When he was finally done controlling all the files Eric made a simple addition of all the neccessities he had purchased which had reached a good 7000.
Out of the 7653 there were only 1000 women, 3000 men, and the rest were all children of different ages, with most of them being below 10 years old.
The total price went to a staggering 50k Goulds, which was a sum that possible only the high nobles or the highest of the officials could afford.
Even them though would need to save or pay this ammount across a few years to say the least. After all what kind of noble or official would keep such an amount in liquid cash.
In fact, even if Eric managed to make the deal with the Sultan and the Vezir about the pills he was going to sell them, he still wouldn't be able to get this ammount in cash right away.
