"I heard that the king wanted to buy a batch of silk and porcelain from us. This is a batch of excellent porcelain and silk that we reserved for the king. The porcelain is from the official kiln of Jiangxi, and the silk is Su embroidery, and the price is 90% of the market price." Li Jinde heard that Charles I also wanted to buy porcelain and silk from him, so he agreed very quickly.

Charles I held a banquet for him of the upper class aristocrats. Li Jinde was quite grateful for this matter. In addition, China has had a tradition of reciprocating love since ancient times, so he reserved the best products for Charles I to satisfy Charles I's vanity.

"I thank you for Your Majesty the King. His Majesty the King is preparing for an envoy to the East China. You can make a recreation in our country of Britain during this period. Although we may be as big as you, there are always some different places. I can arrange a few servants for you to serve as guides." Earl of Strafford said.

"What are the best places to go in your country?" asked Li Jinde, who didn't know much about Britain.

"If you want to experience our culture, maybe you can go to Oxford or Cambridge, where our most active scholars will become pastors, judges, doctors and administrators in the future," said Count Strafford.

"Oxford University, Cambridge University? It seems to be the same place as our academy and the Academy of Sciences... Are you interested in going to take a look?" Li Jinde heard Count Straffor mentioning two famous universities in Britain, and he couldn't help but associate it with the academy and the Academy of Sciences. It seems that people from the Academy of Sciences will also serve as judges, doctors, and administrators. Of course, the Academy of Sciences also trains engineers and nurses, which are more comprehensive than the universities here.

"Of course I have to go. This time I come to Britain, it will be better to have a more experience." Several apprentices agreed.

They also want to see what European schools look like.

"Oxford University is on the west side of London City, and Cambridge University is on the north side of London City. I wonder which university you want to visit?" asked Count Stratford.

"Go to Cambridge University to take a look." Li Jinde picked one casually.

"I'll go and arrange it now," said Count Straffor and the others.

Earl of Stratford was still very efficient, and soon a large carriage came to pick up Li Jinde and others and took them to Cambridgeshire, north of London.

Originally, this university could train scientific masters such as Newton and Darwin in the future, but these talents had been summoned by Chu Yun in advance to contribute to the three transformations of the country.

Li Jinde and his friends saw the stone brick walls and the tall three-story limestone complex from afar.

"Western people like stone buildings very much, and like to build tall buildings, even if they are not churches..." Li Jinde looked at the building complex of Cambridge University that was about to arrive in the carriage.

"We use the most civil and cultural heritage, which is not so strong in comparison." said an apprentice.

"It takes too much time to polish stones. Our population is large, and civil buildings are faster. As the saying goes, "A gathering in one year, a city in two years, and a city in three years." If a large amount of stone is used, when will so many people live in houses?" Li Jinde discovered some different places and tried to explain the reasons.

"Shopkeeper, that is to say, if we can quickly build stone buildings, civil buildings will become stone buildings in the future?" asked the apprentice.

"It should be true that there are more people living in stone tall buildings after all. However, civil buildings have cultural heritage and should be preserved together. Or wealthy people can own civil gardens." Li Jinde thought about seeing a large number of stone tall buildings here.

In the future, the population of China will increase greatly, and with the increase in demand for industrial land and commercial land, flat and short civil buildings may not be enough to accommodate so many people. The improvement of production technology makes it easy to build stone buildings, especially cement buildings, and durable stone buildings will eventually gradually replace civil buildings. At that time, it is very likely that the rich can only have independent civil gardens.

The collision of different cultures made his thinking gradually open. People at that time were definitely not pedantic and unchanging. As long as they saw it, they would eventually change their thinking. Just like the status of craftsmen in the Jiangnan region of the Ming Dynasty had been greatly improved, and they could leave their own names on their works. In Chu Yun's hands, they even promoted technical talents to a higher position, no lower than officials.

"At this time, this is the Peterhouse College Chapel at the University of Cambridge, which was opened a few years ago." The translator, who was the guide, introduced them to the new building.

Li Jinde looked up to this tall stone building that combines Renaissance elements and Gothic style, which was somewhat shocking.

Pastors and scholars who came and went to Cambridge University saw a few people wearing Hanfu coming and looked at each other strangely. Most of them did not know that a Chinese ship had arrived in London.

The arrival of Li Jinde and his friends caused a great sensation at Cambridge University, and many pastors and scholars came to meet the legendary Chinese.

"They are guests who came from far away China, right? They are a bit similar to the image depicted by missionaries, but they are a little different."

"Their language is different from ours, and they should not understand what we say."

A group of scholars gathered together to comment on Li Jinde and others.

It doesn't matter to Li Jinde and others. In this month, their group has become celebrities in London. Every day, citizens appear near their residences, wanting to see what people in the powerful Eastern country look like.

"Cambridge University is composed of different colleges. I will take you to visit the buildings of different colleges and then go to the cafeteria to have a meal." The person sent by Earl Stratford as a guide said to Li Jinde and others.

"I'm working hard." Li Jinde clasped his fists.

His actions attracted a stir among many scholars from Cambridge University and were even more curious about the East. At this time, Europeans saw that there were only two types of civilizations in the world, one was European civilization, and the other was Chinese civilization. Even the powerful Ottoman Empire was a barbarian in the eyes of Europeans.

"Where did those people come from?" A female nobleman holding a parasol asked Li Jinde and others who were watched by scholars.

"Miss Salina, allow me to go and ask," said the servant.
