Since Shopkeeper Wang and Housekeeper Zhao of "A pint of incense" were not in the store, Yang Rui did not stay any longer. He immediately took Qi Zheng and rushed back to the mountain village.
Yang Rui originally wanted to talk to the two managers of "A pint of incense" about the wine processing and sales, but he did not expect them to leave so early. He could only leave it until the next time they meet. But this matter was not very urgent, the winery in the mountain village had not been built yet!
After the mission of eliminating the bandits in the gourd valley was completed, Yang Rui immediately had a lot of things to do.
The most important thing was to upgrade the town. After the territory was upgraded to the size of a town, whether it was the construction area or the land area, or the population limit, all of the restrictions would be increased by many times. It was not comparable to any other village level territory! This would fundamentally establish the mountain village's overall lead!
Next was the matter of conquering Ink Village. The mission of eliminating the bandits was completed, it could be said to be killing two birds with one stone. One of the two villages in the gourd valley — — Lower Ink Village had already promised, after eliminating the bandits, they would submit to the mountain village.
Now that the mission was completed, Lower Ink Village was in the bag. The benefits of conquering Ink Village were obvious. Not only would the population increase greatly, the infrastructure would also make up for a lot of gaps in the mountain village. The most important thing was the talent aspect. Yang Rui had long coveted Mo Lin, Mo Qing and other military and political talents. He believed that after these people submitted, the strength of the mountain village would increase by a lot!
In addition to these two things, Yang Rui was most concerned about the new bandit camp, the military advancement and the winery construction. At present, the speed of the mountain village's upgrade should without a doubt be at the forefront. As long as he grasped the military and the economy, the mountain village's advantage would be easily maintained and even become bigger!
Of course, recently people from Xingyao often came to harass Yang Rui. Although it did not cause too much trouble, it was still an uncertain factor! How to handle the relationship with these players, Yang Rui was also racking his brains.
Due to his impatience, Yang Rui made an exception and spent a thousand copper coins to hire a carriage on his way back to the mountain village. The cost was not unaffordable for the current mountain village.
However, the money spent was well spent. This type of carriage was much more comfortable than the 'A pint of incense' carriage. Furthermore, it was much faster. In less than two hours, Yang Rui had arrived at the checkpoint at the entrance of the mountain village. After thinking along the way, Yang Rui had a rough idea of what to do in the near future.
"Welcome, Village Chief Blazing Sun!"
After Yang Rui arrived at the checkpoint of Mountain Village, he did not return to the village. Instead, he went straight to Ink Village in Gourd Valley. Mo Qing and Mo Lin knew that Yang Rui was coming, so they went to the village meeting room to wait for him. When they saw Yang Rui from afar, they bowed down.
From the looks of it, after Yang Rui had exterminated the bandits of Gourd Valley, Ink Village had followed the agreement of the mission and voluntarily acknowledged the ownership of Mountain Village.
"The two of you, please don't do this!"
Yang Rui quickly went forward and supported Mo Qing and Mo Lin in time.
Not to mention that Village Chief Mo Qing was already very old. Yang Rui was not used to seeing old people. Just based on Mo Lin's role in exterminating the bandits, Yang Rui would not mistreat him or Ink Village.
Mo Qing was the only Third Grade soldier on Yang Rui's side. First, he worked with Yang Rui to take over the checkpoint of the bandits. Then, he used his riding skills to lure out the Third Grade bandits from the training ground and camp. Finally, he successfully lured the Proud Leica Tiger King over and depleted the strength of the bandit leader.
It could be said that from the beginning to the end, Mo Lin had played a very important role. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was indispensable. He had helped Yang Rui successfully exterminate the bandits with his Hummer.
"Half of the credit for exterminating the bandits goes to Mo Lin. So, Village Chief Mo Qing, Brother Mo Lin, please don't do this!"
After being supported by Yang Rui, Mo Qing and Mo Lin still insisted on greeting Yang Rui, the village chief. Yang Rui had to spend a lot of effort to persuade the two to give up.
At this time, the information panel of Ink Village finally appeared in front of Yang Rui.

"…"
Yang Rui had not even finished looking at the Lower Ink Village's Attributes Panel when his face was filled with shock! It had to be said that the stats of Lower Ink Village, which was also an advanced village, greatly exceeded Yang Rui's expectations!
At first glance, Lower Ink Village's resources seemed to be lacking. However, Yang Rui had already expected this. Lower Ink Village had been plagued by the Gourd Valley bandits for such a long time. Money, grain, and other resources must have been greatly affected. It was already considered good that they could maintain their normal consumption!
On the other hand, the amount of cultivated land had exceeded Yang Rui's expectations. It had reached more than 5,000 mu, which was basically twice the amount of land in Mountain Village! However, this was not Yang Rui's first time in Lower Ink Village. The climate in Gourd Valley did not seem to be suitable for growing crops. It was always smoky and there was not much sunlight! Although the amount of cultivated land was not small, Lower Ink Village's harvest might not be much!
