Chapter 335: I’ll be a mess (4)
The ignorant are brave because they have nothing to fear since they know nothing.
It’s like a poor, unfortunate high school student thinking military training is no big deal.
Of course, once they actually enlist and undergo training, they’d rather die, but when they don’t know, they’re fearless.
"Did you say the working hours of the workers and serfs in Nance Baron’s domain have been drastically increased?"
"Yes, my lord. The workers now work nearly 90 hours a week, and the serfs work close to 80 hours a week."
"This is a damn disaster."
Even in the Toscana Empire, where the system of corvée labor is being implemented, there’s a trend of increasing the working hours of serfs.
When you hear “increased working hours,” your instinct as a human being would probably make you think of something like ‘red-hot chili pepper’—it’s the natural reaction.
But in the great Toscana Empire, led by His Majesty the Emperor, there is no room for such wicked things like communism.
The increased working hours were not because the nobles threatened to kill everyone unless they worked more, but because they had the desire to farm more and feed their families well, so it’s fine.
‘It’s just like working two jobs to earn more money.’
Raising working hours without increasing the salary?
