Chapter 104: Territorial Expansion

Although Feng Xuanzhang said that what is the instrument displayed in the Imperial Academy, your name will remain in the annals of history forever, but Jiang Xingchen is very reluctant to give him the instrument.

Not to mention anything else, at least when the little girl wants to listen to songs in the future, she can coax her. If you take it, I'll have to do it again for a while.

However, thinking that he wanted to return to the territory in the first place, thanks to the credit of the Imperial Academy, he hesitated again and again, but reluctantly nodded and agreed, and when the performance of the past few days was over, he would give the guzheng and the transverse flute to the Imperial Academy.

Feng Xuanzhang was also relieved when he saw Jiang Xingchen agree, he had heard this kid's stubborn temper from the marshal. Moreover, he can't say that the emperor wants it, otherwise he will leave the impression that the emperor is incompetent.

Telling Jiang Xingchen that they were waiting for news here, Feng Xuanzhang was about to turn around and leave with a smile on his face.

But before he could leave, Wanrou suddenly called out to him again, took out a white silk from her arms, and handed it over.

"Lord Dean, this is the score of Xiaoao Jianghu, you can take a look!" Wanrou explained when Feng Xuanzhang took the white silk.

"Oh!" Feng Xuanzhang did not doubt him, and reached out to take it.

Opening the white silk, Feng Xuanzhang glanced at it, his eyes suddenly widened, and he let out a surprised exclamation: "Huh?"

Immediately after, he took a serious look. As the dean of Imperial College, Dean Feng is a well-known all-rounder, dabbling in all walks of life, and his attainments in dance and music are also extremely profound.

"This is a brand-new form of composing, called staves, which was proposed by Jiang Xingchen and perfected by me and several judges from the Hongyuan City Imperial Academy!" Wanrou explained.

"Good! Simple, intuitive. It's quite clear, and the high and low bass can be seen almost at a glance. The scale changes ......" Feng Xuanzhang nodded again and again, happy in his heart. is also sighing: "It's him again, how come things that others can't think of in their lifetime, when they come to him, they just want money to go out." ”

This time he didn't stop, and hurriedly turned around and returned to the box on the second floor......

In the hall of the venue, the old man crossed Erlang's legs for a long time, and asked the Dingbei Hou beside him while chattering.

"How about it, I've been in the imperial capital for so long, it's all done, right?" The old man noticed his current wording. It is becoming more and more similar to Jiang Xingchen.

When Beihou listened, he didn't feel the slightest discomfort, nodded and smiled: "The old marquis has already nodded...... I just don't know when the Great Emperor is going to give Jiang Xingchen a promotion?"

"It is said that today Jiang Xingchen won the highest award and made two brand new musical instruments, which is the best opportunity!" Dingbei Hou had some expectations, if he announced the reward to expand the territory in public, it would definitely shock the audience.

"How did you convince that old money fan?" asked the old man curiously.

"Hey...... This is really not easy to explain clearly!" Dingbei Hou smiled. did not give an answer, and his eyes stayed on the old man's placket.

"The soul is faint, and you still want to beat me up for the idea of drinking, no way...... Ancestor, do I rarely know!" the muscles on the old man's face trembled twice. glared at Dingbeihou fiercely, stretched out his hand and pressed the placket, looking like a lady who had met a bad guy. Then he turned his head and pretended not to hear, and ignored it.

"Uh!" Dingbei Hou originally wanted to get some wine from the old man. I didn't expect the old man to ignore it.

When Jiang Xingchen made this wine yesterday, he couldn't put it down. But where can he rob the old man, he was robbed of it all after just drinking a little, and the stage couldn't be moved.

Just as Dingbei Hou continued to ponder how to get some wine from the old man, Feng Xuanzhang also returned to the box on the second floor.

As the dean of the Imperial Academy, he was the judge of the Spring Festival song and dance pre-selection, and finally won the grand prize, of course, he should have proposed it.

"The Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe not only won the Grand Award, but also invented two brand-new musical instruments, and just now gave me a new way of composing music, which can be described as a major contribution to the entertainment life of the people of the empire...... Jiang Xingchen, in particular, played an important role......"

At this time, Mr. Huang Shi suddenly said: "If you want to say that this Jiang Xingchen, it's really amazing, he teamed up with Old Man Tang to overcome the terminal illness of abdominal pain in the previous paragraph, I thought he specialized in medical skills, who would have thought that he would have such achievements in dance and music!"

"Oh?" Emperor Qiankun looked surprised, turned around and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"The previous period was in the experimental stage, so I didn't mention it to the emperor, but now several cases have improved, and there is no problem at all!"

Yuan Xixuan felt a burst of disdain in his heart when he heard this: "I'm going, can you still play a little more fake, the matter of overcoming a terminal illness has been spread all over the medical world, will you Huangshi report to the emperor...... Didn't you just want to give Jiang Xingchen a reward, as for that!"

Snorted secretly, he didn't say anything against it, if Jiang Xingchen just won the award, he still had a word, the award-winning song and dance troupe in previous years, if it was a low-level nobleman, it could still be promoted to one level, but there was no precedent for the title to be upgraded by one level. Even if there were, it was canonized by the Great Lord after returning to their respective territories.

But now, with the award and the new instrument, and a new way of composing music, and a contribution to overcoming a terminal illness, even if he had just been promoted to a third-class baron, he had no reason to refuse.

If his son did so many things, he would try to give his son two levels in a row.

However, then he found that something was wrong, things were not at all as he thought, it was as simple as just giving Jiang Xingchen a promotion.

As soon as Huang Shi's voice fell, the marshal spoke again: "Emperor, Jiang Xingchen's contribution is more than that...... The Seventh Legion captured Pingjun City because of him!"

When the emperor heard this, he laughed: "I know this, if you really talk about it, you really treat him a little badly! Even Tang Chuxue, who recommended him, was promoted to the second-class marquis, and the entire Seventh Legion was rewarded by the whole army, but it turned out that he didn't have anything to do with him, a great hero!"

"Great Emperor! It's not a disadvantage, after all, the war has just passed, and Jiang Xingchen has a weak foundation, if he is rewarded, I am afraid that the hatred of Xuanyuan Tianzong will gather on him, which is also a last resort protection measure...... But now, we have signed a contract with Xuanyuan Tianzong. There should be nothing to do, so it's better to take advantage of the opportunity of the singing and dancing awards. It's all rewarded!"

"I'm the next Olympics!" Yuan Xixuan almost didn't scold, he was still strange at the beginning. Why did Tang Chuxue mention a second-class marquis after a recommendation, which is not scientific at all.

But at that time, many people agreed, and he didn't want to offend people, after all, the Tang family had a lot of power in the empire, so he agreed.

Which Cheng thought, the emperor is waiting here, no matter ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, the earth is still another world. Power is a pyramid, the higher you go, the fewer people there are, but imagine how difficult it is for a marquis to be promoted.

Now that Tang Chuxue has mentioned it, what about Jiang Xingchen, who has more credit.

Yuan Xixuan's sweat has come down, and he really can't figure out what kind of reward the emperor wants to give Jiang Xingchen, so he can accumulate so much credit.

"With so much merit accumulated, it's enough to be promoted directly from a third-class baron to a viscount!" the Chancellor of the Exchequer suddenly said.

"I'll go~" Yuan Xixuan's body shook, so that a mouthful of old blood sprayed onto the ceiling. Raise a large level. You are too old and immortal to think about it, you didn't have it when the first generation of Qiankun Emperor founded the country.

"Hmm!" the marshal looked pensive, nodded and said, "I think the old marquis is reasonable!"

"Oh, you guys are the hell of a heart, right!" Yuan Xixuan couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly said loudly: "Absolutely not!"

"Huh!" as if waiting for him to speak. Everyone's eyes were focused on him at once.

"Jiang Xingchen has indeed made a lot of contributions, but the meritorious contributions of the founding of the country at the beginning are not great, and there has never been a promotion to a major level...... If that's how he was rewarded. It will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of all the nobles!" Yuan Xixuan said righteously.

"Hehe!" the Emperor smiled and asked, "You are the chief official of the aristocratic administration. Then you talk about it, it should be given to Jiang Xingchen. What a reward for the Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe!"

"This ...... You can give them a second level......" Although he said this, Yuan Xixuan himself felt unconfident. People have accumulated so many contributions, and in the end they only mentioned one level, and the nobles will not agree to it.

The Great Emperor frowned, obviously extremely dissatisfied with this answer, and said lightly: "In this way, I heard that Jiang Xingchen's Qingshan Village is barren and has too little arable land...... Expand his territory five miles eastward!"

"What?" Yuan Xixuan's eyes widened, and only then did he understand the true intention of the Great Emperor, the promotion of the Viscount that he had said earlier was to fool himself, and expanding the territory to Jiang Xingchen was the goal.

"No! absolutely not!" Yuan Xixuan was so anxious that he forgot even his respect for the emperor.

"Hmm!" It wasn't until the Great Emperor frowned that he came to his senses, hurriedly bowed down, and said, "Great Emperor!

"Isn't it a major contribution to overcome a terminal illness?" asked Huang Shi with a cold face.

"Of course, if it can be promoted, of course, but I heard that the cost of treatment alone will cost more than 100,000 or 200,000 citrine coins, who can afford it!" Yuan Xixuan retorted loudly, as if he had been prepared for a long time.

Huang Shi frowned and didn't answer, what Yuan Xixuan said was the truth, and now this surgical method really can't be promoted.

"What about the capture of Pingjun City, it was nothing more than that!" asked the marshal.

"Although Jiang Xingchen has a lot of credit for the capture of Pingjun City, it is mainly due to the lives of the soldiers of the Seventh Legion, and it is not his credit alone!" Yuan Xixuan's mentality gradually stabilized, and the reason for the refutation blurted out.

"Hey!" Feng Xuanzhang sighed secretly, and scolded in his heart: "If it weren't for the fear that those old immortals in the aristocratic management department would commit suicide in the palace, the emperor would be so accustomed to you! Conquering the terminal illness and capturing Pingjun City is definitely enough to expand the fiefdom!"

Yuan Xixuan's gaze swept over a few people, and continued: "Although Jiang Xingchen has made a lot of contributions, if you talk about expanding the territory, it is still worse, and it is really difficult to convince the public!"

The Emperor's eyes narrowed, and he smiled faintly as he looked at the Chancellor.

The old lord nodded, took out the white silk from his arms, threw it in front of Yuan Xixuan, and said: "This is a brand-new financial management method designed by Jiang Xingchen, and the efficiency is several times higher than before!"

In an instant, the marshal, Huang Shi, and Feng Xuanzhang all looked at the Chancellor of the Exchequer in surprise, they didn't know that there was such a play before.

"Old lord, are you sure?" the Emperor asked.

"There is no problem at all, not only is it fast, but it is also accurate, and the efficiency is definitely more than three times better!" said the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

"Okay!" The emperor didn't ask Yuan Xixuan at all this time, and directly ordered: "Feng Xuanzhang, immediately reward, Jiang Xingchen will be promoted to a second-class baron, and the territory will be expanded to the east by five miles!

"Yes!" Feng Xuanzhang bowed in response, turned around and walked out of the box! Three great credits in a row, especially the last one, have a far-reaching impact, and no one can find any fault.

While walking out, Feng Xuanzhang still smiled and said secretly: "Look at you old stubborns, do you dare to go to the palace hall to hit the pillars this time!"

At this time, Yuan Xixuan looked at Bai Juan stupidly in a daze. On the white silk, Arabic numerals were written, and there was a table with dates, income, expenses, and balances......

He knew that this time it was really unstoppable, this was by no means fake, it was too intuitive! There were even explanations and comparisons...... The impact of a new approach to financial management is too great!

"This soul is faint, why are there so many things in my head!" Yuan Xixuan wanted to cry without tears, and howled silently! (To be continued......)
