[In this chapter, Asmon will be mentioned again. He was mentioned in ch 59.]
Actually, this was not the only reason he introduced Contribution Points System to Mermaids.
The greater significance of this move lies in the financial control over the mermaids.
Although the Hartmann family is still weak now compared 3rd Rank forces, they have actually gradually taken control of the weapons and equipment of the mermaids.
Coupled with Luis control over the mermaid's currency, he will inevitably control the mermaid's economy in the future.
Not to mention that once Luis sells the spiritual rice to the mermaids, he will control the mermaids' food.
When a force's military, economy, and even food supply are controlled by another force, outsiders will not believe that it is not a vassal.
However, the mermaids seemed unaware of what Luis had done.
This is also the drawback of the relatively backward systems in this world.
