The emancipation of slaves necessarily had to follow the course of history, which is why the maids were pessimistic about Caesar XIII's emancipation campaign.

The Ogordon Empire, which was originally only an agrarian society, wanted to ascend to the sky in one step and do what only a capitalist society could do, which was simply delusional.

The factories that were built up in the empire were in dire need of labor, but the illiterate peasants would not give up their land to become factory workers with no future.

Caesar XIII took advantage of this opportunity to borrow the power of the great nobles to carry out this campaign, which can be said to be a very clever approach, but his slave emancipation campaign would not fail, but it would never succeed much.

Some slaves are 'passed down from generation to generation', the children of slaves are still slaves, and there are slaves who have just been converted from farmers, but no matter what kind of slaves they are, they have no means of production, neither land nor private property.

They are like dodder seeds, they can only survive on the slave owners, and other than that, they have no ability to survive in this cruel era.

Almost all jobs have a fixed candidate, whether they are porters or lumberjacks, and if they are made to be adventurers and mercenaries, they are simply forced to die.

But the great nobles and the royal family did not have the power to recruit all the freed slaves and let them work.

After being freed, some slaves wandered the streets for a day, and eventually returned to the homes of the nobles, kneeling down and begging them to let them continue to be their slaves, because only in this way could they survive.

Not only that, after some slaves were emancipated, they would not return to the noble family because they had nothing to do, but would do some unseemly deeds according to the bullying spirit of working in the noble family, which led to social turmoil.

This was not what Caesar XIII wanted to see, but it had already happened, and the nobles would not let the movement stop.

They had already tasted the sweetness of this movement, and they knew that they would be able to taste more sweetness after this - there would definitely be aristocrats who would choose to keep slaves, or even if they didn't need to keep slaves, just put a 'slave' hat on their heads.

Although Caesar XIII had already seen such a future, the scene before his eyes was much more tragic than he had imagined.

Moro is the largest and most prosperous city on the continent of Slo Mendes, the city is full of glamour, drunken and chaotic atmosphere, many Ogordon nobles will choose to set up a nest here, owning a manor on the outskirts of Moro is the dream of almost all nobles, and owning a piece of land in the upper town is their standard.

The slave trade was in the city for almost every class, from top to bottom, and although they had been somewhat miserable by the recent crackdowns by the royal family and the great nobles, they were happy to see idle slaves roaming the streets.

Looking at these slaves, you can see that Caesar XIII and the great nobles have failed in their policies, and perhaps in a short time they will be able to do their business again, and they will have fewer competitors and more money!

Thinking of this, these secret rats almost couldn't help but praise the policy of Caesar XIII and the great nobles, for whom it was simply a boon.

The vigorous slave emancipation movement swept through the entire Ogordon Empire, and no local nobles and merchants could escape from the movement, whether it was the imperial capital in the core region or the frontier territory.

The emancipation of slaves reduced their wealth dramatically, the mines stopped, the quarries stopped, the new factories stopped working, and even their own land was left untended, which was nothing short of a tragedy.

For the merchants, there is no one to carry the goods, no one to carry the baggage for them, everything needs to be regained at the cost of money – and it will continue to be spent on it!

It was a disaster for both the nobles and the merchants......

But no one could escape, not only the steam locomotives from the imperial capital, but also the envoys of the great nobles rode fast horses and ran through all the territories of their vassals in a very short time.

Countless peasants who had just lost their land and become slaves shouted the names of the great nobles and emperors, and countless generations of slaves looked blankly at the soldiers who had come to tell them that they had been 'freed' with disgusted expressions.

A great era seems to have begun, but what follows is something that all the nobles and merchants who were forced to free their slaves did not expect.

Many of the freed slaves were dragged by the nobles and royalty into the factories they had set up when they were still confused, where they had accommodation, two meals a day, and even a salary, which was very important for the newly emancipated slaves who did not have any assets in their hands.

In order to get this job, they quarrel with each other, fight, and even kill people with their hands!

The entire empire, regardless of the territory, seemed to change overnight—and it became chaotic.

The commoners, who had not known the names of Caesar XIII and the nobles, learned their names at once, and the slaves, who had been cheering for their 'wise', gradually changed their attitudes.

From reverence to suspicion, from suspicion to indifference, from indifference to resentment, it took less than a month!

Gradually, the common people who were harassed by these emancipated slaves also complained.

Caesar XIII, who was originally quite famous among the people, was complained by countless people at once, and it was precisely because of his [Declaration of Human Rights] and the 'Emancipation Movement' that he led that they were unable to work and live normally.

The rumors gradually spread among the people, and even though many 'rats' had been hanged outside the town, it only made the civilians close their mouths on the surface, but the mouths in the secret continued to spread the story more and more outrageously.

The Ogordon Empire was in chaos within a month, but only the common people were affected, and the aristocratic class still had nothing to do.

The loss of slaves was the loss of a lot of property, but the land obtained from the peasants was still in their hands, and even if it cost them money to hire them, it would not cost much, and the newly freed slaves were even willing to return with a salary of one copper coin a month, only to meet their two meals a day.

It was not only the big nobles and royalty who gained cheap labor in this movement, but also the lesser nobles who suffered.

Because after they were rehired, they found that these slaves, who were still very lazy, were willing to use twice as hard work and enthusiasm to reflect their value in order to have a job and a chance to live.

It was only the common people and the freed slaves who suffered, and all the aristocratic classes were able to profit from it, which was the most characteristic feature of this movement.

Even though the major churches were willing to provide jobs to the freed slaves, there were more wolves and fewer meats, and many of the newly freed slaves still had no jobs compared to the large number of slaves.

The churches were willing to give them relief, but with only one meal a day, they could barely starve to the point where they did not starve.

Because it is winter in Sloa, churches such as the Radiance Church, the Wealth Church, the Righteous Church, and the Passion Church are willing to open their churches at night to take in these 'outcasts'.

However, many displaced people have died......

Although it was not uncommon for them to freeze to death in the winter during their time as slaves, they now spread their anger on Caesar XIII and the great nobles who advocated the emancipation of slaves, believing that they were the fault of all this!

All these things confirm the saying - there are only individuals who betray the class, and there is no class that betrays the class.

The rule of the aristocracy has not been shaken by half a point, and it has even been faintly stabilized, I have to say, this is simply a joke!

It was also at this time that a book from the Duchy of the Winds of Sorrow was hastily sent into the Palace of Eternal Day by the Bishop of the Radiant Church in Moro.
