The more suffering there is, the more it should be the time when thinkers appeared. The so-called misfortune of a country is the same as that of poets. In the chaotic years, people with lofty ideals should look for hope.
But when all the people with lofty ideals appear in the army, it will be very embarrassing.
As the first time in human history that the ancient system of blood-based rule of "Shiqing Shilu" was broken through, military merit conferment has a long history. After the emergence of military merit conferment, it has become an enduring talent selection method in human history.
system.
In Dulan's hometown, the awarding of military honors first began with the Wei Wuzu formed by the Wei State. This army could be said to be the first powerful army in the Warring States Period. After that, various countries implemented reforms one after another, among which the Qin State's reforms were the most thorough.
Jue spread his influence across the country and eventually became the master of tigers and wolves.
Before the emergence of Wei Wuzu, talents who wanted to get ahead could only join the nobles and become hangers-on. In fact, they were equivalent to dog-headed military advisors. They only waited for the opportunity to use their talents to gain rewards and complete the transition, but it was very difficult. But to build military merits through battles was enough.
It's simple, you can do it if you have sound limbs.
By the time of the Han Dynasty, no one wanted to fight anymore, but the country still had to operate and could not do without talents, so there was a system of detecting filial piety and integrity, which was to select talents by the local government. Naturally, there was no problem at the beginning, because it was a small government from the beginning.
In large places, there are still kings with different surnames and kings with the same surname, but this will obviously not be possible after the Han Dynasty completes complete unification. However, the imperial examination system did allow the Han Dynasty to have a lot of talents. During the Three Kingdoms era, one or two top leaders could emerge in each place.
Talent shows that the system is working very well.
In the chaotic era of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system was developed based on the examination of filial piety and integrity. Central officials went to the local areas to find talents and divided the talents into nine grades. But later it became a clan system.
Knowledge is monopolized by clans, and talents are monopolized by Ye Bei.
Then came the Sui and Tang Dynasties, when the imperial examination made its debut. After 1,300 years, each dynasty improved the imperial examination, and the imperial examination became the main way to select and circulate talents.
Although great poets such as Li Bai hated the imperial examination, it was indeed a highly feasible system for selecting talents in peacetime.
Although the awarding of military honors can shine brightly in the era of opening up new territories, it is very likely to become a serious problem in peacetime, leading to corruption, overcoming superiors, etc.
Nowadays, although Eldia and Marais are advancing in technology, they have made no achievements in talent selection. Nobles and nobles still control the upward path, and civilians can only join the army if they want to get ahead.
The world of giants is not the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. In the Spring and Autumn Period, when Shiqing Shilu, a scholar who wanted to join the nobility must have a beautiful set of rhetoric, and the level of the scholar was higher than that of the aristocrat. But in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, poor families
Without a noble son, education is completely controlled by the clan. The clan has a prominent family background and monopolizes education. It is almost overwhelming. As long as they consider their own family, their level does not need to be too high.
The same is true for Eldia, so the imperial examination is required.
Dulan looked at these young people in the training corps and felt deeply that the country's problems were serious. It was a stagnant water in times of peace, but it was **** in times of war. The bottom prevailed over the top, and it needed to be changed.
"You should take more cultural classes, starting from 104." Dulan immediately started to make trouble, so he directly told these teenagers: "You are unwilling to join the militia corps because you feel there is no future. I can tell you now, wait until you
After graduation, take an exam organized by the militia corps. If you pass the exam, you will directly become an official!"
Official?
This is a dream treatment. You must know that even if the training results are among the top ten, you can only freely choose a corps to join. You also start from the grassroots and you don't know when you will be able to stand out. But the militia corps directly allows them to become officials?
That would be great.
"What exam?"
"Of course it's a cultural test. Not only do you need to be able to compete, but you also need to have a profound concept of governance. I will give you night classes after that. The content of the test will be in the night classes. If you are not afraid of hardship and tiredness, then come
Let's go to class. I guarantee that you will reap the rewards of your hard work." Duran knew that someone would definitely come, because the benefits of becoming an official directly are extraordinary, and there will be no second chance in Eldia.
Therefore, Duran's night classes were packed with seats. Except for a few teenagers who did not seek advancement or had no intention of joining the militia, everyone else came.
Very good, as expected, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, and these people will become a new force in thinking about the future of the country.
Duran's class proceeds from the shallower to the deeper, talking about national and racial issues, and of course some profound philosophical thoughts, such as fatalism and causality. The content is all-encompassing, ranging from astronomy to geography, with interpersonal relationships and social ethics in between.
It is something that these young people have no chance to come into contact with, and it can even be said that even princes and generals cannot learn it. Now Dulan has stuffed it into their minds. Many people's brains have been shut down and they cannot learn it at all.
It’s not that they are exempt from this crime because they are officials.
Training every day, eating only sweet potatoes, and having to spend mental energy studying at night is completely self-inflicted.
Despite the difficult learning conditions, several top students were still produced, and Armin was one of them. He was very excited to learn, because before reading, he only knew that there were flaming rivers, frozen plains, flying sand, and endless
Waters, but do not want to think that there are intangible and unimaginable things outside these tangible and imaginable worlds.
It's too abstract, too difficult to learn, and too interesting. Armin absorbs knowledge like a sponge, and his two friends are just foils. Mikasa sits there dumbfounded, wandering, and Eren has already dozed off.
He just wanted to expel the giants, and Duran's class obviously couldn't help him expel the giants, so he didn't care at all.
Learning these things cannot drive away the giants, but it can make people know that besides giants, there are many, many issues that humans need to consider.
It's not just about expelling the giants.
Expelling giants is a top priority for individuals who hate giants, but it is only a trivial matter for human society as a whole. By solving human problems, we can naturally unify ideology, unite forces, and inspire humans to be unafraid of sacrifice, and we can naturally drive out giants.
These are things that Eren cannot see, but Armin is learning. He understands that exterminating the giants is not a matter of a few corps, but must be contributed by everyone. Scientists need to develop technology, farmers need to grow more food, and senior officials need to
To correct attitudes, all levels of society must unify their thoughts.
Instead of the current situation where each level has its own small calculations, the people inside the wall only regard the refugees as a burden, the nobles only care about pleasure and suppress the development of science and technology, and the managers at all levels are in intrigues. It is completely scattered, unless
Pray for the emergence of a final decisive weapon, otherwise how can the problem be solved? They can't give an answer.
Many two-dimensional works seem very naive because they never consider the issue of organizational power, and only hope that a final decisive weapon will emerge to solve all problems. But in fact, organizational power is the real killer weapon. Talent selection and ideology will be used to
When the whole society is twisted into a rope, this is the most powerful weapon.
Why haven't the giants been expelled? It's not because the giants are too powerful, but because society has no organizational power and the whole society is not thinking about expelling the giants. If the whole society is thinking about expelling the giants, then the unintelligent giants are no match for the malicious humans.
