The brave man opened the coffin and rose

At the Honey Drop Fruit Farm, people are full of energy.

Although Abes only told Wilford the uses of sugar and sugar derivatives, the orders had to be dispatched after all.

And it is precisely because of this large order that these farmers, who usually feel that their work is marginal, are now motivated.

You know, although everyone knows that they need to eat, when it comes to rewarding people for their contributions, who will issue rewards to farmers?

The situation in the North is particularly bad, like a small boat sailing on a river.

Everyone cheers for the achievements of the sailors, captains, and first mates, but no one cares about the water that carries them.

As for Abes and his team, except for the Silvermoon Farm, those captured by the Lizardmen were naturally people from the southeast of the small kingdom.

This resulted in more than half of them being farmers.

They might dislike Wilford, thinking that this fat man with a big belly was corrupting Lord Abbess, and that the townspeople who had new clothes to wear did not really support their uprising.

But the only people they would not fail to support were the farmers, who were the closest to their previous class.

Therefore, it can be said that the Sweetleaf Town now probably has the most active farmers in the entire Wommza Kingdom, and even in the entire North.

Moreover, the farmers should be the ones who are least afraid of soldiers.

Abes brought a few people to the Honey Drop Fruit Farm. On that piece of land, the farmers were still working as if nothing had happened. Only occasionally would they look up to take a look.

The people following him were specially arranged by Jiaweiling.

According to Gaviling, they are smart and capable, and have participated in many searches and inspections. They are reliable personnel, so they were arranged to protect Abes' safety.

Originally, Abes thought it was funny. What was the point of asking them to protect an enemy that he couldn't even defeat?

However, because of the riot in the town whose details were still unknown, Gaviling refused to withdraw them no matter what.

There was no choice but for Abes to travel with two "bodyguards".

Then Abes observed that they acted indifferent when they saw the townspeople.

When he saw Wilford, he looked at him with hatred.

It was not until they saw the farmers working actively in the Honey Drop Fruit Farm that they smiled.

This is not good. How can we create internal conflicts?

So, seeing his entourage laughing, Abes took the opportunity to bring up the topic, "What are you laughing at?"

"I am happy when I see them happy. I used to be a peasant. I wish we had a lord as good as you."

"Why do you think they are happy?"

"Because we came and sent big orders, they can make money, and when they make money, they don't have to work hard on the farm."

Abes looked at the young bodyguard beside him, the smile on his face did not fade, but he asked a question to induce him to continue thinking.

"If everyone could make money so easily and stop farming, what would happen next?"

"..." This time, the little bodyguard beside him gradually lost his smile. "Then I'm afraid it won't be long before no one will farm anymore?"

With a look of confusion on his face, he deduced a very strange result.

And Abeth also laughed and gave the correct point.

“Where is there no one farming?”

"The correct law of development should be that if fewer people produce food, the price of food will become higher, and more people will be encouraged to farm, because farming can also lead a life similar to that of the people in the town."

Seeing the other party's confused face, Abes asked, "Isn't it right for farmers to live a good life similar to that of other people?"

Based on his original vision and worldview, the bodyguard beside Abes felt that something was wrong. "It's not that it's wrong. We worked so hard in the past to live a good life. What I think is wrong is that since the correct law of development should be like this, why has it never been realized?"

"Right, this is the direction we should think about." Abes clapped his hands happily, "We are different from almost all armies in the North and even in this world. We are not here just to fight."

“We need to think, and learn to think correctly, and spread these correct ideas to the masses.”

"That's why I arranged education. Right now there isn't enough foundation. Later on, not only the troops, but everyone in the country, I hope will be able to receive education."

Afterwards, Abes also responded to the bodyguard's question as to why it was not realized.

"As I always say, because of inequality, because dignity is not given to everyone. The inequality of power will gradually give rise to uncontrollable forces. These forces can easily cut off the road, bankrupt the farmers, and stop them from crossing the class line."

The young bodyguard nodded. As long as the lord who managed the land signed a tax, even if they made a little money, it would be plundered clean.

And this time, even the fields were burned. Wasn't it because General Paddy, who was in charge of the army, had the uncontrollable power to mobilize the army, so he mobilized the direction of the army and caused the land in the southeast of the country to gradually fall into the hands of the Lizardmen?

If they had not joined Lord Abes's team, learned words like freedom, equality and dignity, and understood the truth of the matter.

I'm afraid that until they die, they will only blame it on their bad luck for encountering harassment and invasion from the alien species in the Eastern Wilderness.

Seeing that the other party had listened carefully, Abes continued.

“In fact, it’s because you used to be a farmer that you only care about farmers. But for any class, as long as there is unequal power, such power will eventually emerge.”

"You think the citizens of Sweetleaf are living a better life than when you were on the farm because they have a good mayor like Wilford who is willing to lead them to development."

"But think about it, what would happen if you had a bad mayor who raised taxes at will, a person like General Paddy who disregarded the safety of the townspeople, or a mayor who embezzled relief and supply money?"

"Your Captain Gawiling was also an ordinary townsman before he became a starving person and fled to the southeastern border."

"Even if Wilford is as fat as a pig, he may not be able to keep his family property if he encounters a random arrangement from the higher-ups."

"So, don't always act cold and indifferent to non-farmer townspeople, and don't always be hostile to Wilford."

"We are all one family, and we must fight together against those forces that are oppressing us and bullying us."

"If you are so hostile to them, how can we continue to unite others? It will also easily give the enemy a handle to blame."

"Do you think if other people heard that anyone who is not a farmer will die, etc., would anyone still be willing to join us?"

"Do you think that if the townspeople are treated coldly or even harshly by you for a long time, will they still be willing to do business with us in the future?"

"You don't really expect me to lead hundreds of you to the capital alone, without clothes, food, medicine, weapons, equipment, or magic items."

After he finished speaking, the little bodyguard beside Abes nodded in satisfaction.

"I understand. I won't be hostile to them in the future."

"However, I still think that Lord Abes is really amazing. You can make everyone work willingly." The little bodyguard stretched out his hand and pointed at the figures working on the farm.

"I really don't know why people above can't think of such a simple thing. If a big order is placed, everyone will have the hope of making money and work harder.

"If we had hope before, we wouldn't have disappeared from hiding from the lord's tax collector."

Abes laughed but didn't say anything more.

It's not that they don't understand, it's that they don't even think about it.

Because using a whip can make people work, people often ignore the fact that without the whip, using bread instead might be a better method.

The army asks you for logistics and armaments, and you still dare to ask the country for money?

Because they have no worries about food and clothing, they don’t realize that it is also a normal need to ensure that others have enough food and clothing, have surplus and hope.
