Richard's journey to Duke Jonathan went well.

From Haaland's territory to Jonathan's territory, it is about two hundred kilometers in a straight line.

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

Fortunately, it was possible to take the waterway, go south through Powell River and enter the Heihe River, and go down the Heihe River for 220 kilometers to disembark at the border ferry of Lahe Province.

Although it is a long detour, it can be transported by river, saving 70% of the distance.

After four days on a boat, Richard and the others walked more than 300 kilometers, disembarked from the border ferry port of Lahe Province, and came to the border of the Duke of Jonathan.

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

Enter the Duchy of Jonathan, a hundred kilometers from the capital city of Easter.

After more than 100 years of operation, generations of members of the Jonathan family have fought bravely, and the territory has become very prosperous.

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

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

The Jonathan family has three legions with more than 80,000 soldiers, and they are also very well-equipped, with the help of a mage regiment.

The entire Grant Kingdom, except for the royal family, is the strongest in the Jonathan family.

Eastburg is the capital of Jonathan's territory, with 100,000 people living in the city, and a thriving population of more than 600,000 people within a few dozen kilometers of the surrounding area.

It looks more prosperous than the densely populated cities of Fort Black River and Fort Letterte.

Richard's caravan carried more than 20 tons of cargo, especially 300 urns of liquor, each of which was 60 kilograms, adding up to 18 tons.

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

More than 150 soldiers, plus more than 100 people, plus heavy packages, the average weight of each person is close to 150 catties.

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

Even if it is a long march, it is very easy to carry thousands of pounds of goods.

Two tons of iron arrows can be carried away by five or six professionals.

Moreover, for this shipment, Richard also used an iron wildebeest to be responsible for transporting the goods.

The Iron Wildebeest is a magical beast that can easily carry a thousand catties of supplies.

Although carrying heavy cargo, the caravan traveled only two and a half days after a hundred and a half kilometers, and in the afternoon it came to the vicinity of the castle of East.

Richard handed the customs clearance paperwork to the city guards, and after inspecting the goods, the group found a large inn outside the castle and crowded into the inn.

Through the innkeeper, Richard learned about the largest chamber of commerce in Castle East, called the Serra Chamber of Commerce.

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

Richard came to Jonathan's trade with a caravan not to engage in retail, so he decided to wholesale the goods to the Sierra Chamber of Commerce, and buy salt from the Sierra Chamber of Commerce to bring back to the family domain.

Because of the large number of goods they carried and the high value, they did not come to the Serra Chamber of Commerce for a long time, and they also alarmed the owner of the Chamber of Commerce, Serena Serra.

Serena Serra is the younger sister of Lady Serra and the wife of Baron de Rossi. But according to public rumors at Easte Castle, he was also Duke Jonathan's lover and even gave birth to an illegitimate child for the duke.

Duke Jonathan already had two wives, the first of whom was a consanguineous marriage. The duke married his aunt and gave birth to four children in a row, but unfortunately they were all fools and disabled people.

The successive blows drove the Duchess crazy.

Eventually, the first duchess was sent to the monastery of the Church of the Crown.

Lady Sierra is the second wife of Duke Jonathan, and the Sierra family is also a hereditary vassal of the Jonathan family, and there are also some dragon vein knight blood within the family.

After Lady Serra married, she gave birth to six children, the eldest of whom was thirty-two years old and had been appointed heir by the duke.

The Sierra Chamber of Commerce has been established for more than ten years, not only has business in the Duke of Jonathan, but has also extended its tentacles to other parts of the Grant Kingdom, and even the royal capital Nolan also has the presence of the Sierra Chamber of Commerce.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and to do big business for a long time, we must be honest.

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

Although the goods brought by Richard are very valuable, it is impossible for the Sierra Chamber of Commerce to do something to kill people and oversell the goods.

The people at the Sierra Chamber of Commerce were very shrewd and competent, and the goods were quickly counted.

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

Because the freight is not small, the price of liquor reaches five copper coins per kilogram.

Wine is also made in Jonathan's domain, and the price of local wine is one silver coin per kilogram.

Such a price was very unaffordable, and almost only high-ranking military officers, nobles, and merchants of great value would drink it regularly.

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

In the Dawn Plane, red wine is a luxury, and high-grade liquor is a necessity to a certain extent.

Baijiu is the largest and heaviest, and the price of selling adds up to about 250 gold coins.

A two-ton iron arrow can be transported in a horse-drawn cart, but it can be sold for a high price of three hundred gold coins.

The price of brown sugar is equally good, and like honey, it costs a kilogram of silver coins.

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

The amount of honey was much more than that of brown sugar, a total of 1,600 catties, and the total was sold for sixty-six gold coins and eight silver coins.

Combined, these two items sold for a total of seventy-five gold coins.

The last royal jelly has the highest price, it is already considered a magic item, ten gold coins a kilogram, a total of less than twenty catties, exchanged for ninety-two gold coins.

In the end, the goods were sold for a whopping 717 gold coins, and Richard was going to use some of them to buy salt. The remaining gold coins are ready to buy some goods that are in demand in the Principality of Jonathan.

Duke Jonathan has salt mines, and the production is very large.

The price of local salt is also cheap, and a copper coin can buy half a kilogram. Converted to gold coins, one hundred and eighty kilograms can be purchased.

In Geda Province, in recent years, it took 12 copper coins to buy a kilogram of salt.

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

This year, the price will increase by sixty percent, nineteen copper coins per kilogram of table salt, nine times higher than the Duke of Jonathan.

From this, it can be seen how ruthlessly the Holland family is exploiting salt?
