"Of course not."
"It is naturally an honor for Holy Egypt to be able to conduct trade with your country."
As soon as Kamul finished speaking, the expressions of the three Nubian trade officials became much more relaxed.
Although the two sides have not yet had specific discussions, they actually already have the answer in their hearts.
At this time, the short trade officer continued what he had just said.
"We came here originally to experience it for ourselves and see with our own eyes what kind of civilization and kingdom Holy Egypt is."
"But what I saw today..."
At this point, the three Nubian trade officials smiled at each other.
Anyone could see at a glance that they were very satisfied with their journey to Holy Egypt.
"Your country's miracles and management methods are eye-opening to us."
"We have never seen a kingdom so prosperous."
“There is not one lean and thin man among the children of holy Egypt, nor one begs in the streets.”
“Everyone is so devout and enthusiastic.”
At this time, another taller Nubian trade officer interrupted and said, "Yes, we also saw workers queuing in front of the store."
"But I have doubts about this."
Kamul smiled slightly, nodded, and motioned the other party to continue.
"I wonder what that store sells? But food like this? They smell and taste a lot like it."
The taller Nubian trade officer then pointed to a loaf of bread on the table.
Seeing this, Kamul nodded.
"Exactly. However, the bread we serve to our guests is made from the finest wheat."
“Although the flavor is very similar, the mouthfeel is slightly different.”
Hearing Kamul's words, the taller Nubian trade officer nodded and his eyes widened slightly.
"'Bread'..."
"When we saw people queuing from a distance, we almost bought some."
"But I wonder how much the workers in your country are paid? How can they afford such expensive food?"
Kamul just shook his head when he heard this: "Bread is not expensive. The price is usually between five German copper coins and twenty German copper coins."
As soon as Kamul finished speaking, the three trade officials were stunned.
"So...cheap?!"
At this time, a trade officer took out a deben silver coin from his pocket. He thought that this was the price of the bread.
Kamul just smiled and said: "It all depends on our great Holy Pharaoh."
"Otherwise, it would probably take dozens or even hundreds of years for the people of Holy Egypt to have the life they have today."
The three Nubian trade officials nodded, and they became more interested in this mysterious "Holy Pharaoh".
Then the short trade officer continued what he had just said.
“So, after our personal experience in Cairo, we decided to use the privilege granted by the king to establish trade cooperation with Holy Egypt.”
“As you can see, we come here with sincerity.”
Kamul smiled slightly and said in a gentle voice: "You are right."
"You have come from afar, and Saint Egypt should treat you with courtesy."
"I haven't been formally introduced yet. I am Kamul, the Prime Minister of Holy Egypt. I am here to discuss this with you on the orders of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"Since we have business to discuss, let's just be frank. His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh has always been friendly and generous to his allies."
Seeing Kamul's straightforward approach, the tall trade officer continued, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for coming here in person."
"We have some things there that may be useful to your country. It just so happens that we also want to bring back some specialties from your country to present to His Majesty the King."
"He will love it."
Another thin trade officer said with a smile: "We can't stop eating these bread, honey water, and various dried fruits you mentioned."
“If we can bring it back, it will be very popular in Nubia.”
"If the response is strong, we can also export it to further places for Holy Egypt."
After hearing this, Kamul nodded, his tone still kind: "If I can cooperate with you, it will naturally be a good thing."
"His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is also happy to see allies prosper together. If you have any specific ideas, please tell us in detail."
He looked at Remheb and whispered, "Child, remember their words and present them to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
Remheb immediately responded, "Yes, Prime Minister."
Then he picked up the papyrus and reed pen beside him and took notes carefully.
Kamul and three Nubian trade officials sat around a wooden table, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn.
Kamul motioned for the other party to speak.
The tall trade officer nodded and said, "Please allow me to tell you an old story first."
"Many kingdoms and tribes on the continent used to regard the Hebrew Empire as the most powerful civilization."
"But in my opinion, the Hebrews are just a military power. They know nothing about trade and diplomacy, are overly ambitious, and have made countless enemies."
"On the other hand, in Holy Egypt, under the rule of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, the people's livelihood was prosperous, miracles were magnificent, and the administration was well managed, which was admirable."
The short trade officer nodded in agreement, his voice steady: "When we passed through Cairo, we saw the orderly flow of water in the Hanging Gardens, the majestic pyramids, the imposing Stonehenge, and even the orderly streets."
"Your soldiers are highly disciplined, and your ostracism system is unprecedented."
"We have been trading with many kingdoms for many years, but have never seen anything like this. In my opinion, within a few years, Holy Egypt will become the overlord of the continent."
"Your country is rich in grain, fine in linen, and useful in pottery, which is enviable."
