Ma Jiamen: I was forced to fight for supremacy

Chapter 146: The Farmer's Master and the Legendary Junior Sister

The mountain breeze gently caressed the green leaves, and the mist rising from the small waterfall occasionally reflected a rainbow.

In the pavilion, two people were fighting fiercely.

Ma Zhan held the piece with two fingers, considered it over and over again, and made a careful move.

"Pa... General. Haha... Thank you for letting me in."

Ma Zhan has completed three consecutive victories against Mr. San.

Mr. San is worthy of being a chess master. Ma Zhan, a poor chess player, is already having a hard time facing Mr. San, who has just figured out the rules.

Mr. San looked at the pawn standing in the middle of the chessboard and said calmly.

"As expected of a military scholar, the art of tactical warfare is evident in every aspect of this chess game."

That’s right, the two of them were not playing Go, but chess.

This was specially prepared by Ma Zhan for Mr. San.

Seeing Mr. San so calm, Ma Zhan put away his smug smile.

"Mr. San, I should go to the next level."

'Hurry up and leave, we can't start the fourth game.

If you don't make a move now, your true chess skills will be exposed.'

Mr. San imitated Ma Zhan and performed a fist-clasping salute.

"Thank you, Mr. Lundao, for teaching me how to play chess. If we have the chance, we can play a few more games of 'Kill...'"

After bidding farewell to Mr. San, Ma Zhan’s confidence increased.

I originally thought that the disciples of the chief priest were either out of touch with the world or had strange personalities.

I didn't expect these gentlemen to be so kind.

Even a little... cute.

Ma Zhan was walking and thinking, and found that the road under his feet had become neater and wider.

Continue along the wide mountain road.

"Wow, what neatly-kept fields..."

This must be the masterpiece of the great master. Each piece is as neat as a piece of tofu.

Various crops are grown in dry fields and paddy fields.

A strong man takes good care of each plant.

Long-term farm work made him muscular.

After being exposed to the wind and sun for an unknown period of time, his skin became rough and dark, making him look even more muscular.

This is the great master. Ma Zhan didn’t expect that the chief disciple of the chief priest would be so down-to-earth.

"Mr. Big, do you need any help?"

The master raised his head and saw Ma Zhan standing beside the ridge, and smiled innocently.

"You, the man of the Tao, also understand the work of the fields."

In his previous life, Ma Zhan’s family farmed the land, and when he was very young, he followed his parents to the fields.

It was basically his parents who worked while he played in the fields.

At most, I have only seen people working in the fields.

Ma Zhan answered cheekily.

"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

"Oh? Wait a minute."

The master seemed to have found a kindred spirit. After a quick packing, he came before Ma Zhan.

"Those who discuss the Dao, please follow me."

Mr. Da brought Ma Zhan to a house that looked like a warehouse. After triggering a simple mechanism, he took Ma Zhan into another world.

Ma Zhan looked at the colorful vegetables and fruits in front of him.

I looked up and saw that there was no roof, but instead there was a slight fluctuation of array patterns.

"I'm going to... the greenhouse."

"Sir, I admire you for thinking of planting in this way."

Ma Zhan had to admire that this world could come up with the idea of using greenhouses to grow vegetables.

This great gentleman has very advanced ideas.

The master smiled innocently and said.

"This is what Junior Sister taught me. Remove the roof of the house and cover it with a formation.

This ensures that the temperature in the room is moderate while also ensuring that the vegetables are exposed to sunlight.

Following my junior sister's idea, I built this greenhouse.

Even in the cold winter, vegetables can grow normally.

The only drawback is that these greenhouses are too difficult to build and cannot be promoted to ordinary people’s homes.”

"Junior sister... Why is it another junior sister? Is this junior sister also a transmigrated one?"

Seeing Ma Zhan seemed to be lost in thought, Mr. Da asked softly.

"Excuse me, Mr. Debate, is there anything you think of that can be improved in this greenhouse?"

"oh..."

Ma Zhan came to his senses and replied.

“This greenhouse is already very good, but the cost of the array pattern is indeed a big problem.

Maybe one day we can find something cheaper.

This thing can both let in sunlight and also has a certain ability to keep warm.

In this way, people all over the world can eat fresh vegetables even in winter."

"Ugh..."

Ma Zhan didn't know if he had touched the master's sore spot, but his expression suddenly darkened.

The great master said with a worried tone, “Those who discuss the Dao don’t know that not all people in the world can be like Qingshui Jun and the three Zibo states.

I have traveled around the world for several years and have seen the suffering of the people.

People all over the world work hard in the fields, but most of them can only afford to fill their stomachs.

In winter, people can't even fill their stomachs, let alone eat fresh vegetables.

I want people to have a greenhouse in their homes, but I only want to give the poor people a possibility.

In winter, I can only fill my stomach with fresh vegetables and food from the noble families."

The master's words made Ma Zhan feel mixed emotions.

I feel pity for the suffering of the people of the world, but I also admire the great master.

Anyone would say "concerned about the people," but Ma Zhan only saw the Great Master and Ji Wuchen do it themselves. They were the true saints, weren't they?

As to the question of why the people could not have enough to eat, Ma Zhan did not make any comments in front of the great master.

He just did his best to help the master come up with a solution, a solution that could prevent more than one billion people from going hungry.

“Sir, I see you are still growing rice outside.

I have an immature little idea that you can refer to. "

Hearing this, Mr. Da's eyes lit up obviously and he asked excitedly.

"what idea?"

Ma Zhan tried his best to express his own understanding.

“When the rice grown by the people matures, the fruits are plentiful, but they themselves are somewhat delicate.

On the contrary, some wild rice has strong vitality, but becomes shriveled when old.

We can combine the two types of rice, taking the advantages of each, and cultivate a new type of rice.

It has the plump grains of farmed rice and the tenacious vitality of wild rice. . . ”

The hybrid rice remarks made Mr. Da's body tremble.

Ma Zhan seemed to help him open the door to a new world.

"I have always provided the best growing environment for my crops, but why didn't I think of making them stronger..."

The practical student was about to do it immediately, but was stopped by Ma Zhan.

"Don't worry, Mr. Big. I haven't finished yet."

"I'm sorry, I got impatient."

Ma Zhan continued.

“I just know there is a method called artificial detasseling.

By removing the stamens from one rice plant and pollinating it with pollen from another, the hybridization process is controlled.

That's all I can think of, sir.

As for whether we can cultivate rice with strong growth, high yield, and wide adaptability, that depends on you, sir."

The master's eyes sparkled with stars, and then he bowed deeply.

"On behalf of the people of the world, I thank the Taoists."

Ma Zhan returned the favor with the same courtesy.

"I, on behalf of the people of the world, would like to thank you, Master."
