"The reason for the postponement should be told frankly, moved with emotion, and explained with reason. How can I persuade you to explain it?"

On the street, it was quiet for a while.

Ouyang Rong walked forward with a rosewood piano case carved with auspicious clouds and beasts in his arms, speaking intently.

Lin Cheng turned his head, looked at Ouyang Rong's side face for a while, and sighed:

"Being aboveboard and open-minded, sometimes I have to admit that Ouyang Changshi's demeanor is indeed impressive."

"Mr. Lin Lingtai is not someone who is easily convinced."

Ouyang Rong shook his head.

Lin Cheng smiled: "What kind of person does Ouyang Changshi think I am?"

Ouyang Rong was silent for a while.

"Meat-eaters are despicable and lack foresight. Although Lin Lingtai is from Luoyang, he is obviously not."

Lin Cheng thought for a while, with a look of surprise on his face:

"Ouyang Changshi is saying that I can make long-term plans?"

Ouyang Rong nodded and shook his head:

"Lang Lingtai is very similar to me, but they are different. I always feel that there is something different."

"Maybe it's because we all come from poor families. We're not from a noble family, so we naturally feel friendly to each other."

Ouyang Rong turned to look at him for a while, and said in a serious tone:

"Since we are both from a humble background, then Lin Lingtailang should be more able to sympathize with the hardships of the lower class like me. After looking at it these days, I should be able to understand a little more about the postponement of the Donglin Giant Buddha."

Lin Cheng smiled:

"This is natural. I also know how lucky the people of Jiangzhou are to have a parent official like Ouyang Changshi."

Ouyang Rong looked serious:

"This is not the point. The point is that the people of Jiangzhou can't stand the trouble. There is a war on the front line now, and Xunyang City is also in a tight situation. The specific details have been listed by Hu Zhongshi and Lin Lingtai Lang. Donglin Giant Buddha will take a moment to calm down. In the end,

It's good. Not long ago, General Manager Qin came to Jiangzhou Hall and ordered us left-behind officials to stabilize the rear and not make any radical moves in the short term..."

Lin Cheng was noncommittal and did not answer Ouyang Rong's suggestion that he was transferred to official duties and asked:

"The merchant who criticized Ouyang Changshi just now, did Ouyang Changshi really not teach him a lesson?"

He said calmly:

"Officials are officials, and people are people, let alone a vulgar businessman.

"Ouyang Changshi, we, humble scholars of humble origins, are usually approachable, but those who are in charge must be dignified, and must be thunderous when necessary.

"Otherwise, if private criticisms are allowed to fly all over the sky, the people below may not feel that the chief officer is compassionate and down-to-earth when they see it. Instead, they will easily feel contempt and feel that they cannot even deal with a low-ranking businessman. They will inevitably become frivolous and neglectful of the chief officer.

, Losing respect is human laziness.

"Actually, all you need to do is send someone to warn and give a beating. Of course, it's best to catch a typical example. This is called killing the chicken to scare the monkeys."

Lin Cheng gave a sincere suggestion.

Ouyang Rong still shook his head:

"This is not how majesty comes. In other words, this kind of majesty generated by fear is not a problem."

Lin Cheng tilted his head, stared at Ouyang Rong's angular face like a marble statue, and said with concentration:

“Those who eat meat are despicable, those who eat grains are foolish, those who eat breath live long, those who do not eat live forever…

"Ouyang Changshi, it's true that we come from a humble background, but even saints admit that people have a hierarchy, and we can only use vulgar methods to deal with vulgar and despicable people."

Ouyang Rong stared ahead for a while and said softly:

"I beg to differ."

Lin Cheng said calmly:

"It doesn't matter, I am the same."

"But I would like to thank Mr. Lin Lingtai for your concern."

"I just mentioned it casually, Ouyang Changshi should just listen to it casually."

"good."

Ouyang Rong smiled and changed the subject:

"Lang Lingtai just said that apart from His Majesty who worships the Buddha devoutly, Rong Nushi is the one who most hopes that the Donglin Buddha will be built as soon as possible. How can we interpret this statement?"

"What's the meaning? It's not just the literal meaning."

Ouyang Rong's brows gathered together, with a look of confusion on his face:

"I'm asking, is the Donglin Giant Buddha closely related to the history of Rong Nu?"

After a pause, he added:

"To put it bluntly, apart from the routine rewards from the court for inspecting meritorious services after the completion of the Buddha, what other benefits can Rong Nushi get?"

Lin Cheng looked a little surprised. He looked up and down at Ouyang Rong who asked, and asked:

"Ouyang Changshi, do you really know or don't you know?"

Ouyang Rong looked at Lin Cheng's expression and shook his head.

"Yes, Ouyang Changshi is not from our Si Tianjian after all..."

Ouyang Rong raised his head and interrupted: "Rong Nu Shi only mentioned that a golden Buddha head will be sent from Luoyang... Is there any connection between it?"

"Almost...actually, it doesn't matter if Ouyang Changshi doesn't understand, some things about the Yin Yang family's Qi practitioners."

Ouyang Rong said seriously:

"I should know something, please give me some advice from Mr. Lin Lingtai."

Lin Cheng narrowed his eyes and said:

"Okay, Ouyang Changshi can understand that the promotion of the Yin Yang family's Qi practitioners requires special ceremonies. The bigger the scale and the luck involved, the better... And the construction of the Donglin Giant Buddha is a very special ceremony.

It is a ritual that meets the promotion conditions of the Yin Yang Family. It is also... the type of ritual that a sixth-grade qi practitioner like Rong Zhennvshi needs most at the moment. It is impossible to complete the promotion from sixth grade to fifth grade in one step."

Ouyang Rong suddenly said: "With the Tianshu of Song De and the four Buddha statues, excluding the one in Guizhou, wouldn't there be three big Buddha ceremonies?"

Lin Cheng nodded:

"That's right, there are three ceremonies, three opportunities, and there can only be three Yin Yang family Qi practitioners...and they need to participate in the whole process, until the moment the giant Buddha is completed."

Ouyang Rong nodded: "I understand, our Donglin Buddha in Jiangzhou has a female history quota, right?"

"That's right."

Lin Cheng sighed:

"Since the kings of Wei and Liang promoted the construction of the Songde Center of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the four directions of Buddha statues, I don't know how many people in Luoyang Sitianjian have been eyeing these four places. Among them are many seniors who have been stuck in the sixth rank for a long time.

It’s really amazing that True Women’s History can occupy a place, both in terms of strength and connections.”

Ouyang Rong suddenly said: "Envoy Lin Lingtai also really wants the position occupied by Rong Nu Shi."

Lin Cheng nodded unabashedly:

"That's right, but I thought about it before I came to Jiangzhou. After visiting Xunyang Grottoes in Jiangzhou, I didn't think much about it anymore."

Ouyang Rong smiled and asked: "Why is this?"

Lin Cheng hesitated for a moment and said vaguely:

"According to the teacher's instructions, the feng shui at the Shuangfeng Peak is not very good. I need to stay away. That is not an opportunity for me, so don't think too much about it. Besides..."

"Besides what?"

Lin Cheng shrugged:

"Besides, even if I have any extra thoughts, it is of no use. This opportunity of Donglin Giant Buddha has been firmly determined by Rong Zhennvshi. Who dares to fight for it? Not only does it have to pass the test of Da Si Ming, but also that person

The prince’s relationship..."

"Which prince?" Ouyang Rong asked smartly.

Lin Cheng's face changed slightly, as if he accidentally let something slip. He immediately calmed down his expression, smiled and changed the subject:

"Don't say that Ouyang Changshi is talking about the ceremony. It's good that you know it in your heart. Rong Zhen's female history is indeed very loyal to Ouyang Changshi. If it were anyone else, he would wish that the giant Buddha was built as soon as possible. Ouyang Changshi should take care of it.

…”

Ouyang Rong frowned and looked at him.

Lin Cheng looked innocent, looked around, and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"By the way, I wonder if Ouyang Changshi is free tomorrow afternoon?"

Ouyang Rong nodded: "Of course."

Lin Cheng smiled and said:
To be continued...
