The usual practice of aristocratic families is to join if you can't do it.
What they like to do most is to bet in multiple ways and not put all their eggs in one basket. This method has long been used with great proficiency.
In the past, their actions had been successful many times.
This is how the so-called aristocratic family with a thousand-year dynasty came about.
They have abundant resources and sufficient talent reserves. They can often occupy many important positions in times of troubled times and the beginning of a new dynasty.
With his huge influence in the court, combined with his local strength, he is still able to influence everything and enjoy a prosperous life.
The current situation in the world is basically clear, and it is only a matter of time before the Wagang Army unifies the world.
Naturally, aristocratic families from all over the country have taken action to send their children to join the Wagang Army, or enter the Wagang Army's talent training system, hoping to successfully occupy high positions and stabilize their own status as in the past.
Only this time, they were in trouble.
Damn it, the Wagang Army’s territory actually emphasizes military force over civil service!
This is very embarrassing...
In addition to the four great clans who focus on military merit and have direct descendants of the military aristocratic group, who have no special restrictions on martial arts training and even have an encouraging attitude, the situation of the other aristocratic families is different.
Maybe I learned some self-defense skills, or some martial arts to strengthen my body, or more importantly, I learned the skills of controlling people.
Under normal circumstances, this situation would be quite advantageous.
Often during the battle for the dragon and when a new dynasty is first established, such talents are needed, and they must be reused vigorously.
However, the situation of Wagang Army is different.
The rural construction system that has been adhered to for many years has formed a relatively complete structure.
This is nothing. The key point is that the Wagang Army attaches great importance to practical knowledge, such as medicine, industry, agriculture and animal husbandry, rather than simply the art of managing people.
It is a bit biased to say that the Wagang Army emphasizes martial arts and neglects literature, but the literature of the Wagang Army is very different from the literature that aristocratic families value.
In the Wagang area where everyone practices martial arts and there are many masters, maintaining order is the first element. As for the charioteers, which one do you want to control?
In addition, if your own strength is not enough, you will also lack enough prestige.
Even if you are an excellent manager, it still won't work if you are not strong enough.
If you know how to govern the local area, can you still make the productivity and living standards of the entire place develop by leaps and bounds?
Obviously impossible!
Then specializing in a certain area, coupled with good martial arts skills, is the foundation for settling down in the Wagang Army.
This time, the direct descendant who was carefully cultivated by a wealthy family was made to lose his temper.
Even if they are unhappy and dissatisfied with the Wagang Army's management and organizational system, there is nothing they can do.
If you are unable to occupy a certain high position in the Wagang Army camp, it would be a pure waste to send your carefully cultivated direct descendants.
Only then did the aristocratic families realize how unfriendly the Wagang Army's internal structure and complete talent training system were to them.
The more I understand, the heavier I feel.
In the past, for a force like the Wagang Army with a shallow foundation and a serious lack of talents in all aspects, it was quite easy for them to penetrate inside and occupy a high position.
And they can also look for opportunities to spread their influence to the entire force, turning them into one of their own.
Whether it is the nine-rank Zhongzheng system inherited from the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, or the filial piety and integrity system of the Han Dynasty, or the so-called imperial examination system instituted by Emperor Wen, all these ways of selecting talents are in the hands of wealthy families.
Even though the imperial examination system seems to have shaken the fundamental interests of aristocratic families in monopolizing knowledge, in fact, in the absence of large-scale promotion of basic knowledge, the imperial examination system is still a monopoly of power by aristocratic families.
At most, a crack is exposed for geniuses from humble families.
Even in the era when the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System was very popular, it was not true that geniuses from poor families had no chance of making a difference, it was just that it was quite difficult.
Think about it, the entire court is made up of people from aristocratic families, and they are seriously affected by the behavior style of aristocratic families.
Even if the emperor wants to make a difference, it must be in line with the interests and demands of the aristocratic families, otherwise it will be difficult to accomplish anything.
As time goes by, when the founding emperor and the second emperor who mastered the sword died, wouldn't the entire court still be under the absolute control of the aristocratic family?
But here at Wagang Army, the situation is completely different.
There is a fairly complete talent training system here, and a considerable number of talents have been continuously trained.
Each of these talents has both civil and military skills and rich practical experience, which is very suitable for the development ideas and development atmosphere of Wagang Army.
At this time, it is not so easy for aristocratic families to penetrate their influence, or the chances are very small.
What depresses the wealthy family the most is that Wagangjun’s talent training system is completely different from the mainstream.
What Nima and Wagangjun taught were all miscellaneous subjects in the past, and Confucianism as the mainstream turned out to be only an auxiliary subject.
This is very fucked up. The aristocratic family cannot give full play to its natural advantages in Confucianism and cannot occupy a dominant position in ideological and public opinion.
Without being able to occupy a dominant position in ideological and public opinion, how can a small and sparse population from a wealthy family compete with the children of Wagang who have universal education?
The advantages of the past are no longer there. If you want to switch to the new mainstream camp, the price you need to pay is too high.
But despite this, the situation is stronger than others, so I have to grit my teeth and accept it.
We had no choice but to send the children from the side branches of the family who had not been taken seriously before into the nearby Wagang Basic School to learn from the basics and integrate into the Wagang system.
As for the direct descendants who have been carefully cultivated and have been established, they can only be sent to Guanzhong or Jiangnan area, where they can still have room and space to develop.
To be honest, what most aristocratic families who want to integrate into the Wagang system hate is the complete basic school system in the Wagang military area.
It can be said that one basic school in each village has completely shaken the fundamental interests of aristocratic families.
Some guys don't give up and want to rely on the so-called celebrity names to take control of the basic school and reverse the deflected situation.
It's a pity that Wu Dong will not give them any chance at all.
The textbooks in the basic school have basically been completely fixed. No additions or deletions are allowed. Once you find out, it is no joke.
Moreover, the teachers in the basic school are all from within the Wagang Army and will not recruit outsiders at all.
After so many years of military literacy and the vigorous development of popular education, there is no shortage of teachers in basic schools here in Wagang Army.
Teachers in basic schools, in addition to their own public funds, also have additional contribution points, which are quite valuable.
That is one of the means within the Wagang Army that can be used to exchange various cultivation resources. Only a fool would easily give it to outsiders.
It is said that within the Wagang Army at this time, some families with large populations even formed a certain division of labor.
At any time, there will be a family member teaching in various levels of schools to accumulate contribution points, which serves as a special way for the entire family to redeem valuable spiritual resources.
In particular, when Wu Dong was cultivating secretly in the Copper Palace, he easily obtained a large number of masters and grand master-level inheritances. When the news came out, it caused a huge sensation within the Wagang Army.
Even the retired leader Zhai Rang couldn't help but become a teacher in a secondary school in order to accumulate contribution points.
That is a martial arts inheritance at the level of a master or even a grand master. Even if you can't practice it yourself, it will be a good foundation for your family in the future.
Don't get me wrong, this family is not that family.
Because the Wagang Army advocates the concentration of great power into one body, the strength of any warrior who has been trained in the school is not much different.
Unless the difference in strength is too great and forms an absolute crushing advantage, it would be a dream to integrate the family.
I haven’t seen it, even for powerful organizations like Tianxiahui and Wushuang City in Fengyun, once the leader is not strong enough, it may cause strong backlash.
Not to mention, there may not be much difference in martial arts and strength within the family.
There are a large number of libraries, as well as merit points and contributions that can be exchanged for practice resources. No matter who wants to monopolize martial arts resources, it is impossible.
If he was really that awesome, Wu Dong wouldn't mind having a heart-to-heart talk with him and would keep him by his side for a while.
It is a matter of fact whether the subordinate children sent by the big family will follow the family's arrangements once they become powerful.
Don't think that there is harmony within the aristocratic family. The involution will only become more serious.
The distribution of resources between direct children and direct children, between direct children and collateral children, and between collateral children and collateral children will never be fair and just.
If you can get a better living environment because of the protection of your family, then it doesn't matter, and you will even try your best to protect your family's interests.
But if the existence of the family has little impact on one's own survival and development, who would care whether the family can survive?
The reason is that simple. Before Wagang Army has a complete and unique talent training system, the so-called family basically cannot escape the end of falling apart.
This is the general trend. Unless the Wagang Army suddenly collapses, the whole world will be like this after the Wagang Army sweeps the world.
What about the aristocratic family?
If you cannot adapt, the final result will not be much better.
On the contrary, if you are willing to actively adapt to the new rules and occupy a position before the Wagang Army completely sweeps the world, life will be quite easy in the future.
Regardless of whether they understand these things or not, the aristocratic families in the Wagang military area cannot be pretentious. They must either pack up their bags and get out, or they must honestly adapt to the new rules and living environment.
Otherwise, no matter whether you are a century-old family or a thousand-year-old family, you will inevitably collapse quickly in the end...
