"Your Majesty, Holy Pharaoh, while you were traveling to Damascus in Arabia, I dispatched Remheb to several border cities of Holy Egypt."
"Today, most cities in Holy Egypt don't have as much food as Cairo. They rely on your 'Holy Egypt Food Supply Plan' to obtain enough food to feed all the city's inhabitants."
"Based on the city and population information submitted by the other party, the old minister will send his men to conduct irregular inspections to confirm that the city information and documents are consistent, and to review and examine city cases and audit accounts."
"Look, these are the documents Remheb brought back last night after sorting them out."
At this moment, Kamul raised his arm and signaled the guard to take a stack of papyrus carried by Kamul's entourage and place it on the table.
Lin Ke looked at the thick stack of papyrus. He just couldn't believe that it was the information that Remheb had compiled in just a few days.
To complete so much content in such a short time, you can imagine that Remheb must have been working hard even late at night.
“It’s really remarkable.”
"Is he still a clerk?"
The reason why Lin Ke asked this was that he wanted to further promote Remheb.
Because Remheb is a little special now. His job rank is low, but in fact, he is able to stand on his own and handle many things for Kamul alone.
You know, the path to promotion for a clerk is not easy.
First of all, the clerk starts out as a trainee clerk, and what he does is specialized and repetitive clerical work.
For many ordinary clerks, this will most likely become their lifelong position.
After that, he became a formal clerk, which is Remheb’s current position.
It is equivalent to a role similar to that of a department head.
For ordinary clerks, they can reach this level with years of experience and excellent business skills.
Of course, this also includes the most important point, which is interpersonal relationships and the protection of superiors.
Simply put, the key is to gain the appreciation of your superiors.
This position manages the clerical work of a group or department and supervises junior clerks, being responsible for the accuracy of the accounts.
Of course, they sometimes need to report to higher-level officials, but Remheb is special. He can report directly to the Prime Minister of Holy Egypt.
Those who can achieve this are no longer "people who do things". They are now more like "officials who can manage things" and have a certain amount of power and influence, and can access more internal information related to Holy Egypt.
The next level higher is the official of Holy Egypt, which is equivalent to a senior bureaucrat.
Generally speaking, if one wants to reach this level, a person's ability, loyalty and background become very important.
Of course, Remheb's biggest problem now is his background. He went through layers of selection before he caught the attention of Lin Ke and Kamul, but the selection policy was formulated by Lin Ke.
Simply put, people like Remheb have reached their current position because of policies. Otherwise, given his background, being a trainee clerk would have been a great honor and a source of pride.
But Remheb does have outstanding abilities, and what Lin Ke needs is someone like Remheb, not the children of prominent people who have status but weak abilities.
However, the most important thing is that Remheb has now gained the trust of Linke and Prime Minister Kamul, which means that as long as he demonstrates his ability and loyalty, his position can be further promoted.
That is, to be responsible for the affairs of an entire area of a city or an important region, and to become the core staff of the royal family.
Lin Ke believed that Remheb was now capable of becoming a minister, because this would also send a message to other people in Holy Egypt that as long as one was capable enough and loyal enough, anyone would have the opportunity to reach this position.
Of course, if the minister continues to be promoted, he will reach the position second only to the top of the pyramid.
The position of prime minister, also known as vizier.
Kamul's location.
This is the ultimate pinnacle of the clerk profession!
The vizier is the first person under the pharaoh.
It has enormous power and is in charge of almost all domestic affairs, including administration, justice, finance, engineering, etc.
He had to listen to reports from the ministers every day and was ultimately responsible to the Pharaoh.
Just like Kamul today.
Lin Ke was looking through the documents at this time, and after hearing Lin Ke's words, Kamul just nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, Remheb is still a clerk."
"But you know, because of his background, Remheb will encounter many difficulties when he goes to the border areas to carry out his work."
"According to this old minister, now is not the best time to promote Remheb."
When Lin Ke heard Kamul's words, he just raised his head slightly.
"oh?"
"It seems that you have made a decision."
"People like Remheb must be valued by us."
"This way we can tell more people that what Holy Egypt needs now are talented people, not people with high status."
Kamul pursed his lips slightly at this time, and nodded, agreeing with Lin Ke's statement.
But after seeing Kamul's actions, Lin Ke just felt a little strange.
It seems that Kamul has something else to say.
"but......"
"You came here today just to show me these things, didn't you?"
"Is it because of the Remheb incident? Or is it something else?"
Lin Ke was a little confused at this time.
The most important things in Holy Egypt right now are the Supreme God and the Viking enemies gathering on the sea.
In addition to military and divine matters, there are also economic issues. But now, the treasury of Holy Egypt is becoming increasingly full. At least Lin Ke has not found any major internal problems of Holy Egypt that require his intervention on the civilization panel.
But Kamult came to him, obviously because there was a problem within Holy Egypt that required Lin Ke to make a decision personally.
In addition, Kamul is the prime minister of Holy Egypt, so Lin Ke could probably guess at this moment that Kamul must have other things to do.
Sure enough, after Kamul took a deep breath, he spoke.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"Do you remember that you approved the document regarding Matruh's request for food?"
Lin Ke nodded, and Kamul continued speaking.
"Please take a look at the information that Remheb has brought."
"I have reason to suspect that the lord of Matruh overstated the amount and obtained excess grain."
"He might have pocketed the food you gave him."
