"Alright, it's already past midnight. The principal just arrived and you're already stopping others from resting. That's not fair," Xiao Shui said helplessly as Shi Long still wouldn't let Hai Tang go to sleep.

Upon hearing this, Lion Dragon felt a little reluctant, but he quickly nodded and told Haitang to take a bath and go to bed. After taking a bath and going to bed, Haitang lay down immediately.

The quilt in this room isn't very good. The quilts at Haitang's home are soft and fluffy, but this quilt is stiff and hard. Haitang misses her children at home and also misses her bed at home.

Under this longing, Haitang gradually fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up the next day, she was already outside stretching her limbs. Xiaoshui, with her big belly, also started walking around.

As soon as Haitang went out, he walked up to her and said a few words. Haitang nodded and planned to wander around the tribe. When Haitang looked at the area not far away, she realized that the lower village was just below.

The upper village and the lower village are very different. The upper village looks cleaner and neater, while the lower village looks more desolate, with insects flying around. Not only that... but more importantly, many people in the lower village are engaged in farming and raising pigs.

Although the beastmen in Shangcun also raise pigs, they use purchased slaves to send to these farms on the outskirts of the village. Haitang thinks this is probably what ancient landlords were like.

Making slaves work while reaping the benefits is not wrong in itself, because it is the same in any era.

Although there are no indentured servitude contracts in modern times, working for someone else's company is still a form of selling oneself.

Under these circumstances, Haitang saw Shitian arrive not far away. People carried a sedan chair and invited Haitang to sit on it. Haitang looked at the people and nodded before sitting down.

"I see you all have carriages, so I thought I'd make a sedan chair myself, so that people can lie down comfortably, which is not much worse than a carriage," Lion Heaven said, looking at Begonia.

Upon hearing this, Haitang nodded. One person in a sedan chair for four people—Haitang didn't say anything else, but she felt it was a waste of resources.

Under these circumstances, Haitang couldn't help but feel that it was really a bit extravagant. When she arrived at the farm and ranch, Haitang couldn't help but frown. "The environment here is too bad, and the food is not good either."

"How do you know the food isn't good?" Shi Tian asked Hai Tang, slightly taken aback. Hai Tang glanced at Shi Tian.

“If you eat well, your slaves won’t be all so thin and bony. If you want others to work, you have to make sure they are well-fed. That way, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.” Haitang said, looking at Shitian in front of her. “The Tiger Tribe’s farms and ranches have three days off a month, and at least one meat dish every two days. They’ll have an extra meat dish every five days.”

"That's the treatment the Tiger Clan received," Lion Sky said, glancing at Begonia. "And those slaves were paid wages."

Lion Sky knew perfectly well about the slaves of the Tiger Tribe, because the slaves of the Tiger Tribe were given to them by the Leopard Tribe along with the Lion Tribe, as compensation and for disease prevention.

Some of those slaves later became members of the legion. Lion Sky had also seen the human legion. Although they were not orcs, they possessed great strength. In a real fight, even an orc might not be able to defeat a human in their armor.

After Shitian and Haitang toured the farm and ranch, they gave their opinions on the place. Shitian nodded and then saw someone whipping slaves not far away.

Haitang remained silent, but Shitian spoke up, "I thought you would go up and stop me?"

"Why do you think I'll go up there? If I go up there, I don't have any way to save him. Even if I ask you for him back, it's pretty much the same, because he'll still suffer the same fate even if he leaves." Haitang said to Shitian.

Haitang knows all too well that just because you dislike something doesn't mean you have to make it disappear. Haitang doesn't have the ability or skill to make it disappear, so she can only choose to turn a blind eye. Because if you're not strong enough, meddling in other people's business is just meddling, not saving them.

Haitang spent the whole day at the farm and ranch. As for whether the location had followed her advice, Haitang didn't care too much about what to say.

As for Haitang, she only needed to give advice, accept the money, and do her job well. If the Lion Clan listened, that was their own business; if they didn't, that was their problem too.

Lion Sky spent the whole day thinking about Haitang's words, feeling somewhat strange and doubtful about the matter. Was it really as Haitang had said? Should he reform according to Haitang's suggestions?

However, people are not easily willing to give up so many benefits. Giving slaves more food is simply unreliable and would result in significant losses.

Even the Tiger Tribe only allowed their slaves to eat well because of their trust in Haitang. Other tribes... would give their slaves an extra bite of food, which would mean a lot more grain, not to mention meat.

Moreover, when slaves were sold, they were sometimes priced the same as a pig. Of course, a pig might even be more expensive than a slave, but this was because the Tiger Tribe was making good progress at the moment.

The Tiger Tribe is doing so well now, and many people and places are in the same boat. It's hard not to feel a bit sentimental about this.

Under these circumstances, Shitian had to admit one thing: Haitang was right. It's just that Shitian thought it was right, but what others thought was right.
