The flat-bottomed boat sailed into the blood lotus bush, and saw that these blood lotus grow quite strong, with their stems and leaves on the water surface very tall and wide. When the boat walked there, it felt like it was covering the sky and the sun.

The bright red lotus flowers grow on the stems and leaves, like lanterns.

A barbarians moored the boat to the side of the lotus field rowing for them, and occasionally held machetes and jumped down the water. After a moment, they hugged the lotus roots as thick as human thighs and came onto the boat. The lotus roots were huge, and three or four of them could occupy the entire cabin. Then the barbarians felt enough and drove the boat to the shore to sell.

"Jinyuan distributed the blood lotus lotus fields on the sea to the barbarian fishermen and interested parties to plant them, and gave them wages every month. This wages were more than ten times higher than the money they had earned from fishing and other business operations in the past. By the end of the year, they would also give them a bonus based on the harvest. Therefore, the barbarians worked very hard and hard in these lotus fields. In this way, at least 3,000 barbarians were lifted out of poverty because of this." Wang Muzhi pointed to the lotus field and introduced.

"This is very good." Jin Ling nodded, "I have said a long time ago that whether it is the barbarians or the Northern Jin people, since their land was included in the kingdom, they have been the people of the Northern Jin Kingdom. It is indeed a great merit for you to do this."

"The origin of this matter is that you, Young Master, Young Master, are the real merits." When Wang Muzhi said that, he finally called Jin Ling the young master.

"The improved blood lotus no longer swallows the flesh and blood of the creatures around it, but only absorbs nutrients from the water and the mud like ordinary plants. Underwater, they can also coexist with living creatures in the water, and underwater also become a paradise for fish, shrimp, crabs, shells, etc., with extremely rich output." He continued to introduce, "Most of the barbarian fishermen hold two positions, working for lotus fields and fishing in the marsh, killing two birds with one stone."

As he spoke, he shouted in barbarian language to the barbarian fishermen on a nearby fishing boat: "Nisodegu, take the big carp you just caught and show it to the young master!"

The barbarian fisherman agreed, propped up the boat, then bent down and picked up a big carp from the living water cabin next to the cabin. The big carp was half a human size, with a total of fifteen or sixteen kilograms. The shiny scales showed that it was very nutritious.

Wang Muzhi mentioned the fisherman to a wooden barrel on his flatbed, then took out a silver dollar and threw it to the fisherman, "Okay, you go."

The latter smiled and bowed to him, rowed the boat and left.

"This big carp, after we go to Caoyuanju Luze Inn on the water, and braised it for you to cook for the young master." Wang Muzhi said to Jin Ling, "It's very fresh! It's absolutely delicious! The young master is a famous foodie in the Northern Jin Kingdom. There is also another famous dish recently known as the Northern Jin Dynasty, called Manhu Blood Lotus, which uses fresh lotus roots produced here. In addition, two special Manhu water ducks, mud turtles, and Jinpaiqu wine collected by students, taste them together!"

"Oh?" Jin Ling laughed, "I haven't returned to Northern Jin for a while. I don't know that there are so many special dishes in the near Manze. By the way, what did you just say, Caoyuanju Luze Inn?"

"That's right." Wang Muzhi explained, "In this near barbarian marsh, there are also a few places with shallow water depths, but the knees are so high that the students came here and thought that these prescriptions could be used, so they asked people to transport mud and stone to compact the bottom and build a small island. On it, some houses were built for employees to rest and eat. Later, the Jinyuan headquarters learned that they sent craftsmen to build the Caoyuanju Inn, which provided sightseeing, accommodation and the special dishes just mentioned. The business was quite prosperous, and people from Northern Jin or other places came to this water inn to experience the freshness. The inn hired a large number of barbarian women, which also became another source of income for them."

"Very good, this is very good." Jin Ling was a little moved and suddenly remembered that world.

The principles of human beings pursuing a better life are always the same. Especially for people like Wang Muzhi, they can develop an industry with their own abilities and wisdom. In that world, this kind of thing is called poverty alleviation.

Very good, indeed very good.

After walking around the Lotus Field, I saw many barbarians busy in the Lotus Field, and everyone had an unconcealed smile on their faces.

"Although they are working hard, they look very happy." Jin Ling said with emotion.

"In fact, happiness lies in comparison." Wang Muzhi also said with great emotion, "I just told the young master that although the gains of these barbarians are lower than the general income of the Northern Jin Kingdom, they are at least ten times higher than their previous income. Compared with their previous life, they are very satisfied with the current situation, so they all work with a grateful heart."

"Indeed," said Jin Ling, "not only this lotus field, but also my trip to Loufang tribe, and even to the Port of Flata, I saw and heard. The civilized and cultural trend of the Northern Jin Kingdom has already blown to this ancient and desolate land, and has also brought new life to the barbarians here. Higher income and better lifestyles allow them to support the leaders who give them all this more than ever before."

"By the way, not only the barbarians, but also the Northern Jin people, but also the people from the empire and the entire Wangxian Continent, people have the same heart and the same reason. The 100 million people really don't ask for much, they are just food and clothing, and they should not be treated harshly."

Wang Muzhi bowed: "Young Master, Muzhi has written it down."

"Okay, go back and take Ye Xiao and the others to that water inn for lunch." Jin Ling's words ended the visit.

So the flatbed fell in a direction, drove to the hovercraft, and then headed towards the water inn. Jin Ling signaled the hovercraft to follow.

The two ships traveled about five or six miles in front and behind, and a large area of ​​paved lotus leaves gradually revealed the appearance of a building. The building was built with mudstone bottom and the upper part was made of tung wood, which had excellent waterproofing effect.

On the outermost water pavilion, there was a sign hanging with two lines of large characters on it.

Caoyuan Residence.

Green Sze Inn.

After passing the water pavilion, there was a pier in front of him, with about 17 or 18 ships of various types moored, and ships were also entering and leaving one after another.

Under the leadership of Wang Muzhi, the two ships were moored one after another by the dock, and the group got off the boat and followed him.

Jin Ling saw that the inn covers an area of ​​about three or four acres, like a small island. In addition to the wharf, there are dams built around it to prevent the impact caused by rising water. The island is indeed solidified with mud and stone, which is very stable. Walking on it is like walking on the flat ground.
