Lord Harland.

Because they have to travel by water, horse-drawn carriages cannot be consigned, so Li Cha's caravan can only rely on manpower to transport goods.

It is very convenient to travel by water, and the water on board can be replenished along the way. After entering Jonathan's territory, he can enter Eastburg after eating dry food for two days.

Richard's caravan of 300 people actually didn't need to carry much luggage.

Together with a small amount of iron wildebeest to help transport, they can bring back twenty tons of goods.

Twenty tons of salt can be saved to feed 20,000 people for a year.

After transporting this batch of salt back and organizing a caravan this time, the goal of coming to the Dukedom of Jonathan will be achieved.

The purchase of salt only cost 110 gold coins, and 12 gold coins were required for water transportation back and forth. This trip saved a lot of costs.

Richard did some calculations and found that according to the price specified by Butler Savile this year, the Haaland family would have to invest at least more than a thousand gold coins to purchase the salt controlled by Archon Jerram.

More than a thousand gold coins can support an additional squadron of regular troops.

Even though the Harland Territory now has a lot of income, the additional expenditure of more than a thousand gold coins is very heavy.

Richard was not going to take back the remaining six hundred gold coins from this sale.

The territory now has a good cash flow, and taking back the gold coins is useless except for hiding them in the cellar.

Spending it indiscriminately will only cause inflation within the territory. It is better to exchange it for goods from the Duke of Jonathan to enhance the heritage of the Harland family.

In addition to producing salt, the Duke of Jonathan is also famous for its armor.

However, the Harland Territory does not lack steel. Buying armor from the Duke of Jonathan will discourage the enthusiasm of the blacksmiths in the Harland Territory.

The purchase of iron armor will affect the production of armor in Harland's territory, which will prevent the blacksmith's technology from being improved for a long time.

Richard wandered around East City and found that the productivity of the duchy was also very low, and the goods that could be produced here could be produced in Heihe City.

Although the territory of Harland is short of cloth, transporting it back from the Duke of Jonathan, including the freight along the way, cannot compete with local goods at all.

Just when Richard was a little disappointed and was about to take the gold coins back. Serena went directly to the door.

"Baron Richard, you've been wandering around East City for the past few days, but are you looking for special products?"

Not long after a large caravan like Richard entered East City, his information was found out by the Sierra Chamber of Commerce.

In the environment of Chenxi Continent, every big businessman has the support of nobles.

There is no rule in the major kingdoms that nobles cannot do business. Almost all hereditary nobles will end up in person and run commercial activities.

Without a strong backing, no matter how big the business is, it will be easily annexed by the powerful.

"Yes, but I found that except for salt, there are no particularly outstanding products in Jonathan's territory. If we bring them back to Black River Fort, it will be difficult to compete with local products."

In the major kingdoms of Dawn Continent, local protectionism is very serious.

The local businesses are all controlled by hereditary nobles. These people are deeply connected and relatively powerful.

Unless it is a scarce commodity that is not available locally, it is possible to make a profit in this environment.

Ordinary goods cannot compete with the local chamber of commerce at all.

The steel trade of the Harland family has now affected the interests of some people.

Some time ago, Baron Franklin of Brenner County sent people into the territory of Harland, intending to steal steel manufacturing technology, destroy the mines of the Harland family, and attack the territory's steel production capacity.

Baron Franklin is the largest producer of steel products in the Gedda province.

This family has made military achievements in the pioneering war, and its territory is in Brenner County behind the Gerda Province. In recent decades, it has hardly been invaded by orcs.

The family of Baron Franklin was very wealthy because of the discovery of iron ore in the territory. The management of the territory is very good. Although the territory covers an area of ​​less than 500 square kilometers, there are already 40,000 slaves and citizens in the territory.

A rich territory and a large population can support an army. Although Baron Franklin's territory is small, there are six squadrons of soldiers.

Because of the steel production capacity, there are still a lot of iron armor.

The only thing worse than the Harland Territory is that they have less combat experience. Except for the officers of the Franklin family, the soldiers do not practice breathing techniques, so they are far inferior to the Harland Territory.

The Harland family and the Franklin family have already lost their lives due to business conflicts.

After catching the person who entered the territory to cause trouble, Richard had asked William to take the person away and report him to Wright County, the capital of the province.

Because of commercial profits, the relationship became more and more tense, and there were not a few nobles who finally broke out in territorial wars.

Although Richard is only a baron, the Harland family already has great influence in the province of Gerda, second only to Viscount Roman in strength.He organized a caravan to do business in the Duke of Jonathan, and the upper echelon of the Duke of Jonathan naturally cared about him.

Where does Li Cha go every day?

How long did you stay?

How many people have you met?

Even the conversations she had with people were reported to Serena’s ears in detail.

“It is indeed difficult for ordinary products to compete with local products, but we in the Dukedom of Jonathan also have many special products.

These commodities will not be sold in the market. If you want to buy them, you can only go to the Duke's Mansion to find Madam Serra? "

"Miss Serena, can you tell me what special products you have?"

"For example, enchanted weapons, enchanted armor, magic bombs, Tenghui potions, and some special magic plants. In addition, our Warcraft Racecourse will also sell some war horses, such as the iron horned horses that our family needs."

Before Richard became a professional, he once captured a group of feral wildebeests with his uncle Soros.

Among them, the Harland family was allocated nine horses. In recent years, the population has been slightly expanded. There are already fourteen iron horned horses, and three more have been successfully bred.

The iron horned horse assigned to Roland was the most valuable, but it was a pity that he died in the defense battle of Platos Fortress.

Uncle Soros was allocated three iron wildebeests, and now he has grown to five.

The number of World of Warcraft horses is too small, and it is not enough to form a knightly group dominated by professionals.

Moreover, there is a shortage of professional officers in Harland's territory. If he wants to form a knight order like Baron Harden, according to the normal development speed of the barony, Richard will not be able to do such a thing in his lifetime.

In the past few years, the territory lacked funds, and there was no rich gold coin to buy iron wildebeests to expand the population.After hearing Serena's introduction, Li Cha was a little moved.

"Miss Serena, can you take a look at the feral wildebeest for sale?"

"Of course it is possible."

Led by Serena, Richard entered the backyard of the Duke's Mansion.

A dozen feral horned horses awaiting sale are in the yard.

Richard looked at it carefully and felt a little disappointed. These iron horned horses waiting for sale are basically first-class inferior horses. There are only a few mares, and they probably have some minor problems.
