Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life is better because I bought a bull for ploughing my farm land with much more ease and efficiency. Before, It was hard and costly because I had to hire manual labourers to work for me. In addition, I repossessed the land which I will use to farm my crops. In the past I used to just rent gardens.
