Keep in mind this is only true of peasant classes that grow wheat as their primary grain. Rice in stark contrast requires much more labor, and I’ve seen sources suggest 365 days of labor was necessary for peasant the peasant class in south east asia as a result. I’ve also heard theorized that a significant contributor to the perceived cultural differences of northern china and southern china is that north china grew wheat and south china grew rice.
