Jina looked at the bright smile on Duke's face, and there was an irrepressible emotion in her heart, and she could say countless words of comfort and encouragement, but there were no two simple words, which made people feel relaxed and uplifted.

"Duke, I think you're pretty good. ”

"You're not alone, everyone who knows me says so!"

After hearing this, a trace of emotion in Ji Na's heart instantly dissipated, and she couldn't help but say: "Straw bag, can you not be so narcissistic, don't you really have a concept of your own image in the imperial capital?"

Duke replied with disdain on his face at this moment: "Have you ever heard of this sentence, Shibei Sanri should be impressed, but it is estimated that with your education level, you must not have heard of it, after all, this is the philosophical discourse of the Eastern Seris Empire, and ordinary people can't reach this height." ”

Unexpectedly, Ji Na also replied with a disdainful face: "Duke, did you really learn these strange languages from the Eastern Cyris Empire? ”

"No culture, it's terrible! I'll tell you in popular language, that is, people will change, the one in the imperial capital is no longer what I am now, if I really go to the imperial capital, I will let those who have laughed at me see what a real genius is, not a straw bag!"

"Okay, you can go to the imperial capital to prove yourself!"

Jina instantly grasped a key point in Duke's words, and once again proposed to let him go to the imperial capital.

"Don't use any agitation on me, don't you just go to some martial arts academy, and I'll go over when I return to Storm Castle this time. ”

Hearing that Duke suddenly agreed, Ji Na replied with surprise written on her face: "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"Because I have more important things to do when I go to the Imperial Capital. ”

Duke's more important thing is naturally the Storm Firm. This world is different from the big cities of the modern society, which often have millions of people, and the large cities with a population of one million in the entire French Empire, except for the imperial capital, are only the Lion City of the Duchy of Berry.

And more importantly, these two cities are not only populous, but the aristocracy of the entire empire is concentrated in these two big cities, and to put it bluntly, there are more rich people. It is no exaggeration to say that these two cities accounted for more than 50% of the consumer market of the entire French Empire, and the imperial capital accounted for more than 30%.

In fact, Storm Castle porcelain has been sold for so long, even if there is no Alpine City to do things, the market of the Principality of Andorra is almost saturated, and if you really want to make huge profits and markets, you still need a super city like the imperial capital. Moreover, if the Storm Trading House wants to become a hegemon of the French Empire and occupy the market to get enough profits, the imperial capital is also a stronghold that must be captured.

Unlike Andorra, a small city with a relatively simple distribution of power, it can be known from Duke's previous memories that the pool of water in the imperial capital can be described as bottomless. From a commercial point of view alone, the entire high-profit industry in the market is basically controlled by a few big families, and other small shops are at most eating some residues.

In terms of porcelain, it was monopolized by the Marquis of Highway and the Earl of Cavendi, and their porcelain was not Duke's own firing of Xibei goods, but the porcelain of the Oriental Cyris Empire that was transported from the Atlantic route for a long distance. It is also because of the monopoly profits brought by porcelain that their two families without dukes have also become the existence of the hegemon of the French Empire.

And in addition to the big families of the country, there are also other imperial trading houses settled in. Over the past few hundred years, the market of the entire Flange Empire has basically been solidified, just like the solidification of the aristocratic class, it is definitely not a simple matter to break this monopoly, and it is impossible to open a storm shop like Andorra City, so Duke plans to go to the imperial capital in person to deal with the business of Storm Castle.

Ji Na listened to Duke say more important things, and said with a puzzled expression: "More important things?

"Of course, I'm going to open a trading house in the imperial capital?"

After hearing Duke's words, Jina's eyes widened even more like jewels, and she said in an incredible tone, "You actually changed your mind just to open a trading house?"

Duke saw Ji Na's surprised look, and replied with a disdainful expression: "Don't use this kind of exclamation tone, isn't opening a trading house lower than entering the martial arts academy?

Now the development of the Storm Merchant House has almost become the first task of the Storm Castle, after all, Duke is really poor! Another point is that the attack of the Holy See army can be regarded as making Duke wake up, his own army of thousands of people is really not even an ant in the eyes of the Holy See, and even the most basic military strength of the Holy See cannot defeat it.

Strength is the foundation of this world, and how strength comes from is smashed from the front! In particular, the construction of Duke's professional army and the exploration of various scientific laboratories require a large amount of money to maintain, and if we want to get rid of the current small pattern, no longer play an inconspicuous small role, and a commercial empire that radiates the continent, we must establish it.

It's just that Gina can't understand Duke's intentions, and she can't imagine that there are still people in this world who want to challenge the ambitions of the Holy See. So in her opinion, Duke can be a good lord and develop Storm Castle, so why go to the imperial capital to run some storm trading house?

"Forget it, you always have a lot of incomprehensible whimsical ideas, I don't care what business house I open, anyway, give me a report to the Martial Arts Academy as soon as possible, this is the opportunity I finally begged for!"

"Got it. Duke replied helplessly, if it weren't for Ji Na's real painstaking sake, he really didn't have the slightest interest in this martial arts academy.

The preparations of the Eleventh Legion were quickly completed, and Prince Edward did not dare to stay too long, and led the rush to the border as soon as possible to prevent a surprise attack by the Milan Empire.

As for Jena, she will also leave with Prince Edward and then transfer to the imperial capital. Due to the presence of Prince Edward, Gina couldn't tell Duke to say anything, but simply said goodbye.

As soon as Prince Edward left, the respectful look on Count Bout's face disappeared in an instant, and he snorted coldly at Duke beside him and turned to leave, with a look of disgust.

Damn! Duke couldn't help but gesture his middle finger towards Count Bute, if it weren't for the fact that he was a noble boss now, he really planned to let the Lord of Marseille teach him what a quality triple is!

"Little one, are you angry now? But with such strength, it's useless to be angry. ”
