on the ground and said to one of them, "I'll give you 500 when the time comes …"
