No matter how fertile the land, if crops have been planted for several years without interruption, and there is no external fertilizer supplement, it will become barren.The rhizobia of leguminous plants can fix nitrogen, and planting a season of soybeans is equivalent to spreading a hemp basket of nitrogen fertilizer on the land.

"No, no, no." The farmers waved their hands one after another: "This soybean can't be eaten as food, and it can't be sold for much... We don't even have money to eat."

Ma Xiaorui said: "But you will lose money if you plant this kind of corn, why don't you give it a try?"

He turned his head and glanced at Huo Qin, who was looking at him, blinking innocently, as if listening to an unknown story, and clapped and said, "That's amazing!"

... Hero, is your biological knowledge just eaten with food?I need your support!

"Ah, yes!" Huo Qin came to his senses and said, "Anyway, both sides are losing money, why not give it a try? Maybe this year's soybeans can be sold at a good price!"

Ma Xiaorui continued to explain: "Now the corn has just been harvested, so it's not autumn yet, just take advantage of the free time in the farmland to plant a season of soybeans, after the harvest, you can continue to plant corn next year, and the harvest will definitely be better than this year. "

"How can this work?" The farmers continued to wave their hands: "Planting corn once a year, the land is already so bad, and now we have to plant soybeans again, wouldn't that be even worse? No..."

"Yeah, the harvest will definitely get worse and worse!"

"If next year's corn is affected, we really won't be able to eat."

"Hey, I know that there are several bean growers in the east of the city. Their harvest is really good. The corn they grow is big and plentiful, and they look good—"

"That's right!" Ma Xiaorui patted the table and said, "Let me just say it! It's definitely possible to grow soybeans! Look at them—"

"No, no, no..." The farmer waved his hand again: "I have been to those houses specifically, and they put the statue of the god of agriculture in the best room! They worship every morning and evening, offering the best food!"

Ma Xiaorui: "..."

He felt like he was playing the piano against a cow, and he couldn't use all his skills, as if his fist hit a ball of cotton with the sound of breaking wind.

No, he is teaching the cow to play the piano...

He told the cow that you want to play like this, and the cow said, no, no, no, I will not play, I will step on the grass.Hey, why didn't the grass make the same sound as the piano?It must be grass that doesn't please my eyes...

He has one head and two big ones.Thinking about how to use the way of Grandpa Bai Juyi to explain science in an easy-to-understand way, so that the Mayan farmers here believe that "planting beans can make the land better".

"Yes, it must be so!" Huo Qin suddenly realized and patted the table: "Their land is good because of the blessing of the God of Agriculture!"

What? ! ! !He raised his eyebrows and looked back at Huo Qin, are you kidding me?

Huo Qin took another mouthful of cornflour and raised his head unhurriedly.

Ma Xiaorui suddenly felt relieved.

He didn't know what Huo Qin was planning, but it must be on his side.He was sure of that.

Huo Qin asked: "But why does everyone plant the same corn, but the god of agriculture favors them?"

The farmers looked at each other.

"Isn't it because they took better care of Saturn?"

"...Could it be that the god of agriculture likes to eat soybeans?" The farmer just now said again: "I once saw that their family offered soybeans..."

"Eh? Really? Why haven't I heard of this statement before? Why don't you ask the priest?"

"Come on... the priest won't care about our affairs."

"But what if I make a mistake? It would be bad to provoke the god of agriculture..."

"..."

"How about this," Huo Qin said: "In our hometown, there are also some divination techniques. Why don't we ask the god of agriculture, so that even if the god of agriculture blames it, it won't be blamed on you. "

The farmers looked at each other.

"This...how good is this?" one of them said.

"It doesn't matter, we are businessmen, and we worship the god of business. The god of agriculture doesn't care about us." Ma Xiaorui said.

"Oh! That's good..." The farmers breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Qin smiled and said: "Then how about we set it at this time tomorrow? Divination is actually quite simple..."

The farmers nodded and dispersed after eating their fill. They made an appointment to come back tomorrow night.

Ma Xiaorui bumped his head on Huo Qin's shoulder: "Ah... people's wisdom is not yet developed..."

Huo Qin smiled and touched his head: "So we can only use 'gods' to explain."

"After you get used to it, you will find that they are actually very easy to fool..." Huo Qin spread his hands helplessly: "It's just to complete the game task anyway."

Ma Xiaorui blinked and looked up at him.

In the game designed by this guy, the crops depend on the sky, and the farmers don't have the slightest common sense about this...

He couldn't help but wonder if the game was designed like this because it only wanted to express the Mayan commoners' worship of gods, or because... the designer didn't know anything about agriculture?

He raised his eyebrows.

"Okay," Huo Qin spread his hands: "You know I'm a code writer, what is agricultural technology, I don't know..."

"Baby, I really don't know anything about it," Huo Qin said like a roundworm in his stomach: "No one in the team is proficient... If you hire another expert in this field, you will have to pay more, so we simply set it as So..."

"Then there's nothing common sense?"

"Yes! There are still!" Huo Qin hurriedly said: "At least the people in the team know something, so we set up some irrelevant priests, but they are really irrelevant and useless."

Ma Xiaorui: "..."

He finally understood what Huo Qin said when he entered the game: "The direction of agricultural technology? Well, it fits well with this place..."

Is it not just a ride?Agriculture here is a blank slate... He has no opponent at all!This game is basically tailor-made for him!

He picked out a fish ball from Huo Qin's bowl, and said with a playful smile, "Did you know me a long time ago and wanted to chase me, so you made it like this on purpose?"

Huo Qin: "..."

The next evening.

After the farmers came up from the field, they came to Chengxuan Tavern as promised.

The voice in the hall outside gradually died down. Ma Xiaorui and Huo Qin came out of the back kitchen, but were dumbfounded.

In the hall, there was a group of people surrounded by Wuyang Wuyang, all of whom were farmers from the appearance of their clothes.After everyone had eaten their fill, they waited for the two of them to come and start "asking the god of agriculture".

"Let me tell you, two bosses," one of them said hesitantly, "You are from other places. Use your method to ask the god of agriculture on our side. Can the god of agriculture hear you?"

Ma Xiaorui smiled, and only said: "Everyone, just watch."

He showed them a copper plate in his hand: "This copper plate has two sides, the front and the back have different patterns, you see."

The copper plate was passed around in the hands of everyone, and the farmers nodded to show that they understood.

The copper plate returned to Ma Xiaorui's hand. He held his breath, stood by the table, and turned serious.

Seeing this, everyone stopped talking and stared at the square table and the boss beside the square table.

Huo Qin placed a bowl half filled with water in the center of the table.

Ma Xiaorui held the copper plate in his palm, but no one noticed that he had just dropped it.

There are two copper plates, but before last night, they were still two bare plates.The size and shape are exactly the same, he and Huo Qin processed it last night.

The front and back of one are different patterns and the other is the same.

"It's about the survival of farmers in Tikal. Now it's up to the humble me to ask the respected God of Saturn," Ma Xiaorui said loudly: "We want to know whether you will favor farmers who grow soybeans? Will you, after they plant soybeans, Increase the yield of corn?"

"If yes, please turn the front side of the copper plate towards us, if not, please turn the back side towards us."

"For the trouble, I hope you will forgive me..."

Afterwards, Ma Xiaorui closed his eyes, held the copper plate in the palm of his hand, put both hands on his chest, and muttered something.

No one heard what he said, as if no one noticed that the taller boss who had been standing behind him had disappeared.

The boss with his eyes closed moved his lips slightly, as if he was singing an unknown poem. His singing voice became louder and louder, but it stopped abruptly after reaching a certain decibel.

Ma Xiaorui opened his eyes.

A sharp-eyed farmer noticed that the sky outside had darkened, but the surrounding light seemed to be much brighter than the previous few days.

How is this possible?What is burning is an oil lamp!Oil lamps are as bright as they are, so how can they dim and brighten by themselves?

Goosebumps instantly appeared on the man's arms.The god of agriculture and agriculture appeared?

However, at this juncture, the surroundings are extremely quiet, and everyone is staring at the copper plate in the boss's hand.He didn't dare to make any sound, so he could only watch the movement of the copper plate with wide eyes.

Ma Xiaorui bounced the copper plate.After tumbling several times in the air, the copper plate fell into the bowl in the center of the table impartially.Water splashes.

Everyone exclaimed and stretched their necks to see.I don't know who shouted "Front!" Suddenly, everyone cheered and applauded.

The god of agriculture has appeared!

The farmer who noticed that his surroundings had become brighter dared to speak out now, and pulled the arms of the people around him to tell him about his discovery, but no one paid him any attention.

Ma Xiaorui looked at this person and smiled imperceptibly.

Well, the eyes are quite sharp...

He picked up the bowl on the table, raised it above his head, and looked devoutly at the roof, which is the place closest to the sky.It's like a lost child wants to hug the teacher who gave him guidance.

The crowd became quiet again, and they all lowered their heads and raised their heads to express their gratitude.

Ma Xiaorui moved his eyes and glanced at them.

The real fun has just begun.
