The Sun Never Sets In Spain

The two walked into the exhibition hall, and the lively hall instantly became silent.

Alfonso slapped his forehead, thinking that next time he would go out with a mask.

Wait, mask...mask...

It seems that there is really no mask these days, and the smart Alfonso feels that he has found another business opportunity.

In fact, there is no business opportunity. It is different from watches and lottery products that require large companies to operate or have a branded nature.

Masks are just tied with gauze. They have no technical content and product competitiveness. If you forcefully apply for a patent, there will be countless small workshops secretly producing them.

Since there is no financial interest, Alfonso does not plan to apply for a patent. He will tell Henry about the masks and let them report to the Red Cross for a wave of propaganda.

Although it is not a particularly significant discovery, it is a gain after all, and Alfonso's mood is obviously higher.

Nasi was keenly aware of this change, and he smiled: "Why, I'm still looking forward to seeing my own portrait. I'll tell you I've seen it before. It's not as beautiful as a real person, but it's pretty good-looking. "

"Yeah." Alfonso didn't explain, and took the initiative to take Si's hand and walked around.

"The Prince in the Forest" is not difficult to find, and it is quite high in the art exhibition.

There was a large circle of people around, intoxicated by the beauty of the forest prince, but when they saw them coming, the crowd took the initiative to spread out. .

Taking four was not polite, leading Alfonso directly to the innermost position.

"I don't see it, the painting is okay, I really want to buy it, but Father Enrique said that this is the greatest wealth of his life, and no one will sell it." Pointing to the painting in the glass cabinet.

The picture shows a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes on horseback raising his sword to face a group of fierce cavalry. The battle has obviously been going on for a while, and there are many broken limbs and arms scattered on the ground. The contrast between heaven and hell, life and death is more prominent. The beauty of the teenager.

"How do you look at this restricted-level scene with gusto, and how about my teammates? Has it been omitted from the art?" Alfonso has too many grooves in his heart and don't know where to start.

Although the artistic processing is too obvious, considering that the priest himself did not see the battle with his own eyes, Alfonso expressed his understanding.

Aside from this point, the priest's painting skills are indeed quite good, with the realism of the camera, and the unique beauty of painting that is beyond the mundane.

"I really miss it..." Alfonso could only say that he was very handsome when he was fighting, but now he looks more neutral.

He is a young person, and a stranger will really not know if he is a boy or a girl when he sees it for a while.

The changes have been so great in a few months. Fortunately, the five senses have not changed much, and everyone around them just said that they have been long-opened.

Leaving "Prince in the Forest", the two continued to look at other paintings. Although the goal has been achieved, they have come after all.

Walking around, the two didn't stop for too long in front of a painting. They belonged to fools with no sense of art.

…

"Huh," Alfonso stopped again in front of a painting. This painting was placed in an inconspicuous corner, and the glass cabinet was not even installed. The painter was also mediocre and did not attract attention at all.

"What's the matter?" Nasi asked, and he followed Alfonso's gaze. "A group of people are in a meeting. The drawing is a bit bad."

He took a closer look at the small print below the painting: "The Workers of Saint Martin in 1864", anonymous

He smiled and said, "Isn't this the First International? It was mostly painted by some worker on the scene. What's wrong? Now Paris promotes this kind of thing."

Alfonso looked solemnly: "Eugène, what do you think of the labor movement?"

When Nasi saw Alfonso's face serious, he couldn't help but correct his attitude. He rarely saw such Alfonso.

After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Everyone wants to pursue their own rights. I think this is correct.

There are more and more workers in the four countries, Britain, France, Germany, and Italy. They are a class that cannot be ignored. It is understandable that a class requires treatment that matches its own labor. "

After listening in silence, Alfonso didn't make any expressions, making him panicked, "Did I say something wrong?"

"No, you said it well."

Alfonso had to thank this painting for reminding him that he should pay attention to this trend in China in the future.

The labor movement brought democracy, equality and de-religion, these are all good things, but the corresponding class rise and fall have become very sharp, and whether it is to promote class or prevent class decline, it encourages fewer births and fewer children.

This is an important reason why the population growth of France has been much slower than that of Germany in the past few decades.

What's more interesting is that people usually think that the fertility rate of the urban population is lower, but in fact, in France, which is dominated by the agricultural economy, the fertility rate of the rural population is lower because they are unwilling to dilute their land because of having more children. These are brought about by the advanced ideas of France surpassing other European countries.

…

Back home, lying in bed, Alfonso could not forget for a long time.

Before, he wanted to follow the example of advanced countries such as Britain and the United States to enhance people's wisdom and de-religion, but now thinking of the fate of France, he thinks it is necessary to do something about religion, and it is better for the system to be reactionary.

Spain has to find another way to overtake a corner.

It just so happens that the once great pope state now has only Rome, and it will be swallowed by Italy in the not-too-distant Franco-Prussian War, leaving only the Vatican.

At this moment, the pope must be happy to strike a deal with his only faithful, Spain.

He decided that he would neither go to Vienna nor London, but to Rome!
