Chapter 550 No grandeur, no prestige


    After observing the specific situation, Andre left thergest theater in London, and left here by car alone.


    As an important retainer of the royal family, Andre stayed in London during the time when the king went to Windsor, handling the affairs of newspapers and theaters, and handling the business of the royal family in London by the way.


    Even though he has entered the upper ss, Andre is still used to riding in a rented carriage instead of riding in his own private carriage.


    Someone asked him, why not buy a carriage and hire a groom?


    Andre always smiled and said nothing. The monthly cost of raising horses and hired grooms was even better than taking a taxi.


    More importantly,pared with other nobles and gentry, he does not have a family crest or surname to show off. Could it be that the carriage is whiteboard? Isn''t that just making peopleugh?


    Therefore, what he hopes is that he can get the position of minister, so that he can be rewarded with fiefs and titles by the king, so that he can have his own surname.


    Of course, if you want to achieve this goal, having ability is not enough, it just makes Andre have the qualifications topete.


    For example, Adler, who controls the Bank of Ennd, is the most powerfulpetitor.


    Although he is a Jew, he is a Jew who has betrayed his religious beliefs. He has been controlling the Bank of Ennd for His Majesty the King. The ie he gives to the royal family every year is alreadyparable to that ofnd, ounting for nearly one-third of the total ie of the royal family. , extremely exaggerated.


    So, presenting a drama to His Majesty the King on his birthday is just one of his means, and his real gift is still behind.


    By car to thergest hotel in London, Andre went straight in, and found a bald old man among the bustling crowd in the lobby.


    He was wearing an Italian-style cloak, with dark skin, thick and long arms, and a Mediterranean-style hairstyle, which made him stand out from the crowd.


    He was looking around, as if observing thergest hotel in London.


    "Tsk tsk! What a waste. Such a good stone has been built like this. It''s an insult to architecture." Andre walked in and heard the old man whispering.


    "Wee, respect Mr. Andrea Padio!" Andre said softly in Latin to the annoying old man in front of him with a respectful and polite attitude.


    "Oh! I see!" The old man called Padio, he nodded casually to show that he knew, and then asked softly:


    "My dear lord, I am here because you said that there is a world-renowned building that needs me to design, not because of your reward of one thousand pounds!"


    The old man Padio''s attitude was rather bad, but Andre was not upset at all, but was even more excited in his heart.


    The old man in front of him is one of the most famous architects in Italy, and he is well known in Italy.


    He has been using the principles of ssical architecture to design a series of country vis and city pces for the nobles of Vicenza. One of the most famous buildings is the Vi Capra, also known as the Dome Cathedral. temte.


    Throughout Europe, he himself is also a well-known big shot.


    In particr, Padio has always been fascinated by Roman and ancient Greek architecture, so he is also famous for the architectural design of nobles and royal courts.


    "Mr. Padio, please don''t be impatient. The reason I invited you from Italy this time is that what I promised will definitely be fulfilled. Please wait a moment!"


    Andre didn''t care at all, but exined softly with a smile.


    "I came here today to take you to see the ce. You go to research in detail, and then draw a few styles. Our Majesty the King, you need to refer to it!"


    "You, you mean, I came this time to build the pce for His Majesty Edward?" Padio stretched out his fingers, his sparse head gradually covered with fine sweat, and his brown eyes shone brightly.


    He couldn''t believe that His Majesty the King of Ennd would summon him to build the pce, so far away, the scale of the pce would definitely not be small, and he would definitely show his talents.


    "In this case, even if I pass away in the future, if this pce exists, my name will still be passed down among the architects, and it will be difficult to drift away for a long time! And this, I think, is thest masterpiece of my life!"


    Subsequently, Andre took the famous architect to several spacious locations outside London, allowing the master to fully disy his talents.


    And Andre, he ran to Windsor Castle a hundred miles away to meet His Majesty the King.


    "You mean, you want me to build a new pce?"


    Edward stared at Andre with his blue eyes in disbelief, as if he couldn''t believe his thoughts.


    "My Andre, how could you have such an idea? It was so unexpected!"


    Asked his monarch to build a pce. This was the first time Edward had encountered it since he became king. He was very surprised.


    "My Andre, although the royal family''s finances are gradually getting better, they are not big enough to build the pce wantonly!"


    Edward shook his head and sighed as he looked at this little friend who had been by his side since he was a child and grew up step by step.


    "Your Majesty, I think that rebuilding a pce is not just a matter for the royal family, but concerns the entire United Kingdom!"


    Seeing the slight joy in the eyes of His Majesty the King, Andre knew that he had made the right bet. His Majesty the King was not satisfied with the current pce.


    So instead of ttering His Majesty Edward as always, he continued to insist on his views.


    "You are now Lord of Ennd, Scond, Irnd, Wales, and France, and Guardian of the Faith throughout the British Isles.


    The current small and simple pce cannot match your due status, nor can it demonstrate the prestige of the royal family! "


    Andre secretly nced at His Majesty''s calm face, then continued to lower his head, bend over, and said loudly.


    "Is this what you mean?" Edward narrowed his eyes and asked.


    "Of course, this is all my own idea!" Although he didn''t know what the king meant, Andre still respectfully agreed.


    "Very well, your idea is very good!" Edward was very satisfied with this kind of courtier who cared about the king, and said all these words from the bottom of his heart.


    Look at those royal pces in London. They are either other houses of nobles, or they have been built for hundreds of years. They are very ufortable to live in.


    Besides, his current status surpasses the previous kings of Ennd, and he can be called the most powerful and powerful king. Of course, he must have a matching pce to im the supremacy of the kingship.


    At this time, Edward suddenly remembered a sentence that Xiao He said to Liu Bang after he built the Changle Pce in history: There is no majesty without magnificence
