MC was not there for that, he is there to replace the merchants and in addition, his father will not sell at a loss the salt he will have bought from the merchants, better he takes 20% of the profits.
If his father is a good lord he will reinvest the tax and the money he has not lost in something that will take care of the problem of its territory
the real problem is that this territory does not attract merchants.
His territory does not lack food, only the salt is a real problem, currently he has to help his people for the salt, but I think that if there were a bigger population he would not have a problem, because he would be easier for the merchants to make the trip profitable (the population has increased however, but the author tries to make us believe that it is even harder than before with more people).
Perhaps a unique industry to attract merchants, but in this case it will be even harder to have salt in the first few years, because there will be even fewer people available to collect the salt (after the creation of a new industry which exports well, the merchants will come by themselves with salt and other things and will leave with the new product).
In short, it's up to the lord to do something and at least there he will have money (+ the scam on the objects that the MC will recover during the quest)
Honeyed wine with the help of the MC sugar and advertising (it's the wine of heroes), but it should not relies on one person (MC) it has no future without enough sugar from the territory, or the merchants.
I think the lord has a plan and uses the MC, but his heir is capable of messing up everything, especially if the father dies prematurely.
As for the Currency circulation, I think that in their case a local money for the transactions with the lord and his subjects would be better (local money with no real value in the materials used, just something that is a bit rare and preferably not available in the region and which has no real commercial value to users).
With the value of this money possessed by the lord in real money, it leaves the majority of the territory's money in the hands of the lord and allows him to invest with this money, the best would be to buy tools that make life easier, agricultural machinery or machinery for a new industry, or the raw material for these things if he has the capable craftsmen (life easier = less farmer = more people for other industries, or other well-equipped industries that need few people)
Local money without real value will be replaced later by money with real value, it is a temporary solution, the time to invest and to have results
