Kong Zhongxiao thought of Wang Chong, who wanted to be given away for free, and Dong Zhongshu, who wanted to exchange for ten places, and couldn't wait to die in the imperial study.

Although he didn't believe it very much, Wang Chong had a collection of 100,000 books there. After all, with the accumulation of thousands of years of the Confucian family, it is only a collection of 300,000 books, and there are quite a few duplicate books among them, or books obtained from the Western Regions and other countries when the Great Jin Dynasty conquered the Quartet.

It's just that although Kong Zhongxiao doesn't believe it, he will never doubt the strength of an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years. In his mind, even if Wang Chong did not have a collection of 100,000 books, there should still be tens of thousands of books. If Dong Zhongshu's collection of books is added, the hole cards that the Kong family can negotiate with Mo Chen will definitely be weakened by half.

Because the collections of books may seem terrifying, but most of them are duplicate books. Mo Chen got the collection of books from the two families, and the Kong family's so-called World Book Pavilion was a bit chicken.

Kong Zhongxiao pondered his hole cards, and inexplicably felt an urge to shout MMP in his heart.

Knowing this, I should have talked with Zhu Yuyan slowly, so that even if the Kong family may not look good on face, at least they have eaten the biggest piece of fat. It's good now, let alone eating meat by these two bastards, whether you can drink soup or not depends on people's faces.

Damn, the Dong family is sparsely populated, and ten places are barely enough for them. But my Kong family has a population of tens of thousands, what should I do?

Kong Zhongxiao was depressed in his heart, but under Mo Chen's gaze, he didn't dare to hesitate for too long. His mind is complicated, and it is only a fleeting effort. Facing Mo Chen's gaze, Kong Zhongxiao's smile suddenly became humble, and he said in a low voice: "This, my Kong family wants twenty places, I don't know?" ”

"Yes." Mo Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was about to laugh in his heart, but his expression remained flat and flat.

Even if he didn't know the Kong family's initial calculations, he knew that twenty places were definitely not what the Kong family wanted. If it weren't for Dong Zhongshu and Wang Chong, even if the Kong family wouldn't open their mouths, they would definitely not compromise as simply as now.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The smile on Kong Zhongxiao's face was a little stiff, barely better than crying.

He couldn't help crying, because twenty places were too few for the Kong family. The Confucian family has been inherited for thousands of years, and the lineage alone now has a population of hundreds, and there are no less than 30 other branches. Twenty places are not enough no matter how you calculate them.

Kong Zhongxiao even suspected that when he returned to the Kong family, he would be torn apart by the ancestors of other branches!

Woo, it's not that I don't give it my best, it's really my teammates who are too piggy!

Let's talk about it first, anyway, the First Emperor has a request from us, and we don't have the final say on how many places there will be at that time. What the are you, what the hell is this!

Kong Zhongxiao's endless suffering fell on his heart, barely let the tears fall, and he could only silently recite Gu Liang's purpose: 'Although the court service is bad, it must be added; Though the crown is old, it will be added to the head; Although the Zhou family is declining, the princes must first comfort themselves. The sages once said, 'The king, the place where the people return'.

As a citizen of the Great Jin Dynasty, my Confucian family should solve problems for the king, and now there are still twenty places to leave the world, which is already an excellent thing. Relying on the great spirit of Ah Q, Kong Zhongxiao barely relieved the grief in his heart.

Mo Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Today, disasters are rife. As the end times approach, the calamities everywhere will only become more severe and unpredictable. Although Penglai can break through this world, if it comes to the moment when the end of the world really comes, I am afraid that it will be easy to change, so there is not much time left for us. ”

Several people looked solemn, even Kong Zhongxiao, who was heartbroken and wanted to die, did not dare to be careless.

When they heard Mo Chen's words, they couldn't help but frown. Although Dong Zhongshu and the others had never seen that video, they already knew something from Kong Zhongxiao's mouth. A monster that is even greater than the vastness of the galaxy, a terrifying devourer from another world.

If Mo Chen assures them that nothing will happen to Penglai, the two will start to doubt Penglai's authenticity. But now that they heard Mo Chen's worries, even if they hadn't seen Penglai's true appearance, they believed Mo Chen's words more and more.

"If Your Majesty has any orders, just open your mouth, and my Kong family will definitely go all out." Since Kong Zhongxiao agreed to Mo Chen's request, it can be regarded as a broken jar. He didn't give Dong Zhongshu and the others a chance to speak this time, and said directly.

Mo Chen said: "I do have a matter here that needs your help. The three islands of Penglai can provide for 300,000 people to be self-sufficient, and can withstand the pressure of a maximum of one million people. The widow has personally selected 150,000 elites of the Great Jin, but there are still 150,000 places that need to be screened from the world's elites. With such a heavy responsibility, the widow is a little uneasy to hand over to others, and I don't know if the three of them are willing to relieve my worries. ”

Choose 150,000 places from all over the world!

The corners of the eyes of the three of them jumped slightly when they heard this, even in Dong Zhongshu's state of mind, they couldn't help but be a little more excited. Among them, Kong Zhongxiao was the most excited, and the twenty places were naturally not enough for the Kong family. But these 150,000 places, the Kong family does not need to be too much, and only needs to use a little means to be able to seek enough benefits for themselves.

Several people were a little excited, and suddenly came to their senses.

With such an unprecedented responsibility, it would definitely be a big joke to say that Mo Chen was relieved of himself and others.

The only reason is that this incident is too offensive, and it is an endless offense. After all, there are so many families in the world, and there are so many talents in the world, and the number of places in the world seems to be a lot with only 150,000 places, but if it falls on the thousands of families and sects in the Great Jin Dynasty, the number of places that each family can get is simply a handful.

If one is not good, Confucianism will inevitably cause a lot of trouble and become the object of resentment of others.

But can you refuse?

Several people looked at each other without moving, Wang Chong was quite calm when he was alone, and Dong Zhongshu and Kong Zhongxiao couldn't help but smile a little bitterly.

Your Majesty, it's really calculating.

They can't refuse, even if they know that there is a bottomless sinkhole below, they can't refuse, because the benefits are so big that the two of them have no reason and courage to refuse.

Several people were silent for a moment.

Wang Chong was the first to speak: "Penglai is the last hope and the last inheritance. We have to think about what kind of situation they will encounter if they succeed in entering the new world. Therefore, these 150,000 talents must involve all walks of life, from the people engaged in planting, to even the inheritors of even a craft and a craft. It is not easy to screen out 150,000 people in such a short period of time. ”

When Kong Zhongxiao heard this, he also came back to his senses from his own affairs.

They pondered for a moment and then expressed their opinions. Although the two are selfish, they can still distinguish between right and wrong in the face of this kind of major right and wrong.

Mo Chen listened to the suggestions of several people, although most of them had already been considered, sometimes his eyes still lit up. Several people discussed, gradually forgetting the passage of time, and fell silent in Penglai's future planning.

First of all, there can't be only one person in all walks of life, otherwise the whole plan may collapse if there is a small change. Secondly, the three immortal islands that are connected to each other but can be separated for a short time require each island to be able to call itself a system.

In this way, even if something happens to one of the islands, the other two islands will not be unable to complete their mission. Although this assumption is somewhat cruel, they have to guess with the worst-case scenario, because no one knows what they will face when they leave this world.

And just when a few people were discussing, Luoyang City had fallen into a turbulent undercurrent.

The huge undercurrent has affected Confucianism, the hundred schools, and even the Chinese military officials, and no one can escape from it. It's just that no one noticed that Wu Meiniang, who was the queen, had already quietly left the palace. In recent years, the Eldest Princess Mansion, which has been much more low-key, has welcomed a special guest.

Wu Meiniang's first words when she came to the eldest princess's mansion made Ji Yunshang fall silent.

"Your Majesty wants to make the princess the prince!"
