Capítulo 360: Salt Plant

Tafkiz did not attempt to argue with Alexander's decision, though his heart did have a slight acridness.

For he felt that this young lord was a little too generous.

Takfiz was a well-to-do merchant before becoming a slave and he even had certain distant relations with a minor noble.

Hence, being a man of age, Takfiz had seen a lot and firmly believed in the saying, 'Give them an inch and they will ask for a mile.'

And if Alexander could read Takfiz's mind, he would have most likely agreed with the old man to some extent.

Giving the people something without them asking for it was a dangerous way of developing greed among the populace.

But Alexander decided to do it this particular time anyway because, one- he felt bad for the women who had almost no say about their wages but mainly because he wanted to portray himself as a generous lord, an image that was crucial for him to maintain as he was a foreigner.
