Chapter 301: 1/2 of the southbound fleet
[It is expected that everyone is bored with watching it, and the map will be changed soon]
At the beginning of the summer, Takejo was completely completed, but the construction of houses continued, and houses were also being built every year in Genjo and Akagi, with the ultimate goal of satisfying each family to have a house, rather than two families crammed into one house, which was so crowded.
Even some families have a large population, they are not high-level of the dragon tribe, and they cannot have a separate courtyard, so they can only build a lower house in their own yard to live in or place things.
Not counting the patriarchs, the Dragon Tribe now has 1,810 adult male clansmen, not counting the clansmen who have just reached adulthood this year and have not yet married, each adult male clansman represents a family, which means that the Dragon Tribe now has more than 1,800 families.
The construction of the bamboo city has been completed, and the nearly 14,000 people of the Dragon Tribe are almost evenly distributed among the three cities, and the more than 1,800 families are almost equally distributed among the three cities.
It has been five or six years since the completion of the source city, and two or three years since the completion of the red city, and a large number of houses are built in the two cities every year.
It should be noted that each house has been renovated, and the left and right rooms of each house are built with ondols, and even the newly built houses have ondols.
And the source city is still building houses, according to Su Yan's plan, a city of the size of the source city, a city will eventually accommodate about 10,000 people, but with the current situation of the dragon tribe, with the construction of the new city, it is very easy for the population of each city to reach 5,000 people.
In fact, the average population of a city is 5,000, and new cities will be built to move the population to the new city.
The source city has already reached the condition of one house per household, Akagi is still a little worse, and the newly built bamboo city is even worse, but as time passes, every family in the dragon tribe will have a house.
Zhucheng was initially completed, and houses will be built in batches in the future, but there is no need for too many people, thinking of the plan to go south next year, Su Yan sent a team to take two A-type ships to the south.
The captain is (snake) Jian, and the vice captain is Lu Shi, who once served as the leader of the Blood Tiger Tribe for a day, and the team is composed of four tuns, all of whom are adult male clansmen, all of whom are drawn from the reserves of the three cities.
In particular, the five adult male clansmen of the original Blood Tiger Tribe were added to it, after all, the Blood Tiger Tribe originally lived on the south bank of the Great River, and they knew a lot about the south bank of the Great River, just Lu Shi alone was not enough, people would inevitably make mistakes, and if they found a few more people, it would not be easy for mistakes to occur.
The fleet of two wooden boats will sail south along the river, and after entering the big river, sail westward, first go to the large river area corresponding to the original blood tiger tribe's residence, and if it is not necessary, it is not allowed to go ashore.
The number of the fleet is less than two hundred, and there are powerful tribes on the south bank of the Great River, and if there is a conflict accidentally, even if the team is stronger, it will cause losses if you are not careful.
The dragon tribe will officially go south next year, and there is no hurry to conflict with the tribes on the south bank of the river for the time being, don't forget that the first target of the dragon tribe is the cattle tribe, conquer the cattle tribe to get cattle, and the plow pulled by the ox can be much stronger than the human plow.
Therefore, the main task of the fleet is to find the specific location of the Niu tribe, and the Blood Tiger tribe has a general understanding of the location of the Niu tribe's residence, and now it is determined, and wait until next year, a fleet of five or six wooden boats will carry more than 400 people directly to the area where the Niu tribe is located to conquer the Niu tribe.
The training of ship-driving personnel began with the trial production of the third wooden boat, and by the time of the first A-type boat, there were already fixed ship-driving personnel, and the number of boat-driving personnel was still excessive.
After the appearance of the second A-boat and the third A-boat, the crew of the first A-type boat was directly divided into three, plus some novices, who were able to control three A-boats at the same time, and then sail on the river for a period of time, and it was no longer a problem to sail on the big river.
The most important thing is that the previous three A-boats were all fixed sails, but the shipbuilders have been trying to renovate them on Su Yan's orders, and when the new batch of A-boats has not yet been built, the sails that can turn have been designed, and the three A-boats have been renovated successively, and the transformation will be completed before the arrival of the third month of spring.
During the third month of spring and the first month of summer, three A-boats sailed on the rivers and had basically mastered the use of sails that could be turned, and could sail on sails even on headwind days, rather than with oars, which, of course, were slower.
With sufficient supplies, only a fleet of two A-boats set sail, aiming for the big river, this is the first time that the ships of the dragon tribe have set foot on the big river, fortunately, the A-boats are wide enough, and the water on the big river is turbulent, but it can't have much impact on the A-boats.
The two A-type boats went out, and only one A-type boat was left to go back and forth between the three cities, and Su Yan took a wooden boat to and from the three cities, and it was still a little slower to take the land route.
The first voyage of the fleet to the south was relatively smooth, departing early in the morning, and only a third of the time in the afternoon had passed before the fleet entered the great river.
Looking at the wide surface of the river, Lu Shi had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Once upon a time, the Blood Tiger Tribe traveled all the way south from the north, crossed the Great River to the south of the Great River, and for hundreds of years, the Blood Tiger Tribe had become one of the most powerful tribes in that region, but was defeated by the Niu Tribe and forced to return to the north bank of the Great River.
The Blood Tiger Tribe returned to the south bank of the Great River to accumulate strength and defeat the Niu Tribe, but they did not expect that a tribe more powerful than the Niu tribe appeared on the north bank of the Great River, and the Blood Tiger Tribe was completely destroyed.
He once served as the leader of the Blood Tiger Tribe for a day, but Lu Shi didn't have much feeling for the Blood Tiger Tribe anymore, and the Dragon Tribe, which had a better life, made Lu Shi slowly forget about the Blood Tiger Tribe, and now two years have passed, which is enough for Lu Shi to let go of most of the things of the Blood Tiger Tribe.
There is only one thing that Lu Shi can't let go, Lu Shi still remembers the women who were taken away by the Niu tribe, among those women are Lu Shi's spouses, daughters, and sisters, Lu Shi dreams of finding revenge on the Niu tribe and snatching them all back.
Fortunately, the Dragon Tribe is about to go south, and the powerful Dragon Tribe will be able to defeat the Niu Tribe, and Lu Shi's dream will be fulfilled by the Dragon Tribe.
"You must wait for me!"
