Lord Harland.

Richard's journey to the Dukedom of Jonathan went smoothly.

From the Harland Territory to the Jonathan Territory, the straight-line distance is about 200 kilometers.

However, there is no direct road connecting the two territories, and many areas in between are barren mountains.

Fortunately, we can take the water route, go south through the Powell River and enter the Black River. We can sail down the Black River for 220 kilometers and disembark at the ferry at the border of Lahe Province.

Although it takes a lot of detours, it can be transported by river, saving 70% of the distance.

Richard and others took the boat for four days and walked more than 300 kilometers. After disembarking from the ferry at the border of Lach Province, they arrived at the border of the Dukedom of Jonathan.

After entering the border of Duke Jonathan, Richard took his noble seal and passed the inspection of the border post. After paying taxes to the dukedom, he can pass through the customs clearance documents freely in Jonathan's territory.

Entering the Dukedom of Jonathan, there is still a hundred kilometers away from the capital, East Castle.

After more than a hundred years of operation, successive generations of Jonathan family members fought bravely, and the territory has become very prosperous.

The entire Dukedom of Jonathan covers an area of ​​120,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to a relatively small province in Richard's previous life.

The population of the territory is also relatively large, probably more than 2 million people.

The Jonathan family has three legions under its command, with more than 80,000 soldiers and very well-equipped equipment, and a group of mages to help out.

In the entire Grant Kingdom, apart from the royal family, the Jonathan family is the most powerful.

Eastburg is the capital of Jonathan's territory. There are 100,000 people living in the city, and the population for dozens of kilometers nearby is very prosperous, adding up to more than 600,000 people.

It looks more prosperous than densely populated big cities like Black River Fort and Wright Fort.

Li Cha's caravan carried more than tons of goods, especially urns of liquor, each urn was kilograms, which added up to tons.

Plus two tons of iron arrowheads, hundreds of catties of brown sugar, thousands of catties of honey, and more than ten catties of royal jelly.

With more than 150 soldiers, more than 100 civilians, and heavy packages, each person's average load is close to 150 kilograms.

Fortunately, there are many strong men in Dawn Continent, such as Richard and his uncle Soros, who can carry items weighing one ton.

Even if it is a long-distance march, it is very easy to carry a heavy load.

Five or six professionals can carry two tons of iron arrows.

Besides, for this shipment, Li Cha also used iron horned horses to carry the load.

A magical beast like the Iron Wild Horse can easily carry a thousand kilograms of supplies.

Although carrying heavy cargo, the caravan only traveled a hundred kilometers for two and a half days. In the afternoon, they arrived near East Castle.

Li Cha handed the customs clearance documents to the city defense army. After inspecting the goods, everyone found a large hotel outside the castle, and crowded together to live in the hotel.

Through the innkeeper, Richard found out that the largest chamber of commerce in East Castle is called the Sierra Chamber of Commerce.

This chamber of commerce has a very strong background and can communicate with the upper echelons of Duke Jonathan.

Richard brought the caravan to Jonathan for trade, not for retail, so he decided to wholesale the goods to the Sierra Chamber of Commerce, and buy salt from the Sierra Chamber of Commerce, and bring them back to the family territory.

Because they carried a large quantity and high value of goods, they arrived at the Serra Chamber of Commerce not long ago and alerted the owner of the Chamber of Commerce, Serena Serra.

Selina Serra is the younger sister of Madame Serra, wife of the Baron de Rossi.However, according to public rumors in East Castle, he was also the lover of Duke Jonathan, and even gave birth to an illegitimate child for the Duke.

Duke Jonathan already has two wives, the first of which was a consanguineous marriage. The Duke married his aunt and gave birth to four children in succession. Unfortunately, they were all fools and disabled people.

The continuous blows made the Duchess go crazy.

Eventually the first duchess was sent to a royal church convent.

Mrs. Serra is the second wife of Duke Jonathan. The Serra family is also a hereditary vassal of the Jonathan family. There are also some dragon knights in the family.

After Mrs. Sera got married, she gave birth to six children. The eldest son is thirty-two years old and has been designated as the heir by the Duke.

The Sierra Chamber of Commerce has been established for more than ten years. It not only has business in Duke Jonathan, but has extended its tentacles to other parts of the Grant Kingdom. Even the king's capital, Nolan, also has the Sierra Chamber of Commerce.

Shopping malls are like battlefields. To do big business for a long time, you must be honest.

Unless the interests are very large, a behemoth like the Sierra Chamber of Commerce can be made to abandon integrity.

Although the goods brought by Li Cha are very valuable, it is impossible for the Sierra Chamber of Commerce to commit murder and steal goods.

The people at the Sierra Chamber of Commerce were very smart and capable, and they quickly counted the goods.

Although they had never seen some of the goods that Richard brought, such as white wine and brown sugar, they immediately informed Serena after tasting them and decided to eat the goods.

Because the shipping cost is not small, the price of baijiu reaches five copper coins per kilogram.

Jonathan's territory also produces red wine, and the price of local red wine is one silver coin per kilogram.

Such a price is very unfriendly to the people, and almost only high-ranking military officers, nobles, and wealthy businessmen drink it regularly.

Even if the Sierra Chamber of Commerce raises the retail price to seven copper coins per kilogram, it is several times cheaper than red wine.

In the morning light plane, red wine is a luxury, while high-grade liquor is a necessity to a certain extent.

Liquor has the largest volume and the heaviest weight, and the selling price adds up to about 250 gold coins.

A two-ton iron arrowhead can be transported in a carriage, but it can be sold for a high price of three hundred gold coins.

The price of brown sugar is also good, the same as honey, one silver coin per kilogram.

Two hundred catties of brown sugar sold for eight gold coins and four silver coins.

The amount of honey was much more than brown sugar, totaling 1,600 kilograms. The total sold was sixty-six gold coins and eight silver coins.

The two items combined were sold for a total of seventy-five gold coins.

The last royal jelly was the most expensive, it was already considered a magic item. It cost ten gold coins per kilogram, so the total was less than twenty kilograms, and I exchanged it for ninety-two gold coins.

In the end, this batch of goods sold for a high price of 717 gold coins, and Li Cha planned to use part of this sum to buy salt.The remaining gold coins are going to buy some commodities that are in short supply in the Principality of Jonathan.

Duke Jonathan owns a salt mine with a very large output.

Local salt is also cheap, with one copper coin buying half a kilogram. Converted into gold coins, one hundred and eighty kilograms can be purchased.

In Gerda Province, in recent years, only twelve copper coins can buy one kilogram of salt.

The price of salt is six times that of the Duke of Jonathan.

This year, the price will increase by 60%. One kilogram of salt will cost 19 copper coins, which is nine times higher than that of Duke Jonathan.

From this, we can see how hard the Huolan family exploited the salt?
