"Uncle Snow Star Emperor, what you said is not right, Black Steel City is indeed very important to the Empire, but it is not just a Black Steel City that provides minerals for the Empire, right? Father Emperor has already divided Black Steel City to Bai Ge, now that you say this, do you want to put your father in an unrighteous place? ”

On the side, Xue Qinghe stood up.

"Qinghe, as the crown prince, you have to think about the empire, Your Majesty, as the emperor, you have to think about the empire, although this matter is small, but the impact is far-reaching, you must not start this way!"

Hearing Xue Qinghe's words, Prince Xuexing quibbled.

"The beginning? Hehe, but if he really did this, where would the prestige of his father be? According to what you said, many of the emperor's fiefs should also come back, after all, there are many cities in their fiefs that are very important to the empire, I remember that there is a gray iron ridge in your fief of Uncle Xuexing, two years ago, it was discovered that there is an important soul guide material dark iron ore, dark iron ore is very important to the empire, and please ask the imperial uncle to return the gray iron ridge to the empire! ”

Xue Qinghe sneered.

"This ......"

Prince Xuexing wanted to say something, but the Snow Night Emperor suddenly spoke: "Okay, don't say it again, since I have sealed the Black Steel City, it will not be changed again, Xuexing, you don't say it anymore." ”

Seeing that Xue Qinghe was about to quarrel with Prince Xuexing, for the sake of the royal family's face, the Snow Night Emperor stopped in time.

Although things did not develop as he imagined, Bai Ge owed the prince Xue Qinghe a favor, and the result was not a loss.

"..... yes, Brother Emperor."

Hearing the words of the Snow Night Emperor, Prince Snow Star still obediently died down.

Originally, he knew that he would definitely not succeed in messing around this time, Bai Ge had great potential, great power, and great background, and it was impossible for him, a shrewd imperial brother, to offend Bai Ge on such a worthless trivial matter, he was just trying to add some blockage to Bai Ge this time.

The imperial brother Xue Ye is so shrewd, he must definitely not give up this opportunity, and he will definitely take advantage of his nonsense to finally appear as a good old man to collect Bai Ge's heart, but he didn't expect to let Xue Qinghe pick up the cheap, which made Prince Xuexing a little depressed.

……

After the knighthood ceremony was over, and the conferral document was accepted, Bai Ge successfully obtained the fiefdom of Black Steel City and became the lord of Black Steel City and the towns in the area radiated by Black Steel City, while Ning Rongrong, Meng Yi, Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling also each got their own conferral documents.

Black Steel City plus the fiefdom of the four women, so that the five cities are connected together, basically including the border counties of the entire Fanos Province, to a certain extent, Bai Ge is the lord of the border counties of the Fanos Province.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince."

After the knighthood ceremony, Bai Ge found Xue Qinghe Xie.

"No thanks, it's just a gesture, but my imperial uncle has always been a calculating person, you offended him before, I'm afraid he won't give up, you really don't need my help?"

Xue Qinghe shook his head, and as he spoke, he looked at Bai Ge with burning eyes again.

"No need, I'm going to leave for the fief right away, he shouldn't follow me to my fief to find fault, right?"

Bai Ge wiped his sweat.

Of course, he understood the hidden meaning of Xue Qinghe's words, and dared to love His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not given up recruiting him, but in Bai Ge's opinion, Prince Xuexing could only disgust him on this, and dare to play to really see that he didn't kill him, not to mention anything else, let Meng Shu beat Prince Xuexing every day, Prince Xuexing didn't dare to let go of his fart, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it now, and there was a chance to clean it up in the future.

"You're ready to go back to the fiefdom so soon? Are you ready, being a lord is not as simple as being a soul master? ”

Xue Qinghe said with concern.

"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 Bibi Family, and the Nine Heart Begonia Family are all under your command now, and there should be no shortage of talents under your command. ”

Xue Qinghe shook his head a little amusedly.

"But if you have something, you can still write to me, as long as I can do it, even if it is thousands of miles away, I will definitely come to help you."

Xue Qinghe said solemnly.

"I see, thank you for your concern."

Bai Ge nodded.

……

As soon as they got out of the royal hunting ground, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang chased after them, looking at Bai Ge, Huo Wu said a little embarrassedly: "That, Bai Ge, I'm sorry, we didn't talk just now." ”

"It's okay, I can understand this."

Bai Ge smiled indifferently.

Xue Qinghe has always wanted to recruit him, and it is expected that he is willing to stand up for him, and Xue Qinghe also has the identity and status to reason with Prince Xuexing, but Huo Wushuang and Fire Dance are different.

Although the two of them are genius soul masters, after all, the difference between their status and Prince Xuexing is too big, whether they don't dare, or they don't have the ability, Bai Ge can understand it.

And for Prince Xuexing's purpose, Bai Ge can also see it, it's just to block him, even if Xue Qinghe doesn't stand up for him, the Snow Night Emperor won't say that he won't seal the Black Steel City to him, which he will definitely not be able to explain to Ning Fengzhi.

The reason why the Snow Night Emperor stopped Prince Xuexing so late was just to sell favors through comparison, and Bai Ge couldn't see this thing clearly.

Walking in the direction of the Heaven Dou Imperial City with Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, on the way, Bai Ge chatted about the development plan of the fiefdom, bluffing Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang into a daze.

For the construction of the fiefdom, Bai Ge has various means from science and technology to economy.

How to develop commerce through science and technology, and then drive the economy, improve the living standards and income of the commoners in the fiefdom, and the increase in the income of the commoners can increase taxes, and finally let Bai Ge, the lord, benefit, and Bai Ge can invest money in the development of the fiefdom if he has money, so back and forth, and finally realize the prosperity of the fiefdom, but it is far from being comparable to how to collect taxes in Douluo Continent.

On the Douluo Continent, the main source of income for the noble lords still comes from exploiting the resources in the fief and collecting taxes from the commoners of the fief, and there are also some lords who will buy their own industries, but few can develop and grow.

After all, just mining the resources in the territory and collecting taxes is enough for them to live lavishly, and the purchase of industries is only a small head, and they will not develop it.

If it is said that the maximum benefit that a lord can get from a fief is 1, and this income includes mining resources and collecting taxes, then the vast majority of lords on the Douluo Continent still have a perception of how to get as much as possible from this 1, while Bai Ge is thinking about how to turn this 1 into 2, 3, 4..... or even 10!

That's the fundamental difference!

Bidding farewell to Fire Musou and Fire Dance, 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, and now that the fiefdom has been determined, Bai Ge is ready to leave tomorrow.

Of course, Bai Ge is not preparing to go to Black Steel City immediately, in fact, for Black Steel City, Bai Ge is just preparing to use it as a resource mining point, what Bai Ge really wants to build is a city from scratch, a new city, if you want to overthrow a city that has already been formed, it is better to build a new one.

The reason why Bai Ge was in such a hurry to leave was that he still wanted to go back to Notting City in the border county, or Holy Soul Village, you must know that for his grandfather Old Jack, Bai Ge hadn't seen him for a year.
