Going into the mountains to gather herbs has now become one of the main sources of income for the people of Li County.
Living by the mountains, living by the water. Li County is actually a good place, with endless deep mountains within its territory. Where there are mountains, there are trees; one can go into the mountains to cut down trees for building houses, gather dead branches for warmth in winter, and hunt or gather wild fruits when food is scarce.
In the past, there were two dens of bandits in Li County, ruling the mountains as their own. The people dared not easily enter the mountains for fear of being robbed and killed. Now that the Commandery Princess has wiped out the bandits, and with County Magistrate Cai sending Government Officials to accompany for protection, the people's courage has grown, and enthusiasm for heading into the mountains is high.
