What's wrong with a lord daddy who just wants to draw cards?

Chapter 205-204- Infinite Salt Mine
Four days later, in the Imperial City, the Office of the War Ignorance Bureau.

Duomi received an unexpected guest as soon as he returned to the royal city.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince has brought great joy to my little war situation."

Philip N. Augustus couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable watching this child who was seven years younger than himself pretending to be a worldly adult. However, he was a prince and hid his emotions very well, sitting on the Domi raised his arm across from him and took a sip of hot tea.

"My lord, you are serious. You can start the war bureau on your own at such a young age. How can I, a lazy and lazy prince, compare with you? Also, just call me Fei Rui. The third prince and all that make us look too different." ”

While Fei Rui was observing Duomi, Duomi was also thinking about the same thing. This little fat man cannot be said to be famous outside, at least he is notorious. He is labeled as arrogant and domineering, a contemporary lecher, a spendthrift, and the foolish son of the king's family. It was considered a compliment to him.

This guy can be so arrogant that he forcibly marries the beautiful daughter of a noble family and has a harem of 81 people. He can also kill all the dogs within ten kilometers of the palace and send them to dog meat shops because he doesn't like dogs, no matter if the dogs are strays Whether they are raised by common people or raised by nobles, they are all the same, just by saying that the emperor is my father...

However, hearing is false and seeing is believing. When he met Fei Rui in person, he realized that this person was actually no easier to deal with than the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. In other words, this guy was the one who hid the deepest.

On the surface, he pretends to be crazy and acts stupid, but in fact he is extremely smart.

"Haha, His Highness Fei Rui is really good at joking. I am just a minor official, and I only serve the royal family. By the way, the same goes for the seats and so on. His Highness just calls me by my name."

The two looked at each other and laughed, and this was the end of the business exchange.

"Then what's the matter with Your Highness Fei Rui coming to this war? Why don't you tell me, maybe you can help."

"Ah, there is indeed something going on, but it has nothing to do with the War Bureau. In fact, I came here specifically to see you, Lord Dominic."

"I?"

"It's like this. I heard that the Salt and Iron government camp is being implemented recently. This policy should be initiated by you, Mr. Dominic."

Duomi didn't deny it, nodded and said, "That's true."

"Ah~ I acquired nearly [-]% of the private salt and iron industry in the south and east overnight. I am making a lot of money every day. It is really enviable. Lord Dominic, I wonder if I can have a piece of this big cake. ?”

Domi's slightly wrinkled brow relaxed after hearing this sentence. It turned out that he was going to his property, so that's okay. Even his sitting posture changed to a more relaxed posture.

These little moves were all caught in Fei Rui's eyes. Such a confident Duomi made him a little unpredictable.

"Then how does His Highness Fei Rui want to participate? Investment and technology investment, or...?"

"Lord Dominic seems to have made considerable achievements in business, so I won't beat around the bush. My opinion is this. You and your Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce currently occupy [-]% of the salt and iron industry in the southeast. The remaining ones are almost all in the hands of the nobles, and it’s difficult for us to make a move, so why not focus on the northwest of the empire that has not yet been touched?”

Domi knew that most of Ferry's supporters were free businessmen, workers and farmers, and that Cumberbatch also supported him. Under such conditions, he should not be short of money to acquire those industries in the northwest.

"Oh? But as far as I know, the production of salt and iron in the western and northern parts of the empire is less than one-tenth of that in the southeast. Is a place like that really valuable to acquire?"

"There is indeed no related industry there, and the output is very low." Fei Rui suddenly paused here, with a mysterious and serious expression: "But my people discovered an inexhaustible product in the Gobi terrain in the northwest of the empire. Salt Land.”

"Never dry up? Does it mean that the total output is estimated to be large?" "No, no, no, no! That's the literal meaning. It is a huge cave, and inside, as much permanent salt as you take can be produced immediately. mine!"

"how can that be?!"

But Duomi regretted it as soon as he said that he wanted to go out. After all, this is a world where magic and gods dance together. It is just a cave that permanently produces salt. It is really not worth being too surprised.

"Wait a minute, I'm a little rude... Your Highness Fei Rui, if there really is such a... Feng Shui treasure land, why do you still tell me?"

To this, Fei Rui already had the answer in his mind: "Master Dominic, you don't know something. Although I have a few dollars in my pocket, I can't reach this far. It's the limit to send people over to investigate. I want to organize Building a mining site with a trustworthy construction team is beyond my capabilities.

But the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce, which has footprints all over the continent, must have this ability. How about I share the information and invest 30.00% of the shares with funds? "

It sounded reasonable, and it might actually be a reason, but Duomi knew that the real reason was far from simple. It might have something to do with the Cumberbatch family behind the third prince.

You know, the little fat guy Fei Rui couldn't even spend the pocket money issued by his parents. With so much money, Cumberbatch's blood transfusion must have been included.

It's just that whether Ferry wants to use this salt mine to feed back to Cumberbatch and the people related to this production area to gain more support, or whether he wants to use other people's money to make private money for himself, that is probably only known to him. .

Domi still prefers the latter.

As a prince, Fei Rui will definitely leave a way out for himself. What if Cumberbatch temporarily switches sides?Then isn't he alone?How to defeat the eldest brother and second brother who have strong soldiers and horses...

Seeing that Duomi was still hesitant, Ferry directly proposed to take Duomi to see the place in person:
"As long as you see it with your own eyes, I think you will make up your mind."

"So...when can it be done?"

"Any time, as long as you are free, we can leave at any time."

"Then please wait a few days. Your Highness, you also know that I have just come back, and there are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in the two departments." Duomi looked bitter and apologetic.

Fei Rui was not in a hurry and nodded slowly: "It's understandable. After preparations are completed, please come to my bedroom and we will discuss related matters."

"Well, definitely."

After Fei Rui said goodbye and left, Duomi was the only one left in the office. He leaned on the office chair and looked up at the ceiling.

Infinite salt, what magic can do this?

He racked his brains and counted all the magic he had learned but couldn't come up with a reason.

"It would be great if Shia was here...you can ask anything without opening your mouth."
