Ninety-three, brush merit
Twin peaks tip.
What was once a low valley between two peaks has been carved out of a waterway.
The newly dug waterway is leading to the Xunyang River on both sides of the front and back.
At present, the waterway has been opened, and the mighty Huangsha River has poured into the waterway, connecting the north and south of Xunshui.
Spectacular.
A newly opened pier sits in a prime location at the beginning of this waterway.
Compared with the sparse tourists and craftsmen working hard during the construction in the past, the new wharf was lively early this morning.
Many convoys from Xunyang City parked on the official road outside the ferry.
The crowd of spectators poured in like the gushing water of a new waterway,
Among them, there are wealthy merchants, scholars and wanderers, officials in the Jiangzhou hall, and craftsmen and people who have not yet been evacuated.
Looking forward to it.
This is a major event in Xunyang City in the past two days.
Jiangzhou Governor Shi Ouyang Lianghan, vigorously promoted the construction of the twin peaks, which was completed today.
I heard that the turbulent water of the Xunyang River has been reversed.
In the words of some knowledgeable people in the city, the floods that plagued Xunyang City in the past can be regarded as cut off, and the low-lying Lifang such as Xingzifang no longer needs to be troubled by seasonal floods.
The people of Xunyang City, either simply curious and admired, or with the honor of witnessing history, or shrewd to see business opportunities, hawkers came to set up stalls and other reasons, one after another, came to watch.
I heard that this morning, a ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held in the Jiangzhou lobby.
The territory of Jiangnan has been disturbed by floods since ancient times, and in the folk of Jiangnan, the floods themselves have the superstitious color of strange powers and ghosts.
Naturally, the people are in awe of the creation of twin peaks that can prevent flooding, just like the Folding Wing Canal.
In addition, many people also want to meet the governor of Jiang, who has the talent to control water.
This young man, who is rumored to be breezy and handsome, has been legendary in the eyes of the people of Xunyang City since he took office:
is a righteous man and gentleman who is famous all over the world, because he contradicted the empress of the dynasty, he was relegated to Longcheng County, Jiangzhou, which is poor and bad.
This is also the poor and remote land recognized by the people of Jiangzhou before, near the mysterious Yunmengze, and the flood is the most serious.
But he never thought that less than a year after taking office, he would hand over the outstanding political achievement of folding the wing canal, cure the floods in Longcheng, and get the people of Longcheng to send him ten miles away...... The last such fierce man was Di Fuzi, who was the prime minister of the court.
With such a resume, he naturally attracted much attention as soon as he took office, and was talked about by the people of Xunyang, which was in stark contrast to the history of the assassination surnamed Wang, which was not much concerned.
In addition, the recent victory in the Battle of Guling also resolved the predicament of Jiangzhou, and the retreat of the Hongzhou Kuangfu Army gave Xunyang City temporary security, and the scholars, wanderers, and ordinary businessmen also had the mind to go out.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony to be held this morning attracted a small half of the city to watch for a while......
On this side of the new pier, on the top of the West Peak, one of the two main peaks of the twin peaks, East and West, there is a newly renovated pavilion.
The two main peaks at the tip of the twin peaks are not high, but they can also overlook the Xunshui scenery below, which is an excellent view and an unobstructed view.
At present, the ribbon-cutting ceremony in the morning has not yet begun, and many people have gathered in the summit pavilion.
In September, autumn is getting stronger, the early morning chill is quite heavy, and the hazy morning fog fills the sparse green leaves.
The people who came to the pavilion were wet with the dew of the grass when they walked up the mountain not long ago.
September is a good time to climb, the autumn scenery is far greater than the cold wet clothes, from Xunyang Wangfu to come to the leisure family did not care, left and right to visit, full of interest, as for others, is already used to it.
In the pavilion, everyone gathered around the stone table to enjoy breakfast.
Ouyang Rong, Xie Lingjiang.
Zhen Shuyuan, Ye Weilai.
Idle family, and the palace maid.
There are also masters and apprentices of good guidance and hair.
Diao County's order is not there, Longcheng has been recaptured, he returned to Longcheng early to deal with a thousand miscellaneous matters, and he is also afraid of delaying time to prevent accidents on Ah Qing and Liumu's side.
Master Shandao and Xiufa continued to stay in Xunyang City, waiting for the construction of the Donglin Giant Buddha.
Everyone is here today.
Yan Liulang was also there, but he needed to preside over the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the ferry under the mountain, and he was busy going down the mountain after just drinking a few sips of hot porridge.
"Sorry for bringing you here so early." Ouyang Rong spoke.
Li Xian took the porridge bowl handed by Wei Mei and said with a smile:
"It's okay, it's just as stepping into autumn, ascending in September, the season is just right, speaking of which, I haven't been out of the city for a long time, and today is a good weather."
Li Dalang turned his head, and looked at the newly chiseled waterway under the mountain with curiosity:
"Tan Lang has been busy for so long, this twin peak tip has finally been dug up, I don't know if I don't see it, I only find it when I look at it, it's not easy, it is estimated that Tan Lang has the patience to implement this matter."
After taking a few mouthfuls of glutinous rice porridge, he handed the bowl back to Caishou and stood up, looking farther to the other side.
There are grottoes with faint rudimentary shapes.
"Ouyang Lianghan, that's the place where the Donglin Giant Buddha was built for my grandmother?"
Ouyang Rong nodded:
"Well, the main grotto is ready, the Donglin Giant Buddha is about to be built, and today Miaozhen and Rongzhen will also come to check."
Li'er asked again: "What about the redundant small grottoes next to it?" ”
Ouyang Rong smiled:
"For wealthy Buddhist temples or big pilgrims, it is not interesting to build only one big Buddha, and if you want to build more, this is called a hundred flowers blooming."
Libao'er thought: "It turned out that I earned the silver of Buddhism." ”
Ouyang Rong smiled, blinked and said:
"It's clearly doing great good deeds, there are so many famous temples and ancient temples in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are also a lot in Kuanglu Mountain, so we can't let the Lotus Pure Land Sect take the lead.
"The Xunyang Grottoes are on both sides of this golden waterway, comparable to the best Buddhist relics to promote Buddhism, and the famous monks of all sects must be willing to be lonely."
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Master Shandao:
"But the great wisdom monk rest assured, the largest Buddha statue in the Shuangfeng Jian Grottoes, the best location, can only be the Donglin Giant Buddha, the grottoes next to it, can be regarded as an addition.
"Besides, what's the fun of being alone, it's spring to compete for beauty."
Xie Ling Jiang answered with a smile:
"It's a win-win strategy.
"In the excavation of Xunyang Grottoes at the tip of Shuangfeng, so many stones need to be transported, labor is needed, and the demand for workstations can feed back to the people who are begging for a living in Xunyang City.
"The Big Buddha Grottoes can also attract pilgrims and tourists and promote the prosperity of Xunyang's commerce.
"And when the new ferry port becomes lively, it can drive the outside of Xunyang City to expand to the west and border the twin peaks ......in the future."
She is like a treasure.
Lixian and the others nodded with a smile.
Master Mentor stroked his beard and said:
"It's still a great Ming Mansion, the Donglin Giant Buddha is very good here, and the tourists in the passing fleet can bathe in the light of our Lotus Pure Land Sect Buddha."
The old monk's tone was satisfied.
The atmosphere in the pavilion was happy for a while,
But he didn't see the senior brother speak, Xie Lingjiang turned his head curiously, and immediately found that someone was secretly eating pickled radish with his head bowed silently.
Under the chopsticks, that is called a fast and accurate ruthless.
"Senior brother, you ...... Don't clip it, wait for me ......"
Glaring, Xie Lingjiang hurriedly poked in with chopsticks and "confronted" him.
The good mentor disciple has the foresight to see that this time he came to Xunyang City to flee, and he did not give any heavy gifts, but brought a few cans of pickled radish.
Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang were very satisfied.
It's just that two foodies are naturally competitive.
"Tan Lang slow down, what are you fighting with Wanwan, it's really ......" Zhen Shuyuan's jade hand patted the back of Ouyang Rong's hand.
"Auntie is eccentric."
Ouyang Rong sighed, put down his chopsticks, looked at the little junior sister who was as happy as a fighting rooster, and smiled dumbly.
"Tan Lang, since there are extra grottoes, then King Ben will also donate a Buddha statue."
Lixian discussed with Wei Mei for a while, turned his head, and said seriously:
"As the nominal superintendent of the king, donate a Buddha statue to pray for the mother emperor, the form, just pick the Buddha statue of this lotus sect to build, as for the specifications, it is lower than the Donglin Giant Buddha, not excessive."
"Uh......"
Ouyang Rong looked at Lixian's sincere expression, and Wei Mei, who was pursing his lips and smiling without objection.
He thought for a moment, nodded, and muttered:
"It's okay, in this way, with the prince taking the lead, it should be able to attract a lot of big dogs."
After a short time, everyone finished their breakfast with hot porridge, looked at the sky, and saw that the hour was approaching, so they immediately went down the mountain.
On the mountain road, Xie Lingjiang looked Senior Brother up and down, and couldn't help asking:
"Senior brother, did you ask the Jiangzhou lobby for today's ribbon-cutting ceremony?"
"Hmm." Ouyang Rong nodded: "But Wang Da Thorn Shi and Zhu Lingxu didn't come." ”
Away from the wrapping lightly: "You don't look like a person who is happy with great achievements." ”
Ouyang Rong smiled and didn't speak.
I can't say it, I just want to brush up on a wave of merit points.
The previous bloody blessing made Ouyang Rong feel a sense of crisis.
More than 1,000 merit points in the merit tower, always feel unstable,
What should I do if I am in urgent need, or if I have good fortune to redeem, but I lack merit points?
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was held this time, and some high-profile displays of the creation of double-peaked tips, which are indeed inconsistent with Ouyang Rong's previous low-key style.
However, after Ouyang Rong figured out the logic of Xiao Muyu, he had to be cheeky to cut the ribbon.
Sometimes, if you don't advertise, people really don't know what you're doing.
After all, there is no flood this year, to verify the effect of the excavation of the twin peaks, I have to make this decision and save a wave of merit first.
The crisp sound of wooden fish in my ears at the moment proves that this method is good, and it is much better than being low-key and passive.
At the same time, it also proves that in the hearts of the people of Xunyang City, he is indeed a practical person and has a good reputation.
But compared with the increase in merit, Ouyang Rong feels that this trust is particularly valuable.
The people 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 except for Miaozhen,
Speaking of which, it has been almost a month since we met for the first time outside the West City Gate that day.
But she was still the same, expressionless, with a cold face.
Ye Weilai, who followed behind Ouyang Rong, suddenly tensed up, and a pair of blue eyes stared at her coldly.
For the little girl's gaze, Rong Zhen didn't care.
The excavation of the twin peaks is open to water, and Rong Zhen is not very interested,
I saw that her eyes were staring straight at the huge grotto on the other side of the river, and she asked directly:
"Donglin Giant Buddha, choose here? Built by the mountains and rivers? ”
"That's right, it's in line with the topography of Jin Shengshui."
Ouyang Rong nodded:
"At present, the twin peaks have been excavated, and the new ferry port has also been built, which is convenient for transporting stones and equipment.
Rong Zhen turned his head to look at the head of Xunyang City in the distance, then looked at the grotto, pinched his fingers, frowned and turned back:
"Why not build it in the city?"
Ouyang Rong said calmly:
"There is no land to build in the city, in terms of site selection, it is carefully selected, the female historian can walk around inside and outside Xunyang City, find it, if there is better, although it is said, but it can't be demolished in the city, right?
"Is it difficult to think that Your Majesty will be infamy? This must not be done. ”
Ouyang Rong laughed in a funny tone, but Rong Zhen heard a firm bottom line.
The palace girl frowned and was silent, staring at Ouyang Rong coldly.
Ouyang Rong shrugged:
"Can you not play dumb riddles, if you are not satisfied, or if there are any taboos in the location that need to be paid attention to, please be sure to tell me."
Rong Zhen pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking, and ignored it.
Ouyang Rong was a little speechless:
"Master Nushi, what's the use of not speaking, staring at people. If you don't give permission, then you will acquiesce. ”
Rong Zhen turned around suddenly,
Before leaving, he coldly dropped a sentence:
"Let's do it first."
"Okay, Master Nushi, go slowly."
Ouyang Rong smiled and waved his hand.
Wait for the backs of Rong Zhen, Miao Zhen and others to go away.
The smile on his face gradually retracted,
Ouyang Rong calmly glanced at the largest empty grotto on the other side,
Then there is the most important statue.
"Sure enough, this big Buddha doesn't seem to be so simple, otherwise it's not the same where it is built, why bother so much, this Rong Zhen, there must be something to say."
He pursed his lips and muttered to himself for a moment.
And this time, the specifications of the Donglin Giant Buddha are very high, and the people from the Tianjian in Luoyang will follow up and guide the whole process.
Next, I may have to deal with Rong Zhen and Miao Zhen often.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Rong felt a slight headache.
The morning passed quickly, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony dispersed.
Ouyang Rong took Zhen, Ye and other female dependents, as well as the little sister and the idle 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 it was comparable to how much merit had risen in this wave.
At this moment, Yan Liulang's figure hurriedly came:
"Ming Mansion. The lobby received the latest official document from the imperial court. ”
"What kind of official document, so anxious." Xie Lingjiang was curious.
Ouyang Rong took the official document, lowered his eyes and browsed, facing everyone's curious eyes, Yan Liulang frowned and said:
"The candidate for the general manager of the Jiangzhou Road march has been decided, and His Majesty has named the king of Wei as the head of the Jiangzhou Road march, and ordered him to preside over the southwest crusade with full powers, form a conquest army, and go south on the same day!"
The atmosphere was silent.
Even after Wang Lengran won a big victory with the help of Zhu Lingxu, Xie Lingjiang, Lixian and others had vaguely guessed this.
But now that it is fully implemented, it is still a little silent.
Ouyang Rong raised his head and said with a chuckle:
"In addition to this expected thing, there is also an interesting thing, that Governor Zhu Dadu, participated in me and the prince's book, and sure enough, the dog that bites people does not bark."
Everyone frowned.
