Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1188 - 662: The Value a Fish-Grass Can Create_3

"Fishing haul!" the Crown Princess began patiently explaining, "In this process, relatively inexpensive Styrak bushes convert even cheaper aquatic plants into high-priced fishing hauls, which is a process of creating gold. Everyone naturally benefits and earns their respective share."

"So that’s how it is." Handibur nodded in a somewhat understanding manner, "But I only know how to plant Styrak bushes, I have no idea how to process Styrak bushes with aquatic plants, let alone anything else..."

"This matter is not something one person can accomplish, Mr. Handibur. You just need to focus on what you do best. Summarize your years of experience in cultivating Styrak bushes into a simple guidebook, the kind that every ordinary farmer can understand immediately.

For instance, what type of soil is best for Styrak bushes, when is the optimal time to plant them, whether the soil needs to be loosened or ridged before planting, how often they need watering, whether they prefer drought or waterlogging, and how to deal with pest infestations.

At the same time, use the Styrak bushes you have to conduct extensive breeding and distribute the best varieties to farmers willing to plant them.

All you need to ensure is that the Styrak bushes planted by these farmers survive and produce abundantly. That’s a success. The rest will be handled by our professionals here." With these words, Gaven already treated Handibur as a partner.

This is the advantage of leveraging Crown Princess Tainalasta’s influence. If he had come alone, merely gaining Handibur’s trust and not being mistaken for a fraud would have been a challenging task. Valo’s description of him in the travel notes was rough, sharp, and humorous.

In the Komeer Kingdom, no one can refuse the goodwill from the Obysque Royal Family, especially people like Handibur who are at the bottom of society; it’s definitely an opportunity of a lifetime for him.

"The things Sir mentioned are actually quite simple because Styrak is a bush, very resilient and can adapt to any environment. But the key to cultivating quality Styrak bushes is water; they must be irrigated frequently. As long as this is ensured, the resulting Styrak bushes usually won’t be bad," Handibur shared his experience in planting Styrak bushes generously.

"But if you want to promote large-scale planting, I’m afraid it’s not as easy as you said. I have been in Hilpur Town for nearly twenty years now, teaching the residents here how to plant Styrak bushes for free, but to date, other than my three pieces of Styrak bush farmland, no one else is willing to plant them."

"That’s because you only taught them how to plant Styrak bushes, but didn’t help them open up sales channels. Next, it won’t be you actively teaching them but rather them seeking you out, even buying your Styrak bush planting techniques from you."

Gaven turned his head and instructed, "Grace, send a message back to the Conqueror Guild headquarters, let them send a caravan here to Komeer, to buy up as much Styrak bushes as they can at market price along all the trade routes, and transport them all back to the City of Faith."

Gaven had a very precise grasp of the mindset of the lower classes. Dealing with them by stating facts and reasoning might not be completely useless but at least it was very slow to take effect. The most effective method was real gold and silver.

As soon as they see money, they will figure out how to gather and sell Styrak bushes. When they realize that harvesting from the wild is far less efficient than large-scale cultivation which is more effective and profitable, coupled with proper guidance, a lot of farmers will throw themselves into this cultivation industry recklessly.

"Yes, sir." Grace responded respectfully, this former Efanso Venomous Snake had undergone a transformation. Compared to common folks, she still looked slightly gaunt, but the ominous aura was no longer so intense. She swapped her black Mage Robe for black Leather Armor, black leather pants, and draped a Shadow Cloak over herself, resembling more a Thief than a Necromancer, a standard outfit of the Black Wing Guild.

After passing several rigorous tasks (like going to the West Gate Black Market with a lot of money to buy diamonds as part of the evaluation), Grace had earned Gaven’s initial trust. Now being kept by his side handling some darker tasks, she was once influenced by a Demon’s subtle indoctrination for years, and although she still retained a spark of conscience, it wasn’t much. She was proficient in various underhanded methods and intricacies of gangs and unions, handling grey area matters adeptly.

Her shadow silently disappeared, evidently going back to convey the message. In no more than an hour, the Conqueror Caravan would initiate action. The capability for immediate message transmission is the most powerful competitive edge of this emergent caravan; they could initiate action while their rivals were still in the message passing phase, always seizing the bigger part of the market, thus naturally reaping the largest benefits.

Even in normal competitive business scenarios, the Conqueror Caravan could maintain an advantage, let alone that they are backed by the Conqueror Army, possessing many business opportunities that ordinary caravans do not have. It would be difficult for them not to develop— even if competing guilds also had Transcendent Casters assisting in transferring information, the Conqueror Caravan had an advantage of long-distance message transmission with zero costs."

Tainalasta clearly noticed something unusual about Grace, and stared deeply at her but did not make any move or sound.
