From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

On the way up the river to Thebes, Erich listened to Biola's prayer in Tanis, and wanted to see what she had invented that could benefit the local people.

"So this time it's a spinning wheel!"

Erich listened with great interest to Biola's prayer to God Amon.

Biola wasn't exactly an invention this time either.Instead, the spinning tools used by the Tanis were modified.

The economy of ancient Egypt has always been dependent on planting, lacking large tracts of land for grazing.

Therefore, a large amount of wool is imported through the sea trade along the Mediterranean Sea every year, dyed and spun into wool in the Tanis area, and then woven into exquisite blankets, and then sent to the inland of Egypt.

Wool from overseas may not be expensive, but it takes a lot of labor to weave it.

Therefore, wool blankets are an absolute luxury, and usually only the royal family and nobles can enjoy them.Laying a wool blanket indoors is a status symbol.

Alixie has been used to seeing woolen blankets since she read the book, and only now did she realize the commercial value of this product after listening to Biola.

And Biola's modification was to improve on the existing spinning wheel of the Tanis, creating a spinning wheel with three spindles attached, that is to say, a weaver woman can spin three spindles at a time. of wool.

This greatly speeds up the efficiency of Tanith weaving.

Originally, there were piles of wool that were too late to be spun in Tanis's market. Not long after Biola transformed the spinning wheel, all the wool in the warehouse was exhausted.In the warehouse where the wool was originally stored, there are large and large balls of wool neatly stacked.

Immediately, shrewd businessmen bought wool from the Phoenicians on a large scale, and then sold the wool that had been spun, and made a lot of money in the middle.

However, when Biola prayed to God Amon, she seemed very frustrated and frustrated.

"Great god, your faithful believer wants to ask you to clear up your doubts."

When Alicia heard it, it turned out that what Viola was worried about was that she managed to transform the spinning wheel, but she didn't know anything about looms at all, not to mention the equipment of later generations such as the Jenny loom, even a machine that can weave wool. There is no way to create a loom to make cloth.

The most terrible thing is that, as a modern person, Biola clearly knows that this kind of technology exists, and also knows that this kind of technology can completely change the lives of many people, but her ability is limited, so she can't continue to guide the Tanith people to continue to create more advanced And efficient textile machinery comes out.

When Alicia heard Viola's prayer, her first reaction was: the original heroine who had the aura would also worry about this!

She also didn't expect that Viola would get stuck on this matter.

Well, not being able to create a loom isn't such a big deal.After all, there was a spinning wheel, and the efficiency of the Tanis people in processing wool was several times higher than before.

But the girl's voice of prayer revealed unhappiness.Ailixi can somewhat understand her state of mind—knowing that there is a way to go further, but because of her limited knowledge, she just can't help.

But now, Biola's question came to God Amon, and the problem was thrown to Elyse.

How should she answer?

Erich thought for a while, logged into the Eye of Horus, silently appeared in the form of a god in Biola's small tent, and uttered two words: "Fire."

Biola was a little puzzled for a while, after all, what she prayed for was only the loom, which was far from the fire, and couldn't be reached.

But after thinking about it, the girl's gloomy emerald-like pupils suddenly began to shine.

"Great god, do you mean—"

"In fact, I don't have to teach them all the technologies, but point them out, give them a brand new concept, a basic principle, and a direction to explore, telling them that it must be feasible to go down this road?"

Erich closed her eyes and said yes, as she had done when she first met Viola.

But Viola hasn't finished it by herself: "Or, I should look for a few talented young people who ask me for this and that all day long, and encourage them to think boldly, try various methods, and let them Did they invent useful tools themselves?"

"Yes--"

Alicia replied without much emotion.

"Ah, great god, I finally understand the meaning of your response to my tinder."

"One person's power is indeed too small, but I was too arrogant and arrogant before, thinking that since I have knowledge from thousands of years later, I can help people here achieve a huge technological leap..."

"Actually, only by handing out the fire can it be turned into a raging flame of human civilization!"

Alicia felt ashamed when she heard it, and if she had to express it herself, it probably wouldn't be as beautiful as Viola's.

But anyway, the understanding of imagery is interlinked.Therefore, Viola perfectly understood her intentions, and washed away the depression and regret just now.

On the contrary, the girl is refreshed and ready to spread the fire of technology that can improve efficiency and benefit mankind at any time.

Seeing that she had solved Biola's problem, she logged into the Eye of Horus again, and this time she appeared next to Biola in the form of a favored person. After chatting with Biola for a while, she asked Shu Hetai The whereabouts of the two envoys of Funut.

According to Biola, due to the arrival of the dry season, activities of praying for rain are very frequent in various places.

Therefore, the envoy of Tefnut once again embarked on a journey of being invited to rain in various places.Shushen Angel went with his wife.

Although the two had already left, Viola still expressed the necessary concern for the condition of Tefnut's envoy.

Of course, Erich is not sure about this either—according to common sense, as long as no one mentions death in front of Tefnut, Tefnut can at least maintain the status quo.

Otherwise, the envoy would be like the dead in Asiut, falling to the ground as soon as he reacted.

This kind of thing is not under the control of anyone, whether it is Viola or Elyse, they can only send good wishes, hope that the two have enough luck, and cherish every day they live together.

Saying goodbye to Biola, Erich sits alone in her small cabin in the royal ship, recalling Biola's latest invention - the spinning wheel.

Can she develop any novel spells if the law of similarity is applied?

Alicia thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of any good application scenarios when she thought of the pain in her head.Coupled with the darkness of the night, Urania urged, she simply fell asleep and stopped thinking about it.

After all, the last twist of force had consumed her huge energy and brain cells.

This time, Alixi decided not to force her, and let herself fall into a sweet dreamland.

In the early morning of the next day, Gregor, the royal navigator, told Erich that the royal ship was already very close to Thebes, and it would take another day to enter this great city in the middle reaches of the great river.

Erich stepped out of the cabin happily, admiring the scenery around Thebes—after all, this is close to the most developed and prosperous area in Upper Egypt.

Sure enough, on the river banks on both sides of the king's boat, there were continuous inhabited villages with row upon row of houses. It was only in the outer suburbs of the city that the population was already very dense.There is a clear difference from other Gnome people who only live in small cities.

There are occasional temples built in red sandstone in the village—or it should not be called a temple, because it is too small to be called a shrine.

But even in villages inhabited by ordinary people in the outskirts, such shrines for worship and sacrifice can be seen everywhere, which shows that the local people generally worship one or more gods devoutly.

I just don't know if there are any gods dedicated to Amon among these tall and straight buildings.

While Erich was admiring the scenery on both sides of the strait, the high priest Senmut also came to the side of the ship.

"Has the High Priest ever been to Thebes?"

Arriving at the destination soon, Alicia was in a good mood, and there was a bit of joy in her voice.

"Returning to Your Highness, I have been traveling between the Nomes in Lower Egypt in the past, and this is the first time I have come to Thebes." Senmut responded very respectfully.

Ailixi didn't answer, as the first princess, it was also her first visit to Thebes.

But before transmigrating, she had read a lot of travel landscape albums, and she would not be unaware of such a resounding name as Luxor.

After the two exchanged a sentence, they both paid attention to the customs on the shore and had no intention of continuing to chat.

But at this time Nanna came to Alixie's side and whispered in her signature loud voice, which suddenly broke the tranquility of the ship's side.

"The people from Thebes are really good enough——Miss's reputation has already resounded throughout Upper Egypt, but Thebes has not expressed it at all. Such a large-scale royal ship honor guard is about to arrive. No one even came to ask. Will they be able to handle so many ships docking at the same time?"

"Hasn't Gregor been to Thebes?"

Alicia didn't care too much about it.She thought that since the imperial pilot had been here, there was always a way.

"Gregor has already rowed a small boat to the front pier. I reminded him that he must fight with reason."

"Isn't that Gregor?"

With sharp eyes, Senmut pointed to a small boat coming down the river.

Alicia also leaned out and took a look—it was indeed Gregor, the royal navigator. His body was stiff, and he was sitting on the keel boat that sailed through the water through the wind and waves.

The few people sitting next to her didn't know each other, they were supposed to be locals, and Erich guessed that they were the officials in charge of the pier.

Soon the boat arrived at the side of the king's boat where Erich was, and the sailors on the small boat quickly threw the cable onto the king's boat, fastened it fast, and then laid the gangplank.

The officials of Upper Egypt immediately set foot on Erich's royal ship with their heads held high.Gregor followed them instead.

Alicia stood calmly on the side of the ship, waiting for the officials to come to her.

Unexpectedly, these officials looked around on the king's ship and skipped over Ailixi who was wearing casual clothes.

They glanced around and didn't realize that the first princess was there, so they turned to Gregor, and the leader snorted through his nostrils: "Where is your princess?"

Ai Lixi didn't care, but this annoyed Nanna, the God of War.Immediately, the head maid raised her hard bow and mounted an arrow, and at the same time roared angrily.

In the entire royal ship, except for the high-ranking Erich, Senmut, and Kong Si, everyone's ears were buzzing, and it took a long time for it to stop.

The faces of the officials were suddenly not very good-looking.

They were led by Gregor to Erich, and after a relatively stiff salute, one of the leaders introduced himself: "So that Her Majesty the Princess of Lower Egypt will know that we are not sailors or dock officials, are we? Which servant can call and drink..."

Still holding the bow and arrow, Nanna snorted from her nasal cavity.

The man trembled immediately, which showed that he was still stern in the end.

But the visitor still chose to slap his face swollen to make himself fat, and the person who spoke insisted on introducing: "We are the priests of the largest Temple of Amon in Thebes!"

This is great, people who know the inside story instantly turned their eyes to Elyse, and even Elyse himself, an old saying flashed in his mind: The flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple... No, Amon Temple, my family doesn’t recognize it own family.

Unexpectedly, the priest of Amon went on to say: "This afternoon, the city of Thebes will hold a sacrifice to the god Amon. After the sacrifice, there will be a celebration. At that time, all the civilians around Thebes will come to the Karnak Temple to pay their respects. Sacrifice to the gods. The pier of Thebes will also be closed."

"The first princess from Egypt, let alone you, even if the pharaoh came in person, we Thebes will also stand in the way of Amon's sacrificial ceremony."

The priest will show his contempt for the royal family of Lower Egypt to the fullest, and at the end he is plausible.

"No matter what your identity is, you can't be compared with the gods, right?"

"Then please park the boat outside the city and wait for a day or two before entering the city!"
