In three years, the city of Cairo has already recovered from the damage caused by that incident.
Relying on the financial revenue obtained from the Suez Canal, Chen Mo invested heavily in the city's municipal construction. Today's Cairo has clean streets, beautiful buildings, and rigorous planning. It can be said to be a very beautiful city.
The pyramid built by Immorton for Chen Mo was also completed a year ago and served as Chen Mo's residence and office.
The entire pyramid is one hundred meters high. In today's Cairo, it is the tallest building in the city. From any direction in Cairo, you can see this white pyramid with a golden top.
The large building built in front of the pyramid was originally used as a temple to worship the Pharaoh, but now it is the office area of the Egyptian government.
The inside of the huge pyramid is made of special black masonry, and the outside is wrapped with white limestone. This is the traditional Egyptian pyramid construction method. After all, if the pyramid of Khufu is all made of stones, the construction period will be too long, so
It’s hard to find a lot of stones.
After the pyramid was built, although it was said to be his residence, he actually worked in the office area in front of the pyramid most of the time, or did research in the underground mage tower.
As for the rooms in the pyramid, they are really just used for sleeping.
Of course, such a huge pyramid cannot be used just for sleeping.
Immorton strictly followed Chen Mo's requirements when building the pyramid. As the tallest building in Cairo, it is also the hub and core of Cairo's city-level resurrection array. It is responsible for providing resurrection services to the dead in Cairo, and
Control the resurrected undead.
In order to match this majestic pyramid, Chen Mo also hired professional designers to re-plan Cairo City, differentiated special urban functional areas, and approved a series of urban transformation plans, and provided
A lot of money was invested in this.
In order to implement urban planning, many old buildings and shantytowns in the city were demolished, and after re-planning, the land was used for the construction of new buildings.
While demolishing shantytowns has cleared out a large number of people and freed up land, it has also eradicated many stubborn urban diseases. After all, everyone knows that shantytowns are synonymous with "dirty, messy, and bad". Diseases and crimes are rampant here, and they are the nutrients that nourish the city.
A hotbed of chaos.
And with the construction of factories in Aswan, Chen Mo also needs a large number of workers with brains, not undead with low IQs.
With the establishment of the city-level resurrection circle, the newly resurrected souls retain their wisdom during their lifetime, but three years is not enough to change people's ideas. In addition, it has only been about a year since the corpse tax and the resurrection law were promulgated. People are currently
There are not many undead with wisdom who have not yet adapted to this new model, leading to new resurrections.
Although these intelligent undead are high-quality labor force, the number is too small and they are quickly robbed by various places that need labor force.
However, there is still a shortage of large amounts of labor in various construction sites and factories built by the country.
Therefore, this group of people cleared from shantytowns naturally became an important source of labor.
Although for Chen Mo, it is the most economical and efficient way to directly turn these living people who need to consume food into undead souls that can better control the food, but considering the international impact and sustainable development issues, Chen Mo still did not do this.
exaggerate.
In fact, for a necromancer, taking control of a country and directly turning people into undead is a huge waste.
Because it is impossible for corpses to reproduce offspring, although it is not that there are no necromancers to study this, from a modern scientific perspective, it is not impossible as long as the organs are kept active, but this obviously requires a very high cost investment.
Therefore, maintaining a certain base proportion of the living population and allowing the population to reproduce naturally is the correct way to turn corpses into renewable resources.
Turning all living people into dead people at once can indeed yield a large number of corpses, but at the same time this is also a one-time deal, which is very uneconomical in the long run.
Therefore, Chen Mo asked the Egyptian government to take necessary resettlement measures and provide basic literacy education to train these people into qualified workers and labor force.
"Your Majesty, the current clean-up work in Cairo's shanty towns is progressing very smoothly. The total number of people cleared out of the shanty towns is estimated to be approximately 214,000. The total population of Cairo has exceeded one million. This is all due to your wise leadership.
"An Egyptian official with red eyes and a fanatical expression was reporting work to Chen Mo.
The reason why Chen Mo is called His Majesty is because more than two years ago, he declared himself the king of Egypt, and this was recognized by the United Kingdom and the United States respectively.
At Chen Mo's coronation ceremony, the British also sent the crown prince who would become Edward VIII in the future to attend, which could be said to have given Chen Mo a lot of face.
The United States only sent a diplomatic envoy, which was much inferior in this regard.
"Cairo has a population of more than one million, but there are more than 200,000 people living in shantytowns?" Listening to the officials' reports, Chen Mo was not happy because of the population growth. On the contrary, he was more worried about the poor people in the country.
quantity.
However, this is also determined by the current era and social environment. After all, it is only 1928, and most countries in the world have a very high proportion of poor people.
So Chen Mo just frowned and said: "The training of these people must be accelerated. There is a shortage of qualified workers everywhere in the country. These people must be transformed into qualified labor force as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The official nodded seriously and recorded Chen Mo's instructions.
These vampires transformed by Ada Wang have fanatical and absolute loyalty to Chen Mo. It is precisely because of this that Chen Mo can achieve absolute control over the country.
Because the heads and main officials of Egypt's important departments are now vampires, the control from the bloodline guarantees their absolute loyalty.
This also leads to the fact that speaking ill of Chen Mo in Egypt is a very costly thing. If it is just ordinary people, it is fine, but if these officials hear it, they may be caught and locked up in prison, or even sentenced to heavy punishment.
.
Chen Mo was naturally very satisfied with the loyalty of his subordinates, which was why he was confident enough that even if he traveled across the world, there would be no problems with the country.
After more than three years, Chen Mo has built a cross-world teleportation array based on the knowledge and information recorded in the spell book. He can carry out cross-world teleportation by himself, and he himself can't wait to start a new one again.
