Chapter 261: The Final Countdown to Elves and Related Thoughts(1/2)
Chapter 261 The final countdown to elfization and related thoughts
When food is no longer scarce, when labor is no longer in short supply, and when the number of witch doctors is no longer limited, a new era will naturally come.
However, just as every stage in the old era had its own problems that must be overcome, the new era also has new problems that need to be faced.
At present, how to form a new balance within the Republic based on the overall advantages of the tree elves due to their qualifications will be the most unavoidable and difficult to deal with the "citizenship" issue.
At least from a short-term perspective, trolls will still be the main force in the "population" of the Republic;
Even if we zoom out a little further and focus on the mid-term scale of tens or nearly hundreds of years, there is still a gap between the acquired elves such as "pure warriors" and "war witches" transformed from trolls, and the innate tree-born elves.
There are differences that can be exploited.
In such a situation, pure mechanical balance will inevitably make the status of the tree elves higher and higher, and at the same time, there will also be a lot of resentment over time;
However, if a flexible soft balance is applied, there are also complications in scale control. If you are not careful, the tree elves will suffer from "policy discrimination" due to too good qualifications.
At this stage, the number of trolls who are the cornerstone of the former is about 67,000, and there are still about 300 new ones every year. If calculated based on the ten-year cycle of the birth of the tree elves, there are about 3,000 new ones added every cycle.
Remain;
Looking at the tree elves again, the current number of people is 2001, and the number of new people per cycle is 1000.
Three thousand versus one thousand, the former has an advantage in the short term, but from the perspective of expected changes in new numbers, the result is exactly the opposite.
After becoming an elf, the time required for natural gestation is twice as long as the tree growth cycle in the embryonic stage alone.
The most critical factor is actually the birth of tree elves;
The existence of a batch of tree-born elves that are born every ten years makes the previous model no longer appropriate, and as time continues to go by, things like "witch doctor qualifications" have a tendency to become more widespread.
The most important thing now is to use this as a basis to clarify and implement the spiritual and intellectual equal status of all citizens within the country, and to strive to achieve equality of opportunity in the social division of labor.
The qualification for meritorious service has been temporarily set at a level greater than or equal to the 'Fourth Class Grand River Medal'.
In the future, as an extraordinary professional witch doctor, it may be just one of many labels on citizens, and its holders will not be the same as warriors, scholars, war witches, traders, etc. in terms of personality.
What essential differences arise between
Looking at the latter, due to the birth of two new mother trees, the number of new additions will inevitably equalize or even surpass it after one or two cycles. With the capture of more advanced creatures in the future, the gap will also increase irreversibly.
trend.
The determination of academic qualifications is temporarily set as a Central School graduation, or a knowledge reserve level equivalent to the Central School graduation level;
Among them, the former is the average level of the new generation when they enter society. Every troll must pass the assessment and be allowed to leave school after receiving a certificate.
Among them, in addition to some long-term and fundamental attempts, in the short term it is mainly aimed at those tree elves.
Similarly, even if the individual is not a witch doctor, as long as he has made certain contributions to the ethnic group and passed the corresponding academic assessment, he will be qualified to become a member of the parliament.
As mentioned before, the difference between ‘acquired spirits’ and ‘innate spirits’, as well as the resulting equality of various elements of citizenship, is one example of this.
It is true that the witch doctors overcame obstacles for the tribe to embark on the road to civilization during the wilderness period, and made contributions that cannot be ignored, but this does not mean that they should always have exclusive helmsmanship.
This trend cannot be countered without the use of force;
The result of using force is likely to make all existing efforts in vain.
At that time, equality will no longer exist, fairness will no longer exist, and the country that has finally emerged from the wilderness will become a primitive society in another sense, covered with a layer of civilization and driven by force.
For example, among the various races on the mainland, the superior ones have usurped most of the rights by force and have monopolized most of the knowledge, while the inferior ones eat the resources leaked from the fingers of the superior ones and have to be grateful all day long.
The country belonging to the Black Forest is diverse now and will be diverse in the future. Among the people there are warriors, traders, scholars and other different identities. They have faded away from the wilderness and gradually have enough knowledge to support their own judgment.
Knowledge does not need and should no longer need a certain group of people to take care of them like they treat babies.
The disadvantaged ethnic groups are truly in a layer of hell, oppressed by various sovereign races above and oppressed by their superiors in the middle. The people at the bottom have no status and no way to rise;
The judgment that can be made at the moment is that even if the number of new additions on both sides varies, both will be an indispensable part of society for at least the next five to six hundred years, or even longer.
.
In a sense, this change has opened a small gap in the era of "Witch Doctor Tutoring". From then on, more compatriots will surely enter the wheelhouse with different identities and jointly participate in the progress of the Republic.
In making decisions about direction;
As for the good and bad
Since society is jointly constructed by multiple units, its subsequent direction should naturally be reached by multiple units through mutual compromise;
But the situation here is different from it. Let alone backlash, the country has not even shown any signs of dissatisfaction. The people are still at a very high level towards the witch doctors and the Rune Council controlled by the witch doctors.
Trust level.
As for concerns about efficiency and so on, the witch doctors feel that now that they have a certain ability to protect themselves, this is not the first thing that should be considered in the development of the country.
Some things are clearly reflected in Freya. The little girl inexplicably became a member of the Rune Parliament while she was in school without making any contribution to the Republic and without having any awareness of it herself;
Therefore, they made concessions to the future and decided to "progressively diversify the Rune Council" and "desanctify the witch doctor profession";
And we are preparing to control the process through this independent change before possible backlash that cannot be suppressed without the use of force.
And this is especially true now, after "citizenship" was formally proposed. This approach is completely out of date.
Think about it.
In the next few years, the first thousand tree elves will gradually become witch doctors;
The second batch of thousands of tree elves are also in their respective teenage stages of growth at this time;
This decision was not the result of Nesta's vigorous promotion, but a conclusion jointly completed and agreed by the vast majority of witch doctors. They did not feel worried about the gains and losses due to this change.
As of now, only a very small number of non-witch doctor groups such as Big Tusk can use this rule to enter the parliament. However, diluted by a larger number of witch doctors, their opinions cannot have any substantial impact.
.
Therefore, just as the membership qualifications of soldiers have been opened up, the career paths of future generations of witch doctors will no longer be limited to scientific research and parliament, but they will be free to join the army or do other things according to their interests.
With the number of new additions on both sides showing such an ebb and flow, the number of tree-born elves will equalize with the acquired elves in about 30 cycles, or even shorter, and will achieve rapid growth in the following time.
Go ahead and truly become the mainstream in the social structure.
Of course, certain limitations still exist.
In principle, public positions such as government officials, active military personnel, members of the Law Office, members of the Tribunal, members of the Rune Council, and other social service positions are not allowed to hold part-time jobs. Any individual can and can only have one of these identities.
This model is actually somewhat similar to Nesta’s previous ‘royal cabinet’ in the late Qing Dynasty. However, the backlash faced by the upper class in the late Qing Dynasty has formed an unstoppable momentum like a wave under the influence of various factors;
And controlling the ‘balance’ between them must be something that society must face as it develops.
As for the latter, they are full of slavish thoughts, teaching them obedience and contentment.
When the knowledge is filtered through layers of layers and finally reaches their hands, only the lowest production-related content is left, which is mediocre in terms of individual strength and philosophy.
Second, Juya and a few other warriors have qualified for seat evaluation due to their respective merits.
Therefore, the decision made by the witch doctors is only to prepare for the future and to explore "citizenship" and "human" equality;
Therefore, under this background, each prime-age interest school has gradually acquired the ability to cultivate professional talents. In terms of cultivating comprehensive talents, it also has a stable cooperative relationship with the central school;
But unlike interest schools for the prime of life, which are compulsory for all people to choose subjects under the policy of Shangfeng, the latter are more about giving opportunities. But even the old generation trolls, as long as he has the mind to make progress, as a comprehensive
The Central School of Sex Education will completely open its doors, allowing them to have the same learning opportunities as the new generation and get exactly the same diploma.
After several generations of reproduction, the former will naturally disappear completely, and the disputes that arise based on the differences between the two will end without a problem.
Of course, small changes also exist;
Undoubtedly, this is by no means a healthy way of dividing power.
Not to mention, the third and fourth batches will be born one after another;
Under the new tone, 'witch doctor' is no longer a necessary and sufficient condition for becoming a member of the parliament. Only by meeting the restrictions of both merit and knowledge can an individual be qualified to become a member of the parliament.
Soldiers can become parliamentarians, sergeants, and members of the ruling government, and the same can be said for witch doctors.
However, Freya still felt a little aggrieved after what belonged to her was suddenly deprived of her;
Fortunately, there were many predecessors who were willing to enlighten her, so after learning from the experience, she held back her energy and devoted herself more fully to the task of developing engineering engines.
Of course, this kind of change cannot be carried out quickly, and it has only just begun to "end the tutelage";
That is to say
Even if the individual is a witch doctor, if he or she has not made any contribution to the ethnic group, he will no longer naturally enjoy a seat on the Rune Council;
This kind of diversification attempt at the level of a "royal cabinet" is not only completely feasible for today's country, but will also make the people feel flattered.
Therefore, the number of new additions in the former will inevitably decrease year by year, and may even be reduced to 0 in the end.
After this change, the current structure of the Rune Council will not undergo major changes in the short or even medium term, because the dozens of existing members have basically obtained the qualifications for coordination through long-term research.
Those powerful tribes among them are okay, since there are enslaved tribes below to support them;
While facing many hidden dangers and difficulties, they realized that this seemed to be the best opportunity to make changes for the Rune Council, for the witch doctors as a whole, and even for the country.
And in the further future, once the mother tree with the advanced salamander as the core passes the verification of elf cultivation, the number of tree elves that can be born in each batch will increase exponentially than now.
Therefore, as the progress of elvenization of the entire population increases, the already low desire of females to have children may become even more sluggish than it is now.
The old trolls will be re-energized in this process. Judging only from the current cell observation, it is possible for them to live out the extreme difference in racial lifespan before and after evolution;
Not to mention the rest of the trolls who have completed their advancement in their prime. Based on rough calculations based on cell activity and the number of times they can divide, they should all be able to live for at least four to five hundred years, or even around six hundred years.
To be continued...
