Your post is extremely naive. Employment has been around since agriculture. Peasants didn’t just sit around to be forced around to do a Duke or Kings labor work by force. Guilds existed around those times and anytime there is supply and demand there is leverage and power. These guild could contract their services in exchange for currency and recognition. These feudal lords had to negotiate and bargain for steady employment. Contracts were signed for steady pay and consistent labor.
