Everyone was blinking inside when they thought of how much money they would lose because of these dumb rules.
Their estates had hundreds and thousands of slaves alone that did everything for them and the other branch members in their clan.
So if they started paying these slaves, wouldn't their income drastically reduce?
They already had to pay their knights heavily, as well as ensure that their wives and children get the best clothes and other luxuries goods.
Additionally, several of them were branch leaders of their noble clan.
So there were many more nobles in the clan estate that needed money for their monthly upkeep and daily needs too.
The reason they got slaves and not hired peasants was because it was 100 times cheaper to buy slaves than to pay people monthly.
Just a few coins, and these people's lives will belong to them for as long as they desired.
