Yang Rui originally wanted to use Hanxiang Village as bait to brush the water thieves, but since Hanlaixiang frankly proposed to ask for help, Yang Rui directly agreed to the convenient matter.

It's just that the matter of remuneration is forgotten, since the iron ore is not from Hanxiang Village, it is difficult to have anything to do with the current conditions of Hanxiang Village! However, Yang Rui got another piece of useful information, that is, about the other two villages in the lower reaches.

“…… The village chief of Lieyang needs the villages along the river to be bait, but Hanxiang Village can't do it in a short time, and the water thieves have to wait for two crop production cycles every time, that is, they only come to loot Hanxiang Village once every 8 days!

However, there is a systematic village dozens of miles downstream, the name of the village is "Linwen Village", its scale is much larger than Hanxiang Village, and the water thieves have to go over to loot it almost every 4 days! And tomorrow morning is the time for the water thieves to sack the "Linwen Village......"

Yang Rui helped unconditionally, Han Laixiang was both surprised and grateful, and naturally she was happy to tell Yang Rui all the information she had. If Yang Rui can exterminate the water thieves, Hanxiang Village will no longer have to be harassed by the water thieves and can develop with peace of mind.

After Han Laixiang revealed the information to Yang Rui, she took the initiative to lead Yang Rui and went directly to Linwen Village. Although the two didn't talk much along the way, they slowly gained some understanding.

"Brother Han's name is taken from the meaning of 'plum blossom fragrance comes from the bitter cold', right?"

For the somewhat introverted Han Laixiang, Yang Rui took the initiative to talk more often.

"Hehe, the village chief of Lieyang smiled!"

Han Laixiang smiled embarrassedly and hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Actually, 'Xiang' is the name of my former girlfriend, and my name is 'Wu Han'. ”

"Oh, I see!"

Hearing Han Laixiang add the word "before" when mentioning his girlfriend, Yang Rui felt that there might be some twists and turns in it, don't bring up some bad memories or something, so Yang Rui casually agreed, and then quickly switched to other topics.

The game can be completed quickly for dozens of miles, and although the conversation between the two is a little intermittent, they have unconsciously come to the vicinity of Linwen Village.

"Linwen Village: Systematic Village. Grade:? Population: about 500+, military power: low ......"

Players don't get complete information when they look at the system's villages, and many of the indices are estimates, and in many cases they are not entirely accurate. This is still at the village level, and if it is a system town, players will not be able to view its specific information without special items or special skills!

Linwen Village, as Han Laixiang said, has about more than 500 villagers, and there are no soldiers in sight among them, so they should have no intention of developing their military strength after being repeatedly looted by water thieves!

At the same time, the fence around Linwen Village has already been broken several times, and there are several broken gaps, which are basically in a state of undefense. Most of the situation in the village can be clearly seen from the gaps in the broken fence wall, except for the crop cultivation in a large area, the only relatively neat buildings in the village are dozens of houses!

But these houses say something!

Han Laixiang may not know the goods, but Yang Rui knows very well that the houses in Linwen Village are not low-level thatched houses, but upgraded wooden houses! This shows that Linwen Village should at least be a high-level village, not an intermediate-level village as speculated! Because only high-end villages and above can upgrade their houses to wooden houses!

Even Yang Rui's Dashan Town, which has just renovated its accommodation conditions and upgraded the original thatched house to an adobe house, still does not meet the living conditions of a wooden house! Xiamo Village is the same, although it has always been a high-level village, but when Yang Rui took it over, it was an adobe house, and there was no condition for renovation for the time being.

It's not that Yang Rui can't afford to upgrade the wooden house, it's just that he thinks it's not cost-effective! A wooden house costs 100 units of wood, and the current population of Dashan Town has exceeded 3,500 people, and if the overall upgrade of the wooden house is completed, it will cost 70,000 or 80,000 units of wood! Not a small amount!

And Yang Rui personally thinks that the accommodation conditions of the wooden house are not much worse than the adobe house! Therefore, although Yang Rui's territory has been upgraded to the town level, he has never renovated his housing!

Looking at the Linwen Village in front of you, it is all wood-paneled houses! What a stark contrast to the state in which they are being bullied now!

Such living conditions can at least show that Linwen Village was once glorious! Perhaps it is precisely because of the appearance of water thieves that Linwen Village has become what it is now.

There are a lot of special small plot settings in the game, as long as you find them and grasp them well, they may have important uses! Just like the previous setting that Xiamo Village was harassed by the Hulugu Mountain Bandits, which finally made Yang Ruishun subdue Xiamo Village, Yang Rui felt that the current scene in Linwen Village was another good opportunity!

However, when Yang Rui subdued Xiamo Village at that time, Xiamo Village was a neutral village and was not subject to the jurisdiction of the Han Court, so there was a chance to be subdued! However, this is not the case with Linwen Village now, and Yang Ruitong Guò's next contact learned that although Linwen Village is also located in a remote area, it is under the jurisdiction of the Han Court like an ordinary system village!

"Since the water thieves are so rampant, why don't you report to the county governor's office and ask him to send troops to help exterminate the water thieves?" Yang Rui looked at the thin black old man in front of him and asked with a little puzzlement.

This thin black old man is the village chief of Linwen Village. After Yang Rui and Han Laixiang rushed to Linwen Village, they called for a long time to find the trembling village chief, who was suppressed by the water thieves for a long time, and this black and thin old man had almost lost his majesty as the head of a village!

"This... This adult, you don't know, I haven't been to report to the official's house in Linwen Village before, and the county governor's office has also registered, and claims to send someone to suppress the bandits, but... However, every time I go to report to the official, I am sent back with such words, but I have never seen the county governor's office send a soldier over!

After doing this three times, Xiao Lao'er can be regarded as seeing through, and a remote local official like my Linwen Village will not take care of it......"

With the encouragement of Yang Rui's eyes, the thin black old man finally told the ins and outs of the matter, and Yang Rui only then learned what the county governor's mansion had done.

"Boss, please forgive me for being blunt, I don't know if there is iron ore production in Linwen Village?"

After thinking about it left and right, Yang Rui directly picked out the words and asked about iron ore. After all, Linwen Village is an NPC village, and if you meet the conditions, you can exchange for the corresponding rewards, so there is no need to make many detours like you do with players.

"If there is indeed an iron mine, I am willing to make a deal with my father-in-law, and ensure that your village will not suffer from this water thief in the future!"

The black thin old man's hesitant expression betrayed him, and it seemed that just as Yang Rui imagined, the iron ore came from Linwen Village! So, Yang Rui simply used the matter of the water thief as a weight to stimulate the black and thin village chief!
