The hired workers were dismissed, and Arthur spent the next two days dealing with these chores, and the hired workers lent by the lords and nobles said that even if they were not dismissed, they would be called back anyway.

The yeoman farmer is no problem, even if the family is poor, in the event of such a big event, the yeoman farmer never has a word, even if there is only one acre of land in Morado, you have to respond to the lord's call, take up arms and prepare for battle.

But the problem is that some farmers who already have their own fields are in trouble.

"Mr. Peter Ryder, we can all say okay, work for 4 silver coins for a winter, why don't you want it now, my family owes a lot of money, if you don't have this salary, how can you let my family live!" The peasants had a bitter face and ran to complain one by one.

Unlike tenant farmers, who do not have to pay for their own seed farming tools, they not only have to pay a lot of agricultural taxes, but also have to pay for the cost of farming, seeds, farm tool maintenance, and their own food rations.

The land of the peasants is usually not large, often a family of several people, and the land cultivated is not even an acre, and if there is any major event in the family, they have to be cultivated with debt the next year.

In a bad year, I am afraid that the only way to go bankrupt is to sell my own land, and if I can pay off the debt, it is a big deal to risk going to those undefended villages to reclaim the land from scratch.

But if you can't get your debts after selling your land, then you can only sell yourself and become a tenant farmer under the aristocracy.

Whether you owe debts or not, the noble lord will not care, the orc invasion can only be regarded as your bad luck, if the other party is a homesteader family, it may be able to delay for a few years, but if it is an ordinary farmer, then there is nothing to discuss.

Once they become tenant farmers, it is not miserable, in fact, many tenant farmers can regain their freedom after saving enough money, but compared to the extremely risky choice, most of them continue to stay under the lord, becoming high-level tenant farmers with more freedom and income, if the family can have children, they can no longer own their own land, and even become a glorious homesteaders.

But before that, the trouble had to be dealt with, and Arthur and Uncle Viñok were also annoyed, and in the end Arthur decided that if he really had debts, he could continue to work with him after the orc invasion, and promised not to go bankrupt and sell the land because he couldn't repay it.

But if anyone wants to rely on themselves for it? I'm sorry, although Arthur is not a 'magician' yet, Melissa will not help Arthur for this, but don't forget that Lilia has the title of fire magician, with Frank Canon behind her, she is by no means a soft persimmon that is handled by random people.

"Arthur, you are too soft-hearted, you shouldn't be polite to those peasants, you can't make money and you only know how to gamble, you deserve to lose your land and become a tenant farmer." Uncle Vinnock looked at a group of hired men who were leaving with a lazy pace, and said with great dissatisfaction.

"Forget it, uncle, it's their own choice." Arthur shook his head and reassured.

The peasants were freer than yeoman peasants because they paid taxes, unlike the tenant farmers, who were completely dependent on the aristocracy, and were not the first to be forcibly drafted.

In the eyes of the yeoman farmers, these guys are moths to the towns, and they do nothing but a meager agricultural tax.

Although Arthur is not so extreme, he still agrees with his uncle's opinion in his heart, not discrimination, but the shape of this world.

In fact, large-scale agricultural production was controlled by the aristocracy, while yeoman farmers and merchants and powerful professionals were the middle class, while the peasants could only be used as subsidies for the first two, and there were signs of gradual annexation and erosion by the aristocracy.

This often leads to the fact that ordinary farmers do not have a strong centripetal force towards the town, and they do not have the cultural traditions and martial arts inherited by the family inheritance of yeoman farmers, and many of them cannot even write their own names, which inevitably leads to becoming a discriminated class.

The proletarian revolution has no market in this world, and it is not men who have the fighting power, but the professionals, and the most successful professionals also have the opportunity to advance to the aristocracy, and the inferior will also become yeoman farmers.

The lowest-level professionals, as long as they can retire alive and can save a sum of money to go to the villages and towns in the border wasteland, can also have a good status.

The powerful and literate have their own places, and naturally no one will look for the so-called way out for those groups who are willing to fall.

"It's all productivity...... It's a pity. Arthur, of course, did not see it that way, for from the perspective of the other world, these peasants were not only productive forces, but also markets, and it was these strong laborers that he lacked now.

If there were enough manpower, I am afraid that he would not have to worry about the drainage canal and clearing the land, and he could have hired more manpower to shorten the construction period and complete all the work before the snow fell.

After the dismissal of the hired men, the uncle's family began to practice their swords and guns, just like the other yeoman farmers, but from Arthur's point of view, the uncle's sword was probably not as powerful as Aunt Ledna's.

However, the grinding spear is not lit and the light is not light, after all, it is not to fight to the death with the orcs on the battlefield on the opposite side, relying on the walls and fortresses to defend, as long as the orcs do not attack the town, it is a victory for Morado.

Unlike the uncle, Arthur didn't stop being busy, the magic had to be accumulated, and the goblins had to be gathered.

"Lilia, have all the goblins in the mountains and forests gathered?" It's not wise to go into the mountains in winter, but it's not that there are still winged succubi, and Arthur can control the whole situation without having to work hard himself.

"It's all in that ravine, and there are a lot of caves dug out by the little greenskins, and they are all hiding in the snow." Lilia looked disgusted, and it was clear that the caves didn't smell good.

Lilia doesn't have to drill the hole herself, and even if she does, she can't order the goblins, but it doesn't matter, she also has a special operation pair under her command, these strong and intelligent goblins, as creatures of the same contract, can relay his orders on behalf of Arthur.

A large number of goblins were called out of the mountain forest by Arthur, so that the snow had stopped in the past two days, and the snow on the ground had melted, so that these goblins would not freeze, and they would not delay the trip, so that they could not catch up with this gathering.

Arthur didn't expect that when he summoned these reserves in the later stage, it would really come in handy, and when he first contracted, he actually mentally assured that when Morado used goblin hired workers on a large scale, he could quickly replenish the team.

But now it has become a reserve ready to be put into the battlefield, and it is really an unintentional coincidence.
