Communicate with furry animals without any barriers, and take the farm to the next level

Chapter 250

Dense river network!

In the past, Chaoyang City was very inconspicuous compared to other big cities, and he had never paid attention to the downstream rivers. So, he could go and explore to see if water transportation could be developed.

At that time, if there is trade between the two sides, they can go through this side, saving a lot of costs.

Josh thought of what Conrad had in mind almost instantly. She and Oswin looked at each other and secretly made a decision in their hearts that when they had time, they would go upstream along the surrounding rivers to see the situation of the rivers.

But Josh just wanted to ask Conrad what he thought of these smuggled beavers, so why didn't he react at all?
Josh tried to find out, "The beaver came from Moon Bay. Wouldn't Farmer Conrad mind?"

"Mind? Why not? Those beavers have been breeding too fast in recent years. My farm has affected their normal reproduction to a certain extent. There are more and more healthy beaver cubs, and there are more and more fights between them.

Honestly, I'd love to see some little beavers out here finding their own way."

Seeing Josh's somewhat surprised expression, Conrad smiled. "You don't think I treat these beavers as my private property, do you? No, at best, they live next to Moon Farm. We are just slightly closer neighbors. They are free to go wherever they want and live with whomever they want."

After hearing this, Josh looked at him more favorably and smiled sheepishly: "I'm sorry, Farmer Conrad, I'm just worried that you might think I abducted these little guys."

"Hahaha, kidnapping! If you really want to kidnap a few beavers, I'd applaud you." A bitter look crossed his face. "The beaver population is truly oversaturated. Not only do they fight over territory, but they also frequently steal food from farms. Seriously, if you need beaver labor, feel free to hire them at Moon Bay."

If he didn't say it, perhaps no one would know that the Moon Farm is now overcrowded with beavers. Due to the large area of ​​the farm, the original foraging area of ​​the beavers has been reduced, and their lives have begun to depend on the employment of the Moon Farm. Logically speaking, with such a rich labor resource, the farmer should be very happy.

However, the type of work that beavers do is not suitable for most farm work; they are only needed for harvesting low crops and clearing canals.

Many times, the farm is unable to hire too many beavers, and many beavers start fighting for the opportunity to be hired. After being injured, staff from the Elf Employment Agency often come to the farm to issue fines.

Although it was only a few hundred federal points, to be honest, Conrad was very annoyed.

He even risked being discovered by the Federation and secretly reached an agreement with those overly active beavers to help them go to other farms to work, that is, to work illegally.

There really is no way. Although these little guys are intelligent creatures, their brains are limited. If he doesn't send them off to the west, these little guys will have to return to the farm along the same route, causing trouble for him.

This kind of thing was strictly prohibited, as it involved trafficking in the original Overworld monsters. But what else could he do? If he had known that the expansion of the farm would squeeze out the beavers' feeding grounds, he would not have expanded in that direction. Well, now if he didn't help them find a solution, he would be the one to suffer.

Just thinking about it put Conrad into another dilemma.

"Little farmer Josh, I'm not kidding you. I'm telling you seriously, if you need a beaver, please don't worry about my opinion and just go and recruit them." He repeated.

Qiao Xi recalled what the beaver had told her before and fell into deep thought. It was indeed not enough to have only a few beavers on the farm. It would be really good if she could hire a few more.

"Then I'll obey your orders. I'll have the beavers on the farm recruit new beaver laborers when the opportunity arises. Thank you in advance, Farmer Conrad." Josh nodded and smiled. "Then you can have Silla take them to select strong beavers. She knows more about this than anyone else," Conrad said with a headache.

"Hahaha"

-

They had originally planned to go to the Weiguang Commercial District to check out the construction progress, but since Conrad came to visit, Josh and Oswin simply put aside their work there and came together to entertain him.

After all, there are too few people on the farm, and if Josh is left alone, he will inevitably show his weakness.

After chatting in the reception room, several people began to move to the farm. Moon Farm mainly focuses on aquaculture and aquatic plant cultivation.

There are not many areas of conflict or competition between the two sides. On the contrary, there are many areas where they can complement each other.

"So, you have such a large lake, but you only have a few small boats fishing there. Apart from that, you haven't made any other development to it?" Conrad had an expression as if he was wasting resources.

"I really don't know where to start, and the farm's main business focus is still on farmland and magic fruit forest. I really don't think much of the Glimmering Lake." Josh smiled embarrassedly.

"What a pity," Conrad sighed.

"You know, besides magical beasts, there are also some small animals with attribute energy but no intelligence, such as dough fish. They're not magical beasts and aren't subject to relevant regulations, but they're also very expensive. At the same time, they can be processed into high-quality attribute food and easily sold. Since you don't have time to manage this large lake, you can definitely raise some easy-to-use attribute fish and then bring in some beavers from Moon Bay to help you manage it. You just need to take the time to patrol them regularly, and in the fall you'll reap countless treasures."

"Besides, with these few small boats, most of the fish they can catch are ordinary fish. Why waste the effort when the price is so low?"

It has to be said that what Conrad said was indeed very tempting, but Josh did not have the energy to worry about it for the time being. She would consider developing Shimmering Lake after the basic crops grown on the farm were fixed.

After all, although he spoke so well, he had no experience and would only suffer heavy losses if he acted rashly.

Besides, those boats are not Qiao Xi's personal property, so she doesn't need to worry about them and can get a share of the profits. A little is better, and it is acceptable for now.

Besides, if too many beavers are introduced as laborers and the fish are not raised well, and a bunch of beavers are left on the farm, then the farm will become the same as the Moon Farm. It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

Seeing that Josh was moved but didn't say anything easily, Conrad felt a little regretful. He thought he could send away some beavers, but it seemed that they were not attractive enough.

"There are so many kinds of magic fruit trees on the farm, and pollination and other things like that are a big project. Do you have any good contacts with beekeepers or butterfly breeders? Don't forget about them when the flowering season comes." Conrad changed the subject and gave a few suggestions.

"There are bee monsters on the farm, so there's no need to worry about that." Josh explained.

"Oh, Silla never told me this." Conrad became interested when he heard about the honey monster.
