If the Legion's strategy is effective, then as Senior Mason said, even Revodan wouldn't be enough.

Bard sat back down beside Winters, took a stone as a chess piece, and asked, "The landless farmers now have land, the Legion has tenant farmers, and the self-sustaining farmers remain self-sustaining. Whose interests are damaged?"
```
```
"Manor lords." Obvious, Winters responded without hesitation.
```
```
"So, the manor lords in places such as Wugou Town and Blackwater Town choose to support you vigorously, offering money and grain, and also providing you with hiding places."
```
```
With a smile, Bard picked up the black stone that represented the manor lords: "Perhaps they do not understand the deeper game, but it is easy to see how their interests are harmed. Without their serfs, what's left to farm? When the land value plummets, doesn't that mean their wealth is shrinking?"
```
```
Winters nodded.
