In order to celebrate the bumper harvest of rice, the villagers deliberately left Bai Junyi and Xu Ziqing as guests, and naturally Xiang Bosheng, the biggest hero, became the core of this banquet.

This also makes Bai Junyi's heart more satisfied, these villagers will be the foundation of the future Bird Fairy Gate, and if you are friendly with these villagers, it will be easier to encircle these villagers in the future. Of course, the main food of this banquet is these rice, a big bowl of rice is placed in front of him, even Xu Ziqing will not get tired of eating it, after all, these rice still have a little sweetness, and seeing some children in the village can't wait to swallow it, the adults in the village can see it

This scene is all laughing.

"Mr. Xiang is really amazing, in just one and a half months, this so-called rice has such a miraculous effect, which is equivalent to several times our annual yield. An old black man spoke.

It seems that the latter is now the village chief of this village, according to the introduction to Bosheng, this person is called Xu Laoer, and he is a respected person in this village, at this time Xu Laoer lifted a wine bowl.

"Come, Mr. Xiang, I salute you a bowl, we are all countrymen, and there is nothing to entertain, this is my own home-brewed roast, don't dislike it." Xu Lao Er said.

"Village chief, you're too polite, but I'm not a good person, but the village chief is so enthusiastic, then I'll do this bowl." Xiang Bosheng drank all the wine in one go.

And this is also to make the young people in the village applaud, and during the banquet, Xu Lao Er also expressed his gratitude to Bai Junyi and them, if it weren't for the Bird Fairy Gate, they would not have today's harvest, and they were happy at the banquet.

But at this time, suddenly a young man outside the door suddenly broke in, and seeing him in a panic, Xu Lao Er frowned.

"Why are you in a hurry, didn't you see that we are having a banquet here?" Xu Lao Er snorted, his words were still somewhat majestic.

Sure enough, the young man was also startled, but his face was still anxious.

"The village chief was embarrassed, but something big happened, and a group of officers and soldiers came outside, saying that they were here to collect food. The young man hurried.

"What, is it coming to collect the grain tax now? But this is unreasonable, it's only been half a year, how can it be collected now. Xu Lao Er was also taken aback, but his face showed doubt.

Hearing this, Bai Junyi and they have also heard of it, even in such a rural village, it is necessary to pay grain tax every year, as long as it is within the country, it is the obligation of the people, but listening to Xu Lao'er's tone, it seems that this matter should be extraordinary.

Xu Lao Er made a compensatory gesture to Bai Junyi and the others, and then got up and left the house, Bai Junyi also got up and walked out of the house, he also wanted to see what was going on.

Sure enough, when I walked out of the house, I could see some soldiers on tall horses, sitting proudly on their horses, and then looking at the villagers below.

"Are you the village chief?" said a big man sitting in front of him.

After hearing his words, Xu Lao Er also nodded hurriedly.

"Back to my lord, the old man is the village chief Xu Lao Er of this Baibei Village, I don't know what the adults have to say. Xu Lao Er nodded and said.

"Don't talk nonsense, we're here to collect the grain tax, hand over the grain, and we'll make a difference. The leader of the big man spoke.

The latter should be the leader of this group of soldiers, Xu Lao Er frowned slightly.

"My lord, why do we have to pay the grain tax in Baibei Village half a year ago?" asked Xu Lao Er.

"Bold, you dare to argue with adults. At this time, one of the subordinates beside the big man said angrily, being frightened like this, although Xu Lao Er was the village chief, he was just a village man after all, and he immediately lost his confidence.

And the subordinate was about to take the whip to whip Xu Er, at this time Bai Junyi grabbed the whip, and then with a little force, he directly ripped the dog's leg off the horse, and the latter rolled on the ground a few times, and then became disgraced.

"As a soldier of the imperial court, but you do it to some helpless villagers, you soldiers can be it. Bai Junyi said.

"Who are you?" the big man was also taken aback after seeing Bai Junyi.

He could see at a glance that Bai Junyi was not an ordinary person, and he didn't even see the speed of his hand just now.

"I'm a monk from the Sparrow Fairy Sect, and if you're not satisfied, I can play with you. Bai Junyi said.

After hearing this, the big man's face changed, and he had also heard of the cultivators of the Bird Immortal Sect, and it was said that even the elite of the State Sect was not their opponent.

"Do you know who you are talking to? We represent the Kingdom of Mu, if you dare to do anything to us, then it is treason, and this grain tax is an order of the Holy One, and we act according to the will of the Holy One, and you dare to stop it. "That big man showed off his might.

As for the latter's high-mindedness, Bai Junyi just exuded a murderous aura on his body, and suddenly all the horses were frightened, and the big man rolled off the horse when he couldn't sit still, and Bai Junyi stepped forward to lift the latter up.

"I don't care if you really seal the will, this is the territory of my Bird Fairy Gate, and I won't stop you if you want to collect food, but if you give me respect, and hurt the people of this village, I will let your heads fall to the ground. Bai Junyi said.

Hearing Bai Junyi's words, the big man could only nod his head resignedly, and didn't say much at all.

"Village chief, the grain tax is usually in what amount. Bai Junyi said.

"In our village, it's twenty quintals. Xu Lao Er is also coming back to his senses now.

"Well, just give them the grain tax. Bai Junyi said, hearing his words, Xu Lao Er also hurriedly asked the villagers to prepare, and only then did Bai Junyi look at the big man. "Get out of here with the food tax, and if you dare to come over and make trouble, I'll break your leg next time." ”

Then Bai Junyi let go of the frightened big man, and the villagers quickly prepared twenty loads of grain, thanks to the credit of the rice, otherwise they would not have been able to come up with so much grain. After getting the food, the big man didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he fled away from the village in a hurry with his own people, and after seeing these soldiers leave, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief, and then expressed their gratitude to Bai Junyi.
