Chapter 1004

The 5th day of the 10th month: Ramesses II summoned the Egyptian ruling class to explain the necessity of reforming the Hebrew slave system, proposing that "solving it from above is better than solving it from below."

The 6th day of the 10th month: Ramesses II established the Hebrew Affairs Committee, promulgated the "General Decree on Hebrew People Leaving Slavery," and proposed: Hebrews who have left their slave status enjoy the same rights as other Egyptian residents, such as free trade, freedom of marriage, labor remuneration, etc. According to these regulations, the Hebrew tribe obtained the rights of "people." They were no longer like livestock that could be bought and sold at will, and from this day on, they were officially renamed from Hebrews to the Hebrew tribe.

Once this policy was issued, Hebrews all over the country couldn't help but cheer.

"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world," Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh.

No one understands what it means to be inclusive and understands what national integration is better than China.

Being able to unite fifty-six ethnic groups together—what a great undertaking this is.

What if the Hebrews and Egyptians have grudges? The Mongols, Manchus, Qiang, and dynasties, etc. —which ethnic group didn't have estrangement from the Han people in their ancestors? But now, who can say they are not a part of China?

I dare not say anything else, but at least in the Northwest, Northeast, Mongolia, and other regions, they have been intermarrying for hundreds of years. How many people dare to say they are pure Han, and how many dare to say they are pure ethnic minorities?

As long as the Hebrews live with the Egyptians, let alone hundreds of years, after a few decades, they will probably merge perfectly.

The 7th day of the 10th month: A boy who didn't know where he came from stood up directly and shouted: "You will not get the kind of freedom you want from Ramesses II. You are still slaves of the Egyptians, servants of Ramesses II. Although you have obtained liberation, without land and without money, how will you live! Return to Jianan! Return to your home! Only there can you truly be the masters!"

For a time, many Hebrews reacted. They realized that although they had gotten rid of their slave status, they were still living in misery!

"Damn! Playing dirty with me, huh!"

Lin Ye saw that something was wrong immediately. You could guess who that boy was with your butt!

However...

"Then let me show you my methods."

The 8th day of the 10th month: Ramesses II promulgated the "Egyptian Local Institution Decree," allowing the Hebrews to establish local autonomous institutions, directly under the jurisdiction of Ramesses II, and appointed Moxi as the first Governor.

In terms of primitive accumulation, Ramesses II promulgated the "Egyptian Work-for-Relief Management Regulations." Ramesses II prepared to invest in the construction of some infrastructure projects, including but not limited to: the Abu Simbel temples, the Great Temple of Dendera, the Great Temple of Karnak, and other glorious complex temples.

The Hebrew tribe could obtain labor remuneration for participating in the construction of wonders, thereby ensuring the survival of the Hebrews.

Once these two regulations were issued, almost all the Hebrew tribesmen defected instantly.

And at this moment, the boy couldn't help but stand up again and shout loudly:

"Don't you see it yet? In the end, aren't you still slaves of Ramesses II? It's just that the name has been changed. Why would you linger in such a place!"

However, at this time, Lin Ye also said loudly: "Of course there is a difference. Ra II will pay you wages! This money absolutely belongs to you! You can use it to buy houses and land, or you can use it to get married and have children.

By the way... since you are free people, you can naturally return to Jianan if you want to. But what about travel expenses? Look at how empty-handed you are now. On this road, are you planning to rely on begging to get back!"

Lin Ye's words poked the soft underbelly of this group of people. They had lived here for 400 years. As long as Ramesses II no longer oppressed them, they had almost a 100% certainty of living here. But once they left here, what they would be stepping onto was a completely unknown journey.

"That's right, we can't leave!"

"That's right, we finally waited for good days, how can we just leave like this!"

"And didn't Ramesses II say he was going to establish some autonomous region? If so, what's the difference between that and us going back?"

"Of course there's a difference. It is said that place is still occupied by the Bharata people. If we go back, we still have to fight a great battle with them!"

Listening to these people's words, the boy on the side couldn't help but shout: "What about your piety to God! Don't worry! With God's protection, you will definitely be able to walk back to Jianan!"

God? Hearing this word, everyone also had some expectations in their hearts...

However, Lin Ye on the side said insidiously at this moment: "May I ask? Under the protection of the great God, how long will it take them to return to Jianan?"

"Of course, it only takes eleven days!" the boy said proudly.

Lin Ye asked again: "Are you sure? Why don't you open your clairvoyance and take a look?"

Jehovah must have Clairvoyance EX; after all, Solomon had it, so it wouldn't make sense if He didn't.

The boy was stunned, then closed his eyes. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said helplessly: "Alright, it might take 40 years, but..."

"No 'buts'. What? Can the sin of blasphemy be forgiven?" Lin Ye said so.

Originally, Moxi led the Hebrews out of Egypt to Jianan in only an eleven-day journey. Although the Hebrews brought a lot of miscellaneous items at that time, it only took a few months.

But the problem was that after they arrived in Jianan, the Canaanites stationed there didn't treat them as compatriots.

These Hebrews feared the tall and fierce Canaanites, so they actually began to complain about God. So God punished them not to enter the Jianan region, so these Hebrews wandered outside for 40 years. It wasn't until 40 years later, after these people who had complained about God had all died, and even the 120-year-old Moxi had passed away, that their descendants returned to Jianan under the leadership of Moxi's son, Joshua.

And both Lin Ye and Jehovah knew clearly that with the character of this group of people, they would definitely complain about God, and with Jehovah's character, He would definitely not let them off, so... this was an inevitable ending.

Seeing this, this group of Hebrews also immediately shouted loudly:

"Long live His Majesty Ramesses!"

"His Majesty Ramesses is merciful!"

Watching this group of guys change their tune on the spot, the boy's face turned livid! The next second, he flicked his sleeves and left!

Sure enough, this group of guys! There was simply no need to save them at all!!
