God of the Universe Begins with Harry Potter

Although the knowledge of mathematics, agriculture, geography, organization and scheduling, etc. is widely circulated in Egypt, it is the first time that they have summarized them in this way and published them in the form of books for people to learn.

In the past, such knowledge was either spread among the nobles or among the priests, and it was difficult for the common people to acquire such knowledge.

The monopoly of knowledge was also one of the means by which nobles and priests maintained their status.

But now, these "dragon-slaying techniques" (of course only for officials) have been circulated, and countless people have regarded them as the standard, and the authors of these works will inevitably be praised to the sky.

In the past, when the nobles were dominant in the court, any decree that weakened the power of the nobles and harmed their interests would be unanimously opposed by them. When the nobles all opposed a decree, the decree would naturally not be implemented. In the time of Pharaoh Pepi, the noble officials controlled the government step by step in this way, and stole the pharaoh.

However, now Nitocris has built up another force besides the nobles. Coupled with the strength of the army, under the three-way check and balance, the nobles naturally cannot act arbitrarily.

As for the powerful and terrifying official position of "Supervisor of the State," the officials of the civilian faction—maybe in the future, those civilians who have obtained official positions because of exams—are naturally happy to see it. In their eyes, Ye Ting was someone on their side, speaking for their benefit, and many of them even called him a "mentor".

The aristocrats expressed concern about this, believing that the "Great Sage overseeing the country" was too powerful. If he deliberately suppressed them, the future of the nobles would be quite worrying.

However, it turned out that their worries were nonsense. Although Ye Ting held great power, he was quite Buddhist. Although he fully participated in the construction of the Nitocris New Deal, he never intervened in practice.

All in all, that's it, when all the struggles and efforts were fruitless, Ye Ting "expressed" his "goodwill" to the nobles.The opposition of the Egyptian nobles to him gradually calmed down.

At the same time, under Ye Ting's suggestion, the new Pharaoh's Imperial Guard was successfully formed with the heroes of the unification war as the core, and the rest of the former Pharaoh's Imperial Guard were transferred to various parts of Egypt to serve as officers of the guards in various places.

As for the Egyptian officialdom, after confirming that the populist faction has become a general trend, the nobles no longer have the idea of ​​confronting them head-on. At the same time, the remaining local nobles and the nobles who have poured in from other places have also reached the goal after a fierce power struggle. After a compromise, several parties confronted each other in the official arena, and the bureaucracy was already established.

By the way, in addition to the civilian bureaucracy, the aristocratic bureaucracy, the army and the priests, a new force has recently risen in the Egyptian high-level - the magician.

In the eyes of others, these mages who have mastered supernatural power are the most unprovokable beings, while another priest who masters supernatural power is quite incompatible with the mages. The priests think that the power of the mages is blasphemy, and magic The teachers felt that the priests were a bunch of old-fashioned antiquities.

However, in terms of power, although magicians are powerful, they are detached enough. Under Ye Ting's teaching, most of them gradually embarked on the same path as other mages - pursuing truth and wisdom.

In this way, they rarely interfere in the affairs of the state, which naturally makes the officials and the army very satisfied. However, they are also ardent supporters of the pharaoh, and their loyalty to their teacher Ye Ting and the powerful magic queen Nitocris far exceeds that of them. The other factions are a powerful force that maintains the pharaoh's rule.

In short, today's Egyptian court has changed from the accumulated disadvantages of the past, and has become a situation of multi-party competition, which is also the most favorable situation for the Pharaoh's rule.

Under Ye Ting's suggestion, Nitocris took advantage of various contradictions to firmly grasp the power of Egypt. In addition, she reorganized the world and revived Egypt's prestige. In terms of power, at this time, she has probably reached the level of the pharaohs of all dynasties. The peak, and Nitocris also seized this opportunity and began to carry out drastic reforms in Egypt.

Chapter 0857 Codes and Banks

The first step in Nitocris' reform is legislation.

In the past, Egyptian law was customary, and its interpretation was in the hands of judges.Most of the judges were born among the nobles, so they can use this right to seek benefits for the nobles.

Nitocris, on the other hand, changed the original example and formulated a written code, which has clear and standardized laws, and needs to be announced to the world and known to the public.

Although due to the reasons of the times, even in such a law, Nitocris had to maintain the superior status of the nobility to a certain extent, but with the written clockwork, the nobility could not play with the law arbitrarily. To a certain extent, it is true Protecting the interests of the people is a remarkable good governance.

This code, known as the "Code of Nitocris", not only in Egypt, but also in the whole world for a while, and later generations are called the first relatively complete written code in history.

After the code was formulated, in order to promote it smoothly, Nitocris arranged it in the content of the bureaucratic examination. All those who participated in the examination had to study the code, and those who wanted to become judges had to be incomparable to it. At the same time, she arranged for someone to carve the code on stone pillars. Every city and larger village must have such stone pillars. Soon, the code was popularized throughout Egypt.

As a result, Nitocris has the titles of "Son of Anubis" and "Incarnation of Matt" - Matt is the Egyptian goddess of justice and truth, and is often the criterion for the ancient Egyptians to restrain their behavior; Anubis is the god of death in the underworld, responsible for the weighing of the scales of judgment. The scales put Matt's feathers on one side and the heart of the deceased on the other. Anubis uses this to measure the good and evil of the deceased. trial.

Such a title shows the identification of the Egyptians with the Pharaoh and the Code of Nitocris.

Of course, in addition to the law, Ye Ting attached great importance to Egypt's business, economy and finance.

Born in the modern age, he understands that if he controls the economy of a country, he controls the country.

As a result, Egypt's coinage was fully nationalized, and Egypt's first bank was established on the basis of Nitocris's name and her private gold reserves.

The bank, called the Royal Bank of Egypt, was the private property of the pharaoh.

After that, banks started minting coins.

The new Egyptian-style gold coin has the head of the female pharaoh Nitocris printed on the front and the image of the palace on the back. Originally, Nitocris wanted to have Ye Ting's head printed on it, but Ye Ting strongly opposed it. There is nothing left: Just kidding, his image of an oriental man appears on the gold coins of ancient Egypt, and future archaeologists must go crazy.

In addition to gold coins, Ye Ting also asked the bank to issue large-value "silver notes" - or "gold notes" - on the one hand to replace large-value transactions, on the other hand, it is also a means to control finance. All the money is in the hands of the Pharaoh's bank, then he has to obey the Pharaoh, otherwise the golden ticket in his hand is invalid.

Of course, in terms of current technology, the anti-counterfeiting of banknotes such as golden tickets is a problem, but this is not difficult for Ye Ting, imitating the method of Gringotts in the Harry Potter world, every issued gold coin and golden ticket Anti-counterfeiting contract magic is applied on the above, if not a professional, even the most powerful mage is difficult to crack such magic.

Over time, both commoners and officials were happy to deposit property in banks, and merchants were happy to lend to them.

What's more, Egyptian gold coins and gold tickets have gradually spread to other neighboring countries, and their high-quality appearance and anti-counterfeiting ability have gradually replaced the original currencies of neighboring countries.

All believed in the pharaoh's credit.

However, the credit of the pharaoh can be trusted, but the integrity of the bank cannot be trusted.

Gold coins are made of gold, and naturally cannot be cast arbitrarily, but gold notes are different. As the wealth of the entire Egypt is deposited in banks, the bank's gold reserves are getting higher and higher, but the total amount of gold notes circulating on the market is gold. Several times the value, the difference is naturally the stamp duty that the bank unknowingly collects - of course, for those neighboring countries of Egypt, this can also be regarded as an IQ tax.

They are still ignorant in business and have no idea how Egypt has unknowingly embezzled their assets.

They didn't even think about what they would do if Nitocris found an excuse to announce that the golden ticket in their hands could not be honored...

In short, the emergence of banks has brought great convenience to the Egyptians, and for Nitocris, the existence of banks has made her money several times looser on the original basis. With banks, she can finally make And what the pharaohs of all dynasties dreamed of doing: let go of hands and feet to build.

When it comes to foreman and construction, all the pharaohs of Egypt are very enthusiastic.

This includes the Nile water conservancy, the basic construction of urban construction that benefits the country and the people, and also includes private buildings such as palaces and Pharaoh's tombs (pyramids).

Perhaps this is already engraved in the genes of the pharaohs. As a pharaoh, Nitocris also has the people in her heart, but she also has an extraordinary desire to build large buildings.

The first construction started was the water conservancy system in the whole of Egypt.

The various water conservancy and agricultural measures pioneered by Ye Ting in the past caused the grain production in Memphis to increase sharply within a few years, which could not only be supplied locally, but also sold to other Norms at that time. Chris was able to build up an elite army within a few years to reunite Egypt.

Now, as long as this set is implemented throughout Egypt, the Egyptians will soon become rich in food, and they don't need to worry about food much.

Out of the food crisis is important for Egypt's prosperity.
