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.

By then, if there is trade between the two sides, they can do so from this side, saving a lot of costs.

Josh thought of what Conrad thought of almost instantly. She and Oswin looked at each other and secretly decided that when they had time, they would go upstream along the surrounding rivers to see the conditions of the rivers.

But Josh just wanted to ask Conrad what he thought of these sneaked in beavers, why didn't he react at all?

Josh tried to find out, "The beaver came from Moon Bay. Farmer Conrad, don't you 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 little beavers, and there are more and more fights between them.

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

Seeing Josh's somewhat surprised expression, Conrad smiled and said, "You don't think I regard these beavers as my private property, do you? No, at best they live next to the Moon Farm, and 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 embarrassedly: "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." He said with a bitter look on his face, "The number of beavers is really too saturated. Not only do they fight for territory, but they also often run to farms to steal food. Seriously, if you need beaver labor, please go to Moon Bay to hire them."

If he didn't say it, maybe 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-lying crops and clearing canals.

Many times, the farm is unable to hire too many beavers, and many beavers begin to fight for the opportunity to be hired. After being injured, the staff of the Elf Employment Agency often come to the farm to issue tickets.

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 aggressive beavers to help them go to other farms to work, that is, to work illegally.

There really is no other way. Although these little guys are intelligent creatures, they have limited brains. 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 him trouble.

This kind of thing was originally forbidden, and it was suspected of trafficking the original monsters of the main world, but what else could he do? If he had known that the expansion of the farm would squeeze out the foraging spots of the beavers, he would not expand in that direction. Well, now if he doesn't help them find a solution, he will suffer.

Just thinking about it put Conrad into another dilemma.

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

Qiao Xi recalled the news that 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 will obey your command. If there is a chance, I will let the beavers on the farm recruit new beaver workers. Thank you in advance, Farmer Conrad." Josh nodded and said with a smile.

"When the time comes, we can let Silla take them to select strong beavers. She knows more about these 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 for fishing. Apart from that, you have no other development on it?" Conrad looked 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 Glimmer Lake." Josh smiled embarrassedly.

"What a pity," Conrad sighed.

"You know, besides magical beasts, there are some small animals with attribute energy but no intelligence, such as dough fish. They are not magical beasts and are not restricted by relevant regulations. They are also expensive. At the same time, they can be processed into high-quality attribute food and they are not difficult to sell. You don't have time to manage this big lake, so you can breed some attribute fish that are not troublesome, and then introduce some beavers from Moon Bay to help you manage them. You just need to take the time to patrol them from time to time, and you will reap countless wealth in the fall."

"Besides, with just these few small boats, most of the fish they can catch are ordinary fish. Why waste our efforts 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 the 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 she can get a share of the money. A little less is better. It's acceptable for now.

Besides, if we introduce too many beaver laborers and fail to raise the fish well, and end up with only a bunch of beavers 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 seems that he was still not moved enough.

"There are so many kinds of magic fruit trees on the farm, and flowering and pollination are huge projects. Do you have any good contacts with beekeepers or butterfly breeders? Don't forget to take care of them when the flowering season comes." Conrad changed the subject and gave a few suggestions.

"There are bee monsters on the farm, so you don't have to worry about that." Josh explained.

"Oh, Silla didn't tell me this." Conrad became interested when he heard about the honey monster.
