1852 CE to 1863 CE
Abbas's successor is Sa'id, the fourth son of Muhammad Ali.
He revives the works in agriculture, irrigation, and education begun by his father.
Under his rule, the first land law governing private landed property in Egypt is passed in 1858.
Sa'id abolishes the agricultural monopolies of his father by granting landowners the right to dispose freely of their produce as well as the freedom to choose what crops to cultivate.
He also introduces uniform military service and the first organized pension plan for public servants.
