The people below did not possess such high awareness; they only wanted to enjoy power without taking any responsibility.
It was Lance who had to take the blame for their misdeeds, squandering the reputation he had built up.
That was why he had only advocated rather than enforced, and could only implement his policies in the training camp through his own authority.
As for cleanliness, the streets in town were now very neat and clean, without any signs of feces or urine flowing about. All excrement, even from cows and sheep, was collected for composting.
But the people themselves were still very dirty, and infestations of all sorts of lice were a very common affliction.
Lance truly detested their habit of not bathing, but he also found it difficult to enforce bathing practices. He couldn't just behead people for not taking baths, after all.
He couldn't exactly emulate some ancient tyrant and declare, "No washing, no head!"
