The Pretty Man I Picked Up [Time Travel]

Chapter 117 Is Xu Haorui your in-law?

The next day, Luo Mingxuan took Wen Chengyu's warrant and went to the Yamen to send officials to seven villages near Xintang Village. He needed to notify the village chiefs in advance of the time and place for potato distribution.

Officials bring gongs and ring them when they enter the village.

When the villagers heard the sound of the gong being struck, they all ran out curiously to join in the fun. When they saw that the person coming was a man in official uniform, they were both frightened and curious. What happened?

Watch from a distance.

Until the village chief rushed over and stepped forward to ask.

When the official saw the village chief, he informed them about the distribution of seed potatoes and explained the objective yield of potatoes grown by the villagers of Zixintang Village. Then he took out the list given by Luo Mingxuan and showed it to everyone. He praised the people above him in front of him.

Villagers have been stunned by the potato yield.

The official finally agreed with the village chief that the potatoes would be distributed tomorrow, and asked the villagers to gather at the entrance of the village to wait, and then left.

The nearest village to Xintang Village is Xinbao Village, which has a family surnamed Zhao.

After hearing the list that the official had mentioned, the clan leader did not have the names of their in-laws, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Hey, official, didn't you say that everyone in Xintang Village has grown potatoes? How come there are not all people on your list?"

After hearing this, the officer carefully counted the names on the list. Yes, there were twenty-three names in total. Seeing that the other party was old, he patiently asked: "Old man, how can you think that there are not all the people? Could it be that you missed it?"

The head of the Zhao family rubbed his ears and was not sure, "Can the officer take a look and see if there is anyone named Xu here?"

The official lowered his head and said, "Yes, the first one is Xu Haorui. Oh yes, he discovered potatoes. He was the first to plant them and took the whole village to plant them."

The head of the Zhao family shook his head after hearing this. He didn't know this person, and asked again: "Is there Xu Changsheng? Or Xu Tang's family?"

When the official heard Xu Tang's name, he sneered and said, "Uncle, you don't know this. Of all the people in Xintang Village, her family has not been sold to our Yamen. It is probably because there are no relatives of hers in the nearby villages."

After the officer finished speaking, he felt something was wrong, "...are you a relative of her family? I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."

The head of the Zhao family was stunned, slowly shook his head, took two steps back, and waved his hand, "No, no, I just know that there is a child in their family, so I am curious to ask, curious to ask."

"Well, that's good. I often hear that scholars are the most ruthless people. I think you're right. Not only did the boy refuse to persuade his mother, he even allowed his mother to sell it to a merchant for more than 20 coins a pound. I didn’t expect the yamen to buy it for eight cents a pound and distribute it to their relatives for planting.”

"Old man, if you have nothing to do, I'll leave first." The official handed the list to the village chief and said goodbye to him.

The head of Xinbao Village thanked him repeatedly, patted the old man beside him sympathetically, and comforted him: "Master Zhao, just think of seeing that family as soon as possible. Remember to ask the juniors in the family to pick up the potatoes tomorrow."
