[Avodah] Yosef advise pharaoh

[Danny Schoemann]

R' Joel Rich asked:

"Why did Yosef advise  pharaoh   to plan for the seven years of plenty and
> seven years of famine in a way which would centralize the entire Egyptian
> economy under the pharaoh's direct control?"
>

If you read the story as it's written (not how the ganenet tells it) you
will see that, with the exception of pharaoh describing the 7+7 cows, it
doesn't say that the "plentiful years" were gobbled up by the lean years
without any trace.

Au contraire, it seems that the 7 lean years lean on the plentiful years
(pun intended).

Yosef, therefore saw this advise as part of the deciphering of the dream.

That's a pshat I saw recently.
