This letter, sent by Zhang Liang to Jiangnan and then delivered to Donghai via a fast ship arranged by Yuan Caimei, detailed that grain merchants in Jiangnan had accused the Jinchuan Merchant Guild of strong-arm tactics and failing to pay for the grain they purchased. According to the laws of Dakang, any property involved in legal disputes could be seized by the authorities.
Consequently, almost all of Jin Feng's granaries in Xichuan were sealed. This meant that months of effort on Jin Feng's part had been rendered useless.
The primary purpose of this action was to prevent Jin Feng from distributing grain. By doing so, they could sell their stockpiled grain at inflated prices.
