To be honest, if a potato collective poisoning incident occurs in a remote mountain village, even if one or two people die without causing a spreading effect, it will not attract the attention of the court.

But this incident happened in Yingtian Prefecture, at the feet of the emperor, under the noses of the ministers, and cannot be ignored!

Beijing is such a magical place, even a small matter that is not worth mentioning in other places can become the focus of power attention.

A big fire broke out in the capital city, and it would have been over if it had been extinguished elsewhere, but in the capital city, it could have become a spark for power struggles.

A murder case occurred in the capital city, while in other places it is just a murder case. Solving the case and catching the murderer is enough, but in the capital city, it may brew into a huge conspiracy involving numerous officials.

Such a massive collective poisoning incident, falling on the court, is like a thunderbolt, with unimaginable consequences.

Moreover, this also involves the Seventh Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, and the paralysis of one-third of the troops guarding the capital. In a moment, countless potatoes were thrown into the rotten ditch.

The people avoid them like tigers, and the officials punish them like treacherous officials!

Potatoes, an innocent agricultural product, have become rats crossing the street in this context, and everyone is calling out to fight them.

And this situation was something that Zhu Zhan never dreamed of!

In fact, he had no idea about such a big event happening in the capital now. The long distance and inconvenient communication caused serious delays in the transmission of messages.

Da Lingfei immediately dispatched a young palace maid to deliver a message to the Wu family mansion of the Marquis of Jiangyin.

The young master of the Wu family was frightened and broke into a cold sweat. Realizing the seriousness of the problem, he immediately dispatched a servant to rush to Qingzhou to deliver the message.

Under heavy pressure, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the disposal of all potatoes and banned the planting of potatoes nationwide!

Zhu Yuanzhang was also afraid afterwards, fortunately this did not happen during the war period.

If one leads a large army to attack cities and territories, and suddenly one-third of the troops become paralyzed, what a terrifying situation it would be!

From the emperor, to the courtiers, to the common people, all showed resistance towards the potatoes sent by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi.

On the other hand, the first servant sent by the Wu family only transmitted the first message back to Qingzhou not long ago.

Jiangyin Marquis, I have been very happy these past few days.

Although the money for building the Qi Wang Mansion is no longer a concern, the 200000 taels of silver promised by His Majesty has never been received.

The old man gradually realized that this was because he had come from the court to Qingzhou, and he no longer had much influence in the court.

And the Seventh Prince was also kicked to Qingzhou, losing his presence even more.

There must be no one speaking up for the Seventh Prince in the court now, which has caused the 200000 silver taels to be repeatedly delayed by the Ministry of Revenue.

Even if the emperor personally agrees, the Ministry of Revenue can still delay for a day.

The Marquis of Jiangyin also understands that if the Crown Prince Zhu Biao or the Fourth Prince Zhu Di wanted to use this 200000 taels of silver to get married or do other things, they would never have delayed for such a long time and had already approved it.

But who is the Seventh Prince? He is the least valued among many princes, and his governance philosophy seriously contradicts all the ministers.

What importance should be placed on merchants and what is meant by the lifting of maritime restrictions? Such absurd statements, which seriously violate national policies, actually come from the mouth of a prince. Does this prince still have a future?

Moreover, the imperial court is facing a shortage of funds in the national treasury, and when it comes to spending money, 200000 taels of silver is not a small amount, so naturally it can be postponed if possible.

However, potatoes have made great contributions this time.

Before the summer tax collection, Qi Di sent potatoes to Yingtian Prefecture, which surprised the court greatly.

The matter of building the Qi Wang Mansion is naturally settled.

He is almost 100% certain this time that the 200000 taels of silver will be delivered to Qingzhou in no time.

At that time, I will be completely wealthy, and the materials used to build the Qi Wang Mansion will also be upgraded accordingly. The pillars will be made of golden nanmu wood, and a large rockery will be built inside the Qi Wang Mansion to bring live water into the mansion. There will be mountains and water, making the Qi Wang Mansion a scenic spot with three steps, leisurely and leisurely, and a feng shui treasure land.

Jiangyin Marquis was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

He put on his clothes, pushed open the door, and the moonlight shone on him.

At this moment, it was already late at night, and he was surprisingly not tired at all, but rather full of energy.

Directly walking towards Zhu Cha's bedroom, the maid guarding outside was dozing off.

The Marquis of Jiangyin approached without noticing.

The Marquis of Jiangyin directly asked, "Has His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi not slept yet

The maid suddenly woke up and looked at the Marquis of Jiangyin with some surprise, muttering to herself, 'What time is it? I must have fallen asleep.'.

The maid turned her head to look at the dark bedroom and hurriedly said, "I'll report to the Marquis of Jiangyin that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi has already fallen asleep

Jiangyin Hou laughed heartily and said, "I knew he wasn't sleeping
