Do you mean need or want?

1000 years ago people could barely pay for what they needed

what I meant was that every village would have all of the "trades" that you

you didn't have to travel 30 miles to find someone to buy a replacement for
a broken bucket, because that was where the nearest DIY store was. The
smithy in the village would fix it for you.
