"Does Yong Sheng intend to go against all the merchants in the entire Tokyo city?!"

"Investigate! Who exactly is behind this Yong Sheng Trading Company! Invite them to the Political Affairs Hall for a chat!"

"Master Xu, I've investigated. This man named Zhao Chen was originally from Hebei Road, but later moved to Dongjing City. According to his ancestral home, his ancestor was Zhao Yun."

"Zhao Chen, what is his background? Which official in the court knows him?"

"Well, it seems we have some dealings with the Control Yuan!"

"The Control Yuan?" Xu Churen was confused. How did this matter concerning people's livelihood involve the Control Yuan?

Was Qin Hui connected with Yong Sheng Trading Company?

This makes things complicated, as it directly involves officials of Qin Hui's rank. If Xu Churen wants to take action against him, then it becomes a political matter.

No, this sweet potato was brought back by Shen Lang, so how could it involve Qin Hui?

Could it be that Shen Lang gave this item to Qin Hui, and then Qin Hui used it to make money?

The imperial court now prohibits officials from engaging in private business; everything is decided by the imperial court.

However, Qin Hui's name did not appear on the Ministry of Commerce's list.

This is a huge loss!

Xu Churen originally planned to plant tens of thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes first and make a fortune, but he never expected that someone from the common people would beat him to it.

Even if he went to the emperor to complain, there was nothing he could do. The emperor hadn't stipulated that only Xu Churen could grow sweet potatoes.

The emperor was concerned with whether sweet potatoes could solve the food problem; if they could, that would be enough.

Does the State Council intend to apply for a patent for sweet potatoes?

At this moment, Zhao Huan was in the palace. He sat in front of Han Chenchen's bed and peeled sweet potatoes for her: "When I was a child, I especially liked to eat them. By the way, the corn will be ready soon. When the corn is ripe, I will cook it for you, roast it, and make popcorn."
