I get vibes of "the king requests an audience so you need to travel 20 days to get to the capital" vibes. You need to waste 41-50 days of your life because your manager wants to talk to you face to face for a few minutes.
It's a break from the tedium of subsistance sharecropping...
Do you think the king is going to send a laborer in your place?
That's what your 16 kids are for, duh...
Also, the whole village likely cultivates the same fields, so it's not like it's some private landholding that will fallow if you're not there to tend it. Long live the commons!
