Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 329 Culture and Art

"I don't care, I just wish I could stay away from Langton's clumsy political games." Princess Anne looked indifferent and hugged Perfectcott before continuing: "I can treat it as a holiday if I can rest here for a few days. But some people are already waiting impatiently.”

Regarding what Princess Anne said, Purficott just raised the corner of his mouth and said disdainfully: "Really? Then let them worry. Apart from you, Auntie Anne, is there anyone else in the empire who deserves my special attention?"

Although the words are a bit crazy, they are true.

For today's Victoria Empire, even Princess Anne must give face to Perfectcott.

Otherwise, she would not have made a special trip from Longton to Chernobog and waited for several days.

Although she said she was "right to have a holiday", in fact, being able to make an imperial princess wait for several days was a signal and attitude in itself.

So for Purficott, it is her prerogative to make others wait.

As for whether there are people in this empire who can make her wait, of course there are, but unfortunately these people who are waiting for her are not among them.

"Although there is no one in particular who deserves your attention, you should still pay attention to one thing. I know you don't care about your reputation and reputation, but don't offend everyone, otherwise it will be very troublesome." Princess Anne He helped Purficott tidy up her clothes and gave her serious instructions.

As for the various materials and labor required to build the Lord's Mansion, they were squeezed out from the three countries of the old world.

Then the two left the airship berth and walked towards the main building complex of the Lord's Mansion.

By the way, Purficott's Lord's Mansion did not require her to pay for it. This was all public accounts kept by the empire center and included in the city's construction costs.

"The decoration here is very luxurious." Purficott, who entered his lord's mansion for the first time, looked around with a little curiosity on his face.

Yes, the Lord's Mansion is not a house or other separate building, but a complex of buildings that are almost like a manor and a palace.

Although Purficott didn't care much about it, he still nodded to show that he understood.

Of course, ordinary earls don't have a lord's mansion as big as hers. This is a privilege that only a northern lord can have.

In a sense, this can be regarded as the "blood and sweat of the working people."

It is normal for an earl to own a manor. Brandlis Manor is actually of the same nature, but its scale is much smaller than the current Lord's Mansion in Perfectcourt.

"It was decorated according to the standards of the royal palace. It was designed by an architect from France. It is the most popular decoration style at the moment." Princess Anne finally showed curiosity when she looked at Purficott, and her face suddenly changed. She also showed a loving smile, and this look on Purficott's face made her finally feel like she was still a child.

Purficott was indeed very satisfied with the decoration style designed by these architects from France, and she noticed that all the windows were thick double-glazed, which was as good as possible in this era in terms of cold protection and warmth. the best results.

And not only that, all windows, walls and corners of buildings have well-hidden air outlets. "The brass heat sink has special ingredients added to increase the thermal conductivity, and it is integrated with the surrounding architectural decoration. It can be seen that the designer's level is very high." Perficott had a good evaluation of the architectural designer. , she even had the mood to make a joke: "Where is this person? If he is still in Frans, just bring him over. I can give him the status of my courtier and be my exclusive designer." "

Although Purficott's words were a joke, they were still half-truths. After all, she did feel that the designer was of good quality and the artistic style was acceptable to her.

Of course, such a person would not be of much help to her research, but Purficott did not mind giving her works to the other person to beautify and enhance the artistry.

Sounds outrageous? Do we still need to pay attention to art in the end? The answer is of course no.

To survive in the apocalypse, the first requirement should be practicality, and artistic processing and other things should be placed after meeting the necessary conditions for survival.

But Purficott actually had another consideration in doing this, which was to preserve culture and art.

It is true that the end is coming, it is true that survival is the first priority, and it is her own principle to keep everything practical, but this does not mean that human beings should abandon culture and art.

We must know that with the advent of the industrial revolution, affluent life gave the soil for the development of culture, art and science and technology.

If there had not been this apocalypse, mankind would have ushered in a golden age of development during the Industrial Revolution, with development faster in just one hundred years than in the past thousand years.

The culture and art industries will produce many bright treasures.

At this time, although survival must be the first priority, and industries such as art and culture will naturally be abandoned, this does not mean to give up completely.

It would not be a big problem for a nobleman like Purficott to raise a small group of cultural people or artists.

These people may not be engaged in production, are not good at labor, and are the most useless population in the apocalypse. But from another perspective, these people are also part of the precious wealth of human society. They have inherited the most valuable inheritance in human civilization and passed it on to future generations. part.

So although Purficott was just a temporary idea, she was not completely joking. She planned to raise some people in the literary and artistic circles in Chernobog to avoid the end of the world in the future when mankind did not pass down even a single artistic treasure. It's such a pity.

Princess Anne didn't pay much attention when she heard what Purficott said. She just nodded and said: "It's a small matter. The architectural designer is in your Chernobog. Just ask someone to arrange it later. If you If necessary, I can get you more people like this, who are all real people."

"Okay, I plan to take in a group of such talents. Although they will not create much value in the apocalypse, and the art cannot be eaten, they are ultimately the shining crystallization of human civilization. We still want our descendants to know what we once had. Brilliant culture." Purficott also nodded, and then explained her intention to Princess Anne.

While the two were talking, Purficott suddenly noticed that the wallpaper on the wall was green, which made her frown, as if she remembered something.

She frowned and came to the wall, stretched out her hand to clasp the wallpaper on the wall, and plucked off a small piece in front of everyone's puzzled eyes. Then her expression changed: "Tear off all the wallpapers of this color! "
