From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

When Nanna was patrolling the Nomes in Upper Egypt, distributing fast-growing wheat seeds to the commoners there, and planting a huge baobab tree in the square, Elyse was naturally in Thebes, using Primal Seeds, step up to produce these wheat seeds, and baobab seeds.

As for why Elise wanted Nanna to plant a baobab tree in every city besides the fast-growing wheat seeds——

This is the result of Alicia's careful consideration.

In order to impress the whole of the Nomes in Upper Egypt with the divine gift of God Amon, only the fast-growing wheat was given, which in Erich's opinion was not enough.

She needs Nanna to leave behind in every Nome, every city, a huge crop that cannot be ignored, and at the same time it is extremely strange, people have never seen it, but it is quite practical.

Baobab is one such tree species.

Erich asked everyone around her, and even Senmut, who claims to be knowledgeable and knows everything, has never heard of this species.

Only Satiri and his Utao tribe have heard about it from the legends of their ancestors.

But for Erich, as long as the species exists, she can plant it on Egyptian soil.

The benefits of the baobab tree to various Egyptian cities are also obvious-in addition to the edible and medicinal fruits and bark, the body of the baobab tree can also store water. Trees that can save lives.

In addition, in order to draw the big cake believed by the god Amon, Erich wanted the whole Upper Egyptians to know the promise of God: "Give food to hunger, and water to thirst".

Satisfy the desire for food and drink first, and then wait until she makes the next step of the plan and then spread out slowly as for giving clothes to the naked body and giving the boat to the needs.

All the crop seeds she created with the original seeds in Thebes can be guaranteed to grow and mature in the shortest time after sowing.

But their problem is the same, the fruits produced by these crops cannot be sown again.

Therefore, the baobab tree planted by Nanna in Asiut can provide the people of this city with sweet and delicious juice and seeds rich in plant fat...but it is not so easy for these seeds to take root elsewhere up.

Elysee therefore also worked hard to control the number of these large trees to ensure that it would not easily change the ecology of Upper Egypt.

And these large trees that can last forever, but cannot reproduce.After a few years, it will become a miracle left by God Amon on the earth, and will be worshiped by the Upper Egyptians for generations.

Of course, Erich didn’t know that at this time, the spies from Lower Egypt had obtained fast-growing wheat and baobab fruits from Asiut, and secretly sent them to Lower Egypt, where they were quickly sent to Memphis. , Report the news to Pharaoh——Upper Egypt has found a solution to the food problem.

Once these wheat seeds and baobab fruit were sent to Memphis, they caused a sensation.

Pharaoh once deliberately made the Upper Egyptians abandon their gradually formed beliefs because of a famine and return to Pharaoh's rule.

But now, that plan seems impossible.

As soon as the news came out, people in Memphis were dubious.

So these wheat seeds and baobab seeds were planted in the open space in front of the temple of Osiris.

"Three days!"

Word spread among the Memphis that the spies had returned.

"It only takes three days for these wheat seeds to head and mature, and this strange fruit can grow into a towering giant tree."

People were waiting outside the temple with big eyes and small eyes.

One day, two days, three days...

Seeing that there was no movement on the ground, curious people pulled up the soil covering these seeds, and saw that they not only showed no sign of germination.On the contrary, there was even a little sign of decay.

Wheat is still wheat, lying still in the shell, and the seeds of the baobab tree were taken out of the soil by the monkeys living near the temple.

Seeing this, the Memphis people all said in unison: "Cut—"

Then he turned and walked away, ever since dismissing this hearsay from Upper Egypt.

Although the spy who came from Asiut tried to explain to people everywhere, desperately describing how he saw with his own eyes, wheat seeds can grow anywhere people can think of, and how magical the tall baobab tree is .But it is clear that people no longer believe his rhetoric.

The poor man was considered a foolish believer who had mistakenly believed in the god Amon.

Or he sent back false news that the Upper Egyptians deliberately wanted the Lower Egyptians to know.

The people of Memphis took this as a joke and let it go.

But not long after, another legend gradually emerged in the city of Memphis: People said that the reason why those miraculous seeds could not be successfully planted in front of the Temple of Osiris was because... the rich authority of God Osiris had gradually been eroded .

The news had spread in Memphis for a while as the well had dried up, but was suppressed by Pharaoh.

But now this rumor is well-spoken, hidden underground, and widely circulated.Can't help but let the people of Memphis not believe it.

Erich laughed very happily when she heard the rumor from her favored Solan - not only Pharaoh had spies in Upper Egypt;

Upper Egyptians wanted to do something in Lower Egypt, and there were plenty of opportunities and hands.

On the contrary, Solan took this matter as part of his task of understanding the status of Osiris, and after seriously reporting it to God Amon, he asked for a round of merit as usual.

Erich was noncommittal, but because Solan really cared about these things, Solan's wheel of fortune moved forward.

And she also realized that Solan, the favored one, was different from Tabak and others.

He doesn't like to complete the tasks assigned by the gods one by one, he prefers to make his own decisions - but as long as it doesn't violate the general direction of Ailixi, Ailixi doesn't care about him.

On this day, Solan decided to go to the great priest Dahor to inquire about the inside story of the pharaoh's construction of the tomb.

So after his father came home, he took a moment to go to Dahool's room.

At the moment when he was approaching the door of Dahol's room, Solan originally wanted to push the door directly, but for some reason, he had a premonition. This premonition was not too strong, but it stopped him from rash actions.

Solan knocked on the door and called out in a low voice, "Father—"

There seemed to be a rustling sound in the room. After waiting for three breaths, Solan heard the high priest's consistent voice: "Come in."

Solan entered the room as he said, and sat down opposite to his father honestly, raised his head, and looked at his father Dahor who was sitting on the opposite side of a short table.

This high-ranking Lower Egyptian eunuch was already old, his hair was gray, and the hair on the top of his head was about to fall out, revealing a small piece of light on the top of his head.

His face is still rich, but when he smiles, his face is wrinkled-this is far from the father in Solan's memory.

Soran may really hate the father who tortured, persecuted, and humiliated him in the past.

But he also admitted that he really couldn't keep a straight face and pretend to be a feud in the face of an old man who could cover his eyes with creases when he smiled.

So Solan finally called Dahor in a good voice: "Father!"

Dahool nodded with a smile, and asked Solan, "Would you like to ask when you can lead the army?"

Solan was taken aback, knowing that his father still understood him - as a former commander of the frontier army, Solan dreamed of returning to his team and being with his former comrades.

But that wasn't all he was about.

"Yes... By the way, come and ask Pharaoh's plan, father, do you know why His Majesty is so eager to build a tomb for himself?"

Dahol's pair of small eyes, which were almost covered by the upper eyelids, opened a little wider. For a moment, he did not speak, but looked at Solan, as if he was exploring: Why did my son suddenly care about this? coming.

Immediately, Dahor's gaze fell on Soran's right arm.

Solan's habit, he doesn't like wide and wide sleeves.Therefore, either wear a sleeveless linen waistcoat, or like to tie the sleeves up with a linen rope and tie them to a gold armband worn on the upper arm.

And he also particularly likes to put his hands on his left and right knees when he sits down. At this moment, his left and right forearms are wantonly exposed.

Dahool only glanced at it and then turned his gaze away, as if he just glanced there inadvertently.

"Solan, you also know that His Majesty has His Majesty's own plans. Only by speaking and doing things according to the king's will can he stay in his position for a long time."

"The king wants to repair the royal tomb, but you can stop him."

"But……"

Soran felt that he was choked back by Dahor's answer.The old father who was able to see into his own mind a moment ago is now an old waste who is obsequious before the kingship.

"Pharaoh suffered such a great humiliation in Thebes. How could it be possible that after returning to Memphis, he didn't resent his sister at all? He just pretended that there was no such thing and cut off contact with Upper Egypt directly. He didn't even plan to use troops. No?"

This is a point that Solan can't understand-it doesn't fit the Pharaoh's character.

Just imagine, after experiencing such humiliation, the king who wanted to abolish the princess just because he gave birth to a daughter.

Shouldn't it be a deliberate attempt to get revenge?Why did Delos want to build a tomb for himself?Did he think he would not live long?

Also, last time when discussing matters in the royal court of Memphis, Solan clearly felt that there was a pervasive gloom in the Pharaoh——

Perhaps the Pharaoh was once dark, cold, and easily angered, but this kind of deep gloom was something he had never experienced in Pharaoh before.

That's why Solan came to ask this father who he hated and feared from the bottom of his heart.

Dahool glanced at him with a smile: "Son, think about it, isn't this situation the best for our family?"

Solan?

Dahool: "Pharaoh didn't send troops, and went to build the tomb on his own. There will be no direct conflict with your sister. Our family stays in Memphis, and there is more room for maneuver."

Solan raised his right hand to support his chin, and looked at Dahor with puzzled eyes: Dad.Are you implying that you deliberately led the pharaoh to build the tomb?

Dahool seemed to realize Solan's speculation immediately, and said with a smile: "When it comes to building the tomb, His Majesty has indeed reached the age—"

There are many Egyptian pharaohs who spent three to forty years building beautiful tombs for themselves.

"There are so many gods around him, God Horus, and the envoys of the four god sons of Horus... Anyone may suggest that Pharaoh temporarily put aside the dispute with Lower Egypt and start building the tomb first .”

"As for Upper and Lower Egypt, after all, the two lands of red land and black land have never been truly united after Nitocris, and now they are just the same as before."

Dahor seems to be implying that it was the gods and angels who appeared around the pharaoh who dominated the pharaoh's decision.

Solan thought for a moment, then nodded—at this juncture, mobilizing [-] minions to build the tomb is indeed not something that Dahoor can guide the pharaoh to make a decision.

After thinking through all this, Solan got up and said goodbye to his father - he didn't want to stay in Dahool's room for a moment.

It wasn't until Solan walked out of Dahor's room that he suddenly remembered the danger that his intuition had prompted before he entered the room earlier.

Thinking back now, Soran felt that Dahor seemed to be hiding some secret in the room—a secret that could bring danger.

When he was going out, he happened to see a servant at home guarding the door of Dahool's room, and when he saw Solan coming out, he was shocked instinctively.

Solan was also obedient, knowing what secret the great priest's father might be hiding.So he cast a look, quietly led the servant to the other end of the house, and asked in a low voice, "Since you are supposed to serve father, why are you just guarding outside the door and not going in?"

Seeing that it was Solan who asked the question, the attendant dared not answer, and quickly said: "Now all the attendants have heard that you must knock on the door before entering the master's room—"

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said to Solan: "It seems that Mulima didn't knock on the door the day before and went in. After entering the room, the people outside heard him scream. The scream was terrible..."

Solan raised his eyebrows nonchalantly: ...the sound is scary?Will there be terrible screams on the battlefield?

But the attendant's face was pale, and he should have experienced a moment of shock.He continued to say to Solan in a trembling, barely audible voice: "Then Mulima disappeared, and everyone in the house... never saw him again..."
