At dusk, Alexandria, the pearl of the Eastern Mediterranean, once again welcomed its master.
Though it might not be the hub of all of Egypt like Cairo, Losa still preferred to place his seat of governance here.
In this regard, he shared a rare consensus with the previous master of this land, Adil, the Governor of Egypt appointed by Saladin.
In the Governor's Palace west of the city, Losa, having just withdrawn from the banquet, was now sitting on a silk cushion in his bedchamber, browsing the account books placed on the table.
Now, the trade of Alexandria Port had gradually returned to normalcy. Once the merchants affected by the wars realized that the new master here also welcomed them, this trade route became prosperous again.
According to the tariff accounts, just this month, the trade volume of Alexandria Port reached an astonishing 350,000 dinars. Calculating at a ten percent tariff, he could collect 35,000 dinar gold coins.
