Chapter 6720: Mutual Schemes
By the way, from Chen Xi's point of view, this matter today is actually not a big deal. Even if Kong Rong saw Chen Xi and asked Chen Xi to be fair, Chen Xi would probably laugh and say, "It's up to you guys to do whatever you want. I just need to get 70% and you guys can divide the rest."

As for my brother-in-law or something, it doesn’t matter. At this time, of course I have to highlight my morality and upbringing, that I, Chen Zichuan, am dedicated to the public and don’t interfere in such matters at all.

In short, there is nothing much to say. As long as they don't discredit the technical personnel that Chen Xi has prepared for local handicrafts and animal husbandry, these wealthy families can do whatever they want.

"Lord Chen, save me!" Just as Chen Xi shrank back, the sharp-eyed Kong Rong saw Chen Xi and immediately shouted in the direction of Chen Xi.

"I'm not!" Chen Xi went back without looking back.

"What are you yelling about? That's not Lord Chen, that's Lord Chen's brother!" Yuan Sui said with a dark face. How could he really not see Chen Xi? There are only a few long carriages with five pairs of wheels in the world. Normally, people would pay attention to it when passing by. So Yuan Sui saw Chen Xi from the beginning. After all, he was not like Kong Rong, the unlucky kid who was being chased and had no time to look around. It was just that at this point in time, he could just pretend not to see it. There was no need to make trouble.

When Kong Rong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yuan Sui. Yuan Sui was very happy to see that Chen Xi ignored him. He thought that he could give Chen Xi five gifts during the New Year. At this time, Chen Xi pretended not to see it, which would be good for everyone. After all, you, Chen Xi, have already eaten 70% of it!
Liu Bei and Chen Xi's carriages fled quickly, as they could not stay in this dangerous place for long.

"Look, they're leaving." Yuan Sui said with a smile while holding Kong Rong. Originally, one of the three elders of the Yuan family, Yuan Da passed away the year before last, and Yuan Sui took over. Compared with Yuan Da's upright style of doing things, Yuan Sui's style of doing things was obviously not particular about details.

"Wenju, listen to me. If you hand the person over, everything will be fine. If you can't, I'm sorry, I don't know if I will explode with my animal nature." Yuan Sui started to pull his belt and loosen his clothes in the street. "You know me, I don't care about food or meat."

Kong Rong's face turned green. Although there was no discrimination against people like Longyang Duanxiu these days, after all, there were only a few emperors in the Han Dynasty who did not have this problem. But as a descendant of Confucius, he was very dissatisfied with this indecent behavior. It was not in accordance with etiquette!
"Get away from me, get away from me!" Kong Rong began to kick his legs. After all, Confucians these days still practiced martial arts and emphasized the six arts of a gentleman. A two-pound book could be easily held in one hand for a day, and arm strength was no joke. Even Kong Rong was a muscular man with a muscular body when he took off his coat.

The struggle was not intense before, so the two old guys Yang Chang and Yuan Tao were able to hold him back. But now Kong Rong pounced on him, and he struggled free. He kicked Yuan Sui, who had already loosened his belt and was about to take off his coat, and was giving Kong Rong a whole incredible performance in the street.

The kick hit the eighty-year-old man. Even though Kong Rong knew something was wrong when he kicked him and quickly retracted his strength, he still knocked Yuan Sui to the ground, and Yuan Sui fell to the ground unable to move.

"Second brother!" Yuan Tao seemed to have been prepared. The moment Yuan Sui fell to the ground, he rushed over, supported Yuan Sui, and burst into tears.

Kong Rong was completely dumbfounded. This 56-year-old strong man kicked an 80-year-old man in the street. He was completely finished. To be honest, it was not a question of whether he was finished or not. He was completely blamed. He lost everything legally and morally.

"Wen Ju, you're in big trouble." Yang Chang grabbed Kong Rong with an expression that was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, and Kong Rong's brain was almost trembling at this moment. There was nothing to say, this was really a big deal!

"Uncle Yang, you know, things have come to this point mainly because of the Yuan family's fraud, and you are a witness." Kong Rong did not care about anything else at this time. He reached out to help Yuan Sui. He found that Yuan Sui was breathing less and more, and looked like he had hit his head and was about to be sent away. His face immediately turned greener than when Yuan Sui pulled down his belt before, and he quickly looked for a witness nearby.

"Wen Ju, when it comes to our level, do we talk about the law? Do we talk about evidence?" Yang Chang asked Kong Rong with a sigh, and Kong Rong's face turned as red as the bottom of a pot.

What the hell are you talking about laws and evidence? Are you all decent people? No, okay!
To put it bluntly, the current situation is that the head of the Kong family killed the great elder of the Yuan family, who had been a duke for five generations, in the street. This would be the rhythm of a war even if it happened in the past, not to mention now.

"Wen Ju, I think you know why the Yuan family came to you. If you continue to insist on doing this, this matter will really end badly." Yang Chang said solemnly, "To be honest, the Yuan family came here just to set up a trap to trick you, but they haven't started yet."

Kong Rong took a deep breath. He didn't dare to guarantee what the situation was with the Yuan family, but his kick to Yuan Sui must have been recorded. Next, the Yuan family would use this thing to cause a lot of deadly trouble.

"Those students were indeed sent away. I'm not kidding about that." Kong Rong's face looked very ugly, but this situation was even more uncomfortable than being locked up and held aside by several old men before.

"Where was it sent to?" Yang Chang looked at Kong Rong and asked the most important question directly.

However, at this moment, Liu Bei and Chen Xi turned their carriages back. They had run away before because they didn't want to get involved in such a mess, but now the onlookers said that someone was beaten to death, so even if Liu Bei and Chen Xi wanted to pretend to be dead, they had to come here first.

"Alas, I didn't want to get involved in such matters at all." Chen Xi got off the frame with a sigh, and walked towards Yuan Sui first. The activity detection equipment he carried on his body was also activated. After confirming Yuan Sui's condition, he felt much more at ease. It was just a feint. After experiencing Zhou Yu's incident, Chen Xi had some doubts about many calculations.

"Lord Chen!" Kong Rong came over first. In his opinion, the only one who could uphold justice at this time was Chen Xi. As for Liu Bei, he didn't even get off the car.

"I can only say that you decide how to convince the Yuan family. For matters like this, I can only mediate. If the Yuan family doesn't agree, I don't have any good solutions. I maintain an absolutely neutral attitude." Chen Xi stated his position first to prevent Kong Rong from overthinking.

"I..." Kong Rong's face looked very ugly, but he also knew that he, a "young and strong man" in his fifties, kicked an eighty-year-old man. The old man didn't fall to the ground on the spot, but he could have been carried away. There was a possibility of a self-torture trick, but Kong Rong also had means to detect it, and this was obviously not a calculation.

"I say the same thing. I don't care about the way you fight. All I can provide you is a venue." Chen Xi said calmly. He didn't say anything about Yuan Sui's situation. He even hinted Kong Rong to persuade the Yuan family, but the other party didn't listen. There was nothing he could do. He had helped as he should. The Yuan family was more skilled. There was nothing much to say.

"The person was indeed sent away." Kong Rong sighed and revealed all his secrets.

"Then get it back." Yuan Tao looked at Kong Rong coldly and said.

"That's the problem. Some of them went to Southeast Asia. I know you have a blockade in Southeast Asia, but your blockade is only on the upper class. This world is the world of Confucianism. This is not a joke. For the exchanges between the middle and lower classes, personal relationships are more important." Kong Rong said with a sigh, "As for chasing them, it's too late now. They should be almost at their destination."

Chen Xi nodded slightly when he heard this. This was consistent with his understanding of his elder brother-in-law. That guy came to Chang'an not only to give Chen Xi a gift, but also probably for these people. Now that he thought about it, Fan Qin had already considered how to transport these people away before these people graduated, and many sea routes should have been opened up very early.

"Which one?" Yang Chang asked, but his eyes were already looking at Chen Xi.

Kong Rong did not answer, but just glanced at Chen Xi out of the corner of his eye. Needless to say, everyone present was smart and knew what to ask and what not to ask.

"What about the rest?" Yuan Tao looked at Kong Rong and asked. Kong Rong's face darkened when he heard that.

"We don't have time to block the sea route, so what about the land route?" Yuan Tao stared at Kong Rong and asked. Chen Xi was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but look at Kong Rong.

To be honest, Chen Xi really didn't know this part.

"There is no land section." Kong Rong said in a deep voice.

"Lord Chen, we need to discuss the rest with Shih Kong. Some things are difficult to communicate with you here." Yuan Tao looked at Chen Xi and spoke seriously.

"I'm also curious, why is there a land route?" Chen Xi looked at Kong Rong, his curiosity barely concealed. If they didn't take the sea route, they would basically arrive at the territories of the major families. This was no different from the results of the previous discussion, but Kong Rong did this in advance? It felt meaningless.

Kong Rong was silent for a while and did not speak, but Yang Chang answered on Kong Rong's behalf, "There are several Central Asian families that are unable to join the university for some reasons, so after the personnel have been trained, they pushed Wen Ju to carry out another plan."

That is, instead of making detailed allocations, an expert group is formed.

This proposal deeply moved Kong Rong, or more directly, this way of playing greatly strengthened the power of the Kong family. Morality and benevolence come from Confucian classics, which are the foundation of the universal moral system of the Central Plains society. Confucius is the founder of this moral system. No matter which version is used in later generations, they are actually just making repairs to it, and it is difficult to jump out of this framework.

Even if one wants to manipulate minor details, one has to say that the Six Classics explain me and I explain the Six Classics. It is very difficult to create something out of thin air and overturn the basic framework of Confucianism such as ruler-ruler, minister-minister, father-father, and son-son. Even after the revolution of the 20th century, some things are still rooted in the social system and are nodes that cannot be removed.

This is also the reason why all classics introduced from abroad need to be localized.

Kong Rong was not considered to be very smart, and was certainly not as intelligent as the people in Chang'an at that time, but the education Kong Rong received was a true moral inheritance, a truly systematic one, and something that was truly embedded in the foundation of society.

In other words, you can mock the Kong family for their generations of surrender, but you also have to admit that if you enter the Central Plains, it will be difficult to rule without raising this banner. Even if the Hu people come to power, they will have to recognize the Kong family's banner in the end and still give the saint a new title.

Therefore, in the feudal era, the Kong family controlled the basic logic of social morality to a certain extent, and other families also operated based on this logic. It’s just that the Kong family’s system was too basic, which resulted in most of the time, they could only watch others operate and they could not operate at will.

To put it bluntly, it is based on this set of logic that makes it easier for the aristocratic families to suppress the Kong family, preventing them from manipulating the basic moral parameters.

This operation ensured that the Kong family could continue its lineage for eternity in the feudal era, but it also seriously affected the Kong family's influence among their contemporaries.

Think about it, if a family that has mastered the basic moral settings can freely exert its influence like the Five Surnames and Seven Clans, how can others survive?

Therefore, the Kong family, who had been the only family of the Kong family for generations, could only be suppressed in that place and could not be allowed to come out. In that place, you could be the king or the overlord, but you could not come out. If you came out, everyone would have to suppress you, because in the feudal era, people in the world might not know a certain generation of emperors, but they would definitely know Confucius.

This is the so-called legacy of the saints. This legacy can ensure that the Kong family will continue to be prosperous until the current moral system collapses. However, this legacy also prevents the Kong family from making too much noise in any era. It is indeed a super wealthy family, but it can only be trapped in Shandong!

You can become an official and easily hold those noble positions with little work and high pay, but forget about it if you want real power to control the officialdom. The power to interpret laws and the framework of the moral system are all in the hands of a powerful official. Whose world is this?
Therefore, every generation of the Kong family has bureaucrats with high ranks, but the real power of these bureaucrats is not great. They are all noble positions. Kong Rong got used to it over time. But in the fifth year of Yuanfeng, after Chen Xi gave Kong Rong the position of vice-president, under the instigation of certain families, Kong Rong came up with a new way of playing - there are not enough professional and technical personnel, and no matter which family they are assigned to, all of them are in need, so it is better not to divide them up, and form a professional and technical team to support each family and remain independent of each family!

This operation was extremely incredible; at least Kong Rong could not have thought of it. It was a plan proposed to Kong Rong by a noble family who had no one engaged in education.

This plan is not a bad thing for ordinary people, or even ordinary families, but for top families, it is obvious at a glance that this thing is harbouring evil intentions.

The power held by the Kong family cannot be used and can only be used to protect the family. However, if the Kong family controls such a professional technical team and allocates and dispatches them, then over time, a new family will have to ride on the heads of the Central Asian family, and this new family is the Kong family.

The Kong family's moral system, combined with such a framework of academic cliques, would not take more than two generations. If Kong Rong had studied for a longer time, even if the major aristocratic families tried hard to poach him, in the end Kong Rong would have left behind a set of means to control the major aristocratic families.

How could the head of a family not have some ambition? The only things in this world that can compete with power and capital are social moral foundations and knowledge. A certain family found that they did not have enough manpower to provide university education, but they did not want other families to take off. So they taught Kong Rong how to establish authority with the social moral system represented by their family and the higher education they mastered as the core!
What bureaucratic power, what wealthy and powerful capital, I am directly a moral and academic tycoon. Not to mention killing the two bastards in front, at least I will never be at a disadvantage in a confrontation. And as long as they can ensure that they do not fall into a disadvantage, the Kong family is basically the winner, because the bureaucratic power and wealthy and powerful capital represented by the major families are only a part, and the higher education and moral framework controlled by the Kong family are basically the only ones!
After such a secret letter was delivered to Kong Rong, Kong Rong sat in meditation for a day and a night, and finally decided to do it. The worst that could happen was death, so there was no point in being afraid. Anyway, it was impossible for all the families to oppose. Once he accomplished this deal, the Kong family would take off, and Yuan, Yang, Er Cui and those other guys would not be able to stop anyone!
By winning over small and medium-sized families, joining hands with the opposition among large families, and severely suppressing super-powerful families like Yuan, Yang, and Cui, my Kong family will win this time!
"Who gave this proposal to Kong Changshi?" Chen Xi was silent for a while, then he instantly realized what level of operation this was. Currently, the only higher education technicians in the Han Dynasty were trained from universities, and Kong was the only one suitable to be the vice president. In this case, if what Yang Chang said is true, it means that Kong Rong holds the power to dispatch higher education talents. In less than ten years, even if the Kong family does not have a fiefdom in Central Asia, they will be able to dominate all the large families.

"There's nothing against the rules." Kong Rong was not angry after the plan was exposed. He didn't go directly to New Zealand because he wanted to give it a try. As long as the high-level gameplay of moral interpretation power plus academic cliques could be successful, the Kong family would be invincible. Even if the artifact was changeable, the Kong family would be absolutely fine.

It would be fine if he didn't realize such an outrageous opportunity. But if he realized it, if he didn't take a chance, would he still be a human being? After all, the Kong family is a wealthy family with generations of history! Don't they even have the courage to take a chance?

"It's true that there is no violation." Chen Xi said after a moment of silence.

Anyway, it will not affect the Han Dynasty, because Kong Rong cannot stop himself from allocating personnel. Although it will definitely have a certain impact on the country, forming some expert groups, and then relying on authoritarianism to suppress knowledge, there is Chen Xi in the country, so it is not a big problem. As for abroad, it seems quite interesting that the Kong family rides on the heads of other families. After all, anyone can be the boss, and the Kong family is no problem.

"So Lord Chen should understand why we only posted the notice at the beginning and did not take any ruthless action, but now we have to take down the civil servant as soon as possible." Yuan Tao said with a gloomy expression.

Yuan Yang didn't realize Kong Rong's gameplay at first. He just thought that Kong Rong was trying to steal gold and equipment. Yuan Yang was just going to warn Kong Rong, but he really started to hunt him down. Someone sent Yuan Sui a letter, which explained in detail the logic of Kong Rong's gameplay. Yuan Yang was furious. The damn Kong family still had such ambitions. He had to push it back!

Although I have never witnessed a true academic clique, but considering that someone like Zheng Xuan were to do something shameless and throw dirty water on you, it would be enough to make it impossible for you to survive in the academic world.

Now Chang'an University is on a new track and a technical route. These newly trained talents look young, but they are actually Zheng Xuans. If this group of people is not divided up and controlled to form an expert group, then whatever this expert group says will be the truth!
Of course, at this point it doesn’t matter whether it’s from the Hongdu Sect or not, because this thing is really getting involved in the core power through other channels.

Immediately, the Yuan and Yang families formed a professional group of elderly people to surround Kong Rong. As for the group of professionals, Yuan and Yang could do without them, but the expert group must not appear, let alone appear in the hands of the Kong family.

"It's useless even if you catch me now. Re-electing the head of Kong family is a good idea, but the expert group has already arrived in Central Asia and has begun to provide assistance under the banner." At this point, Kong Rong didn't pretend anymore. He just wanted to have some power for fun. Besides, it's already now, the expert group has already arrived in Central Asia, Yuan Yang can't stop them, and even if they split up now, it's too late.

After experiencing the service of the expert group, compared with the small amount of money that will fall into their hands after the split, for most medium-sized families, it is better to keep the expert group. Yuan Yang will never go against this trend.

"What a skill." Chen Xi said with some admiration, thinking that Kong Rong had been low-key all his life, yet he had accomplished such a big thing.

"What's good about this! Kong Wenju has been plotted against from the beginning." Yang Chang said unhappily, "The other side is holding the expert group and negotiating with us. Either all the experts will be given to the Wang family, or the Wang family and the Kong family will join forces to instigate all the small and medium-sized families in Central Asia to form a core authority for the Kong family. Damn it, I have lived for seventy years and this is the first time I have encountered such a disgusting thing."

"Ah?" These words immediately silenced Chen Xi. It seemed that the Wang family was getting something for nothing, right?

"Kong Wenju's secret letter was also sent by the Wang family. This gameplay was also thought out by the Wang family after much thought, just to fool Kong Wenju." Yuan Tao said unhappily, "The expert group has now entered the Wang family's area. The Wang family's intention is that either this is the end of it and they are blackmailing us, or they will explode with us and build the invincible thing they mentioned before for the Kong family."

"Well, why don't you talk to the Wang family but come to find Kong Changshi?" Chen Xi was numb. This group of people really knew how to have fun.

"Of course we have to find a way to trick the Wang family out of their hands." Yuan Tao said with a dark face, "The Wang family didn't even invest a single person in the university, so why should they blackmail the expert group? If they want to blackmail someone, they have to blackmail my Yuan family!"
