That bounty was in the southwest of Youzhou Province. The core region of the bounty was a part of Yangui Mountain Range. In the northeast of the bounty was Miyun Prefecture of Youzhou Province. Three cities in the north of Yangui Mountain Range in Miyun Prefecture were included in this bounty.
Zhang Tie remembered that he had met the head and elders of Li Clan of Miyun Prefecture in White Tiger Complex when he fought for the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province for Zhang Taixuan in Youzhou Province 3 years ago. Li Clan of Miyun Prefecture could only rank below the average among the major clans in Youzhou Province. The entire Li Clan only had 4 black iron knights including the head and elders of Li Clan. Compared to Lu Clan, Gu Clan and Zhang Clan of Huaiyuan Palace which were deeply rooted in Youzhou Province, Li Clan could never match Lu Clan, Gu Clan and Zhang Clan of Huaiyuan Palace which suddenly won the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province.
In the south of this bounty, namely the south of Yangui Mountain Range, it bordered Tongzhou Province. Zhang Tie saw 4 cities in Tongzhou Province which were close to Yangui Mountain Range being included in his bounty.
The northernmost side of the bounty, namely the north end of Yangui Mountain Range, was bordered with Yanzhou Province where the hub of the Northeast Military Region of Taixia Country was located. Four cities in Yanzhou Province were included in Zhang Tie's bounty.
Although Zhang Tie only looked at the map, he knew that those cities might not have a high development level. Additionally, most of the bounty was in the mountainous and wooded areas of Yangui Mountain Range. Therefore, this bounty was almost the largest among all the green regions on the map. Only after a rough look, Zhang Tie had known that the actual area of this bounty was about 1.3 million square miles. Compared to Yanghe Prefecture of Zhang Clan, this bounty was 1/3 larger.
It was a triangular region. Coincidentally, the Zanggu Plateau that Zhang Tie bought in Youzhou Province at a high price was in Youzhou Province in the north of this bounty land. The distance between the two regions was only thousands of miles.
On the territory map of Taixia Country, Zhang Tie could choose over 100 fiefs in total. If Zhang Tie liked prosperity, some provinces and prefectures of his fiefs were definitely much better than Youzhou Province in the northeast military region of Taixia Country. If Zhang Tie was ambitious, he could also choose a fief near the south border of Taixia Country. If Zhang Tie chose a fief in the south border, based on his attainments in Great Wilderness Sutra, Zhang Tie could create another Great Wilderness Sect in the south border of Taixia Country as long as the conditions were ripe. By then, Zhang Tie could conquer hundreds of millions of square miles and become the uncrowned king of the south border of Taixia Country.
When Zhang Tie saw the bounty land close to the south border of Taixia Country, his heart indeed pounded for a short while. However, he soon forgot about the thought of being an overlord. The Great Wilderness Sect had already become a thing of the past. Zhang Tie was not interested in raising this banner which had already been chopped down. He didn't know who the enemy of the Great Wilderness Sect was. It was very risky for him to inherit the legacy of the Great Wilderness Sect in the south border of Taixia Country. Now that those people could exterminate the prosperous Great Wilderness Sect, it would not be too difficult for them to suppress an earth knight at this moment. Cloud Crane had already made it very clear in the letter that it was risky and rewarding to carry the banner of the Great Wilderness Sect. It was meaningless for Zhang Tie to travel in the south border of Taixia Country at this moment.
By contrast, if Zhang Tie chose a place close to Youzhou Province, he could continue to protect his family members in another identity and could meet his family members once in a while and get the news of his family members at any time. Therefore, it was hard for Zhang Tie to refuse. In this way, it meant that the wanted order in Taixia Country had already ceased to exist. Additionally, he could develop his own force in the identity of Cui LI and continue to trace the one who framed him. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Nobody could imagine that Zhang Tie would return to Youzhou Province in such a look after being wanted for 2 years.
When he thought that he might meet his family members again soon, Zhang Tie became faintly thrilled inside.
However, he also knew that it was not the right time for him to return to Youzhou Province. He could at least wait until the large-scale battle in Tiewei Mountain came to an end. This large-scale battle was also a rare opportunity for him.
"This bounty land is located in the southwest of Yangui Mountain Range in Taixia Country. It connects with the three provinces of Northeast Military Region of Taixia Country. The population of this bounty land is 18.76 million. However, the industrial and commercial development of these 10 cities has reached a certain scale. Additionally, the bounty land is rich in products. There are over 70 mineral resources such as iron ore, copper ore, coal ore, silver ore, lead-zinc ore, etc. There are also many rare resources in Yangui Mountain Range. Many places have not been explored. After you officially take over, for the sake of maintaining the order in the bounty land, Taixia Country will only keep taxation and judicial agencies in each city of the bounty land. All the management rights of the other cities will belong to you. You can appoint the managers of the cities and promulgate the private regulations and rules of the bounty land as long as they don't conflict with the Laws of Taixia Country!"
After seeing that Zhang Tie had selected a bounty land, the major general started to explain to Zhang Tie with a solemn look, "Of course, you could also entrust the management right of the cities in your bounty land to the relevant agencies of Northeast Military Region. The management fee would be deducted from the tax of each city. You should pay attention to one thing — — the ownership of private properties and products in your bounty land will remain unchanged after you take over it. Under the protection of the Laws of Taixia Country, you will own the ownership of the properties and assets in your bounty land as well as the corresponding jurisdiction and disposal right of the imperial court and the officials of Taixia Country!"
"There are other people's private properties in the bounty land?"
"Of course, as long as there are people, there will be private properties. The ownership of these private properties and products is mainly concentrated in the fixed assets in the 10 cities, such as private houses and shops, which are the personal properties of the residents in the 10 cities. The private properties and products outside the 10 cities are mainly concentrated in villages and arable lands. Some of them are privately mined mines. Generally speaking, as the 10 cities were built by the officials of Taixia Country, over 60% of the land and houses in the 10 cities have been transferred and sold over these years. Over 99% of the land outside the 10 cities belong to you. At least half of the mines belong to you. There are detailed files and documents in these cities and the Northeast Military Region. These files and records will also be handed over to you!"
"How?"
"After you've completed the relevant procedures here, you'll need to take the authorization documents and proof. Whenever you're in the territory of the Northeast Military Region, you just have to show your identity or get in touch with the officials. The people from the Northeast Military Region's Department of Agriculture will handle the relevant procedures and documents for your private fiefdom! After that, we will notice the Land Resources Department of Northeast Military Region. From today on, before you go through the formalities for your private bounty land officially, the property rights of all the official real estates and products in this bounty land will be frozen. "
'I've not imagined that Taixia Country is so considerate. 'After understanding this, Cui LI grinned, "Haha, let's do it then. This Cui LI will choose this bounty land as my private bounty land!"
"According to the rules of private bounty land, as this bounty land is composed of the territories in different administrative regions of the three provinces of Taixia Country, it didn't have a unified name before. Therefore, you can name this bounty land. From then on, the name that you name this bounty land will become the official name of this bounty land in official documents!"
Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he felt it was very interesting, "What's the point of naming it?"
"As for the private bounty land that was granted with meritorious deeds, no matter how big or small it is, it should be named" Ling ". It's a symbol of honor in Taixia Country. It indicates that this bounty land is not bought but earned with meritorious deeds!"
Touching his head, Zhang Tie said, "Let's call this bounty land Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory!"
"Are you sure?"
"Let's call it Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory!" Zhang Tie said decisively.
"Fine!"
...
Half an hour later, an official document with some big red seals and the corresponding certificates had been prepared for Zhang Tie.
After taking these documents, Zhang Tie teleported them into Castle of Black Iron. Even when he left the high tower, he still felt a bit thrilled.
Only after a short while, when Zhang Tie reappeared, all the knights in Black Armor Battlefortress had an awe-inspiring look at him.
...
2 days later, a grim and vivid specimen of shadow demon appeared in the Black Armor Battlefortress.
On the same day, Zhang Tie left Black Armor Battlefortress and disappeared in the dense black mist of Tiewei Mountain...
