To return to the territory surprisingly smoothly, the two contributions of the Imperial Academy and the Military Department are there, and the aristocratic management department is very happy.

If the Marquis of Dingbei gave back the recovered territory, it would be considered a problem for the management department. Now that people have a lot of credit, they want it, of course they will think that it's just that Jiang Xingchen misses his hometown.

Holding the contract of the territory in his hand, Jiang Xingchen was very happy, not only because he had fulfilled his promise to the little girl, but also for the sake of future development, in his own territory, everything was up to him, and he could completely let go of his hands and feet.

Soon, though, he calmed down again. The development of the territory is secondary, and now the most important thing is the little girl's illness, and the medicinal materials are okay, he can buy more and bring them back, but what about the doctor, in case the little girl's illness attacks...... You can't ask Zhao Danqing's father to go back with him.

"Where can I find a high-level doctor...... Why don't you go back first...... No, the little girl has been looking forward to it for a long time!" Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but feel worried.

After a long time, Jiang Xingchen made a decision: "Recruitment! Recruit people at a high price, the development of the territory can be slowed down, but the little girl's body must be guaranteed!"

After returning home, Mei'er's little face bloomed with a smile, and she didn't let go of the contract until she held it, and her mouth kept chattering.

"Brother, we have a small territory, so we don't need to hire someone to take care of it, I can help you...... By the way, you can save a lot of money by not having a hundred private soldiers, and we don't have that much food...... Also, the villagers' houses need to be repaired for them......"

"Huh?" Jiang Xingchen was surprised: "Can there still be private soldiers?"

"Yes, this is the lord's prerogative, brother doesn't know...... I forgot, my family was not wealthy before, my uncle didn't even look for subordinates, and he didn't have private soldiers! At that time, my brother practiced all day, of course I didn't know about these things!" the little girl stuck out her tongue.

"The private soldier is good, you have to ask for it!" Jiang Xingchen said secretly in his heart. Being in the other world, he was already careful, Tang Chuxue and Dingbei Hou thought of it, how could he not think of it.

The excited little girl seemed to be clockwork, pulled Jiang Xingchen and said that it was late, and then jumped up and down to cook, saying that she would not let her brother do anything.

When night fell, Jiang Xingchen found people from the army and the Imperial Academy to pull away the hundred drums. He didn't dare to do this during the day, if people saw it, he wouldn't want to have a peaceful birthday, and now I don't know how many people are staring at him to perform again.

The Commanders of the Seven Legions took people back after the doctors finished their studies, they had been in Hongyuan City for a long time, and they couldn't go back to the garrison for a long time, so only the quartermaster was left here.

To Jiang Xingchen's regret, the demon beast was not found. After all, the depths of the vast mountains are too dangerous, and there are not many mercenary groups that dare to go, and even if they hunt demon beasts, they are generally sent to the imperial capital for sale.

Everything was done, and after recovering 30,000 citrine coins from the Imperial Academy, Jiang Xingchen let out a long sigh: "It's finally relaxed!" The fatigue of the past few days hit, and he was about to fall asleep.

However, Mei'er was so excited that she couldn't sleep, these days wave after wave of surprises, like waves hitting her body and mind, until today to get back the territory contract, her emotions are even more excited to the peak, and she wants to stick to her brother to talk.

As a result, Jiang Xingchen was just about to fall asleep, when he felt a cold wind blow into his ears, and then the little girl kept chattering!

Jiang Xingchen was too sleepy, how could he still have the heart to listen to what Mei'er said, there was a sentence without a word, and he would fall asleep again. But the little girl didn't let him sleep, and blew into his ears......

After several times in a row, Jiang Xingchen's sleepiness disappeared, and he wailed in his heart: "In the middle of the night, why are you convulsive again~"

In a fit of rage, Jiang Xingchen got up and hugged Mei'er to his lap, raised his hand and slapped her little buttocks a few times.

Now it was finally quiet, the little girl didn't dare to tease her brother anymore, the quilt covered her head, her little face was hot, but there was a shy smile at the corner of her mouth......

After the turn of the day, Jiang Xingchen left home early in the morning and was about to return to the territory, and there were many things to prepare. The first thing is to find Mo Hongxian and Wanrou, and ask them to help release the news and hire a famous doctor with a high salary. Secondly, I have to find the Zhao family and prepare as many medicines as possible for Mei'er. zuihou, he came to the Dingbei Hou Mansion and asked the Dingbei Hou to help find a guard.

Whether it is Mo Hongxian or Wanrou, they all hope that Jiang Xingchen can stay in Hongyuan City, launch new dishes, and need him for singing and dancing performances. Especially Wanrou, after all, the two of them are going to the imperial capital in March, so why don't you practice more and cooperate more.

Jiang Xingchen smiled and said that he would come back more in the future, but his attitude towards leaving was very resolute. Mo Hongxian and Wanrou's persuasion was fruitless, so they had to give up.

In the next few days, Jiang Xingchen began to buy some supplies, in the winter, a remote village, if there is not enough food, charcoal and other things, how to get by. The things at home have long been sold out.

And just when Jiang Xingchen and Mei'er were making a big purchase, the influence of the big drum was officially launched in the imperial capital.

In the Imperial Academy in the imperial capital, dozens of middle-aged people were looking at the big drum that had been rushed over from Hongyuan City.

"Is this what kind of big drum is this, it's like a broken wooden pier, such a broken thing is a thousand citrine coins, is the head of the dean of your Hongyuan City sitting on the pig? You are wasting imperial resources, it is a crime!"

A middle-aged man with a proud look loudly scolded one of the judges during the song and dance pre-selection in Hongyuan City, if you don't explain the reason, I will never stop.

"That's it, I don't believe that this thing can play any beautiful music! It's ridiculous that you should give an unprecedented evaluation!" another middle-aged man also said, his tone extremely dissatisfied.

"Not only that, but you actually ask for credit for that Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe...... I really don't know why the dean believed your demagogy and promised you!"

"Men should be committed to writing and performing on stage, and I think it's ridiculous to think about it......"

"Hmph, the instrument has arrived today, and if it weren't like what you said, the dean wouldn't be able to explain it to the aristocratic administration......"

"I can't say that, we all know the level of the Hongyuan City Branch, it's impossible for them to talk about it!"

"The instrument doesn't have to look good, it's the main thing to be liked......"

Dozens of people began to discuss one after another, some scoffed, and some gave affirmation! On the whole, however, there were still many people who opposed it.

Behind everyone, a middle-aged man with an elegant atmosphere quietly watched everyone arguing, and said to a kind-looking old man beside him: "Dean, this thing doesn't look like a good musical instrument, why did you agree to Hongyuan City's request! If this thing can't be promoted, it will have an impact on you!"

The kind old man smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, if I'm not sure, I won't believe Hongyuan City's evaluation!"

"Oh!" the elegant middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Dean, you are ......"

"Hehe! The New Year song and dance pre-selection is such an important matter, how can I rest assured that I can completely let it go...... I've already heard a report on that performance in Hongyuan City, and it's a quick eagle letter!"

Speaking of this, the old man's expression was a little excited, and he said softly: "I really want to see the situation described in the report!"

"Is it really as Hongyuan City judges said, there are no ancients?" The elegant middle-aged man also brought out a strong interest.

"Listen to it first!" the old man did not answer directly, but pointed in front of him, where one of the judges of Hongyuan City had already picked up the drumstick and was ready to play.

Looking at the various disdainful expressions below, the judge sneered in his heart: "If you don't believe it, then let the facts prove it!"

At this time, he also held his breath in his heart, not only because of the scolding and cynicism of so many people, but also because a haode musical instrument was not valued!

Taking a deep breath, the judges raised their arms and the drumsticks fell.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock...... "He played the prelude to Jiang Xingchen's "Men Should Be Self-Reliant"....... Although he can't memorize the entire piece, he has many years of experience in music, and his grasp of the rhythm is extremely accurate.

As soon as the drums sounded, the entire hall shook, and some of the students of the Imperial Academy who passed by outside this hall were startled, thinking that there was an earthquake.

Immediately afterward, the strong rhythm attracted everyone's hearing, leading them to lean over involuntarily.

At this time, in the hall, except for the sound of drums, everyone had long since lost their words, and a voice appeared in their hearts at the same time: "Such a strong rhythm, it actually shook people's hearts and blood!"

The judges could only tap from memory, but he didn't sing, his voice couldn't reach the penetrating power of Jiang Xingchen, for fear that the snake would add to it, but it would affect the rhythm of the big drum!

As the drumbeat continued, many people couldn't help but move their bodies, even some of the previous opponents. The students outside even fell their heads together.

However, the drumming did not last long, and then it came suddenly! Everyone was suspended in the air in one breath, and they did not slow down for a long time.

"How?" asked the dean of Zuihou Fang with a smile.

"Ahem...... "Ahem" The elegant middle-aged man coughed a series of coughs, and it took a long time for him to let out a sigh of relief, and said with a shocked face: "Unparalleled rhythm! This instrument is excellent!"

As soon as his words fell, the judge of Hongyuan City spoke in front of him: "With my memory, I can only perform to this extent! If you add Jiang Xingchen's singing, as well as Xie Wanrou's amazing encouragement, this track is definitely unprecedented!"

All the doubts are gone, and it turns out that this is indeed a good instrument, that track...... In an instant, everyone was looking forward to the New Year song and dance performance.

"I really want to see right away, what kind of shock the complete repertoire will bring!" muttered the elegant middle-aged man.

Dean Haha smiled and said loudly, "Immediately according to the rhythm of the big drum, write a song and dance, which can be performed by men." And then spread the word about this new instrument and new method!"

The dean spoke, of course everyone did not dare to disobey, watching the previous disdainful gaze turn into envy, the judge suddenly felt raised his eyebrows, and his whole body was as comfortable as when he was massaged by more than a dozen beauties for three months.

Outside the hall, the students also spread.

"The new musical instrument is rated as unprecedented, and the rhythm is simply shocking...... "For a while, more people set their sights on the New Year song and dance performance

In the following days, the figure of the big drum appeared in the major performance venues of the imperial capital. The extremely strong rhythm and shocking sound quickly attracted everyone's attention, and the drum instrument was officially promoted!
