*Stretch fingers* You know that the cotton situation is exactly the one most of the Western World is in right now? If trade stopped, countries like France couldn't survive a year with its agricultural production because our economy is based on an interdependence with the rest of the world.

Also it's easy to say plant food crops, but where do you buy the seeds? If everyone switches at the same time then you will have a shortage and if not the prices will skyrocket way beyond what regular farmers can afford. The idea of Souma is not "You can't eat cotton so plant food duh", it's "the government (which until then was indebted beyond reason) will provide (trans. Buy) the seeds not only of regular crops, but also of fast growing crops that were not available until then." It is a level of state intervention that is unheard of in a feudal society, so yeah they can be surprised. Feudal lords aren't in charge of what the people grow, they only rent the land and the peasant do what they want as long as they pay the rent of the land (and with the cotton industry, that means that it must already be on a coin base instead of crop yield, hence why they didn't see the cotton problem).

@MangaA-Z Same thing, in feudal society people live by renting the land and here Souma propose that people live free of charge in what is basically is a colony. Which means that he has to pay (again debt problem anyone?) the buildings, the infrastructures, the security, sanitation etc... and go way beyond what a regular feudal lord, an even more a king, has the power and money to do. And it's not a case of return of investment, if it does it will be in decades.

And finally the preemptive strike is impossible in a Feudal world since there is a simple thing called Casus Belli. Declare war without one and all your neighbors will rip you to shreds because you don't respect the rules, and that's especially true in a world where you have a USA-like superpower that is the garant of this order.
And also if you read this chapter you would know that Souma has basically no air force since Castor rebelled so good luck with that...

@PapaPewds This chapter is the first of the Second Novel so you can start there.

@Thomaster You got the wrong idea. I meant it was said the double-edged sword, but the author drew a katana in that panel instead.

@boag
Natives : Messiah we need more good people at the top!!
MC : Start a competition to pick the very best ( not Ash) in their respective fields.
Natives : You... You are genius!!

 

[KAFi]

@Carmichael ...wow our society always sucked

 

[boag]

@MangaA-Z
"people that bought this also bough Arifureta" Why am I not surprised?

 

[Carmichael]

@MangaA-Z And destroy the entire basis of a Feudal Society, what could go wrong? People at the bottom can indeed consider him the Messiah for offering them opportunities that were until unimaginable to them.
Oh and also the natives are not the ones that cried for more good people at the top, it's only Souma. People wouldn't even think about rising to the ranks in a stale society like this one.

Off with their heads but not too much or you’d end up like the guy who made the guillotine.

this ch feels so bittersweet

 

[PapaPewds]

@carmichael
Thanks alot for the link?

 

[Thomaster]

@depzdai
Yes, the author drew a katana and the author never said anything about a "double-edged sword".
The translator did that.

 

[Drezden]

хммммммммммммм

 

[acar]

@MangaA-Z because the previous king never takes workers from ordinary people? and that's why when mc held a competitions natives seems surprised, and no one said mc genius for starting a competition tho

 

[paulmanton]

@carmichael - thank you so much. You get it. Anyone complaining about this series is automatically a shitbird in my book. Author is doing a great job of writing a story with depth without spelling every little thing out and coupled with the excellent artwork that never takes even a single panel off this is one of my favorite recent series. Just wonderful stuff.

@wolvenworks - definitely bittersweet. I felt that too, strongly.

 

[StarGasm]

Oh? So, he, like, likes Licia now? Or at least plans to tell her how he feels about their relation and finally have this misunderstanding between them be gone and then officially marry and have a family and be happy ever after?

 

[Doujinftw]

finally a zhuge liang manga

 

[Reshfan]

Damn I was waiting for these guys to show up in the Art of War lesson :/
I'm disappointed
