Answer:Egyptian peasants interacted with the government at the bureaucratic level. Tax collectors would collect food surplus and often scribes would supervise the construction of buildings. They also came into contact with governors and priests. The day-to-day business of the government was delegated to local governors, tax collectors, scribes, priests, and others. They handled government business in the name of the Pharaoh. Some of the public goods provided by the government was extensive irrigation systems and temples (praying to the gods ensured a good life and harvest).
