Yunrong looked at the box of pearls and was very happy. The feeling of opening an oyster was really exhilarating. As the empress, Yunrong had seen all kinds of fine pearls, but the moment she opened an oyster and saw a pearl was particularly fulfilling and exhilarating.

Yunrong suddenly understood why so many people like watching unboxing videos, and she could also understand why some people are so addicted to gambling on jade – it's just too addictive.

Yunrong: "I'm just that happy."

Yunrong was in a good mood and smiled as she rolled her eyes at Yinzhen, saying, "You don't understand."

You wouldn't understand the joy of opening a clam.

Yinzhen didn't understand what he was supposed to know.

However, Yinzhen didn't dwell on it. If he didn't understand, so be it. As long as his wife was happy, that was all that mattered.

However, Yinzhen remembered something. Although he didn't have a good impression of the British, maritime trade was still possible. The Qing Dynasty was still somewhat closed off. Although there was no sea ban, it only imported goods and didn't export them, and the majority of the profits went to foreigners.

Yinzhen thought that he still needed to find someone to organize a formal maritime transport operation.

However, the Qing Dynasty had little experience at sea, so it would be much better if someone could guide them. Therefore, Yinzhen set his sights on British merchants.

So Yinzhen thought of Charlie, the man he had once run into and whose business he had thwarted. Although Yinzhen hadn't interacted with him much, he felt in just a few words that Charlie wasn't a particularly shrewd person.

This person would also be suitable as a consultant.

He also finds overly shrewd businessmen difficult to control.

Since Yinzhen had thought this way, he decided to do it and secretly sent people to inquire about the British merchant who had been "intercepted".

At this time, Charlie was preparing to sell his goods and find a new place to live.

The place he and Carl lived in was rented, since they hadn't initially planned to stay.

Charlie's news was easy to find out, and soon news about him, and even about his friend Karl, was on Yinzhen's desk.

Yinzhen glanced at it, but he really didn't expect that "hijacked" and his friends didn't plan to go back, and that Charlie actually liked architecture and was said to be very talented.

Yinzhen thought that since he had talent and was interested in the architecture of the Qing Dynasty, he might as well make the best use of him. He would not mind creating another position in the Ministry of Works of the Qing Dynasty so that he could shine and feel the "welcome" of the Qing Dynasty.

After inquiring about Charlie, Yinzhen realized that the position of advisor had nothing to do with him, so he turned his attention to his friend Karl.
