"Now that the problem of water bandits has been solved, there are only Gaolu Peak and Tianwaitian left, and Gaolu Peak is the richest."
"That's right, don't underestimate Gaolufeng. Although they don't have many people, they are quite powerful."
"Especially his geographical location."
"It's located on a major land transportation route to Tianyong City, and there are several large villages surrounding it. It's incredibly wealthy."
"Furthermore, Gaolu Peak is well-equipped with weapons. In its early years, it was a military camp of the previous dynasty, with both offensive and defensive capabilities. In the past few years, the government sent troops there but to no avail."
"The bounty for capturing Gaolu Peak is now as high as one thousand taels of silver, of which the head of the boss is worth five hundred taels."
"So that's 1,500 taels?"
"This is a good deal."
Liu Feng was very surprised. After all, the pirates occupied such a superior geographical location but only received so little silver. The gap between the two was really huge.
"That's nothing. Just the tolls our escort agency pays each year are over a hundred taels. Add to that the other merchants, and the wealth of Gaolu Peak is now inestimable."
Master Ji continued.
The two were chatting when Li Hui arrived.
"Village Chief, I heard you were looking for me."
"Well, you've done a good job recently, and I trust you."
Liu Feng said slowly.
"You've been leading people up the mountain to cut grass. Now that winter has arrived, there's no need to cut grass anymore. You should take your villagers to the water fort."
"There are still some brick and wood structures in the water fort that haven't suffered much damage. Go and demolish them and bring back everything that's useful."
"Then we built a warehouse next to the brick kiln. The warehouse had two requirements: first, it had to be large enough, and second, it had to be sturdy enough."
"I see."
Li Hui agreed and turned around to do it.
