Charlie is essentially an artist. Although life teaches him about human suffering, he does not give up his hobbies because of this, and he still insists on his "architectural dream".
Carl looked at him incredulously: "I think you've really gone mad."
Then Carl said, "Don't think about it too much for now. Let's prepare for the party in a few days! Even if you want to stay, you need to earn enough money, otherwise, you'll have a hard time surviving."
Charlie knew that Carl was right.
"I understand, thank you for letting me know."
Yinzhen sent people to investigate and found out that in recent years, merchant ships would come to dock here every now and then, carrying loads of imported goods.
Nowadays, there are several shops selling imported goods in Guangzhou, which are very popular with the local elites, who often visit them from time to time.

Yinzhen's original purpose was to see what the current situation of maritime transport in Guangzhou was like. Indeed, it was feasible, and he also wanted to send people to sea. After all, if the government intervened in such a business, the power would naturally be considerable. At that time, the national treasury would no longer have to worry about the use of silver, and he would be able to accelerate the implementation of many policies.
