What does it mean a hard man reaps where he has not sown and gathers where he has not strawed?

This reference is in the Biblical parable of the talents. Three individuals are entrusted with different amounts of money (talents) while the master is away. When he returns the one entrusted with the least amount states he feared the master because he is a hard man... The statement references a master that is above the confines of social courtesy and what others think. He seizes opportunity and does not consider whether or not it is okay. It also references delegation as his earnings are not limited to his own ability and effort. He gives the money to others to sow and expects the return. In this example the master is God, who is, of course, just and above human imposed social law. The master finds that the individual with the least has protected the money by burying it. The angry master takes the money and gives it to the man with the most to be invested. The idea is that we have been given "talents" and those with the least are still expected to do the most with it in life.
