The reason why Zhang Zhongjun dared to think that there were no cattle in the Chaos Islands was because the so-called invasion of overseas people on his side had already swept most of the islands, and it could be said that the situation was critical.

Zhang Zhongjun, who was indifferent, did not immediately order his subordinates to enter the battle, but continued to listen to his subordinates' reports. From these reports, Zhang Zhongjun knew what kind of life the people of this troubled archipelago lived.

Almost all civilians have to go down to the fields to plough the fields, and eighty percent of the grain harvested every year will be collected by the lord, and the lord will take these grains to pay for the war, that is, for the soldiers to eat, as for the peasants who only take 2 percent of the harvest below will starve to death, that is their own business.

However, according to the investigation, the soldiers did not eat enough, and they were often full and hungry, and even the lords ate like this, many times they ate with a meal soaked in white water.

If it weren't for the fact that it was so simple to eat from top to bottom, including the lord, I am afraid that the peasants would riot, the soldiers would riot, and each lord would be able to maintain the stability of the territory, largely because the lords and soldiers ate about the same.

But this is strange, because everyone is short of food, so the top and bottom are very nervous and concerned about farming, even if the farmland on this island is not fertile, but each harvest is not small, the lords who account for eighty percent of the harvest, even if they do not let the soldiers eat well, they themselves will definitely not be hungry.

The weird place is here, the lord's family usually eats the same as the soldiers, and there is no excess food in the lord's warehouse, anyway, after the annual grain collection, most of this large amount of grain will disappear, so that the lord can only use the food to the point of barely maintaining.

No one knows, because there is no such thing as a merchant on this island, and there is no other third way for the people on the island, either as lords or as subjects, so there is no such thing as a merchant who can walk freely.

The profession of artisan exists, but all craftsmen work for the lord and receive the soldier's rations. And the blacksmith or something, there is a small blacksmith shop in a territory, and the iron ore dug by the people is smelted and forged.

Hearing these reports, Zhang Zhongjun suddenly came over, damn it, after cleaning up so many lords, he got a report on how much food was seized and how many weapons were seized, but as for the money, there was no money at all, it turned out that there was no money on this chaotic island?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Zhongjun became vigilant, a normal society is impossible to do without money, that is, primitive people will use shells, or specially polished stones to make currency in exchange, not to mention this war-torn place, they have not found gold, silver, bronze and other precious metals for so many years?

This is impossible, because every territory has a blacksmith workshop, and since they can all smelt ore to make weapons, how can they not smelt other metals to make currency?

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongjun immediately ordered his subordinates to find the blacksmith in the Weifang territory, and then ordered the blacksmith to smelt metal.

Under the onlookers of Zhang Zhongjun, the nervous blacksmith smelted a pile of ore into molten iron with quick movements, but the strange thing is that people with eyes saw that the ore contained gold, silver, copper and iron, but the blacksmith was directly cast into the shape of a weapon, and then the bell was built.

Zhang Zhongjun stopped him, let him continue smelting, and deliberately let him differentiate various metals, which can be said to be a hands-on teaching.

But the native-blacksmith didn't know what was going on, and he was obviously terrified to the extreme, and he didn't dare to smelt it in the slightest disobedience, but he always made a lump of mixed metal!

As a result, everyone present gasped, and the knight who smelted it himself was stunned, and the knight actually meowed the ore directly into a lump of mixed metal, and he couldn't even use the simplest method of diverting different metals!

"Sisi, my lord, what's going on? I'm sure I'm going to have a very normal mind before, and I didn't look like I'm being confused, but Mao would be stupid enough to smelt such a metal?" the knight looked at Zhang Zhongjun with some panic.

Zhang Zhongjun clapped his hands and sighed: "I just feel strange, so that's the case!" Seeing that his subordinates were all looking at him with a confused expression, Zhang Zhongjun smiled and said: "You say that a society where tens of millions of people live, and it has formed a solid society that has lasted for hundreds of years, would there be no such things as currency and commodity trading, is it very strange?"

"Yes, I think it's strange, but I can't think of why this is the case, especially those lords who levy so much food, but they disappear inexplicably, and they are still as hungry as the soldiers below, and there are countless lords who are fighting endlessly, and there are no lords who want to be harmonious neighbors and then develop steadily, they are all wars against the outside world as soon as he becomes a lord, and he fights until he kills people, but as soon as the new lord comes to power and urgently needs to start a war with the outside world, he doesn't think about anything else, he knows how to recruit troops and equipment and then start fighting these three things. If it weren't for the fact that these guys were all sane, we would all suspect that they were puppets!" The knights echoed, talking about what they had encountered during their campaign on the island.

"You guys, you still subconsciously doubt the question from the perspective of mortals, of course, you can't guess any answer. Forget the world senses of the Great Chen Dynasty era, there are powerful people like gods in this Holy Grace Continent!" Zhang Zhongjun said with a sigh.

"Ah?!Is this chaotic archipelago actually a battle scene arranged by the gods?!, just like those green-skinned monsters, which belong to the kind of relationship of the god's dolls?!" The knights were shocked.

If Zhang Zhongjun didn't point it out, they would really have to habitually think about the strange things on the Chaotic Islands according to the thinking of the Great Chen Dynasty, just like Zhang Zhongjun said, guessing with the thinking of mortals, naturally there is no way to explain that the Chaotic Islands have so many strange rules for Mao.

But if you think about it according to the thinking of the world of the Holy Grace Continent, as soon as you see these strange rules and restrictions, you will naturally think for the first time that this is probably the restriction set by God on this chaotic archipelago, right? And why did God do this? It is probably funny, don't you see that even the invincible existence of the Greenskin Monster is a doll created by God?
