"We intend to rent this place as the main hall of our Chinese Embassy in the West. We will arrange for craftsmen to build houses here for our ambassadors to handle Western affairs."

The Minister of Rites brought several officials to survey the west bank of the Thames River and chose a good area, intending to rent this place for a large amount of money to build the embassy main hall.

The Ministry of Rites has always borrowed the office of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Commerce in London in Western companies. This time, Chu Yun established diplomatic relations with the Ottoman Empire, the Republic of Venice, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and the Kingdom of Portugal. He used both soft and hard to open up some European markets. At this time, a group of outstanding diplomats were needed to stay in Europe to deal with the friction between the trade between the two sides.

Therefore, the General Pavilion of the Embassy in the West was established to manage all diplomats in European countries that established diplomatic relations.

The location of the Embassy in the West is not better than that of the City of London. It is not in the European continent but not far from the European continent, and can also be protected by Sophia.

"Next is the Westminster Palace in England's Parliament. If any diplomatic incident occurs, we can find the English as soon as possible. Similarly, the ambassadors of other kingdoms to London are also active in this neighborhood, so we can find them as soon as possible." An official said.

"I think this place is very good, so we will take this land as the land for the future embassy main hall. What do you think?" The Minister of Rites asked other colleagues.

"Yes." Other officials also felt that it was easier to communicate with the establishment of an embassy main hall next to the Capitol.

"There is another important question. Should we build wide garden buildings or tall stone buildings? Garden buildings can reflect our characteristics, but they appear a little low in front of their Gothic buildings, which may damage the majesty of our China, and they may not necessarily appreciate the uniqueness of our gardens. Only by building a building that is as tall as their Capitol can we show the style of our China, but such a building cannot be a wooden tower, which is incompatible with our diplomatic functions. It is really difficult to build the Embassy General Building."

The Minister of Rites looked at the Westminster Palace, which was dozens of meters high. He originally wanted to build a garden as the Ministry of Rites' office in the West, but he always felt like he was being overwhelmed by the height of the Capitol.

"Please ask the military leader for this matter." Officials of the Ministry of Rites planned to hand over this problem to Chu Yun.

As diplomatic relations with Western countries began to be established, the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites expanded, and a group of outstanding diplomats were needed to be sent here, and the Ministry of Rites became more important.

The Ministry of Rites determined the location of the Embassy General Hall, and then found Chu Yun, hoping to determine the architectural style of the Embassy General Hall building.

"Our gardens have wing rooms, courtyards, gardens, and pavilions. They don't seek height, but elegance. Don't care about height and face. Our embassy main hall should be built according to the characteristics of the gardens, and also export our architectural culture here, so that ambassadors from all over the world will know that they are our diplomatic institutions when they see our gardens. If they are really inappropriate in the future, then they will be rebuilt." Chu Yun didn't have any so-called. He believed that productivity will only be more developed in the future. It is not a simple matter to rebuild a cement building?

As for face, Chu Yun thinks that the thing that you want and don’t want is face. Some face cannot be lost, but there is no need to be face-saving. It must be tall and elegant. It is impossible to force the two different styles together, which will only make people feel inappropriate.

"Then we will hire workers to build the embassy's main hall according to the garden style." said an official from the Ministry of Rites.

"In addition, you can estimate the cost of the total museum. If it does not exceed the budget, you can arrange personnel to build it before we leave. In the future, our first batch of ambassadors to various countries will have our own place to arrive in London City." Chu Yun said.

"The subordinates understand." An official from the Ministry of Rites responded.

When Chu Yun visited Europe this time, he not only went to the Mediterranean to teach the Ottoman Empire a lesson. He was trying his best to open up the European market by using the means of winning over some kingdoms and suppressing some kingdoms. He also had to meet and negotiate with local powerful people and arrange diplomats, and was very busy.

During this period, he also won a little bit of love with Xiner, a son who was wandering in the West, and did not want his son to refuse to recognize himself after returning to the East.

Chu Yun didn't know what his future fate would be for his son who entered the Stuart family.

Being a king is still a relatively risky profession and may die.

While Chu Yun was busy deploying various things, Ella, as the director of the Intelligence Department, was not idle either.

From the day when Li Jinde led Western companies to open up the European market in large numbers, she sent intelligence personnel to Europe in batches year by year according to Chu Yun's instructions. The traces of intelligence personnel were more or less active in each major kingdom. A secret underground intelligence network was gradually formed in the continent, but the other party had not noticed it yet.

She took advantage of the opportunity to arrive in London City in person to recall the main intelligence leaders from all over the country, re-sort the intelligence network, and obtained some unexpected intelligence.

"The French King Louis XIII and the Cardinal Archbishop Mazaran secretly contacted the ambassadors of various countries, hoping to resist the expansion of the English and our continental and Atlantic Oceans. The main targets of France's contact were Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, the Holy Roman Empire princes, the Polish and Lithuanian Commonwealth, and even Tsarist Russia, which was not very accepted by Western Europe." Ella sent a piece of information to Chu Yun.

"France originally thought that if it defeated Spain, the colonial empire, could replace it and become the new overlord, but we did not expect that we would intervene at this time. However, Louis XIII was really making a big deal, and even united several of the most important powers in the continent, and even had the opponent of Spain."

When Chu Yun received the news that the European Kingdom planned to unite to deal with foreign enemies, he couldn't help but think that there were no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests.

Spain and France fought to the death, and the appearance of foreign enemies made them comrades with common interests.

"There is another important intelligence. King Christian IV of Denmark signed a peace treaty with Sweden at the cost of cede land. He seemed very dissatisfied with the treaty and planned to visit England... In terms of blood, Sophia is also the niece of the King of Denmark." Ella collected another piece of information.

"The King of Denmark is here too?" Chu Yun had just seen the King of Portugal. Now the King of Denmark is here again. Moreover, the King of Denmark seems to be full of resentment. If this continues, Europe will probably be divided into two camps.
