After completing the operation, Lin Ke took another deep breath.
Now, as long as he waits for the construction of the [Lighthouse] to be completed, he can build the wonder of the [Great Lighthouse] in the city of Matruh!
It won't be long before more and more Holy Egyptians realize that Matruh is a city with great potential and is being developed, and they will go there to settle down.
In addition, the [Lighthouse] can further increase the population of Matruh in the civilization panel.
And Matruh will become the gateway for Lin Ke to the "new world"! That is his new "anchor"!
Not only that, Lin Ke has now unlocked [Classical Republic] through [Political Philosophy].
That is the "political system" that Lin Ke needs now.
[Classical Republic]: All cities receive +1 housing and +1 livability.
Yes, this is perfect for Holy Egypt, which is now in a period of peace.
Not only that, an increase in population will increase the productivity of Holy Egypt, which can speed up all construction in Holy Egypt and prepare for Holy Egypt's voyages.
This can further increase the population of Holy Egypt, creating a huge gap in size between Holy Egypt and other kingdoms and civilizations.
In addition to the gains brought by the civilization panel, this will also promote Holy Egypt to enter the era of "demographic dividend" as soon as possible.
The so-called demographic dividend refers to the fact that a country's working-age population accounts for a large proportion of the total population, while the dependency ratio, that is, the ratio of the sum of children and elderly people to the working-age population, is low, thus creating a golden window of opportunity for economic development.
Simply put, if there are only two adults in a family but they have to support four elderly people and three children, the pressure will be very great.
But if there are five working young people in the family who only need to support one elderly person and one child, then the whole family can accumulate more wealth and live a wealthy life more easily.
This abundance of labor can reduce labor costs and promote the prosperity of manufacturing and exports. This is very consistent with Lin Ke’s next idea of establishing trade routes with other kingdoms and civilizations, and may even be of great help.
In addition, Holy Egypt now has extremely high food reserves, so the treasury of Holy Egypt is now very abundant.
The coming of the "demographic dividend" also means that the savings rate of families and society can be further improved, so people do not need to spend most of their income on raising children and supporting the elderly.
That means there is enough extra money to save.
The money saved will help families who were originally struggling to make ends meet, and allow their offspring to have more access to education and health resources.
For the entire Holy Egyptian society, they will become a more productive labor force in the future and even lead to the emergence of more talents.
[Classical Republic]: Gain +1 Diplomatic Favor per turn.
In addition, [Classical Republic] can also provide diplomatic support for Lin Ke.
In Civilization 6, the so-called "diplomatic support" can be understood as a kind of soft power "currency", mainly used for voting and transactions in the World Parliament.
Simply put, it represents Lin Ke's civilization, that is, the influence and voice of Holy Egypt in the international community.
The more "diplomatic support" there is, the more weight Lin Ke's voice will have.
In Civilization 6, each point of "diplomatic support" can also be exchanged for a "vote".
In the World Parliament, powerful kingdoms and civilizations will vote on certain "resolutions".
Simply put, some "resolutions" will take effect immediately on all civilizations in the world and have a huge impact.
Taking "Civilization 6" as an example, if a proposal of "all melee units +5 combat power" is put forward, Lin Ke, who is living in peacetime, will naturally cast a "vote against" it.
After all, this "proposal" will greatly strengthen those military kingdoms that are engaged in expansion and plunder, but for Lin Ke who is in peacetime, he can hardly gain any benefits.
Not only that, this will greatly increase the risks Holy Egypt faces in the future.
But if it is a proposal to "increase the production capacity of grain land by 1", then Lin Ke will definitely vote in favor of it. After all, this is very beneficial to Saint Egypt, and Saint Egypt is the beneficiary of this "proposal".
Therefore, "diplomatic support" is important.
In addition to these, what Lin Ke needs to do now is to start studying the "municipal government" of [Divine Right of Kings].
After completing the "municipal administration" of [Divine Right of Kings], Lin Ke can begin to study [Monarchy].
Because [Monarchy] allows Lin Ke to gain "+2 Diplomatic Support" every round, which can increase Lin Ke's voice in the World Conference.
At this moment, although Lin Ke looked like he was looking into the distance, in fact, he was observing the information on the civilization panel and operating it.
However, it wasn't long before he smelled something in his nose.
That's the smell of food.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh..."
Several servants carefully pushed open the door, and then more than a dozen servants and maids bowed and entered Lin Ke's bedroom.
However, they still saw Lin Ke standing in front of the window, staring into the distance.
You know, several hours have passed since the two servants left.
Lin Ke's movements didn't even change. After seeing this, the servants were even more shocked.
That means, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh actually stood at the windowsill for a long time!
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh?"
The servant hesitated for a moment, holding the silver tray in both hands, slowly took two steps forward, and then stopped.
Fresh fruit and bread, freshly roasted meat and precious cocoa were placed on the silver platter.
The fragrant hot air intertwined together and soon filled the air of the entire dormitory.
"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner..."
The attendant's voice was soft and full of worry.
But Lin Ke's reaction was still the same as before, as if he didn't hear what was said.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh... You haven't eaten properly for two days."
Seeing that Lin Ke did not respond, the servant mustered up the courage to continue speaking.
"The kitchen has specially prepared your favorite fig and honey bread..."
"Well... We asked the palace physician, and he told us that if you continue to refuse food and drink, even a god would..."
As the servant spoke, he secretly glanced at Lin Ke's back. Seeing that the other party had not turned around, he had no choice but to put the silver plate on the table beside him.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, at least try a little."
"Even for the upcoming court meeting, you need to maintain your strength..."
The attendant bent over and took two steps back respectfully.
At this moment, all the servants and maids looked at each other, and they seemed very anxious.
At this moment, the Holy Pharaoh suddenly turned around.
“It smells so good.”
"What's that smell?"
