In fact, the ancients had limited knowledge about border trade. Even Gavin was not optimistic about the prospects of the Yunnan-Tibet trade that Elijah had strongly requested to open.
He just wanted Mingzhan to make a pie, solve the problem of salt merchants, and reform the salt policy. Invisibly, Mingzhan got a big bargain.
In Gavin's eyes, the salt administration was the big boss and could not fall into Mingzhan's hands. Therefore, even though it was not glorious, Gavin still took the initiative to trap Mingzhan.
Fortunately, Elijah is easy to please. It's a new city with just a few shops built. At most, there will be two to three thousand people stationed there in the future. Just let Elijah do what he wants. It also saves him from having any crooked ideas about the salt administration.
Mingzhan is a contented person, so having a new city is better than having nothing at all.
