Ouyang Rong looked at Li Xian's sincere expression, and Wei Mei who was smiling with her lips pursed and had no objection.

He thought for a moment, nodded, and muttered:

"That's okay. In this case, with the prince taking the lead, we should be able to attract a lot of big dogs."

Not long after, everyone finished their breakfast of hot porridge and looked at the sky. Seeing that the time was approaching, they immediately went down the mountain.

On the mountain road, Xie Lingjiang looked his senior brother up and down and couldn't help but ask:

"Elder brother, did you ask Jiangzhou Hall to hold the ribbon-cutting ceremony today?"

"Yeah." Ouyang Rong nodded: "But Governor Wang, Zhu Lingxu and the others didn't come."

Li Guo'er said calmly: "You don't seem to be a person who enjoys great achievements."

Ouyang Rong smiled and said nothing.

You can't say that I just want to increase my merit points.

The previous incident of the bloody blessing gave Ouyang Rong a sense of crisis.

The more than a thousand merit points in the merit tower always feel unstable.

What should I do if I have an urgent need or need to redeem my merits, but I am short of merit points?

This time the ribbon-cutting ceremony was held with some high-profile display of double peaks, which was indeed inconsistent with Ouyang Rong's previous low-key style.

However, after Ouyang Rong figured out the logic of Xiao Muyu, he had no choice but to have a ribbon-cutting ceremony shamelessly.

Sometimes, if you don't publicize it, others really don't know what you have done.

After all, there are no floods this year. To verify the effect of digging the twin peaks, I had no choice but to take this step and accumulate a wave of merit first.

The clear and crisp sound of wooden fish that is constantly coming to my ears at the moment proves that this method is good and much better than being low-key and passive.

At the same time, it also proved that in the hearts of the people of Xunyang City, he was indeed doing practical things and had a good reputation.

But compared with the increase in merit, Ouyang Rong feels that this trust is particularly valuable.

Everyone went down the mountain.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony in the morning was held as scheduled.

The process was as usual, but Ouyang Rong saw Rong Zhen besides Miaozhen.

Speaking of which, it has been almost a month since we first met this woman outside the West City Gate that day.

But she was still the same, expressionless and cold.

Ye Weilai, who was following Ouyang Rong, suddenly tensed up and stared at her coldly with a pair of blue eyes.

Rong Zhen didn't care about the little girl's gaze.

Rong Zhen wasn't too interested in the excavation of the two peaks to open up water.

I saw her eyes staring straight at the huge grotto on the other side of the river, and asked directly:

"Donglin Giant Buddha, choose this location? Built near the mountains and rivers?"

"Yes, it matches the terrain of Jinshengshui."

Ouyang Rong nodded:

"At present, the construction of the double peaks has been completed, and a new ferry has been built to facilitate the transportation of stones and equipment. The construction of the Giant Buddha will begin soon. Madam Shi, please be patient. It will be done soon."

Rong Zhen turned his head and looked at Xunyang City in the distance, then at the grotto, counted his fingers, and turned back with a frown:

"Why not build it in the city?"

Ouyang Rong said:

"There is no land to build in the city. In terms of site selection, I have carefully selected it. The female historian can walk around and look for it in and around Xunyang City. If there is a better place, although it is said, it cannot be demolished.

Bar?

"Is it possible that you want His Majesty to be stigmatized? This is absolutely unacceptable."

Ouyang Rong's tone was teasing, but Rong Zhen heard the bottom line.

The girl in palace clothes frowned and said nothing, staring at Ouyang Rong coldly.

Ouyang Rong shrugged:

"Ms. Shi, can you please stop playing riddles? If you are dissatisfied with anything or have any taboos in selecting a location that need attention, please be sure to tell me."

Rong Zhen pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking about, and ignored it.

Ouyang Rong was speechless:

"Ms. Shi, if you don't say anything and just stare at people, what's the use. If you don't give me permission, then I'll take it as your acquiescence."

Rong Zhen suddenly turned around,

Before leaving, Leng Bingbing said:

"Let's do this for now."

"Okay, Ms. Shi, please walk slowly."

Ouyang Rong smiled and waved his hands.

Wait for Rongzhen, Miaozhen and others to walk away.

The smile on his face gradually faded,

Ouyang Rong calmly looked at the largest empty grotto on the other side.

Next is the most important statue.

"Sure enough, there is something strange. This giant Buddha doesn't seem to be that simple. Otherwise, the construction would be different, so why go to such trouble? This Rong Zhen must have something to say."

He pursed his lips and muttered to himself for a while.

Moreover, the specifications of the Donglin Giant Buddha are very high this time, and the people from Si Tianjian in Luoyang will follow up and provide guidance throughout the process.

Next, I might have to deal with Rong Zhen and Miaozhen often.

Ouyang Rong felt a slight headache when he thought of this.

The morning passed quickly and the ribbon-cutting ceremony was over.

Ouyang Rong took Zhen, Ye and other female family members, as well as his junior sister, and Li Xian's family, boarded the boat at the new ferry port, and prepared to return to Xunyang City.

After he was ready to go back, he immediately went to the Merit Tower to take a look and see how much merit had increased this time.

At this moment, Yan Liulang's figure hurried over:

"Ming Mansion. The lobby has received the latest official documents from the imperial court."

"What kind of official document is it that makes you so anxious?" Xie Lingjiang was curious.

Ouyang Rong took the official document and looked down at it. Facing the curious eyes of everyone, Yan Liulang frowned and said:

"The candidate for the Chief Military Officer of the Jiangzhou Road March has been decided. His Majesty has appointed King Wei as the Chief Military Officer of the Jiangzhou Road March, and ordered him to take full charge of the southwest expedition, form an army for the expedition, and go south today!"

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Even after Wang Lengran used Zhu Lingxu to defect and win a victory, Xie Lingjiang, Li Xian and others had already vaguely guessed this.

But now that it has been fully implemented, people are still a little bit silent.

Ouyang Rong raised his head, chuckled and said:

"In addition to this expected thing, there is another interesting thing. Governor Zhu Da read a book between me and the prince, and sure enough, biting dogs don't bark."
Chapter completed!
