Roman expanded the residential area, doubling the workload.
Yet everyone seemed to enjoy it, showing no signs of fatigue.
Working for the lord and working for oneself are two entirely different matters.
Moreover, they didn't have to eat their own food while working; they could eat the lord's.
This made them even more efficient.
Roman didn't mind; as much as they ate, they worked. The fear wasn't how much they could eat, but if they couldn't eat enough.
After confirming Morry's reliability, Roman no longer worried about quickly excavating iron ore. He wanted to keep strengthening the foundation of Sige Town.
With a solid foundation, everything would come easily to him.
Without a firm foundation, even the smallest commands would be hindered. Why would a farmer or a slave who doesn't have enough to eat, warm clothes, or a place to stay ever listen to you?
Roman needed a group that could help him expand his influence, rather than hinder him at every turn.
