From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

The next morning, as usual, the streets were shrouded in morning fog.In front of the royal treasurer's door, yawning clerks gathered.

Minnie and Tabak were at the end of the line, both of them were hale and hearty, with bright eyes.

When Iago saw them, he greeted them lazily, and said with a smile, "It's a young man after all. He worked so late yesterday, and he recovered after sleeping."

That's why he didn't dare to drive away Tabak and others easily: young people work, one is worth three.

Mei Ni and Tabak looked at each other, and the two of them actually stayed up all night.But at this moment, I feel full of energy, and my whole body seems to have inexhaustible strength. I wish I could do a good job in Memphis under the guidance of the gods.

But these are not known to Iago.

Minnie nodded as usual, nodded at Iago, and entered the royal treasurer.

Tabac, on the other hand, was smiling all over his face, exchanged greetings with Iago, and did not forget to glance at Minnie's back with a special look, as if to say: "Look at her, she always has such a weird temper—"

This is the trick they learned from the former acting priest Sasha: either be independent, or be kind to everyone, and get along well with everyone.

At this time, the treasurer was extremely busy.

The big river is about to flood, and each nome is using the food produced as a tax to be handed over to the treasurer of Memphis. In the next two to three months, each nome's own grain reserves will be reduced to a minimum, and they will have to rely on the money from the treasurer of Memphis. allocation and supply.

At this moment, among the treasurers directly leading to the Memphis wharf, there was an endless stream of servants delivering goods.

In front of each warehouse, there are two treasury recorders recording the entry and exit, one recording and the other checking. After the recording is completed, the two will sign and detain it together to show that they are jointly responsible for the recording.

The completed records are sent to the cashier for summary.

After Mei Ni entered the treasurer, she paused, immediately chose a direction, and went to the account room without looking back.

"I want to see an account—"

She told the guards standing outside the accountant's door.

"You can only watch it, not copy it."

That's what the guards replied to her after checking her treasurer's badge.

Minnie hummed, nodded, and stretched out her hands to indicate that she was empty and didn't carry anything for transcription.

Immediately, she walked quickly into the account room, found the account she wanted to see, and prayed in a low voice: "Great God Amon, respected priest of God, I have found all the grains that the treasurer of Memphis shipped out of the warehouse yesterday according to your request. where the allocation goes—”

Immediately, a soft female voice rang in her mind.

"Very good. Understanding the whereabouts of the food will help the gods make a judgment and predict when Pharaoh will increase his troops to various parts of Egypt, so as to prevent the war from happening in advance."

Mei Ni felt relieved, and said in her heart: Sure enough, God Amon did not want to see war on the land of Egypt.

She prayed again in a low voice, "Do you want me to explain the contents of the accounts for you?"

The voice in her mind reminded: "No need, but I will guide you to turn the page, and if I have a question, I will also ask you... You don't need to make a sound when answering the question, you just have to think about it in your mind...

Well, I'm not prying into your thoughts and ideas, I only know about the Treasurer.After you complete this task, I will cut off contact with you. "

"Yes--"

Minnie recited a sentence in her heart devoutly.

In fact, she wished she could listen to this voice that was very similar to Princess Elyse for a while longer.

She hadn't seen the princess for almost a year, and she really missed her.

Mei Ni immediately stretched out her hand and rolled up the first roll of papyrus.The ink on it is still very fresh, it is the grain that came out of the warehouse yesterday.

While watching, she thought to herself: By what means is the priest of Amon God viewing these accounts?

She just had this idea, and immediately thought in her heart: Oops, I suspect Priest Amon, the priest will know immediately.

Unexpectedly, that clear female voice sounded again: "Okay, let's go to the next volume!"

Mei Ni immediately followed suit, suppressing the curiosity in her heart so as not to have any weird thoughts.

She quickly put away this volume, and then opened the next volume, this time she heard the question from Priest Amon: "Where is this sent?"

One of the two sides asked in their hearts, and the other answered silently, and soon finished reading all the papyrus scrolls.

It was still early at this moment, and there were only a few huge night pearls that could emit soft light for lighting in the warehouse. Mei Ni felt her eyes were sore, but she heard a voice in her mind ordering: "Okay, today's task is done for now, you go to work first." It's your job."

Mei Ni hummed, and felt that the priest was quite considerate, and he could actually understand that her eyes were sore, and her vision was already a little blurred.

But she didn't expect that Ailixi was actually using her vision to read the contents of the account just now.

Before Minnie and Tabak entered the royal treasury, Erich made two preparations: on the one hand, she logged into the Eye of Horus and pointed to Minnie; , invoke Minnie's vision——

That is to say, Minnie shared her vision with her, and she was reading the accounts through Minnie's eyes.

These two preparations, on the one hand, allow Erich to observe the situation around the favored person at any time, and let her own loved one know;

On the other hand, when Eilish borrows Minnie's eyes to read the accounts, she can ask Minnie questions at any time. Where she has doubts, she just needs to stay there.

Therefore, in a very short period of time, Erich read the accounts released by the treasurer yesterday——

The first impression she got was that the use of Arabic numerals had become fully widespread within the royal treasury.

No matter how resistant the royal clerks were, this kind of number is convenient and easy to use, and does not require additional auxiliary tools, so it quickly gained the favor of the public.

Therefore, under Minnie's guidance, Alicia was able to quickly understand the contents of the account.

In addition, the pharaoh's transfer of supplies in Lower Egypt seems to be normal. There is no sign of militiamen drawn from the Nomes to join the major legions, and there is no sign of the mobilization of the major legions-especially the border army.

She accompanied Minnie, and while browsing the treasurer's exit records here, another spirit body after she logged into the Eye of Horus was emerging from a wall behind Tabac——

Tabak is in another warehouse, which is filled with historical materials, so the guards are more stringent.If Tabac hadn't had a good relationship with the guards, he wouldn't have been able to enter this warehouse.

The historical data that Tabak is looking up here is how much food Lower Egypt needs to provide Upper Egypt in the past years——

Erich hopes to take this opportunity to calculate how big the food gap in Upper Egypt will be after the pharaoh's rebellion.

After Erich became the priest of God.Not only can the spiritual body logged into the Eye of Horus appear in more than ten places at the same time, but it can also establish contact with more than five God's favored people at the same time.

In other words, she can now open multiple small windows at once, like a video conference call, to communicate with different people at the same time.

With the further improvement of her personality, the upper limit of five or ten will also increase accordingly.

Before Ailixi could be promoted to a demigod, she estimated that she could open fifty small windows at the same time and communicate with at least twenty favored ones at the same time.

This is really convenient - with the help of Tabac, Alicia quickly found the number of the previous year.

This number surprised her, but she had no time to sigh.Because she had a premonition of danger, her spiritual body turned her head and found the imminent threat:

Iago was entering the warehouse where the papyrus scrolls of historical archives were stored, and with a smile on his face, he walked quickly towards Tabac.

Erich alerted the young man through her spiritual connection with Tabak, and even quickly came up with an excuse for him.

Unexpectedly, when Iago walked up to Tabac, he didn't even look at the papyrus scroll he had just put down, but asked with a smile in a low voice: "Tabac, what do you say... God Amon? A god-"

The honest boy Tabak suddenly felt that he had revealed his secrets. The other party saw through that he was the favored man of Amon, and he wanted to tell the truth as soon as he opened his mouth.

Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "He is just begging you to be close, just trying to find a way out."

Tabac was alerted immediately, showing his usual confused and honest expression, and replied in a low voice: "I have some relatives in Upper Egypt... I have generally heard something about... that god."

Tabak's appearance was close to that of an Upper Egyptian, or even a Nubian.Therefore, Iago immediately believed what he said, and he was immediately refreshed. He patted Tabac on the shoulder with a smile on his face, and said, "My good brother, we will have a chance to talk about this in the future. Let's talk in detail haha——"

However, Tabak was affected by the spiritual connection, and asked in a low voice: "Is there something wrong with Memphis?"

The muscles on Iago's face twitched, and he didn't dare to say anything for a while. He looked around and saw that there was no one there, so he replied in a low voice: "I heard that the sweet water well in the Temple of Osiris has dried up. My heart... ..."

He paused for a moment, and then added as if he was heartbroken to Tabak: "No matter what, it's always good to have an extra way out, right?"

According to the teachings of Sasha in the past, Tabak acted like he had suddenly realized, nodded repeatedly, and echoed: "Yes, yes, it seems that I have to ask my relatives more..."

Iago had no doubts about what he said, and turned around.

At this moment, Tabak let out a sigh of relief, thinking: It is still the priest of the gods who can see people accurately.

Wait until Tabak comes out of the warehouse, and go back to the hall at the entrance of the treasurer, where the counting contest used to be held.

He happened to meet Minnie.The two of them just exchanged a look, and they knew that each other's tasks had been completed.

Iago, the treasurer, happened to be there too, and was greeting a handsome young man.

"Master General, why are you free to come here today?"

The young man was handsome, but lazy.At this time, the sky was already bright, but he looked more sleepy than everyone else. Before he opened his mouth, he yawned for a long time, and finally opened his mouth, uttering two words lightly: "Come and play—" —”

Iago knew that the general had a special status and could not afford to offend him, so he immediately asked, "Is there anything I can use to entertain you?"

"I came here specifically to look at the past accounts here—"

Iago's first reaction was: This is impossible!

But he immediately remembered: "No" is no good, this person in front of him is not an ordinary person, he is the general who commands the Egyptian border army, and he has a nickname called General Madness.

In addition, he is also the brother of the princess who once turned the treasury upside down by himself.

He wants to come to the treasurer to check the accounts. What can Iago do to stop him?

But at this moment, several guards from the royal guard stepped forward silently and stopped in front of Solan.

"Haha... But I only realized when I got here that I have to understand things like accounts!"

Saying that, Solan laughed for a long time, and walked out of the treasurer's door with his hands behind his back. Iago arched his back and carefully sent him out of the door, then turned around and spread his hands to the royal guard.

The guards shrugged their shoulders, turned and went back to their posts.

But in fact, at this moment, the important secret of the royal treasurer was just leaked out.

Once Soran left the treasury, Erich didn't have to worry about the state of the treasury anymore. She immediately logged out of the Eye of Horus and cut off the spiritual connection with the two favored ones of God Amon.

She returned to the room where Thebes was, and immediately found an ink pen, and quickly wrote down a row of numbers on the papyrus——

This was what she had seen from Tabak, the amount of food provided by Lower Egypt to Upper Egypt over the past few years.

Much more than she imagined.
