Chapter 319 Extra Salt’s Market Price!

Chapter 319 (Extra) Salt’s Market Price!

May 11th, at Sharuru city.

“I want to buy some salt.”

There was group going around saying that.

“We are in a bit of a shortage of goods at the moment so…”

“I don’t care, I will pay double.”

“I-if so, then…”

And like this, the shops had ran out of salt really quick.

On the same day, the same scene was witnessed at Doppa, Rakuno and Toka village.

Kurain kingdom doesn’t have an ocean. And at the moment, they didn’t know about rock salt in the country.

As such, salt was an imported good and Serroa kingdom provided more than 80% of it.

They knew about the usefulness of salt so naturally, Kurain kingdom also came up with a somewhat plan.

One of which was to stock up salt and other was to import from different countries.

At the capital city Alban, there was a salt reserve which held more than hundreds of tons of salt stocked up. However, the king managed it and n.o.body could take salt from there without permission.

Moreover, they were also importing salt from the neighboring country, Leonard kingdom, but as it was a closed off country to begin with, the foreign trades from there was insignificant.

Rather, Egelia kingdom’s delivery through Serroa kingdom was more than that.

However, as salt is heavy and they would have to carry it through a long distance, the price being double wasn’t abnormal.

“I don’t care if it’s the normal salt, could you sell me some?”

Such an exchange also took place.

In the Kurain kingdom, all the salt is gathered in the capital and only the merchants, who are given permission by the king, were able to do business with them.

Although, this permission is given to anyone as long as they provide 20% of the selling price as tax.

“I will pay three times the market price!”

“I guess I could sell you some then.”

It hasn’t turned into a monopoly so the marketplace changes with demand and supply. At present, the price of salt was gradually increasing at one part of the Earth.

“We have bought quite a bit, huh?”

“We also used quite a lot of money too, though.”

“That doesn’t matter. We can just sell them back at the right opportunity. If we are able to sell properly, we would also be able to profit.”

There was a group having such a conversation. They were Earl Walter’s subordinates.

Salt intake differs from person to person but it is approximately 8 grams per day. Considering the waste as well, it would reach around 10 grams per day so that would be 300 grams per month.

If there are 5 members in a family, that would be 1.5 kg. Salt is also used in pickling so an average of 2 kgs of salt will be used.

At present, the amount of salt they bought was about to cross 4 tons.

“Seriously, even though it’s only 30 toll per kg in Elias kingdom, it’s 150 toll here.”

“We don’t have seas so it can’t be helped. It’s 50 toll per kg in Serroa kingdom, you know? And since our country is buying from them, of course it would cost more.”

“Buying that costly salt at an even higher price of 450 toll, seriously what is Earl Walter thinking?”

“As if I know. We just have to do what we were told.”

At the end, they had bought a total of 5 tons of salt that day.

The following day, 12th of May. Rumors brought salt merchants to Sharuru city.

Among them, an interesting merchant was present. It was a merchant with a golem.

They had let the golem pull the wagon while the merchant was peddling. That caught quite a lot of eyes and gathered many customers.
