Even though Marquis Jiangyin still possessed martial strength and ordinary people could not get close to him, he was old. Adding on his injuries, he could usually ride a carriage and definitely did not ride a horse.
However, now that the matter was urgent, he couldn't care less. He jumped on the horse and rushed to the manor.
His heart was filled with anxiety and could not calm down.
The news he brought back this time was about a group poisoning incident after eating potatoes in the capital. The imperial court was furious and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a ban on planting potatoes. However, the amount of information behind this news was extremely huge.
What he was most concerned about was the marriage between the Seventh Prince and his youngest daughter. Empress Ma had already pleaded for Zhu Yuanzhang to allow the Seventh Prince to return to the capital to get married.
Although Zhu Rong had reminded him that his residence in the capital had been taken over by a viper, it would be best if he could return to the capital to get married.
And once the Emperor and Empress decided to let the Seventh Prince return to the capital to get married, they would definitely think of ways to solve the problem of the Imperial Residence.
However, now, everything could turn into a bubble. This was because the potato was a high-yield crop that the Seventh Prince had taken out and promoted in Qi Land.
Although the tax was the responsibility of the governor of Jinan Prefecture, Tie Xuan, he was the first person in charge, but the Seventh Prince could not get away with it no matter what.
Originally, the Seventh Prince was not valued and was kicked to the remote Qingzhou by Zhu Yuanzhang. Now, there was a collective poisoning of potatoes. What should they do?!
The old man was anxious!
When he returned to the manor, he didn't get off his horse and asked the servant who was busy,""Where is His Highness King Qi?"
"Marquis Jiangyin, His Highness King Qi is at the granary.”
Marquis Jiangyin whipped his horse, urging it to gallop towards the granary.
Soon, they arrived outside the granary.
This was also the new granary that was built this year. Sacks after sacks of grain were being carried by the employees and placed neatly inside the granary.
Zhu Rong stood at the door, talking to the person in charge, giving instructions.
Marquis Jiangyin directly walked over and grabbed Zhu Rong's sleeve as he walked outside. Zhu Rong still had some things to say to the person in charge, but before he could finish, he was dragged outside by the old man.
"Father-in-law, what's going on? Panicking?"
Marquis Jiangyin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and panted heavily. He didn't bother to wipe his sweat and said,"Your Highness, something bad has happened!”
Zhu Rong asked in bafflement,""Father-in-law, don't be anxious.”
Only then did Marquis Jiangyin tell Zhu He about the news from the capital. When Zhu He heard it, he was also dumbstruck and shocked.
The script did not go in the direction he had thought. If he took out such a high-yield crop like potatoes, the Ming Dynasty would save countless lives. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a farmer, would definitely attach great importance to it.
Such a huge contribution actually caused such a storm?!
A collective poisoning incident occurred in the capital, and one-third of the army was paralyzed. The imperial court was furious, and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the entire country to ban the planting of potatoes!
Zhu Rong was stunned when he heard the news.
He never dreamed that such a bizarre thing would happen. It was obviously a very good thing, so how did it turn out like this?!
"Your Highness, come up with an idea!”
Marquis Jiangyin was a general after all. It was fine for him to lead troops into battle, but it was indeed a little lacking for him to come up with ideas. He also knew that Zhu Rong was not as simple as he appeared to be. He was a person who had great ideas and could make decisions.
Right now, Zhu Rong didn't have any strategists by his side. He could only rely on himself.
Marquis Jiangyin couldn't find anyone else to discuss this matter, so he headed straight for the manor to find Zhu Rong.
Zhu Rong slowly digested the news and let out a breath of turbid air."Father-in-law, I understand."
Then, he shouted at the person-in-charge a few times and instructed him on what to do.
Hmm?
Finished?
Was it over just because he knew?
Marquis Jiangyin was stunned.
Zhu Rong's reaction was beyond his expectations.
Why did King Qi act as if nothing had happened to him?
He only said,"I know!"
Marquis Jiangyin pulled Zhu Rong over." Don't worry about these grains. Tell me, what should we do?" I'm afraid there will be another setback in your marriage with the Wu family and you won't be able to return to the capital to get married! If you return to the royal court, I'm afraid you'll have even less hope!”
Zhu Rong smiled. He had never planned to return to the imperial court. Even if he had the chance to, he would not be interested.
Only in his own territory could he accumulate strength. As for marriage, he did not have much hope of returning to the capital to get married.
His mansion had already been taken by Zhu Biao's eldest son. How could it be so easy for the Crown Prince to spit out the meat that he had eaten?
A mere 200,000 taels of silver for the construction of King Qi's mansion had not been transferred to his account yet. Did he still expect him to give up his mansion in the capital?
Zhu Rong patted the back of Marquis Jiangyin's hand and slowly said,""Father-in-law, don't panic, don't panic!”
Marquis Jiangyin really couldn't understand. This Seventh Prince was clearly so young, but why did he have such determination.
He was the one consoling himself when a huge disaster struck him.
However, Zhu Rong's determination also calmed Marquis Jiangyin down. He sighed and said,"How can I not panic? All my plans have been messed up again.”
A few days ago, the old man had been so excited that he couldn't sleep because King Qi had returned to the capital to get married and even had the chance to return to the royal court.
But now, all these things were about to change. How could he not be anxious, flustered, and anxious?
