The natural law of men becoming bad when they have money is obviously not suitable for us rich grandpas. He is obsessed with the princess and wife. In addition, he is engaged in various "strange tricks and tricks" all day long. When eating, there are piles of factory design models on the table, and he also said: "Xisi, I went to Tyndall of the Royal Academy tonight. It was the guy who studied magnets that I met at Princess Victoria's wedding that day. He said there was an interesting experiment related to light and asked me to take a look, don't prepare my supper."

Xixi: "Okay...what are your houses? So weird." She refers to the factory design model on the table.

Tangning: "Well, it's an oil refinery, used to extract useful ingredients in oil. Temasek Capital discovered oil in Malaya and finally discovered it! I was almost considered a liar. I wondered why I found it after searching for so long?" He didn't know that most of the Malayan oil resources were offshore, so he was lucky to find an oil field in the northern Baltic.

Xixi: "What's the use of oil?"

Tangning: "Now it is mainly used to refine paraffin, kerosene, and asphalt for road construction. In the future, it will be mainly used as fuel. Our automobile industry will become larger and larger. The fuel extracted from oil, mainly methanol, can be turned into hydrogen in fuel reformers, which will be a good supplement to current electrolytic hydrogen. It provides fuel to power plants in places where wind power is inconvenient."

Sissi: "Oh, that's great. London is short of electricity now. When will that magical carousel kite produce electricity? "

Tangning: "The progress is smooth, but this kind of large-scale equipment investment is very expensive. Small towns cannot do it, so methanol is still useful. I plan to have methanol dedicated transmission pipelines in most towns around the world. In addition to power generation, this can also be used to make fires and cook. Of course, it is best to use it to generate electricity. Open flames have fire hazards."

Xixi sighed softly.

Tang Ning looked up: "What's wrong?"

Xixi: "You care too much about technology and industry...I don't understand these."

Tang Ning: "This... you don't need to understand. It's good if 5% of humans do scientific research. Industry is only about 10% enough. You guys, just enjoy it. You can enjoy your music and art. Hehe, didn't you go to the Royal Academy of Art that day? Very good, I support you. By the way, what interesting works are there? Let me improve my artistic cultivation too!"

Sissi: "I went to see the artwork of the pre-Raphaelites..."

Tangning: "...What is the pre-Raphaelite?" fully demonstrated the ignorance of the rich.

Sissi: "Raphael is a Renaissance painting master who is as famous as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Have you ever heard of this?"

It seemed to be despised, Tang Ning quickly said, "Da Vinci has heard of it! He is also a master of science. He discovered the golden section. Hey, do you want to hear the scientific principles of golden section?"

Here comes again! Xixi covered her ears: "If you don't listen, don't listen to science!"

Well, Tang Ning put away his bad taste and continued to listen to his wife's literary and artistic stories.

Sissi: "This Raphael is best at painting the Virgin Mary, "The Virgin Mary on the Grass" and "The Virgin Mary of Florino", and the large-scale oil painting "The Virgin Mary of the Sistine". I have seen it in the master gallery of all generations in Dresden. It is really dignified, peaceful, beautiful and quiet, and can be regarded as Raphael's masterpiece."

Tangning: "Hmm? Then what?"

Sissi: "This pre-Raphaelites were the opposite of Raphael. Their Mile also drew a picture of the Virgin, haha, not the name of the Virgin, but "Christ_in_the_House_of_HisParents". Milei painted the Virgin so ugly, and Dickens scolded Milei the most fiercely. He said, 'This is really ugly. Compared with her husband and Christ, she is simply an old witch, and she is in the French shemale show, and it is also in the lowest tavern in England."

Tang Ning laughed: "This person named Milai dares to draw the Virgin like this. It's interesting. I want to go and see..."

Sissi: "Yes, Christ was painted by him as if he had rickets, which was so blasphemous that Queen Victoria was embarrassed to see it and asked someone to secretly send it to Buckingham Palace to watch it quietly! Humph, you anti-Christian, you really have a good impression of Mile. Tell you, Mile, is a bad guy. He robbed all the wives of Larkins, the former Raphaelite art critic. Fortunately, Larkins still supports him so much in the Times."

Tang Ning: "I'm so gossiping...I'll just see if I don't talk?"

Xixi: "Then go, I will serve as an art director for you. In this regard, you don't know anything."

Tang Ning: "Okay, let's go in the afternoon. I don't have to hurry to go to Tyndall's house anyway."

Sissi: "Okay, I didn't make any arrangements. Oh, when it comes to Queen Victoria, I want to ask, where is the title of Duke of London? Did the Queen refuse to give it?"

Tangning: "Hmm? Duke? Forget it, I am a great duke now, so we don't care about the title of Duke."

Sissi: "No! It's not another duke, it's the Duke of London! It's so powerful that you must get it, it sounds more majestic than the Grand Duke of Luxembourg."

Tangning: "This... I have a reputation for atheism now, and the Queen's family is embarrassed to interact with me. I think this title is difficult, and many people in the royal family oppose it. Although the Queen does not advocate the divine right of the monarch, she, the archbishop of the Anglican Church, still wants this little face, don't make things difficult for her."

Xixi pouted, obviously unhappy. Well, why do I always fall in love with the vain girl? Tang Ning promised: "Let's see if you have the chance."

Although the Oxford Auto Show has been well-known, it has not yet been unveiled. In other words, MINI has not officially started selling, and the cool appearance of "chess tattoo" still attracts attention everywhere. The vanity lady proudly carried her rich husband across the market and drove to the Royal Academy of Art. However, this time, the rich husband was confident that he could withstand any vanity of his wife, and even had a strong sense of intimacy with this negative quality.

When the little princess came to the Royal Academy of Art, she was so happy that she was stunned. After Tangning's assistant notified the grand duke of the hospital, the other party attached great importance to it and gathered a large number of artists dressed in weird appearances to wait here. It is not uncommon for the rich, but it is too valuable for the financial owners like Tangning who throw out a large amount of money to develop a certain cause. He lost 100,000 pounds a year at the British Museum. He generously donated money for international natural disasters, established funds for transportation rules, and contributed to FIFA. Artists basically relied on the tycoons to praise them. Leonardo da Vinci also needs to rely on the support of the Medici family to live a prosperous life, let alone contemporary artists?

This is not the point. Of course, the point is this dirty and messy place like a slum. The previous descriptions of religious figures were always glorious, but Mile used realism in this work and had a pre-Raphaelite deference to details.

It was still the Grand Duke's wife who was educated. If it weren't for her explanation, Tang Ning would not know anyone. He thought that the "apostle" was Jesus, and that the old lady St. Anne was the Virgin Mary, and thought that this Virgin was too old.

There is also a famous work by Mile, Downing, which is a heartbreaking scene of a lover breaking up due to religious differences. There are two major schools of Christianity. The ancient one is Catholicism, which regards the Roman Catholic Church as the authenticity and emphasizes the authority of the pope. Later, in the Reformation, in order to get rid of the control of the pope, the monarchs of various countries initiated by John Wycliff, Jan Huss, Martin Luther, John Calvin and others, paying attention to "being sincere will make one's soul work" and no longer being bound by the pope. This is another big school - Protestantism. From a doctrinal point of view, the spiritual constraints of Protestants were smaller than those of Catholicism, so later developed industrial countries were basically Protestants.

During the Reformation, in 1572, France once massacred Protestants in Paris in 1572. The protagonist of this work is a Yugnotist who was influenced by John Calvin. His lover tried to bind his arm with a white cloth strip symbolizing the Catholics. He hugged his lover's hand affectionately but firmly rejected her bondage. The girl looked up at her lover in despair and pitifully.

Mile and the Grand Duke Madam discovered that Downing was thinking about "A_Huguenot" and thought he was moved. In fact, Downing was thinking that Germany and France must have a battle, because North Germany, which was mainly Prussia, was mainly Protestant, while France is still mainly Catholic. Napoleon III was a Catholic. If not, it would be strange that he could become emperor.

The war between Catholicism and Protestantism is just a dog biting a dog for atheists. However, compared to Protestantism, it is a better dog, and a more free dog. Catholicism is centered on Rome, which is the same as the Tokugawa shogunate's control over Japan. It is also the farther away from Edo, the smaller the control of the shogunate, such as the Nagashu family and the Satsuma family. Far away from Italy's Baltic countries, Scandinavia (Northern Europe), Britain (very close to Scandinavia), and Northern Germany are all the base camps of Protestantism.

Under the leadership of all the artists of the Royal Academy of Art, the rich man visited the entire gallery and found a large number of religious works. He finally couldn't stand it anymore. He said to Mile: "Mr. Mile, if I asked for the creation of non-religious subjects, would you be willing to paint?"

Mile's body was shocked. The uneducated scientist did have such inappropriate thoughts, but he could not offend the great tycoon and said, "What kind of subject is it?"

Tangning: "Realistic paintings are not necessary, because with Leica cameras, what I need is an imaginative artist to help me complete a great science fiction project - to resurrect a large number of extinct animal fossils collected in the British Museum. Imagine what these animals look like before their lifetime. Biologists will provide a lot of information related to the living habits of these animals. I think this is an unprecedented school of painting. Once you start a school, you will be a master! You see, you dare to paint works that "blaspheme Christ". There should be no problem with drawing interesting science fiction styles?"

Tang Ning thought more and more seriously, saying: "Paleontologists can't help but see fossils of animal bones, but ordinary people are not interested in such things. The 'scientific school' I want to create is to lead the trend and increase the interests of the people. Hehe, it is probably quite interesting to create some huge dinosaur oil paintings. I am willing to provide interested painters with such job opportunities, and they can complete them well, and also have big prizes. It's a big prize, not a small prize. We can set up a review committee composed of scientists and painters to review the final completed paintings. When the works accumulate to a certain level, we can hold a science painting exhibition, and art leads science. I like this very much."

The rich man really came to spend money again and advocated his "scientific school".

Mile replied a little embarrassedly: "I have to think about this." Although he longed for the favor of the rich, he did not dare to rashly join the "Scientific Painting School". This may be criticized by the entire art world.

The Grand Duke believed that her husband was defiling art, but in public she did not dare or would not refute her husband's face. This is the virtue of a good wife. Even if she had any objections, she had to go home and close the door.

The East India Company owes a lot of debts to the British government. Now the rich family does not have much surplus food. It is not a boon to provide only 50,000 pounds to try to fund the Scientific Painting School.
