Two imperial guards lifted Wu Dalang up, each holding one side of him. Wu Dalang tried to struggle, but was punched and then became obedient.

The three men were so frightened that their legs went weak, while Pan Jinlian, standing to the side, looked like a frightened little rabbit, her forehead covered in sweat.

Physician Hu took Wu Dalang's pulse, and after a moment, shook his head: "It's caused by consuming an excessive amount of Glauber's salt, and has nothing to do with sweet potatoes."

"Thank you very much, Physician Hu."

Physician Hu bowed and tidied himself up, saying, "I shall take my leave now."

Someone personally escorted Physician Hu out.

Then, Wu Dalang was hung up and beaten!

Several Imperial Guards smiled and said to Pan Jinlian, "Speak! Who gave your husband the Glauber's salt, and who told you to falsely accuse Yongle Grain Shop? We won't just strip you of your outer garments; we'll rip you naked and throw you out into the street!"

Pan Jinlian was so frightened that she trembled all over and told the whole story.

Overnight, the Yang family business in the south of the city was overwhelmed with visitors from the Kaifeng government office.

Yang's Trading Company is a very interesting trading company. Unlike other trading companies, they do not buy actual goods, but make money through business intelligence.

For example, the most popular food, the most popular storybooks, and the most popular clothes in Tokyo recently.

Moreover, they have their own ways of helping some trading companies expand their businesses and earning rewards in return.

It was only a short time after nightfall, and Tokyo was bustling with activity; it was impossible for a trading company to close at this hour.

But today, Yang's Trading Company is closed; not only closed, it has been sealed off.

In the middle of the night, the home of Liu Songren, a famous grain merchant in Tokyo, was surrounded.

Early the next morning, news that Liu Songren had bribed the Yang family business to frame Yongle Grain Shop was published in the Song Dynasty Gazette and the Tokyo Express.

This caused an uproar among the onlookers.

I've been refusing to eat roasted sweet potatoes for several days, and because of that damned Wu Dalang, I even had to pay to see a doctor.

Tell me now, it was all the work of Yang's Trading Company and Liu Songren behind all this.

What a swindler!

My roasted sweet potatoes are fine!

I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes!

Holy crap! I just fed the pigs the sweet potatoes I had stored at home, and you're telling me sweet potatoes are edible?!

Damn Yang's Trading Company, damn Lau Chung-yan!

The people of Tokyo were in an uproar!

From now on, if anyone dares to say that sweet potatoes are poisonous, I'll make sure they get poisoned first!

The resentment towards food can be immense!

Sometimes, Ye Chong didn't even know what he was doing.

Since following Master Zhao, he felt like his life was swinging on a swing, and his heart was beating faster.

The last time it was about Huaxing Spinning Wheels, and this time it's about Yongle Grain Shop.

Every time he went in, he thought his life was over.

But each time, for no apparent reason, they were released quickly.

This Mr. Zhao is truly a lucky star!

Soon, the most popular Yongle Grain Shop in Tokyo opened.

Unbeknownst to people, Zhu Qing, a wealthy businessman in Tokyo, was terrified at home.

He had originally planned to use the Yang family business to frame Yongle Grain Shop, but Liu Songren had done it first, so he simply gloated in private.

But to my surprise, the situation took a dramatic turn after only a few days of happiness.

Now, trying to reopen the Yongle Grain Shop would be harder than climbing to heaven.

Zhu Qing keenly sensed that there must be officials backing Yongle Grain Shop, otherwise the matter could not have been turned around so quickly.

This really worried him.

It seems that the only option now is to buy sweet potato seeds at a high price, but how can so many sweet potatoes be grown in such a short time!

Not only Zhu Qingchou, but all the grain merchants in Dongjing City are now starting to worry.

The grain merchants were worried, and the emperor was happy.

After hearing He Liming's report on the latest news from Tokyo, Zhao Huan felt a great sense of relief.

Sweet potatoes are just the first killer move. The potatoes in Xiejia Village next to Niujia Village are also ripe. This winter, the grain merchants in Tokyo City are going to go completely crazy!

In ancient times, a village was very large, and a lot of crops were grown there.

Yongsheng Grain Shop has now contracted several transport teams to load goods day and night, transporting large truckloads of sweet potatoes and potatoes from Fengqiu to Dongjingcheng.

Therefore, Ye Chong bought a storage room in the heart of the new city.

He originally planned to buy in a very remote area, which would be cheaper.

But in Zhao Guanren's words, this place is to be transformed into a magnificent theater in the future, so for now, we'll just put some sweet potatoes and potatoes here for now.

In the blink of an eye, it's already late autumn.

Zhao Huan had just finished listening to Xu Churen's report that the imperial fields had already harvested a lot of sweet potatoes, which were being transported in large quantities to Jiangling Prefecture and Jingdong Road.

Most importantly, the cement road connecting Tokyo to Gangneung Prefecture is finally completed!

This means that the time for transporting goods has been reduced by half!

From a businessman's perspective, the transportation costs have decreased. Previously, the maximum number of sweet potatoes that could be sold in Jiangling Prefecture per month was 10,000, because the stockpiled goods could not keep up with the sales.

But now, at least 20,000 sweet potatoes can be sold every month.

This means that more funds are circulating within a fixed time frame.

This also means that the imperial court is collecting more taxes!

In this late autumn, Tokyo showed no signs of chill.

People wore cheap clothes from Li's Cloth Shop, ate hot roasted sweet potatoes from Yongle Grain Shop, and sat in the entertainment district listening to storytelling and watching folk performances.

Winter seems to have arrived earlier than usual this year, but it's also more comfortable.

Folk music has its own style, and so does Zhao Huan's music.
