After Jelomin entered the city of London, he never stopped admiring his eyes and voice.

Although Francis Walsingham on the side maintained a decent and indifferent British attitude, his eyes still reflected the pride of trying to suppress it.

"Even in Barcelona, ​​it's rare to see such a clean street." As the illegitimate son of the Roman emperor, even if he didn't have a small court around him 24 hours a day like Philip II, But compared with ordinary people, it can definitely be called pampered, without pressure.

In particular, Jeromin's adoptive father and godfather not only served as the private secretary of Charles V, but also became a Spanish diplomatic envoy after Jeromin became sensible. So over the years, Jeromin has also traveled to many international countries with his adoptive father. Cities, for the bustling places in Europe, also have little research.

"William III is really a resourceful king." Sitting in the carriage to Whitehall Palace, Jelomin saw that most of the people coming and going were cleanly dressed and behaved properly, and could not help but praise: "I have seen people including Paris Many countries, including China, are suffering from public health problems. Not only is it difficult to stop the public dumping of manure, but it is even impossible to recruit enough people to deal with public waste.”

Jeromin looked to Francis Walsingham, expecting him to answer this question.

"His Majesty the King once expressed a very interesting point of view, that is, the work that no one does is either wronged or the money is not paid." Francis Walsim did not hide it from Jeromin Concealed, after all, this spread out policy cannot be concealed: "As long as enough money is given, who can refuse a job that is not onerous?"

"But don't they think it's dirty?" Jeromin was overwhelmed by Francesy Walsingham's simple and direct answer, so he asked, "I thought not so many people would give up their lives for money." Self-respect, after all..."

Jeromin did not go on, but Francis Walsingham understood him already.

"When you can't eat enough, it's better to give up your self-esteem than to give up your bottom line and belief." Francis Walsingham felt that the child was still too young.

If it were the Duke of Richmond who was "beaten" by William III, it is estimated that 800 years ago, he would not have said such idealistic words.

"In addition, in addition to increasing the income of sweepers and cleaning officers, His Majesty the King has also introduced the "Prohibition of Begging Act" and the "Prohibition of Throwing Dung on the Street" bills." Francis Walsingham said here, and added: "If you are not afraid of being kicked out of London or being fined and ruined, you can try the end of breaking the law."

William III was never a conservative, so after a bill was introduced, it would go through various revisions.

To a certain extent, this is unbearable for those who follow the rules.

But when they walk the clean streets and don't have to scrape the soles of their smelly shoes when they get home, William III's policies are bearable.

After listening to Francis Walsingham's explanation, Jeromin further understood why Charles V wanted him to study in the court of England.

Perhaps the closer he got to the Protestant king of England, the more he could understand why England rose rapidly after the Pavia War.

…………… I am the dividing line……………

"Don't choose such bright red for the curtains. This is a reception for foreign envoys and not a private party, so it should be more solemn."

"Also, all the utensils are replaced with silverware imported from the Netherlands, and the tablecloths are made of plaid fabrics I brought back from Scotland."

Because William III entrusted Francis Walsingham and the Duke of Richmond with the task of receiving Jerome, Mary Stuart, after confirming that Jerome had arrived in England, began to visit St James's Palace layout.

In the words of the king of England, it is too cheap to hold a large banquet in Whitehall Palace for the illegitimate son of the Roman emperor.Therefore, it is most appropriate for the Duke of Richmond, who is the crown prince and peer, to hold a private banquet in St. James's Palace.

And Mary Stuart, as the fiancee of the Duke of Richmond, naturally came into play at this time.

In other words, she volunteered to host the banquet, which can be regarded as practicing for herself.

"Your Majesty, which of these two Scottish plaids do you want to use?" The headmaid of St. James's Palace, who was being directed by Mary Stuart, raised her hand while Mary Stuart was sending the steward away. asked Mary Stuart, picking up two checked handkerchiefs that differ only slightly.

"This one! This one matches the color of the curtains better." Mary Stuart observed carefully and hesitated for a long time before making a choice.

"Also, use the one with the blue stripes as a tablecloth. If anyone asks where the tablecloths and tablecloths come from, be sure to tell them it's Scottish tartan." Mary Stuart always wanted to do something for her people What, it's a pity that in addition to the rolling mountain lakes, Scotland is only famous for animal husbandry and oats.

Mary Stuart also thought about developing Scotland's national dish, haggis.It's a pity that she and the palace chef tried for a long time, but they couldn't make the morel to suit the taste of the public, so under the plot, the Queen of Scots, who has a keen sense of fashion, stared at the very distinctive Scottish plaid.

In fact, the Scottish grid was only a creation used by the Celts to distinguish social classes at the beginning.

Because the size, color, and density of the grid can be arranged in different combinations, and it does not have high requirements for handcraftsmen's skills like coats of arms and lace, it is naturally sought after by Scottish society. , and also attracted Mary Stuart.

Under the bold creativity of the little queen, a Scottish plaid cloak with white fox fur has been sought after by countless people, and the subsequent Scottish plaid parasols and Scottish plaid furniture layout are also in line with what Queen Juana favored. Like shell carving ornaments, it has become the new favorite of the upper class.

Because one class always wants to use various methods to distinguish itself from another class, it has higher requirements for sculptors and longer construction period than shell carving jewelry.

The cost of Scottish plaid is obviously more acceptable.

If William III knew of Mary Stuart's plan, he would jokingly claim that his eldest daughter-in-law was the earliest queen of goods and a developer of light luxury.
