"Uncle Xuexing, what you said is wrong. The Black Steel City is indeed very important to the Empire, but it's not just a Black Steel City that provides minerals to the Empire? His father has already entrusted the Black Steel City to Bai Song, now you say this, do you want to put your father in an unrighteous place?"
Aside, Xue Qinghe stood up.
"Qinghe, as the prince, you must consider the empire, and your majesty, as the emperor, must also consider the empire. Although this matter is small, it has far-reaching impact. You must not start this!"
Hearing Xue Qinghe's words, Prince Xue Xing sophisticated.
"Started? Haha, but if you really do this, where does the prestige of the father and the emperor belong? According to you, many of the emperor and uncle's fiefdoms should also come back. After all, they also have fiefdoms. There are many cities that are important to the empire. I remember that there is a gray iron ridge in your fief of Emperor Xuexing. Two years ago, it was discovered that an important soul-guiding material, dark iron ore, existed. Dark iron ore is very important to the empire. Please also Uncle Emperor will return Grey Tieling to the Empire!"
Xue Qinghe sneered.
"This……"
Prince Xue Xing wanted to say something, but the Great Emperor Xue Ye suddenly said, "Okay, don't say it anymore. Since I have sealed the Black Steel City out, it won't change anymore, Xue Xing, don't say it anymore. Up."
Seeing that Xue Qinghe was about to quarrel with Prince Xue Xing, for the royal family's face, Emperor Xue Ye stopped in time.
Although things did not develop as he imagined, Bai Ge owed Prince Xue Qinghe's favor, and the result was not a loss.
"...Yes, Brother Huang."
Hearing the words of Emperor Xue Ye, Prince Xue Xing died obediently.
Originally, he knew that he would not succeed in this stubborn mess. Bai Ge has great potential, great influence and great background. It is impossible for him, a shrewd emperor brother, to offend Bai Ge with such worthless little things. Just to add some blockage to Bai Ge.
Brother Xueye, who is so shrewd, will definitely not give up this opportunity. He will definitely use his savage entanglement to finally appear as a good person to collect Baige's heart, but he did not expect to let Xue Qinghe pick up the bargain. It made Prince Xue Xing a little depressed.
...
After the nominating ceremony was over, Bai Ge successfully obtained the fief Heigang City, and became the lord of Heigang City and the towns radiated by Heigang City. Ning Rongrong, Meng Weilian, Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling They also got their own award documents.
Heigang City plus the fief of four women, so that the five cities are connected together, basically including the entire border county of Fanos province. To some extent, Bai Ge is the lord of the border county of Fanos province. .
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness."
After the nominating ceremony, Bai Ge found Xueqinghe to thank him.
"No thanks, it's just a matter of effort, but my emperor uncle has always been a caregiver. You have offended him before, and he probably won't let it go. You really don't need my help?"
Xue Qinghe shook his head, while speaking, once again looked at Bai Ge with scorching eyes.
"No, I'm going to leave and go to the fief right away, shouldn't he still follow me to find fault in my fief?"
Bai Ge wiped his sweat.
Of course he understands the hidden meaning in Xue Qinghe’s words. The prince dare to love the prince has not given up soliciting him, but in Bai Ge's opinion, Prince Xue Xing can only disgust him on this, and dare to play really see him not being correct. Kill him, let's say nothing else, let Meng Shu beat Prince Xue Xing every day, Prince Xue Xing dare not let go, but he doesn't bother to care about it now, and there will be opportunities to clean up in the future.
"Are you ready to return to your fief so soon? Are you ready? Being a lord is not as simple as being a spirit master."
Xue Qinghe cared about it.
"It's ready, thank you for your concern."
Bai Ge smiled.
"Oh! I almost forgot. You are not an ordinary person. The Dragon Snake family, the Bilin family and the Jiuxin Begonia family are now under your command. You should not lack talents."
Xue Qinghe shook his head a little funny.
"But if you have something to do, you can still write to me. As long as I can do it, even if there are thousands of miles away, I will definitely come to help you."
Xue Qinghe solemnly said.
"I see. Thank you for your concern."
Bai Ge nodded.
...
As soon as they left the Royal Hunting Grounds, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang chased them. Looking at Bai Ge, Huo Wu was a little embarrassed and said: "Um, Bai Ge, I'm sorry, we didn't say anything just now."
"It's okay, I can understand this."
Bai Ge smiled indifferently.
Xue Qinghe had always wanted to recruit him, and he was willing to stand up for him as expected, and Xue Qinghe also had the identity and status to argue with Prince Xue Xing, but Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu were different.
Although the two were genius soul masters, after all, their status was too different from that of Prince Xue Xing. No matter if they were afraid or incapable, Bai Ge could understand.
Moreover, Bai Ge could see the purpose of Prince Xue Xing, but it was just adding a blockage to him. Even if Xue Qinghe did not help him, Emperor Xue Ye would not say that he would not seal Black Steel City to him. He would definitely not explain to Ning Fengzhi.
The reason why the Great Emperor Xue Ye stopped Prince Xue Xing so late was just to sell his affection through comparison, and Bai Ge would not even lose sight of this.
Bringing Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang and walked towards the direction of Heaven Dou Imperial City, on the way, Bai Ge chatted about the development plan of the fief, bluffing Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang.
For the construction of fiefdoms, Baige has various means ranging from technology to economy.
How to develop business through science and technology, and then drive the economy, improve the living standards and income of the civilians in the fief, and the increase in civilian income can increase taxation, and ultimately benefit the lord Baige, and Baige can invest money in the fief with money Development, going back and forth in this way, and finally realizing the prosperity of the fief, is far from comparable to how Douluo Continent still collects taxes.
On the Douluo Continent, the main source of income for the noble lords still came from the exploitation of the resources in the fief and the collection of taxes from the commoners of the fief. There were also some lords who would purchase their own industries, but few of them could develop and grow.
After all, just mining the resources in the territory and levying taxes is enough for them to spend a lot of life on their lives. Buying a property is just a small head, and they will not be able to develop it.
If a fief, the maximum benefit that the lord can get is 1, this benefit includes resource extraction and tax collection, then the vast majority of lords on the Douluo Continent still know how to get as much as possible from this 1. But what Bai Ge thinks is how to turn this 1 into 2, 3, 4... or even 10!
This is the fundamental difference!
Saying goodbye to Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, Bai Ge returned to the castle.
A few days ago, Bai Ge asked Meng Shu, Su Moshan, and Dugu Bo to start mobilizing talents in the family. Now that the fief is confirmed, Bai Ge is going to leave tomorrow.
Of course, Baige is not ready to go to Heigang City immediately. In fact, Baige is only going to be a resource mining site for Heigang City. What Baige really wants to build is a city from nothing, a new one. City, if you want to overthrow an already formed city, it is better to rebuild one.
The reason why Bai Ge left in such a hurry was that he still wanted to go back to Notting City, or Holy Soul Village, in Bien County. You must know that for grandpa Jack, Bai Ge hadn't seen him for a year.
