You agree to buy precious salt so that both peole and nobility can have some spicyness in their foods now that spices are not coming from the Gubta.
The Agaresians discuss the agreement between themselves for a while longer before then bow their heads in respect, agreeing. They have the agreement written down in two copies, one for you and one for them. Both copies have Methiantese script on top and Agaresian script on the bottom. According to the agreement, the salt caravan will pick up the money.

"Here is report of the renovations, sire." He unfolds one of the scrolls over the Status. "Almost all of keeps and manors were renovated. Only few remain at near-finished state."
"My liege, the peasants are very mellow for years. Now that we're running out of silver, gems are sent west and coinage will be sent north, we need extra cash. I suggest we tax peasants higher to squeeze extra coin from them."
A) "One year of higher taxes won't hurt anyone."
B) "Nah, let's keep them mellow for more."
C) "Raise the level of taxes for all, it's time to reap the rewards of the good rule of Yoe dynasty."
"Also, I'm happy to announce that the royal scribes have enlarged the map of Methiant and nearby lands." He then sprawls the huge scroll on your desk, the scroll having been widened and stitched and extended many times.
