Ye Weida arrived at the border area, which was naturally impoverished, as it was the border between two nations, and the villages and farmers here were also very poor.
The poverty arose because there were bandits on both sides, and the things bandits did, of course, involved tyranny and robbery, with the farmers suffering the most.
Ye Weida was also keenly aware that in the small nearby village, there were landlords and wealthy households, which were colluding with officials.
Owning good farmland, those impoverished families could only rent their land to farm.
If they couldn't afford to raise their children, they would sell them or send them to wealthy households as servants.
In this war between two countries, farmers were required to serve in the military.
Ye Weida clearly understood that even though the opposite country was provoking war, they were causing disillusionment among their poorest farmers.
