MaoYuu Maou Yuusha - ep10

It seems that her speech had quite an effect on the people, this resulted in the people desiring freedom. The question is in how the king should respond to their wishes, that in setting the serfs free would be directly going against the wish of central. This would give them a reason to start a war with the southern countries because of their open defiance. Although Yuusha questions the reason why central would want to go to war with them, what do they hope gain from it. Then to answer this question Onna Kishi goes over what they truly want, to bring the entire world under their flag while setting themselves up top. The big sister sees that this is wrong because it goes against the Crimson Scholar's teaching, that by doing this you will become wealth but you will never prosper. That is cause by an equal balance of good from both sides.

Although the current question is how to get more people to come their country, because when it come to war they will not be able to hold out against the might of central. Although if they are going to survive they are going to need all the help that they can get. They start by distributing three thousand fliers throughout central but it only increase their population by a couple hundred. Then some brings up the idea of telling them through song. That maybe a big reason that they didn't get a huge response was because the people they were trying to reason out to couldn't read. That through the song they could tell the impoverished people want there is to gain by moving down south.

Then while this is going on the merchant is executing plans of his own. That he see that the price on wheat is raising, he ends up doing the opposite of what he should. This leads to him buying when it is high, although his true goal isn't the wheat what he truly wants is to buy currency. That by doing this he is able to buy the wheat the land owner don't have yet, but he will be buying the wheat before the prices have truly risen. This is going to create a situation where central is going to have a long hard winter. Then through the merchant action it has create another problem for the southern nations, that all the starving people in central will end up going south to buy the wheat that they need at a cheaper price. This means that the south will starve instead of the north. Then to prevent this they will need to levy a huge tariff on the goods that the people will be coming for which will protect their people by making unreasonable to take the food out of the country.

This tariff ends up being to cause of the war between north and south, it seems if they can't get what they want then central seems incline to just take what they desire. It result outrages Yuusha because he can't really believe that this is really what the Maou desire about all else. Then the question out to the only way to prevent this war is to hold out until winter. It seems that winter is two weeks away if they have an early winter. That once winter come, it will be too cold for central to continue the fight and they will have to turn back. It not a matter of winning, is just that they can't lose. The question remains is if they can hold until winter does arrive.
