Part of the war reparations from the Kingdom of France were sent to the City of London. Sun Chuanting specifically asked King Louis XIII of France to send them to the City of London with a few treasures from the Louvre as part of the war reparations.

One of the treasures was sent to Chu Yun as a spoil for Sun Chuanting and other officers to seek credit.

The purpose of fighting outside the ocean is certainly not to defend the country. As officers, they pursue military merits.

"This is the authentic Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, one of Louis XIII's most precious collections." The officer who returned from the French battlefield was still afraid that Chu Yun would not know the value of this collection in the West, so he explained to him.

How could Chu Yun not know about such a work? He was a little surprised that Sun Chuanting and the others forced King Louis XIII to hand over his treasured collection.

In this world, Chu Yun has witnessed many treasures with his own eyes, not only the royal treasures in the Forbidden City, but also the treasures from the Japanese shogunate, the Mughal Red Fort in India, etc., almost all of them were plundered through war, from calligraphy and paintings to jewelry.

This time it was finally the turn of Western art...

Chu Yun thought he had no ability to appreciate artworks. Mona Lisa was just an ordinary woman in the Italian Renaissance and was not considered a beauty. But he was still very satisfied with obtaining this painting because it was a work from the Renaissance and was given a certain meaning. The human nature of the West began to override the divinity during the Renaissance.

Although the Renaissance and the East have little relationship.

"My husband likes women from Florence, Italy?"

Sophia, Ella, Da Yuer and others were a little surprised when they saw Chu Yun get the painting, and they thought Chu Yun would be so good at this.

"Things are not..."

The reason why Chu Yun was surprised was that he saw the authentic oil painting he had previously remembered in this world, and the painting was just flowing into his hands.

"I will keep this painting for Florence." Chu Yun said this on the surface, but in fact he wanted to keep it. As for the storage, permanent storage is also storage, right?

"Let me see, this painting has nothing unique. I can just find a court painter to draw such oil paintings." Sophia, like Chu Yun, did not appreciate these paintings very much.

The Queen's room has a fireplace, which is not made of coal, but firewood specially provided for the royal family.

The youngest son, Xiner, sat on Chu Yun's lap. After this period of time, he finally subconsciously accepted the existence of Chu Yun, the father.

Sofia taught him Chinese since childhood... Although Sofia still has a certain accent, Xiner has received Chinese education.

As the only crown prince of the Stuart royal family, he must also receive education from the traditional royal family to gain support from the English.

Chu Yun didn't know how to deal with this young son. The better way was to gradually orient the Stuart royal family in the future and forcefully integrate from the upper level of the United Kingdom.

If the United Kingdom people knew that Chu Yun planned to try to merge and merge them with population advantage, it was estimated that the United Kingdom would uprising and overthrow Queen Sophia's rule - the conspiracy theory that continental countries were worried that England would be eroded by the East would become a reality.

"This winter is over, and I plan to return to the capital." Chu Yun said.

When Sophia heard Chu Yun say she was leaving the city of London, she held the painting's hand and trembled slightly: "Is it so fast?"

"My basic position is in the East, and this arrival has basically achieved its goal. The continental kingdom is still very tenacious. Even if they are allowed to surrender temporarily, their civilians will resist. It is better to leave temporarily and let them relax a little. When they come again, they will not be blocked by their bastion as they are now..."

Chu Yun thought to himself that he would come up with a higher level of technology when he went back.

During the period when he left Beijing, he did not let go of technical research in Beijing. He probably would have been surprised to find some breakthroughs in certain fields after he returned. The industrial revolution system he owned was also accumulating civilization points and preparing for the next industrial breakthrough.

In fact, many technologies have come out, but the resources or supporting facilities are not yet ready, such as oil and roads required for automotive technology.

Some technologies have defects and are not fully practical, such as the breeze problem of breeze-mounted cannons.

"But what should I do with Xiner? He hasn't been with my father for long..." Sofia said almost holding back her tears.

"The submarine cable is being laid from Mumbai, India to the Red Sea, and will pass through Egypt and arrive at the City of London in the Mediterranean. It is estimated that the submarine cable project has now pulled the submarine cable to Egypt's land, and will complete a section of laying work on the land with the help of the Venetians. It may be possible to lay it to the City of London in less than two years. At that time, the City of London will also be incorporated into our telegraph network..."

Chu Yun was helping the Venetians gain rule in the Lower Egypt. In return, the Venetians gave the Chinese a series of privileges to build the Suez Canal and pass through Egypt, including the only long land route of the Eurasian submarine cable program.

Before the Suez Canal was successfully opened, in order to avoid the detour of the African Storm Corner, the Eurasian submarine cable chose to take the route to Egypt into the Mediterranean.

Sophia didn't hear Chu Yun say anything else. Now she was sobbing. Ella and Da Yuer hurriedly went up to comfort her.

Xiner didn't know why her mother would cry and looked at her father helplessly.

Chu Yun just sighed in a low voice. After all, the identities of the two people must not be together for a long time. There are a lot of things in the East waiting for him to go back to deal with. At least until the newcomer becomes an adult, England and Scotland will not let the queen who can handle things leave here.

The current United Kingdom is similar to a dual constitutional monarchy. The queen has great power as a monarch. The prime minister and cabinet members are appointed by the queen. If Sophia leaves here, it will probably be in chaos.

"I will send invitations to countries around the world, even the Ottoman Empire, the Bangladesh Kingdom, and the Persian Empire. In 1650 AD, our Dongfang Capital will hold the Wanfang Capital Expo. All countries can come with their own specialties or treasures, and we will also show them the current industrial machinery of the East. In a few years, we will send steamboats to various countries to pick up their ambassadors. I hope that after they see the huge gap between them, they will not make unnecessary resistance. They will also pick you up to the capital at that time." Chu Yun talked about the arrangements that would be a few years later.
