After listening to Qian Qiang's words, Yang Rui realized that it was time to upgrade the village to an Intermediate Village.
The village's population was close to 400, and there was hope that they could gather enough resources in a short period of time. Originally, due to the lack of money, Yang Rui felt that it would take some time to gather the 20000 copper needed for the upgrade. However, the shortage of food in the market had created a golden opportunity for the village to quickly accumulate money.
Thus, the next morning, Yang Rui followed Qian Qiang's suggestion and took 50 people from the sawmill to Li Jun to bring to the quarry. The number of villagers harvesting stones was increased to the maximum capacity of 100 people. As a result, the quarry's daily output had reached 200 units.
Yang Rui himself did not go with Chen Li and Chen Ping to farm monsters. Instead, he stayed in the village and directly participated in the sweet potato planting work. It was convenient for him to deal with some housework when needed and to better coordinate the production of various resources.
Besides, Yang Rui was still a little worried about the speed of accumulating gold coins. After selling the food, he divided the surplus wood into several batches and put them on the market. The price was 4.5 copper per unit after tax, which was slightly lower than the market price. He sold two or three batches and made a profit of 2,000 copper coins.
Three days passed like this. On the fourth day, it was close to noon. The various resources of the village had finally met the requirements to upgrade to an Intermediate Village. The basic buildings had already reached the required eight. Without hesitation, Yang Rui chose to upgrade the village.
“

The moment Yang Rui confirmed the upgrade, the village's attributes list changed.
"System Notification: Congratulations, Da Shan Village has successfully upgraded to an Intermediate Village... Villager's loyalty has increased by 5 points."
There was nothing special about the reward for upgrading a building. It was something that would be added to every village when they leveled up. It was not unique to the big mountain village. In this regard, Yang Rui had already considered this and chose the upgrade market without hesitation.
"Elementary market: Elementary building, tax rate: 5%. Allows long-distance trading within Taishan County. Can be upgraded to an intermediate market.
..
As the market was upgraded to Basic, the range of long-distance trading had expanded from the county to the entire county. This was the reason why Yang Rui had chosen to upgrade the market. The expansion of the market would make it easier for the village to coordinate the distribution of resources.
Yang Rui sighed when he talked about coordinating the distribution of resources. The Big Mountain Village's upgrade to an Intermediate Village was achieved by using the edge of the upgrade standard. Most of the money was accumulated through the sale of food and wood. It was a bit of a waste of money.
If it was not for the shortage of food in Juping County, the upgrade of Da Shan Village would have been delayed for a while. Now that the market had been upgraded, the long-distance trading had been expanded to the entire county. It was much more convenient to sell goods and purchase resources. More importantly, the upgrade to a market was closely related to one of Yang Rui's plans.
What Yang Rui did not expect was that as soon as the market was upgraded, a way to make money appeared. Among the items that had increased by several times, Yang Rui found many batches of food for sale. Most importantly, these food were sold for a little more than 3 coppers per unit!
This was an opportunity! The food in Juping County was currently out of stock! Yang Rui immediately bought the cheaper batches of food. He spent a total of 16000 copper coins and bought close to 5,000 units of food. He then sold them in batches and put them on the market. However, most of them were sold at 4 copper coins per unit.
If it was not for the fact that he was in urgent need of money, Yang Rui would have kept the food and not sold them. After the village had been upgraded, Yang Rui had a lot of spending money. He had to buy some blueprints for upgrading the buildings in the county. This would cost a lot of money!
After putting the food on the market, Yang Rui did not continue to pay attention to it. Yang Rui left the internal affairs to Qian Qiang. He then went to farm with Chen Li and Chen Ping. Recently, the number of monsters in the villages had been reduced to less than 50. It was time to clear out their nest!
Needless to say, the raider's camp had to be cleared every day. Chen Li and Chen Ping had already cleared it in the morning. However, the drop rate of the raider's camp was too low. Up until now, there were only 3 podaos and 2 basic sword techniques.
The podao was divided between Yang Rui, Chen Li, and Chen Ping, the two leaders of the troops. The basic sword technique was also waiting for them to reach level 20 so that they could learn it and try to become Second Grade soldiers.
Since the raider's camp was no longer a threat, Yang Rui's target was the Grey Bear, Wild Boar, Gibbon and White Wolf.
The Grey Bear and Wild Boar were not monsters that moved in groups. Yang Rui led 30 militia to lure and kill the monsters. Soon, they reached the nests of the two groups. As expected, there was a Grade 2 monster guarding each group. The number of Grade 1 monsters they led was no more than 10.
The military strength of the mountain village had increased by a lot compared to the first raider's camp. Without much effort, Yang Rui successfully took down the nests of the two groups. These two groups were not stingy. Apart from the Grey Bear dropping some materials such as bear hides, there were also 5 units of Grade 9 honey in the nest. As for the Wild Boar's nest, there were 3 pieces of Fine Iron Ore!
Although Fine Iron Ore was not very precious, Yang Rui was very happy when he received it. This was because it was not as simple as just a few pieces of ore. It was a piece of information!
There were very few people who could search for ore veins in the early stages of the game. However, through some clues, one could find related ore veins. Yang Rui believed that these pieces of Fine Iron Ore could be a clue.
Wild Boar and ore were basically not related. However, ore was found in the Wild Boar's nest. It was very likely related to their habits. The ore vein might be nearby! It seemed that he would have to search the surrounding area in the near future!
As for the Gibbon and White Wolf groups, Yang Rui did not have the time to farm them. Because they were monsters that lived in groups, he believed that the difficulty would be higher. He could only wait until the next day to try.
When Yang Rui returned to the mountain village in the evening, he checked the market. The 5,000 units of food that were put up for sale in the afternoon had all been sold out. The profit was close to 20000 copper.
