A successful baryogenesis theory requires a baryon-minus-lepton number violation if it works before the electroweak phase transition. The baryon-minus-lepton number violation could also exist in some proton decay modes. We propose a model to show that the cosmological baryon asymmetry and the proton decay could have a common origin. Specifically, we introduce an isotriplet and two isosinglet leptoquark scalars as well as two isotriplet Higgs scalars to the canonical seesaw model. The decays of the Higgs triplets can generate a desired baryon-minus-lepton asymmetry in the leptoquarks. After the Higgs triplets pick up their seesaw-suppressed vacuum expectation values, the leptoquarks with TeV-scale masses can mediate a testable proton decay.
