Being in Cao Ying's heart in Han, how did Hurd, the "prince taibao" of the Great Qing Dynasty, help Britain accumulate wealth?

Born in rural Ireland, Hurd was the General Excise Department of Customs of the Qing Dynasty and contributed to the modernization of the Qing Dynasty. He was a member of the Qing court, helping the Qing court increase its tariff revenue by 7 times, and was posthumously presented to the crown prince. He was the first diplomat to establish embassies in China, facilitating the Qing dynasty's first unofficial mission to Europe. He solved the diplomatic crisis between China and Britain due to the Margaret incident, and vigorously promoted the policy of high salaries and corruption maintenance at the customs, which enabled the Qing Dynasty to achieve a tariff leap, accounting for 1/5 of the total income of the Qing court. Although he contributed to the modernization of China, he was ultimately a British loyal to British interests.
