That's what nail and back of the ear inspection is for. You just need to set up a kapo to keep everyone in line.

the lords put a lot of pressure and attention on their peasants to give them the most work and productivity, but the lords also wouldn't give a poo poo about the peasants dying since they'd rather they were harvesting than washing their huts. until the black death made peasant labour scarce and everything kicked off. the only reason we aren't still living in mud huts is because that disease killed half of the peasants in europe.

Maybe you could develop the sugar beet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_beet Depending on when and where you land, cane sugar can be rare and expensive. You'd need to find some of the sweeter white beets, not the stronger flavored red beets, but those should already exist. Sugar beets were developed from fodder beets. A few decades of selective breeding will improve them substantially, but you can start with whatever is available. The easiest production method is to cut them up small and boil them for hours, then squeeze the juice out of the mash. Feed the mash to pigs. Reduce the juice to a thick liquid similar to honey or molasses. This isn't a high quality sugar, but it is a proof of concept. To get a better quality sugar you need Milk of Lime (AKA limewater, whitewash) to precipitate out the organic compounds, and then carbon dioxide to precipitate out the calcium from the lime. Carbon dioxide could be tricky, it looks like they didn't find reliable ways to produce it until the late 1700s. It looks like you can do it by dripping Oil of Vitriol (sulfuric acid) onto chalk. Eh, within the realm of possibility. Easier than making good steel or safely making gunpowder or Greek fire. Instead of making warfare, you'll be introducing the medieval rich to the wonders of Type 2 Diabetes centuries early. There is no war but class war.
