The reason for the letter from Chongqing Prefecture is not without origin. Luzhou is an important portal for the link between Chongqing Prefecture and the Song Dynasty in the southeast. Every move of Luzhou will have an impact on Chongqing Prefecture, which is far away in the northwest border.

It turned out that when Liu Zheng was the only one, the impact was not great, but as Liu Zheng began to supply Han Zhenhan with various supplies, the direct result was that Chongqing rice was expensive.

The price of grain in the entire Chongqing Prefecture has increased. Not only grain, but if it is just grain, Lu Wende, as a local official, may not have sent a letter to ask Liu Zheng. I don’t know how much fertile land there is in Chongqing, so the price of rice increases in the Lu family is still the one who benefits from it. At least the Lu family will make a lot of money. The people are just suffering.

However, the materials for some of the military support are different. Although the money is supplied to Chongqing Prefecture by the Zhao Song court, in fact, even if Liu Zhong handed over the things sent by the court to Lu Wende in full, it would not be enough for Lu Wende to support his private soldiers.

Especially the price of iron soared. Why did it soar? The two main things are iron smelting, namely iron ore, charcoal, or natural coal. Natural coal is still very difficult to mine in this era. Therefore, burning charcoal is still relatively common.

However, because Han Zhenhan's extensive smelting and casting in Luzhou, the price of charcoal in the entire area of ​​Luzhou increased, and a place caused all charcoal to rise in the entire jurisdiction of Chongqing Road.

Although the battle to pay the entire Dali Restoration Army was huge, if Liu Zhen did not pay the money when providing the Dali Restoration Army, his wealth would have increased. Those who know the matter may not believe it, and only three people in this world would believe it.

The first person is Han Zhenhan. If Han Zhenhan doesn't understand the accounts, it will be impossible for him to fool Liu Zhenhan into joining the matter. The second person who knew about this was not Liu Zhen, but Liu Zhen's general accountant, which is Liu Zhen's official family. The third person is Liu Zhen himself, and this matter stopped at Liu Zhen. No third person knew about this matter.

Of course, this increase was not the return of the Dali Restoration Army to Liu Zheng. But the Luzhou banknotes made by Han Zhenhan for Liu Zheng long before departure. Luzhou Baochao, I believe that no one of the brothers of the New Column would not know what the banknotes were. But what do you define him? Isn’t that just a piece of paper?

Yes, the cost of printing paper is of course easier and cheaper than using precious metals or copper ore. However, if you want to get the money done instead of making a flash in Chengdu, the management and operation in the middle will be much more difficult.

If Liu Zheng handed over the work of printing and issuing Luzhou Baochao to Liu Zheng, Luzhou Baochao may not have the ability to affect Lu Wende now. That is, if there is a problem with Luzhou Baochao during circulation, the most serious thing may be that Liu Zheng will directly lose the hearts of the people of the entire Luzhou and its status in the minds of the people.

So what did Lu Wende do when he wrote a letter? How did he know? Liu Zheng was sending someone to fight Dali. Liu Zheng wrote very detailedly to Han Zhenhan in the letter. The letter also included some investigations made by Liu Zheng, as well as some of his own judgments.

It is very simple to learn how Lu Wende learned that Liu Zhen was fighting Dali. Xuzhou is not Liu Zhen's territory. Even if Liu Zhen temporarily bribed the governor of Xuzhou. However, Xuzhou is not only an official. And in the entire Chongqing Road area, who is not controlled by Lu Wende? How many people hope to get the support of Lu Wende?

Therefore, all kinds of materials transferred from Luzhou and those ships entering the Jinsha River through the Mahu River will not attract people's attention. Those ships that can go upstream without sails will not be shocked as long as the people on the river see that no one will be surprised.

Adding up several conditions, coupled with the recent war in the Dongchuan Prefecture of Dali State, how could Lu Wende not guess what Liu Zheng was doing? In addition, Lu Wende also sent some people to disrupt the Luzhou Baochao market, just like the situation of Chongqing Baochao at the time.

The methods used are also very similar, nothing more than imitation and run. However, Han Zhenhan predicted and imitated in advance. It is almost impossible to imitate the printing. Unless you find the best painter to draw it one by one, the time and manpower consumed far exceed the value of imitating a Luzhou Baochao.

However, some counterfeit money appeared. However, the people who were used to using Luzhou Baochao knew that the counterfeit money was problematic when they were held in their hands. So after several arrests of the people and sent officials, the local Luzhou pounced almost caught the behind-the-scenes envoy. Unfortunately, people escaped in the end.

The consequence of letting the mastermind behind the scenes escape was a run in Luzhou City. Han Zhenhan had long thought of the possibility of a run, but Liu Zheng had one thing that was particularly good in Luzhou, which was the hearts of the people.

Han Zhenhan took advantage of this and told Liu Zheng early that he must be cautious after such a thing happened, and told Liu Zheng the corresponding methods. In addition, Dadi Money House is the industry of the Han Zhenhan Brotherhood, so the servants in the money house are also members of the Brotherhood.

What benefits can the brotherhood infiltrate into Luzhou City? Some of them appeared during the run.

The common people always follow blindly, or anyone will sometimes have curiosity and blind obedience, which is the so-called herd effect. After more than a dozen men and women gathered together surrounded the Dadi Money House located in the east of the city, they didn't say that they wanted to do anything but blocked the door.

The people passing by them, those who were interested in watching the fun, were stopped and told that there was no money in the Dadi Money House and that the people could not exchange Luzhou Baochao for money. The boss of the Dadi Money House had already donated money and ran away.

What does good things mean that bad things are not going out? Before the servants and accountants in the doorman understood what was going on, the entire Dadi Money House was already surrounded by people.

And how many Luzhou Baochao can ordinary people exchange it for exchange? The ones who really hold the Luzhou Baochao in their hands are actually those past merchants, from small vendors to large merchants. Smaller ones may have Luzhou Baochao worth dozens or hundreds of yuan in their hands, and those large ones are 100,000 million yuan in their hands.
