Because Yang Chao forced the French to send a large number of technicians before the war, and these people were all stranded in China after the outbreak of the war, Yang Chao fortunately hired them directly to continue to build the railway, and finally in May it was used to build the railway in three and a half years, from Barnaul in Russia through Uriya Sutai, to Kulen and then all the way to Beijing.

This is the route that Olga will take this time, because if they don't take this road, they will have to take the road of Irkutsk, which is already the front line, and it is impossible to take that road for the sake of the safety of the royal family.

Of course, if they are willing to make airships, Yang Chao is also willing to pick them up, and the Russians themselves have airships, but there is always a concern about the safety of airships in the world, and it is impossible for royals to take such unsafe transportation.

It took more than half a month for the royal family train to arrive in Beijing and stay in the Summer Palace, the former royal garden.

The tsar did not come to travel, and soon began state activities, talks with Li Yuanhong, and proposed to raise the relationship between the two countries to the ambassadorial level, Li Yuanhong readily agreed, for the tsar's son to see a doctor, Li Yuanhong also specially summoned Wu Liande to Beijing, but the results of Wu Liande's diagnosis and treatment were not optimistic, saying that there is no special medicine for treating hemophilia at present.

The Tsar also said that Russia had agreed to launch a joint operation with the Chinese Defense Forces in the Far East, and that Russia was willing to mobilize two million troops to annihilate all Japanese forces in the Northeast in one fell swoop together with the Chinese Defense Forces, and that the Tsar was very confident and willing to defeat the Japanese. Li Yuanhong also said that the Chinese National Defense Forces have the ability and confidence to defend the power of the country.

Just when Tsar Nicholas was arguing with President Li Yuanhong, Archduchess Olga also visited Yang Chao.

Yang Mansion on the outskirts of Beijing, covering an area of more than 50 acres, is a Baylor's mansion, with all kinds of rockery gardens.

He took Origa on a tour of Chinese garden art, and then invited her to his study to discuss.

Yang Chao's study is also extremely gorgeously decorated, in the past, the emperor's treasures were placed here, but the number of treasures is far more than the emperor's reward, such as a large number of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, huge ivory products, and one-person-high blood coral.

Especially Yang Chao's desk, a one-foot square pen wash, is made of a whole piece of agate, the brush shelf is made of Hetian jade, and the pen holder is made of ivory, but the most amazing thing is a pair of paperweights, a dragon and a tiger.

Seeing this pair of paperweights, even the Archduke Origa, who had always been subtle, was not calm.

"That's a thousand carats?"

Women really still like diamonds.

Yang Chao proudly picked up a heinous Crouching Tiger-shaped diamond, which was bigger than his palm, and the tiger head alone was comparable to the one on the Queen of England's scepter.

"Carat? I don't know. We Chinese play diamonds, all about kilograms. Both pieces are one kilogram! ”

After speaking, he slapped the diamond on the edge of the rice paper with a snap, pressed the rice paper, and Yang Chao lifted the brush.

On the kilograms!

Origa's face was slightly red, this was too much, but she had to admit that she had never seen such a big diamond, and no matter how she looked at it, it was not inferior, and the transparency was completely superb.

Of course, this diamond was made by Yang Chao, he actually rarely made diamonds, because the efficiency was too low, and it had to be stacked with atoms, even if the alien spacecraft technology was very strong, but the speed was really unbearable, and it would take at least three months to create a big diamond like Wilhelm II.

And diamonds are not as expensive as imagined, because it is difficult for you to sell them, but there is a market for small carat diamonds, but Yang Chao is not cost-effective to do, and it is better to dig gold mines in the world.

These two big ones didn't take so much effort, because Yang Chao found that in fact, it was possible to make exactly the same large diamond without stacking atoms, that is, using small diamonds to pile up.

Yang Chao's two pieces of dragon and tiger diamond paperweights, this is how they came, Mengyin in Shandong and Wafangdian in Liaoning are the two places that produce the most diamonds in China in later generations, and these two places happen to be Yang Chao's territory, and Yang Chao's prospecting is very easy, so I found it casually.

But instead of mining the big diamonds, he dug up a large pile of diamond placers, which were glued together entirely with diamond powder. Glued with diamond powder, it saved him a lot of time, the two diamonds were not there before Origa came, and when she got on the train to Beijing, they were already on Yang Chao's desk.

"I've been practicing calligraphy lately, and since you're here, I'll give you a pair!"

When Yang Chao finished splashing ink, Oliga came back to her senses and saw Yang Chao holding a pair of words proudly dangling in front of her.

She saw the four patterns on it, and she didn't understand what they meant.

"What is this?"

Origa asked.

"The country is beautiful and fragrant!"

Yang Chao read from left to right.

"What do you mean?"

"It means to describe the beauty of the Grand Duke!"

Origa's face was slightly red, and she nodded slightly: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Later, Yang Chao shared his artwork with Origa, and discussed oriental art with her, in fact, he used his nouveau riche aesthetic to bombard the aesthetic taste of European aristocrats.

For example, the two dragon and tiger paperweights, the prototype is actually the bronze gilt crouching tiger and sleeping dragon that Yang Chao depicted from the antique market, but Yang Chao made them into diamonds.

The others are also prototypes, but without exception they are all bigger, giving people a strong visual impact.

This is all about showing off your wealth in front of the Tsarist family.

Young Olga was bombarded by this rich man, and his head was a little bigger.

But that's not all.

"I heard that there is an amber palace in Catherine's Palace in St. Petersburg."

Yang Chao said as he motioned for Oliga to follow him, and the two walked to the bedroom next to them.

"I don't have an amber palace here, but I do have an amber bed!"

Yang Chao walked to the middle of the bedroom, and with a light pull of his hand, the smooth huge silk curtain suddenly slid down, and a gorgeous, amber-covered ship appeared.

The skeleton was made of fine nanmu wood, and a layer of gold bed board with a thickness of one centimeter was laid on it, but the gold was not the main thing, but it was only used for inlaying amber.

The whole bed board is made of palm-sized amber, tiled one by one, the top is polished smooth and flat, and the inlay does not leak gaps, not only the bed board is made of amber, the head of the bed is also amber, and even the four legs of the bed are inlaid with amber, the amber bed exudes a faint fragrance of amber, and the whole room has a faint fragrance.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Olga has come from afar, and she is willing to give a small gift to show the friendship between the Chinese and Russian peoples."

Yang Chao said with a smile.

"Sent to me?"

Grand Duke Olga couldn't help but be stunned, although she didn't approve of this nouveau riche flaunting her wealth, she also admitted that she was shocked. (To be continued.) )
