Just as Lin Ke was thinking about how to express himself so that his meaning could be more easily understood, he saw the ministers' expressions change.
At this time, the ministers gradually showed signs of enlightenment and began to discuss in low voices.
The hall first fell into a brief silence, and then burst into exclamations one after another.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is wise! Holy and wise!"
A minister in charge of finance stepped forward with excitement, his voice trembling.
He did not bow as he did when speaking, but instead prostrated himself on the ground.
"I have only calculated taxes all day long, but never thought of measuring people's livelihood by 'livability'!"
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh cares about the people, so he can come up with such a far-sighted strategy!"
As soon as his words came out, some generals and civil officials with lower understanding also reacted.
They looked at each other, and their eyes immediately sparkled as if they had suddenly understood some truth from the holy books.
"I, your Honor! I have lived for seventy years and have never heard such an opinion!"
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has explained such a profound truth in such a simple and easy-to-understand way!"
At this time, a white-haired local official said this, knelt down tremblingly, with tears in his eyes.
"The Pharaohs of all generations only cared about military exploits and temples, but you, the Holy Pharaoh, are the only one who cares about the well-being of the common people!"
After he finished speaking, he actually started sobbing.
Nan Tong stared at Lin Ke blankly, then took a deep breath and exclaimed: "Listening to the divine oracle for half a minute is better than reading a hundred-year papyrus scroll!"
"I have studied magic all my life, but I never thought that governing a country could be so meticulous!"
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is not only proficient in military magic, but also knows the sufferings of the people!"
As they were talking, even Nan Tong bowed down.
"This is the vision that a ruler of a country should have!"
At this time, several young officials could not help but come forward and bow down, with reverence written all over their faces.
"We are always clinging to old conventions, but Saint Pharaoh has long been thinking from the perspective of all people..."
"It is a great honor to have His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh to guide us!"
The old prime minister Kamul took a deep breath and shook his head slightly.
"I am ashamed."
"In the past few decades, no one has ever used 'whether the people can survive' as the criterion for governing the country as Your Majesty has done."
At this point, his voice choked up a bit: "Holy Egypt is blessed by God to have such a wise ruler!"
"No! It is the blessing of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"Even our Supreme God Ra reappeared at your call!"
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh's way of governing the country makes the achievements of previous kings pale in comparison!"
"Your name will be engraved on a monument more eternal than any temple!"
"Ah! Our great! Supreme! Holy Pharaoh!"
The sound of admiration in the hall continued for a long time, but Lin Ke just looked at them calmly.
Somehow, Lin Ke felt as if a warm current was spreading in his chest.
But no! He didn't come here today to listen to the ministers praising him!
He is here to find ways to improve livability!
Using the civilization panel alone is not enough to increase livability as quickly as possible in a short period of time.
Moreover, there are many cities in Holy Egypt now. If these burdens are not distributed, he will never be able to rest in the future.
Therefore, he decided to personally give specific instructions to the city lords and local officials.
All I have to do is send Kamul on time to supervise the completion of their work.
In this way, you can reduce a lot of burden and achieve the desired results.
So, when the discussions died down, Lin Ke slowly spoke.
He decided to personally start assigning tasks one by one!
"Lord of Fustat, step forward."
Upon hearing this, the minister immediately stepped forward and said, "I am here."
“Although the Hebrews in your city have surrendered, the conflict has not been completely resolved.”
"From now on, three new policies will be implemented."
“First, a mixed court was established, where Egyptian judges and Hebrew elders would jointly hear disputes.”
"Second, the seventh day of every month will be designated as a trade day, the curfew will be lifted, and both sides will be allowed to trade freely."
“Third, a special fund was allocated from the royal treasury to repair the facilities in the Hebrew residential areas, but they were required to be responsible for maintaining one-third of the public facilities and roads in the city.”
“If there is definite evidence that any Hebrew objected to this, then he was beaten into slavery.”
He paused for a moment, then added: "If a fight occurs, find out the cause and the first offender will be punished by repairing the city wall for ten days."
"For repeat offenders, the punishment will be doubled."
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Fustat sweated on his forehead and said, "Yes! I will make arrangements immediately."
Then, Lin Ke shifted his gaze to the other side: "Lord of Sun City, step forward."
The minister stepped forward and said, "I respectfully listen to your instructions."
"Your city has five urgent priorities."
Lin Ke took a roll of papyrus from the servant. He wrote briefly on it and then said, "First, count the food reserves in the city and distribute it according to households within this month. Children under ten years old will be given an extra half loaf of bread every day."
"Second, we will transfer 20 Might priests from the capital to focus on preventing and treating malaria and diarrhea. We will take 70% of the herbs needed from the Amazon."
"Third, requisition the idle warehouses of the nobles and convert them into temporary residences."
“Fourth, through cash-for-work programs, those who participate in house reconstruction can receive extra food every day.”
