Mero's Plan
After Tenur's words, the servant of Mero's father closed his eyes, finding the words of this foreigner wise.
For anyone without possessions, any land would allow him to grow and make a profit. But until a place like this was changed to the point where hundreds of gold coins were generated monthly, as Mero needed, it would take a long time or a significant investment.
One would slowly make the necessary improvements and changes, or one would have to allocate many gold coins to that place initially. Only after that could one make a profit in such an area.
Mero will already invest in increasing the production of wine, glass, beer, plaster, bread, and paint, so it would make even less sense to expand his operations into an area that would need to be developed from scratch.
It would not be a good thing for him to buy this land expecting profits or a change in his condition in the short term.
