Douluo's grass root Phoenix

"Um.".Zhou Yu saw Ma Hongjun test the poison on his body, but how dare he stand, so he quickly sat down and imitated Ma Hongjun and ate crayfish.

Not to mention, after eating one, there is no fishy smell that it exudes when it is alive.

"What? Do you think these insect pests will disappear after these ways of eating become popular?"At this time, Ma Hongjun gave up his desire to continue eating, wiped his hands, looked at Zhou Yu and asked with a smile.

"Yes, Yu pays homage to the lord. According to the agreement, from now on, Yu will look after His Highness as his only leader."Zhou Yu quickly wiped his hands, stood up and bowed.

"Please come quickly, I have Gong Jin to help me, just like the great ancestor had Han Xin, like a fish in water!"Ma Hongjun also acted extremely courteous and virtuous. When he stood up, he didn't care about the stool that fell because he was too excited. He quickly held Zhou Yu's shoulders and said.

He didn't expect to conquer Zhou Yu so easily. Originally, Ma Hongjun planned to deal with the insect plague first and then find a way to conquer him. He had made a lot of preparations for this, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"It is Yu's lifelong wish to help His Highness clear up the troubled times and relieve the troubles in foreign lands."Zhou Yu said movedly when he saw this.

Which minister doesn't want to be valued by the king? The reason why Zhou Yu assisted Sun Ce was because the two had a deep relationship, and he assisted Sun Quan firstly because of Sun Ce's last words, and secondly because Sun Quan valued him enough.

What's more, because intelligence forces are spread all over the world, if you investigate Sun Ce's death, you will find many doubts. It is very likely that it is an internal conflict within Sun Wu.

As for the entire Soochow, there is no doubt who was the biggest beneficiary at that time.

Ma Hongjun also used this opportunity to attack Soochow after Sun Ce's death. Soochow only lasted less than three years in Sun Quan's hands before being completely pacified.

In the past year since the founding of the Wu Han Dynasty, great development has been achieved in all aspects, and the people's lives are extremely prosperous. Every family has a surplus of food. If it were not for the insect plague, it would be even more prosperous.

In particular, the capital city of Jinling took advantage of Douluo's modern industrial technology and combined it with the craftsmanship inherited from China to build it into a world-famous city in just half a year.

How could such a heroic lord not make people yearn for him? Even someone as smart as Zhou Yu would not be immune to this.

"Come on, as the common people's parents, we must set an example and not waste food. Let's continue to sit down and eat. Oh, by the way, why not invite your wife and sister-in-law to come over and enjoy the delicious food."Suddenly he thought of the figures of Xiao Qiao busy outside the gate, and after calculating the time, he estimated that he hadn't eaten yet and couldn't help but suggest.

"Yes, Your Highness, please come and invite your wife and sister-in-law to come to the main hall for dinner."There was no hesitation on Zhou Yu's face, nor did he say anything about feudal thoughts.

Didn't you notice that Zhu Zhuqing was sitting and eating deliciously?

With Zhu Zhuqing's figure and beauty, he could tell whether he was a man or a woman no matter how he concealed it. As long as he was not stupid, he would not offend a princess, or even a future concubine, by saying that it was difficult for a woman to become a refined woman.

Ma Hongjun nodded with satisfaction. It was different from talking to smart people. He didn't have to worry about anything at all.

After a while, the two women changed their clothes and came to the main hall. After bowing slightly to Ma Hongjun, they came and sat down next to Zhou Yu.

The adventurous Xiao sniffed the aroma on the tip of his nose and couldn't help but ask:

"What kind of dish is this? It smells so delicious.".Xiao Qiao couldn't help but ask while looking at the crayfish on the table and Zhou Yu.

"Haha, this is crayfish made by His Highness himself. I came here just for you to try it. How do you like it?"Zhou Yu, who doted on his wife very much, laughed and explained.

"crayfish?".Xiao Qiao said that he had never heard of it. As for Ma Hongjun's identity, the servant had already given instructions when he came.

"Yes, it's what you call bugs. Do you dare to eat them?".Ma Hongjun peeled off a crayfish and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing, then looked at the two girls and teased.

"Hmph! If you don't dare, I'll try it too."As expected, Xiao Qiao couldn't stand the excitement. Seeing Zhu Zhuqing eating Zhengxiang beside him, he quickly picked up a crayfish and imitated Ma Hongjun, removing the shell from the shrimp, and couldn't wait to eat it.

Zhou Yu looked at Ma Hongjun apologetically, his eyes seeming to say, "Your Highness, please forgive me, my wife is not sensible."

Ma Hongjun didn't mean to blame him at all. He looked at Da Qiao who was silent and said warmly:

"Mrs. Sun, why don't you come and try the taste? Whether the insect plague can be truly solved depends on us trying the method and setting an example."

"Thank you, Your Highness.".As expected, Da Qiao also picked up a crayfish and started eating it.

The meat was delicious, tender and juicy. After a while, the five of them had eaten more than half of it, and they couldn't hold it anymore.

"Don't waste it. Pack these for me. I'll take them back to the inn for my two wives to taste."Ma Hongjun stood up and washed his hands in the basin prepared nearby.

He was still not used to the tone and habits of the ancients. Fortunately, many people came to the Douluo Realm more than three years ago, and no one was surprised by such words. On the contrary, it was very popular because the words were simple and easy to understand.

Only in extremely formal situations will he be verbose. In private, of course, he will speak in simple terms.

"His Royal Highness has really deep feelings for the three princesses.".Xiao Qiao said to Zhu Zhuqing with great envy.

After a meal, under Xiao Qiao's initiative to make friends, I got to know Zhu Zhuqing, the inarticulate man, a lot and became good friends.

Sometimes the communication between women is so simple, and they often feel like they've met each other too late before even saying a few words.

Especially in Ma Hongjun's previous life, he often started calling his wife after saying less than three sentences in online games.

Ma Hongjun rejected Zhou Yu's family's request to stay overnight and took Zhu Zhuqing back to the inn. When entering, he also used the temperature of the phoenix flame to heat the crayfish in the space soul guide.

Day two.

A large number of rice stalls were set up in front of the Zhou Mansion, specializing in distributing crayfish and steamed buns. The business was so popular that several women went over to help.

The servants of the Zhou Mansion were simply too busy.

At the same time, a big sign was erected, which read: Purchase lobsters for five copper soul coins per catty.

Equivalent to the modern purchasing power of five dollars.

Because of the preciousness and superiority of the Douluo gold coin system, almost all Han officials are taking back old copper coins in exchange for gold, silver, and copper soul coins.

The city was full of people, and almost everyone was bending over to catch lobsters on the ground. However, all the lobsters in the city were caught in half a day.

In the next few days, people began to spontaneously go outside the city. Rice fields, small villages, and any place where crayfish might be found were cleared away.

The power of foodies is endless. In just one week, there are almost no crayfish in the farmland. Even in the rice fields, there are not many left.

By this time, the plague of insects has been over. Almost everyone can cook crayfish and everyone likes to eat crayfish. Except for the occasional person or two who are allergic to lobster and cannot eat more, it has become a must-have for almost every household. of rations.

Some people from aristocratic families even discovered business opportunities and started artificially cultivating crayfish.

As long as the breeding is carried out according to the requirements, Ma Hongjun will not care too much, but will be happy to see the results.

After that, the Zhou family began to move, and Zhou Yu took the initiative to move the family's center of gravity to Jinling City.

The most important thing was to send his relatives to Jinling City and eliminate all Ma Hongjun's wariness. Ma Hongjun did not disappoint Zhou Yu. He took out the imperial edict and named Zhou Yu: Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. Then he can set off for Tongtianhai and lead Wu Han in total. Fifty thousand sailors.

You must know that in the Tongtian Sea, in addition to the three avenues leading directly to the Douluo Continent, there are also endless sea routes. The importance of the navy in the war is naturally self-evident.

Almost the lifeblood of a country, Zhou Yu also knew that he was good at water warfare. Wu Han did not lack naval generals but lacked naval commanders.

Today, two navy generals, Gan Ning and Jiang Qin, are responsible for guarding the left and right sides of Wu and Han's water defense line in Tongtian Sea.

Although the two of them were extremely aquatic and possessed maritime skills, they were still dwarfed by Douluo Continent's offensive of advanced soul guide warships and were under great pressure.
