I would like to point out that to commoners, “some coins” could range from half the value of your property to the entirety of your life’s savings. SIMPLE, maybe, but there is a difference between simplicity and ease.
I would like to point out the point in panel two. You kept supplying coins and/or livestock and/or family members until the point went away. It really was as simple as it was easy.
And panel four had me in stitches, should anyone care.
If you find it EASY to “[keep] supplying coins and/or livestock and/or family members”, then I can only presume you are either heartless, incredibly well-supplied in the formermost, or significantly lacking in the latttermost. Or possibly have suffered sibling/parental abuse, I shouldn’t rule that out.
Do explain to me why it should be EASY – as opposed to SIMPLE – to hand over your life’s savings, all your livestock, the deed to your property, and/or the lives of your blood relatives. Am I to assume that you think there would not be the slightest DIFFICULTY in relinquishing any of those?
Quite frankly, if you would hand over your accumulated income and source of income without conflict, you have confirmed your wealth, and if you would do the same to your family members, you have confirmed your heartlessness.
The antonym comparison you refer to may be a regional dialect clash, depending on where you hail from. In the form of English I have been raised to speak, “difficulty” is in contrast to “ease”, whereas “simplicity” is in contrast to “complexity”. I understand that this may not be universal, but those are the pairings I’ve been trained in.
-i.e. Defeating an Olympic medalist in a footrace is DIFFICULT, but it is not COMPLEX. Therefore, it is SIMPLE, but it is not EASY.

The middle ages also didn’t have jesters on the side of the road, dressed in funny costumes holding a sign offering to do your taxes………..

Or maybe they did?
Thank you for trying and hello man with pink filter
Well, he was turned into a newt but it got better.

You also shouldn’t rule out you’ve missed the point.
Again.

Nah, that would be easy. You can try to work out yourself what I meant. Seems to me you need a lot more practice.
Oh, by the way, ‘difficult’ is the main antonym of your meaning of simple, thus mucking up your indignation. The word you’re looking for is ‘hard’.

I guess Turbothrax would be able to teach you a (part of a) Shout that you could use to get your taxes done instantly?
