Wei was the first to propose that "you can make contributions by eating hard" instead of "relatives, friends" and "contributions" as reward standards. In fact, it already has the nature of a military knight. Wu Qi's political reform in Chu, "the descendants of the monarch were knighted for the third time, and a hundred officials were decided to be demoted", and then the demotion was used to "select people who practice", which also had the characteristics of the military knighthood system. Qin is the most thorough country that implements the military title system. The system of Wu Jue in Qin Dynasty is the most typical and has the greatest influence on that time and later generations. The records in the history books of military titles can be seen from Shang Yang's political reform, which is also the most clear and important political and military move of Qin Guoqiang in the six eastern countries.

Therefore, these systems cannot be called bureaucratic systems, but the political system of the country.
