A Second Deal With the Margraves (Part-1)

Before Alexander signed the contract, he did have a read through it.

The main thing that was written on the paper was that it stated that the ships carrying goods from either region would not be charged any tariffs or tax beyond a port landing fee.

And if these goods were to be moved from city to city, they would only be subjected to an additional 'gate tax' which was a kind of toll some cities charged merchants to enter the city,

But beyond those costs, trade between the two regions would be free.

Alexander would have preferred that 'gate tax' did not exist either, but he knew this was a large source of income for many small nobles and so did not strongly insist on it.

Following this were the various names of the parties involved.

On Lady Miranda's side this not only included the Margrave family but also many of the trade guilds of Galiosos.
