Wang Baolin quickly understood their intention, which was simply to take the opportunity to raise the price of livestock.
This was no problem for him at all.
Before coming, Lu Daqi had told me to agree to any conditions first.

On June 15, the 22nd year of Chongzhen, Lu Daqi ordered that all border trade be stopped immediately.
