God of the Universe Begins with Harry Potter

This bizarre assassination and various rumors among the people put a lot of psychological pressure on them, making these guys worry about gains and losses all day long, for fear that they would also be retaliated and assassinated by such a strange method.

So these few days, there are many such officials kneeling at the gate of the palace, loudly confessing their sins, and begging Nitocris for mercy.

Their actions naturally attracted the attention of the people, and their self-reports served as corroboration, confirming the authenticity of the "rumor".

Ye Ting believed that other officials probably hated these pig teammates.

Until now, Nitocris has become the general trend, and after that, she is the last general.

Chapter 0833

Another fine morning.

In the city of Memphis, people gathered in the square near the gate of the palace early in the morning.

According to a notice from the palace a few days ago, since several high-ranking officials in Egypt died as a result of divine punishment (yes, Nitocris simply put a coffin on the matter), the pharaoh believed that it was all because of the gods For the current dissatisfaction in Egypt, in order to solve this dissatisfaction, she decided to appoint and remove officials and priests at the gate of the palace and in front of the people.

Those who are not recognized by the people cannot get those vacant positions.

In this regard, the people of Memphis are extremely excited.

After all, such a thing has never happened in the past.

The appointment and dismissal of so-called officials and temple priests were originally gluttonous feasts that only those from the upper classes could participate in.

How can the fart people be involved in such a division of power and interests?

But today is different. The people finally have the opportunity to participate in it. Although it is just a suggestion, it cannot really decide the real candidate, but it also proves that the pharaoh respects the people.

Pharaoh Nitocris, what a good pharaoh.

If someone they recognized was in high position, he would definitely be able to cooperate sincerely with Pharaoh and change the chaotic situation in Egypt today.

With this idea in mind, the people gathered here early, looking forward to what happened next.

And what did the officials think about Nitocris' decision?

There is panic, there is opposition, there is disdain, there is ridicule, and so on.

Those who are frightened and opposed to this decision are often those who are arrogant when they are successful, those ministers who are more unscrupulous after they have power, and who have not very good reputations.

Some of these people with some power will often buy and sell by force, rob people's women, eat overlord's meals, and even worse, they will wantonly fish and meat the people, putting some people who offend him in prison, and eventually reduced to slaves...

Such persons naturally have no advantage in this situation, and if they want to fill the vacant office, they are bound to receive widespread opposition.

In other words, Nitocris's decision blocked the way for them to gain power.

Of course, there are also some unlucky guys, who are obviously more competent, but they are also likely to lose the opportunity for promotion.

Such people are often judges, tax officials and the like.

Judges have never been welcome people for Doosan, and tax officials are even more hated—especially businessmen.

It doesn't matter if they are competent again.

Of course, those who welcomed Nitocris' decision were not really conscientious officials.

It's those guys who are thoughtful and know how to pretend.

These people are often more hateful than those with a bad reputation on the surface, because they seem to be good people on the surface, but because they are not noticed, they can do some worse things - such as controlling gangs, such as bribery and corruption Corruption, such as some more terrible business.

Since these people are not bad people on the surface, at least they won't be opposed by the people - however, no one knows how they can never make extra money to save a family property that can't be supported by their salary alone.

In the eyes of these people, Nitocris's decision is like telling them to their face that the rights left by these dead dignitaries are yours.

The ridicule, of course, was aimed at Nitocris's whims.

In their view, Nitocris's attempt to use her prestige among the common people to interfere with the promotion of officials was indeed a good move. After all, although her own power was emptied, few high-ranking officials would obey her orders.

But her prestige among the people is extremely huge, and the influence of the people will directly affect the army-you must know that most of the Memphis army was born in the people of Memphis and nearby villages. In this era, except for some elite professional armies, it is impossible for all garrison troops to be composed of people thousands of miles away from home.

With the current social system in Egypt, it is impossible to support as many professional soldiers as in modern times. Even in Memphis, most soldiers are only semi-professional soldiers or conscripts.

And Nitocris, who has grasped the people, naturally means that she has grasped this group of troops by drawing salaries from the bottom of the pot. In this way, even if no officials obey her orders, but now they can only temporarily compromise with her, obey her, and let her to determine the distribution of supreme power.

But so what?

These officials deeply know that even if Nitocris has the power to control the promotion channels, under the current circumstances, if all potential competitors are not her people, what is the difference between having such power and not having such power? ?

The Egypt of today is not the Egypt of the past.

After decades of corruption under the rule of Pharaoh Pepi, the entire Egyptian bureaucracy has completely deteriorated.

Except for the grassroots bureaucrats who still ignorantly uphold their loyalty to the pharaoh, those bureaucrats with a certain status, without exception, have become the vested interests of the pharaoh's power.

Today's Egypt has long since changed from the original feudal king system to a system similar to the senate and the aristocratic parliament. Under this system, the pharaoh is only a human skin stamp, and all the people below are in one accord, so that the pharaoh's orders cannot go out of the palace.

Who does Nitocris assign supreme power to in this case, does it make a difference?

Any candidate would want to run her off anyway, wouldn't they?

It is impossible for her to directly choose a commoner to be in a high position - not to mention whether such a decision can convince the public, ordinary people simply cannot afford this responsibility.

Of course, in this process, it is still possible for her to arrange one or two of her own people in those vacant positions. After all, in today's Egyptian bureaucracy, there are still a small number of ministers who are finally pharaohs and traditional ministers.

After all, unlike the previous pharaohs, Nitocris has mastered a powerful hidden power, able to achieve sharp assassinations, and attract the common people and the grassroots army, so it is right for her to restore some of her power.

However, it all ends here.
