No, it was definitely out of greed. They wanted to iron so they could make a profit by selling it off (that's why Lord Asano wanted it, because the land was rich in iron). They didn't have to make a living that way. They coud have had farmland or something, and it was impied that they were going to do something like that when they rebuilt the town to avoid more confict.

But still, how would you feel if you were just living your life, and then  someone kicks your door in and starts tearing down your home so they could get rich off the your land, and when you try to resist, they start killing your friends and family. I'm guess you wouldn't take too kindly to them either. Just think of what happened to the natives when the settlers arrived. That's basically what was happening to San and the gods of the forest.
