A few days later, the court meeting was held as usual.

At the beginning of the meeting, the cardinal and court priest Peter Scanrell stood up and said to Richard who was sitting on the main seat: "Your Majesty Caesar, the site selection and design plan for the cathedral have been prepared. According to After my on-site inspection, I decided to build the cathedral next to the Hippolito Palace, which is the part of the noble area temporarily uninhabited. If you agree, we will requisition that piece of land and demolish the buildings on it."

"Since it is uninhabited, let's settle there." Richard had no opinion on where the cathedral was built, so he agreed directly, but he was a little interested in the design of the cathedral, and went on to say : "Bishop Peter, can you show me your design?"

"This is our honor, Your Majesty Caesar." Peter Scanrell said, and then picked up the scroll set aside, spread it out on the table, and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look." Several people looked at them. Immediately cast on the scroll, looking at the design sketch, Richard frowned, a little dissatisfied, how to put it, the design style of this church is the most common Romanesque style in the Middle Ages, the so-called Romanesque construction style It is similar to the thick stone walls and vaults of the ancient Roman period. In order to increase the lighting, the original cylindrical vault was changed to a cross vault, but it was still a semicircular administration.

And what Richard wants more is the Gothic churches often seen in later film and television dramas, such as the Gothic style of Notre Dame de Paris, which was destroyed by the fire, which is in line with the aesthetics of his modern soul. .

After pondering for a moment, Richard opened his mouth and asked: "Bishop Peter, I think that the design of the cathedral can be improved. For example, based on the semicircular vault, it can be improved into a pointed arch, ribbed vault or buttress arch. , Let the church towering and thin, straight into the sky, majestic and mysterious, it is best to be accompanied by glass windows, which can give people an illusion version of the sense of dreams." "This..." Bishop Peter was asked by Richard to correct it a bit. Fuzzy, he thought for a while, grabbed the key words in Richard's sentence, and asked: "Does the church you're talking about resemble the Abbey of Saint-Denis in the north of Paris?"

This time it was Richard's turn to be dumbfounded. How did he know what style of the Saint-Denis Abbey in the north of Paris was, but he couldn't give an answer at once. It’s no wonder he doesn’t know, because this kind of history is basically not known to anyone who is interested. In history, it is generally believed that the first true Gothic church was the Saint-Denis church in the outskirts of Paris. The four-pointed vouchers of this church cleverly solved the problem of the rib vault structure between the arches. It has a large area of ​​stained glass windows, which will be imitated by many churches in the future.

In the German region, the Cologne Cathedral, one of the earliest Gothic churches, was built in 1248. It was designed by the French who built the Cathedral of Amiens. It has the style of a Gothic church in the heyday of France. The church of Amiens is similar. Its central hall is 46 meters high, second only to the Cathedral of Beauvais in France. The twin towers on the west are 152 meters high, which is extremely spectacular.

After the science popularization ended, his eyes returned to the meeting site.

Although I don’t know what the architectural style of the Saint-Denis Monastery is, seeing that Bishop Peter can directly say it, he will probably not deviate a lot. Richard nodded and followed his words, saying: "Yes, that’s "That's it." Hearing that, Bishop Peter nodded, he retracted the sketch, and said: "I used to go to the Saint Denis Monastery with other bishops many years ago. It is different from that of Germany. I have paid attention to the architectural style of the region, and I still know something about it."

"Then you go back and improve it with the designer. I hope the sketches submitted for the second time will be better than this time."

"Yes, Your Majesty Caesar." Bishop Peter promised.

The next step is to discuss the plan of marriage between the soldiers of the First Army and the locals of Nord. After Bishop Peter retracted the sketch, the other three all came up with their own plans. The Diplomatic Director Ornus von Frank first stood up and explained his ideas.

"I think that directly letting the soldiers marry the locals may cause resistance from the soldiers. Not everyone is willing to marry a foreign woman. Therefore, we can arrange some people as an experiment first and see how this group of soldiers is. React, and then make a decision."

Ornus's method was quite satisfactory, neither good nor bad, so Richard motioned to the next person to speak.

"Your Majesty Caesar." Treasurer Wal-Koma stood up and said, "I think that the soldiers of the First Army can be married on the grounds of military merit. At the same time, there is an additional condition, as long as they can cooperate with them. The local indigenous people form a husband and wife, and they can get a piece of fertile land in the country for farming. As you know, the continuous war has created a lot of unowned wasteland in the kingdom. We can take this opportunity to solve this problem together."

Listening to Walkoma’s words, Richard's eyes lit up, nodded, and applauded: "Your plan is very good." But he immediately thought of one thing and said: "However, domestic marriageable women and The number of legionaries is still too small compared to that. UU reading www.uukānshu.com is afraid that the soldiers will conflict with their comrades in order to get a piece of their own land."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this issue at all." The spy chief Renato took the conversation and said: "We can allocate it according to merit. Soldiers who have performed well in the war can choose a larger piece by themselves after they marry with the locals. The land, from this, can also stimulate other soldiers to fight the enemy bravely for your majesty and obtain greater merits."

Richard thought for a while. Although this method is a bit contrary to the original intention, it is still more suitable for the current situation. He nodded and said, "That's it, Wal-Koma Finance Director, you go back and summarize this plan. Get up and give it to me for review."

"Yes, Your Majesty Caesar."

…

After the court meeting was over, Richard walked to the dormitory accompanied by guards. After everything was done, he was ready to accompany his exotic mistress with negative gains for a while.

However, just walking down the corridor, he saw Revnie walking in the garden. This beautiful exotic princess was excitedly holding a small yellow flower under her nose, squinting his eyes and sniffing the flower deeply. The fragrance, and not far from her, two maids were watching her quietly.

Watching this scene, Richard stopped, and the two early generals guard knights who followed him also stopped and looked at the girl standing among the flowers together.

"It's beautiful, isn't it." Richard said suddenly.

"..." The two guard knights were silent for a while, and then one of the knights replied: "Yes, Your Majesty Caesar."

"Unfortunately, she can only be mine." Richard said again.

"..."

For some reason, the two guard knights always feel that their lord has a kind of inexplicable cry?
