With my help, these three villages lacked for nothing when it came to food and clothing. After all, the people who went out to open shops brought back a vast amount of grain. As for brewing alcohol, I also had them set up an assembly line and hired many people to help. Since everyone had work to do, naturally everyone had food to eat. No matter how hard you pretend to be poor, the act won't last forever. In the end, someone with a sharp eye noticed.
Gujiashan Village was the closest, while the other two villages were a bit further out. The wealth of these three villages gradually became known to outsiders, which eventually drew in bandits.
These bandits had apparently only appeared within the past few years. In the past, they would only steal some grain from the county seat. As for the farmers, they wouldn't clean them out entirely—they would only take half, or leave an adequate amount behind before departing. But the demands of the bandits who arrived this time were completely different.
