Zhao Hanzhang brought money, saying she wanted to buy Shu brocade, so she felt embarrassed to go empty-handed.
The reason she wanted to meet this manager was to learn more about the situation in Shu.
Shu, a special place.
Because the Shu Road is treacherous, it is difficult for those inside to get out, and for those outside to get in; it is hard for information to get through.
Although Zhao Hanzhang had never had any conflict with Shu, when she was the Yu State Governor, she had instructed Ji Yuan to send scouts to Shu to gather information.
She even borrowed the influence of Zhu Chuan to plant personnel.
But over three years, whether the scouts went in alone or followed Zhu Chuan into Sichuan, few were able to send information out.
