And here you are, making presumptions of other individual's capability to work, and the inherent bias against the knowledge that even those who are capable of working require aid to reach the fullest of their potential. This is why speaking to an egoist is the most infuriating thing in the world.
Listen here: you sent those craftsmen out to sea, but if they had done so, Sumeru would have lost the expertise of their crafts honed through decades of accumulation of experience and knowledge. In turn, they would have lost their dignity.
What they gained in return from my mora and my contacts was the ability to continue what they are best at; each subsequent project they work on begets the dissemination of knowledge to new apprentices, to add value to Sumeran craftsmanship, and to feed their souls enough to care for those around them. As soon as I return from this world, I will get names to throw in your face, you immovable rock of a man.
Until then, live my thesis: this world, too, benefits from collective good. It is, in fact, the right thing to do!
