Yinzhen didn't force anything, after Charlie left, Yinzhen sent someone to send the clam back, and then he accompanied Yunrong to another street, this road looks much more prosperous, and people in brocade clothes can be seen on the street from time to time.

The shouting and selling sound in each of them makes people feel lively when they listen to it.

After Yun Rong came here, she felt that she couldn't walk on her feet, Yun Rong even forgot her destination, there are many shops here that sell some jewelry made of shells and pearls, although Yun Rong is not short of these, but after all, the ones she has are in accordance with the specifications, although exquisite, but in her opinion, some may be "craftsman".

It's not good-looking, or I think it's a little "rigid".

When I saw the jewelry here, I thought it was really beautiful!

And not only jewelry, there is a shop that is very creative, and has made a lot of utensils decorated with shells, such as dressers, wardrobes and other things, in addition to these large pieces, there are many small and delicate things made of shells, which are also very cute.

Yun Rong's girl's heart has not been stimulated in modern times, but now that she has been in the Qing Dynasty for one or two decades, she has given birth to two children, and this girl's heart is here.

Finally, before eating, Yinzhen asked Yun Rong's things to be transported back to the residence several times.

Then I found a good local restaurant and had a meal, which was not as exquisite as the imperial kitchen, but it was worth the price given, Yinzhen and Yunrong both felt that it was okay.

After going back, Yinzhen thought of the foreigners he met during the day, so he asked people to check what the situation was in Guangzhou's shipping now, which was also the second purpose of his visit this time.

Here Yinzhen sent someone to inquire, on the other side, where is Charlie, he returned to his fixed residence in Guangzhou, the more angry he was, the businessman is very profitable, he has seen someone open such a big mussel before, and there are several purple beads of very good quality in it, not to mention the sale of these back to China, it is to sell it to the local jewelry shop in the Qing Dynasty, and the difference in price can also make a lot of money.

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that his expression was a little pitiful, and his eyes were a little hollow, and his companion Karl, who lived with him, asked, "Charlie, what's wrong with you?" ”

Charlie came back to his senses and said, "I went out today and met a person who grabbed something from me, and I was a little angry. ”

Carl was a little surprised, Charlie is not a good businessman, but he is more generous, and he still has something that he can't grab?

"Charlie, don't be kidding, okay? Someone won't sell you anything? ”

Charlie didn't think Carl's words were good, but he didn't care what he meant.

"I wanted to exchange a telescope for three mussels, but the other group used five hundred taels of silver, and then they didn't ask my opinion before they reached a deal, and besides, this business was obviously opened by me first, which was really annoying, and the person who bought the thing in the end even wanted to negotiate a deal with me, of course I had to refuse."

Karl thought it was funny, but, "What kind of deal?" ”

Charlie looked depressed: "I don't want to deal with that kind of person, naturally I won't ask him, I don't want to see that person, it feels too bad." ”

Karl: "Okay, but you still have to adjust your mood, there will be a party in two days, then we can bring back a lot of tea, silk and porcelain, it will be countless gold wealth, I have decided, if this time can be successful, I will never go to sea again, the land of the Qing Dynasty is really as Marco Polo said, there is gold everywhere, if it wasn't for the first time I didn't prepare too many things, I won't come the second time." ”

Charlie listened to Carl's words and was silent, to be honest, his thoughts are different from Carl's, I also like gold, but he also likes the land of the Qing Dynasty.

In the same period, in fact, except for some utensils that look more advanced, some other aspects are not beautiful in today's Qing Dynasty, for example, the streets of the West are always filled with the smell of horse manure, unless it is ugly, but no one will ever clean it up......

Of course, the most attractive thing for Charlie is that he heard that the Qing Dynasty has a vast land and many styles of buildings, and his father is a person engaged in royal architecture, and he has been interested in this aspect since he was a child. The first grab

He likes the building very much, so he wants to see more buildings, he thinks this building is so wonderful, that's why he wants to replace those mussels, he wants to exchange them for some silver, he wants to stay, he is not familiar with life, he just wants to earn more silver.

"Charlie, why don't you speak?" Karl saw that Charlie was distracted again, so he asked.

Charlie: "Carl, I think I'm going to stay?" ”

Karl was puzzled: "Stay?" ”

Charlie was very firm: "Yes, I want to stay, I want to see the buildings of the Qing Dynasty." ”

Carl thought Charlie was crazy, and he couldn't understand his decision to stay: "Why did you want to stay? Although the Qing Dynasty is prosperous, but this is not your home, you must know, you are not familiar with it here, there is a saying in the Qing Dynasty that what is not my race and its heart must be different, I think, you are better to stay back and rely on the wealth you bring back, to be a rich man, when the time will be countless beauties to you into your arms, that kind of day is simply heaven. ”

Charlie didn't think there was anything good about not being embraced, and in his eyes, beauty didn't look as wonderful as architecture.

Charlie: "Thank you for the suggestion, but I still think it's a very attractive place, and I want to stay, like Marco Polo, and if one day I see all the buildings, maybe I'll go back, like Marco Polo, and write down the buildings I see and bring them back." ”

In essence, Charlie is a bit like an artist, although life makes people understand the suffering of the world, but he has not given up his preferences, he still insists on his "architectural dream".

Carl looked incredulous: "I think you're really crazy." ”

Then Karl said: "Don't think so much about it yet, let's prepare for the party in a few days!" Even if you want to stay, you have to earn enough money, otherwise, it will be difficult for you to survive. ”

Charlie also knew that Carl was right.

"I see, thank you for informing me."

Yinzhen asked people to check, only to know that in the past few years, there will be merchant ships coming to the shore after a while, and the boats are pulling boats of imported goods.

Nowadays, there are several foreign shops in Guangzhou, which are very favored by the local magnates, and they will visit from time to time.

At the same time, Yinzhen also let people find out that there are a lot of slaves on these merchant ships, and they don't know where they are, they are very obedient, and they are used to work as coolies on merchant ships, and the owners of merchant ships only ensure that these slaves do not starve to death.

Originally, Yinzhen was not interested in these slaves, but Yunrong was also there when Yinzhen listened to this news, and she also knew about it, Yunrong felt that it was wrong, listening to the description of the news, those slaves were not black, and I also heard that there were more slaves on a merchant ship than the owner of the ship, and it was not impossible for the slaves to resist.

After all, the owner of the ship was indeed a little harsh on the slaves, but he didn't do anything at all, why is that?

Yun Rong asked a little, no wonder she had such questions, she had heard about the need for "slave bullies" at sea before.

So Yun Rong asked the question, and Yin Zhen also had doubts and wanted to investigate this matter.

Yinzhen's original purpose was to see what the shipping situation in Guangzhou was now, and he really could, he also wanted to send people to sea, after all, such a business, if the official intervened, the power would naturally not be small, and the treasury would no longer worry about the use of silver, and he would also be able to speed up the realization of many policies.

So Yinzhen sent someone to investigate the reason for this matter, but before the results came out, Yinzhen needed Yunrong to do something.
