The first step in Nitocris’ reform is legislation.
In the past, Egyptian law was still customary law, and its interpretation was in the hands of judges. Most judges were born into nobles, so they could use this power to seek benefits for the nobles.
Nitocris changed the original rules and formulated a written code. It has clear and standardized laws and regulations, and needs to be announced to the world and known to everyone.
Although due to the reasons of the times, even under such laws, Nitocris had to maintain the superior status of the nobles to a certain extent. However, with the written clockwork, the nobles could not play with the law arbitrarily. To a certain extent, it was true that Protecting the interests of the people is a great example of good governance.
This code, known as the"Code of Nitocris", was a pioneer not only in Egypt, but also in the entire world. It was later called the first relatively complete written code in history.
After formulating the code, in order to promote it smoothly, Nitocris arranged it as part of the bureaucratic examination. All people participating in the examination must study the code, and those who want to become judges must be extremely familiar with it. Only those who are familiar with it can do it. At the same time, she arranged for people to carve the code on stone pillars. Every city and larger village must have such stone pillars. Soon, the code was promoted throughout Egypt.
As a result, Nitocris had another"Son of Anubis""、"The title"Incarnation of Maat" - Maat is the Egyptian goddess of justice and truth, and is often the guideline for ancient Egyptians to restrain their behavior; while Anubis is the god of death in the underworld and is responsible for weighing the scales of judgment. , with the feathers of Maat on one side and the heart of the deceased on the other, Anubis used it to judge the good and evil of the deceased during his lifetime.
Such a title shows that the Egyptians have great respect for the Pharaoh and the"Code of Nitocris" recognition.
Of course, in addition to the law, Ye Ting attaches great importance to Egypt's business, economy and finance.
Born in modern times, he understands that if you control the country's economy, you control the country.
As a result, Egypt's coinage rights were completely taken back State-owned, and based on the name of Nitocris and her private gold reserves, the first bank in Egypt was established.
This bank was called the"Royal Bank of Egypt" and was the private property of the pharaoh.
After that , and the bank began minting coins.
The new Egyptian standard gold coins have the image of the female pharaoh Nitocris on the front, and the image of the royal palace on the back - originally Nitocris wanted to print Ye Ting's head on it. But under Ye Ting's strong opposition, the matter was settled: Just kidding, if his image of an Oriental appears on ancient Egyptian gold coins, future archaeologists will go crazy. In addition to gold coins, Ye Ting also asked banks to Large amounts of"banknotes" were issued"——Or"golden ticket""——On the one hand, it is used to replace large transactions, and on the other hand, it is also a means of controlling money. When all the money in a person's hand is in the hands of the Pharaoh's bank, then he has to obey the Pharaoh's orders, otherwise the gold ticket will be invalid.
Of course, with the current technology, banknotes such as gold tickets are a problem, but this is not a problem for Ye Ting. Following the method of Gringotts in the Harry Potter world, a gold coin and gold ticket are issued with Anti-counterfeiting contract magic, if you are not a professional, even the most powerful mage can't use this kind of magic.
As time went by, both people and officials were happy to deposit their property in banks, and businessmen were also happy to lend money to them.
What's more, Egyptian gold coins and gold tickets gradually spread to other neighboring countries, gradually replacing the original currencies of nearby countries with their high-quality appearance and anti-counterfeiting capabilities.
All believed in Pharaoh's credibility.
However, the credibility of the Pharaoh can be trusted, but the integrity of the bank cannot be trusted.
Gold coins are made of gold and cannot be cast arbitrarily, but gold tickets are different. As the wealth of Egypt is deposited in banks, the bank's gold reserves are getting higher and higher, but the total number of gold tickets circulating on the market is gold. Several times the value, the difference is naturally the stamp duty unknowingly collected by the bank - of course, for Egypt's neighboring countries, this can also be regarded as an IQ tax.
They are still ignorant about business and have no idea how Egypt has unknowingly misappropriated their assets.
They never thought about what they would do if Nitocris found an excuse to announce that the golden tickets in their hands could not be cashed.
In short, the emergence of the bank has given Egyptians great convenience, and for Nitocris, the existence of the bank has made her money several times easier than the original basis. With the bank, she can finally make it And what the pharaohs of all ages have dreamed of doing: freeing up their hands and feet to engage in construction.
When it comes to being a foreman and doing construction, every pharaoh in Egypt was very keen on it.
This includes Nile River water conservancy, urban construction and infrastructure that benefit the country and the people, as well as private buildings such as royal palaces and pharaoh's tombs (pyramids).
Perhaps this has been engraved in the genes of the pharaohs. As a pharaoh, Nitocris also had an extraordinary desire to build large buildings, although she also cared about the people.
The first thing to start construction was the entire Egyptian water conservancy system.
The various water conservancy and agricultural measures pioneered by Ye Ting in the past allowed Memphis' grain production to increase dramatically within a few years. It could not only supply the local area, but also be sold to other Nomes at that time. It was with this foundation that Nito Only Kris could build up an elite and powerful army within a few years to reunify Egypt.
Now, as long as this is implemented throughout Egypt, the Egyptians will soon become rich in food and will not need to worry about food.
Getting out of the food crisis is important for Egypt's prosperity.
While establishing the water conservancy system, the top priority is to expand Memphis.
As the capital of Egypt, although after the Great Trial, the aristocratic bureaucrats who occupied the best areas of Memphis were emptied out, the aristocrats who moved to Memphis from all over the country after the unification of Egypt, coupled with the merchants from all over Egypt, were destroyed due to the war. Displaced people, etc., caused the population of Memphis to surge to hundreds of thousands, and the entire city had to face huge population pressure.
Not to mention how busy the garrison maintaining order was, the crowded slums were the biggest headache for Nitocris now.
Not to mention, as the great pharaoh who made Egypt prosperous again, many people believe that today's Memphis and the palace in it are no longer worthy of Nitocris.
So the vigorous project construction began. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
