According to the "Circle of Justice" why was it important for military commanders to keep the interests of the peasantry in mind?       

Answer:

  Peasantry was the backbone of the entire kingdom. The king could not do anything without it because it was the source of revenue. The soldiers got their salaries from this revenue. Hence, it was necessary to keep the peasants happy and prosperous because only then they could be able to pay revenue. That?s why the military commanders kept the interests of the peasantry at the top.
