Chapter 2533 Even More Terrifying
The final decisive battle weapon can be said to be the most common setting in the second dimension. Using one weapon to decide the outcome of the war and reverse the lack of comprehensive strength can be said to be the ultimate wish of a small country and few people. After all, one weapon plus a high school student The cost of such a victory is simply too low.
It is obviously not a reasonable idea to try to use the final weapon to solve the war and hope to maintain the advantage of industry over agriculture. Unfortunately, war is not that simple. The most demanding thing is organizational strength.
And how is organizational power formed? In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Mohist school had explosive organizational power. Mozi proposed that organizational power mainly lies in the two aspects of system and ideology.
The two complement each other, and then Legalism proposed the carrot and the stick as a way to maintain the system and ideology.
If Duran wanted to stimulate the organizational power of the giant world, he would naturally do the same.
Some people may ask why Tulan did not choose the Western university system. Universities can cultivate many different disciplines. However, talents cultivated by the university system actually cost a lot of money. The openness and inclusiveness of universities depends on finance. The talents that depend on universities are not cultivated for the central government, but for local powerful people.
During the colonial period, national finance became the main source of universities. However, after the colonial period, the finance of universities mainly came from donations from powerful countries. So how could the talents trained by these universities be given priority to the central government? It must be the center who is strong first and then picks the rest.
The imperial examination is based on the unification of the central empire. Most of the cost of the imperial examination is paid by the state. Naturally, the selected talents are directly selected by the state. Only then can we have the imperial dream of "being a farmer in the morning and ascending to the emperor's hall in the evening".
The university system is based on a large amount of financial revenue and regional power. Of course, the university system is very inclusive and can have different disciplines. But again, multi-discipline naturally costs more money, either through colonial exploitation or from donors, and also through high tuition fees, the kind of high tuition fees that bankrupt ordinary families.
And graduating from college does not mean that you have completed the transition. You can also become a disciple of the nobility.
The imperial examination is still the most advanced channel for class circulation, but what is tested in the imperial examination is very important. Now the content of Dulan's teaching is not the eight-part essay, but the real knowledge that makes people reflect, making them realize that the world is actually wrong. There are bigger problems than giants that remain unsolved.
It’s just that the giant is a visible problem, but the problems within the empire are invisible.
Inspired by being an official, the ambitious trainees are working hard to keep up with Dulan's pace and study the content taught by Dulan.
The first step is to understand the problem and its organizational structure.
We cannot say that Wengcheng has a garrison and gendarmerie regiment, and the public security is pretty good, while ignoring the civilians in the vast backward areas. These people even became bandits because they couldn't survive, and the poor and remote villages were forced to have no way out by exorbitant taxes.
In fact, the crime rate in the city is not low, but many crimes are concentrated in the caves of the underground city. That dark place hides dirt and evil, but the people of the empire are out of sight and out of mind, as if the underground city does not exist.
No one has ever thought that these oppressed people are really in need of help. Everyone just focuses on the giants. Why is this?
Yes, why?
Today they were going to listen to Dulan's answer to this question. Duran said, "I wonder if you have ever participated in a religion?" Some people have participated, because after the wall was broken, the City Wall Cult developed. The religion worshiped the city wall and believed that the city wall Is the only patron saint. Some trainees have participated in religious activities with their parents.
"There are some, then you should find that the words of care for each other said by believers during religious activities are very false, but the complaints and complaints are extremely real." Duran said.
It felt true. Many children who had participated in religious activities nodded and felt that Dulan was right. Only complaints were sincere.
"Why does this phenomenon occur? Why do you think that saying good things is fake and complaining is real? In fact, it is a very simple reason, because complaining is something you have experienced, and it naturally comes from the heart, while saying good things, such as asking for world peace, Such good words have never been done or experienced, so they will naturally feel false. This is the gap between empty words and experience. "Now back to the previous question, why do everyone only focus on giants? Shouldn't they do something within their power to change the status quo? Because complaining to giants doesn't require them to do anything or pay anything, but if it takes effort to change the mistakes around them, they may not get results. That's the problem. The root cause. Human beings like low-cost ways of venting, rather than high-cost attempts to change. "Dulan said: "Let me tell you another joke. A reporter went to interview a farmer and asked him if he was willing to support the refugees at the Maria Wall. Do something. The reporter asked if you had one million dollars, would you donate it to the refugees? The reporter asked again, if you had one hundred carts of food, would you donate it to the refugees? The reporter finally asked, So if you have a cow, are you willing to open up wasteland for the refugees? The old farmer immediately shook his head and said no. The reporter didn't understand. If he was willing to give one million or one hundred carts of grain, why would he not be willing to give it to the refugees? Because he really has a cow."
Everyone gradually understood the problem, which was that humans were unwilling to pay the cost of change, so they chose to make empty promises.
So everyone is naturally led to blame the giants, hate the giants, vent their dissatisfaction, and fantasize that everything will be fine if the giants disappear, but they don’t look at the people around them who need help, and don’t lend a hand to change those who are oppressed.
"No, the giants are the enemies of mankind. The giants eat people." Allen stood up excitedly. His mother was eaten.
"Giant eats people? You don't know that tyranny is more terrible than giants, and you don't know that in the 100-year history of the empire, more people died because of tyranny than were eaten by giants. Ask yourself, are giants really scary? Humans have three-dimensional mobility and know the weaknesses of giants. A teenager like you only needs one year of training to kill a giant. On the other hand, you not only don't kill those who implement tyranny, but also join them. Which one do you think is more terrible?"
Even the homecoming trio nodded secretly. They thought of Marley and the oppression of the Marley system, but they not only did not resist but also wanted to become honorary Marleyans...
Alan was very excited. He felt that Duran was diverting attention. The giant ate his mother, and he must first eliminate the giant: "The giant is the enemy of mankind."
"Young man, sit down. You can't get rid of the giants or the tyranny just by passion. We have to fight. Whether it's killing giants or playing landlords, we need to have reasons and evidence. We need theories, rules and means, otherwise nothing can be done. So don't get excited now. I'm just imparting knowledge. It's up to you to decide whether to join the Survey Corps or the Militia Corps."
