one hundred and twelve

The Hyksos, who were once aloof, had a much worse fate than the pharaohs of the former empire, because they were almost exterminated to death, and not many of them could escape. Moreover, because they enjoyed beautiful women and even delicacies all year round, their physical fitness was very poor.

, so many people who escaped were caught up and killed due to a serious lack of physical strength during the escape.

This leader Han also successfully became the king of this empire, but this was just a very powerful slave empire. Han followed the violent management methods of the Hyksos, so the civilians and slaves in the empire still

It is desperate. In this case, Han will not deal with more data problems. This results in Han's workload being very heavy, and he does not even have time to enjoy the service of beautiful women. Therefore, Han has been improving laws and order.

, but in this process, Han's thinking was somewhat unable to keep up, so resistance incidents often occurred in the empire, but they were not as big as before. At least the civilians and slaves felt that resistance no longer made any sense.

, because no matter how much they resist, they seem to be slaves and civilians in the end. This does not change anything at all. In fact, this is mainly due to the lack of knowledge of slaves and civilians.

Therefore, the empire is still in turmoil, and the pharaohs of the empire die very quickly. They usually die before the age of forty, either because they are overworked or because they enjoy too much. And the civilians are also used to this kind of thing, just because

The pharaoh died too quickly, which required the construction of more tombs, which caused misery to the civilians.

We have talked before about building a huge tomb for the Pharaoh. This requires a massive labor force and a massive supply of food. Now the Pharaoh and the nobles have exploited civilians and even slaves even more crazily, so there are also many civilians and slaves.

The slaves escaped, and even the use of violence to stop them was of little use.

Originally, the empire had a population of nearly one million. After resistance, more than half a million remained. Then it was violently ruled by the Hyksos. After resistance, more than 600,000 remained. But now the population is getting smaller and smaller. Now

There were only more than 400,000 left. This was no joke. The Pharaoh knew that the empire seemed to be shrinking, so he lightened some of the burdens on the civilian slaves, just to leave more food.

This behavior of the Pharaoh was called the mercy of the gods by the common people and even the slaves. Unknowingly, the Pharaoh became a god in the minds of the common people and slaves. In fact, it is not difficult to see from this that these slaves and civilians

Their servility has long been ingrained, and they no longer even have normal judgment. They seem to have deeply realized that they are slaves personally designated by the gods. They are not the same type of people as the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh is a god, let alone the Dharma.

Old people, even the nobles, and the common people all know that they are not the same kind of people as them. It can be said that under the violent management of this slave society, the overall intelligence and even judgment of the common people are not only their subjective thoughts but also their understanding of things.

The ability to understand has been severely limited. It seems that these slaves can no longer live like human beings. They have lost the pursuit of beauty and even dreams.

However, at this time, in order to better rule the empire and develop the empire better, the Pharaoh had always wanted to annex several countries not too far away from them, so the Pharaoh asked the senior people to create the concept of money. In fact, the previous empire

There is money, but this money only circulates among high-level officials and even nobles, and never reaches the hands of common people and slaves.

In the past, the money circulated in this form in the empire could be rich meat, brilliant gold, jewelry, shells, or even barley or wheat. You could even use beautiful women as money to pay to the other party, etc.

But things are different now. Based on demand, Pharaoh created another concept of money. In fact, this concept of money is the concept of silver ingots we talked about before. We will not repeat it here.

Therefore, once you have the concept of money, everything will become strange. The magic of money is very powerful, and once money becomes popular, civilians will have the opportunity to come into contact with it. This kind of money is silver, and

It can be said that they are silver coins. We have also talked before. Silver cannot be eaten or used, so it has no meaning at all. However, the current Pharaoh has given these silver coins a special meaning. The silver coins have their own clear price tags, which can

Exchange for anything in the empire, such as meat, wheat, barley, houses, shells, women, men, slaves, etc.

Therefore, after the concept of money was born, the business of this empire has undergone earth-shaking changes. For example, some merchants do not sell items shipped from far away to nobles. If commoners have silver coins, they will also sell them. In fact, merchants in this empire

The status is similar to that of a slave, and there is no higher status at all.

At this point, the civilians have realized the omnipotence of money, and if the civilians want to get a sophisticated weapon, then they can find an armorer. As long as they can give enough silver coins, the armorer can resist the pharaoh's order for the silver coins.

Then the weapons were given to the civilians. Only then did the civilians fully understand the great significance of the silver coins.

So at first some civilians collected the grain, and then secretly sold a lot of grain to merchants. The merchants secretly transported the grain, or gave some silver coins to the soldiers guarding the city gate, which was considered a bribe so that the grain could be transported away, while the civilians

The grain was turned into silver coins, and the silver coins were dug into a hole and hid, so that when the people above came to squeeze the grain, they would not be able to find more grain. Moreover, the Pharaoh had stipulated that some grain must be left for the common people.

Otherwise they will all starve to death and there will be no one left to farm.

So with the rise of this situation, the common people suddenly seemed to see some hope. After all, silver coins can be turned into anything. If you don't eat wheat, you can also use silver coins to exchange for meat, because currently in this empire,

Because of the formation of the concept of money, business has prospered to an unimaginable level. People are selling everything, even children or daughters.

However, the behavior of the civilians was still discovered by the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh asked a large number of soldiers to come to investigate the matter, but nothing was found. The main reason was that there was something wrong with the order issued by the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh's order was not to massacre on a large scale. After all, the Pharaoh always wanted to

He is trying to attack other countries, so he wants to increase the population. What he mainly thinks about is population, and what the soldiers need may not be a word from the Pharaoh, you are doing a great job. What the soldiers need is also silver coins, but as long as they catch civilians with hidden treasures,

The behavior of silver coins is generally private. After all, civilians are willing to use silver coins to buy their own lives, and soldiers are also willing to do the same.

Therefore, Pharaoh's plan to hunt down civilians failed. But the next year, Pharaoh issued an order that the food of each city-state could only be placed in each city-state. Except for a few named city-states, the food must be sent to the palace warehouse.

Transporting food out of the city without permission is a capital offense!

Although the Pharaoh has issued such an order, there are still some businessmen who want to make money, because these grains are not necessarily sold to the common people. In fact, the nobles also want them, and the nobles generally don't care much about the Pharaoh's orders, because the nobles' silver coins

There are so many silver coins. These silver coins themselves are like their law. As long as there are enough silver coins, you can kill people in the city. Anyway, they are just compensation for some silver coins. Therefore, at this time, the nobles not only like to keep a lot of slaves, but also like to keep a lot of slaves.

Many young and strong men helped them fight, and even some nobles conspired together to kill the pharaoh. They chose one of them to be the pharaoh, so that they could get more benefits, so they were training warriors.

This will require more food, which needs to be purchased from merchants.

Merchants also like to earn silver coins from nobles, so a secret connection industry is born. Once this kind of secret food industry can be born, other industries can also be born, such as the weapons industry, and even darker trafficking.

In the slave industry, these slaves, whether they are men or women, are stripped naked. They are like some kind of commodity, with their clearly marked prices, and they are all cheap, not very expensive.

Speaking of which, some commoners previously hid a lot of food, so they were able to exchange it for fifteen silver coins, but the total amount of food their family needed for a year only needed three silver coins, so the male owner of this commoner family

, then go to the underground industry, and buy a beautiful female slave for only half a silver coin, and then take her home to be your second wife.

Since this kind of thing can happen in a civilian family, it means that it also happens in other civilian families, and this kind of thing has become an unwritten rule, and has even reached the point where it is known to all civilians.

Gradually, the common people also discovered that this silver coin was much more convenient than the original gold. Gold could sometimes only be passed among nobles, but this silver coin could be passed between anyone anywhere, and even one day

A civilian was bullied by a warrior. The civilian found another warrior, bribed the warrior with a silver coin, and then killed the other warrior who bullied him.

It is the powerful magic of money that slowly saved these ancestors who had problems with their IQ, thoughts, worldview, and even any aspect. These common people and even slave ancestors are now full of thoughts.

, no longer how to cultivate hard, how to please the master, how to crawl on the ground and beg the soldiers not to kill them, how to cry to prevent the grain collectors from taking away all the grains, etc.
