The more suffering there is, the more it should be the era when thinkers appear. The so-called misfortune of the country and the luck of the poet are the same. In these 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 bloodline rule of "Shiqing Shilu" was broken through, the awarding of military merits has a long history. After the emergence of the awarding of military merits, 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 can be said to be the first powerful army in the Warring States Period. After that, various countries implemented reforms one after another, among which Qin's reforms were the most thorough. The conferment of generals and titles was extended to the whole country, and eventually it became the division 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 or hangers-on. In fact, they were equivalent to dog-headed military advisors. They just waited for the opportunity to use their talents to gain rewards and complete the transition, but it was very difficult. But it's easy to build military merit in battles, as long as your limbs are sound.

In the Han Dynasty, no one wanted to go to war, but the country still had to operate and could not do without talents, so there was a system of inspecting and promoting filial piety and integrity, which was to select talents by local governments. Naturally, there was no problem at the beginning, because it was a small government and a big place at the beginning, and there were kings with different surnames and kings with the same surname. But it obviously didn't work after the Han Dynasty completed the complete unification. However, the imperial examination system did make the Han Dynasty rich in talents. The fact that one or two top talents emerged from every place during the Three Kingdoms period shows that this system worked very well.

In the chaotic era of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system was developed on the basis of the examination of filial piety and integrity, in which central officials went to the local areas to find talents and divided them into nine grades. But later it became a clan system, where knowledge was monopolized by clans and talents were monopolized.

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 conferment of military honors can shine brightly in the era of territorial expansion, it is very likely to become a serious problem in peacetime, leading to corruption, leading to the defeat of the superior, and so on.

Although Eldia and Marais are advancing in technology now, 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 was a scholar, if he wanted to seek refuge with the nobility, he must have a beautiful rhetoric, and the level of the scholar was higher than that of the nobility. But in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were no noble sons from poor families, and education was completely controlled by the clans. The clans had a prominent background and monopolized education, and they were simply able to control the sky with one hand. As long as they considered their own family, their level did not need to be too high.

The same is true for Eldia, so the imperial examination is required.

Dulan looked at this group of young people in the training corps and felt deeply that the country's problems were serious. It was a stagnant water in peacetime, and in wartime, the top and bottom suppressed the top. Changes were needed.

"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 have to know that even if you rank in the top ten in training, you can only freely choose a corps to join, and you will start from the grassroots, and you don't know when you will be able to stand out. But the militia corps directly let them serve as officials? That would be great.

"What exam?"

"Of course it's a cultural test. Not only do you need to be able to pass it, 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 Come take 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 class was 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 goes 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.

These young people had no chance to come into contact with it, and it could even be said that even princes and generals would not learn things. Now Dulan has stuffed them into their minds. Many people's brains have been shut down and they cannot learn at all. If they were not officials, they would not be exempted from this crime.

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 in the past, when he read books, he only knew that there were flaming rivers, frozen plains, flying sand lands, and endless Waters, but do not want to think that there are intangible and unimaginable things beyond these tangible and imaginable worlds.

It’s too abstract, too difficult to learn, and too interesting. Armin was absorbing knowledge like a sponge, and his two friends were just foils. Mikasa sat there blankly, wandering, and Eren had already dozed off. He just wanted to expel the giants, and Duran's class was obviously It doesn't help him drive away the giants, so he doesn'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 and that’s it.

Expelling the giants is a top priority for individuals who hate giants, but it is only a minor matter for human society as a whole. Solving human problems will naturally unify ideologies, unite forces, inspire human beings to be unafraid of sacrifice, and drive away giants.

These are things that Eren cannot see, but Armin is learning. He understands that exorcising the Titans is not a matter of relying on a few corps, but that everyone must contribute. Scientists need to develop technology, farmers need to grow more food, senior officials need to correct their attitudes, and all levels of society need to unify their thinking.

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 want to have fun and are still suppressing the development of science and technology, and managers at all levels are in intrigues. It's a complete mess. Unless we pray for the emergence of a final decisive weapon, how can we solve the problem? They couldn't give an answer.

Many two-dimensional works seem very naive because they never consider the issue of organization and only hope that a final weapon will appear to solve all problems. But in fact, organizational power is the real killer weapon. Using talent selection and ideology to twist the entire society into a rope is the most powerful weapon.

Why were the giants never expelled? It's not because the giants are too powerful, but because society has no organizational power and the whole society doesn't think about expelling the giants. If the whole society thinks about expelling giants, then giants without intelligence are no match for malicious humans.
