Our alliance with the bottom of Earth's food chain resulted in better understanding about how it works. Peasants have close ties with another class of countryside dwellers, the Scavengers. These people, as you might have guessed, scavenge everything the higher classes throw away as useless, and try to bring it back to some semblance of working shape, which also benefits the notoriously poor peasants. Our backing of Scavengers (in the form of goods, intel and technology exchange), however, will undoubtedly prompt the ire of Bandits, who mainly live off robbing these both groups.
