The ice on the surface of the river had just melted, and the city lords, ministers and sub-ministers of the various cities of the Dragon Tribe gathered in the source city, and Su Yan personally presided over the meeting to promulgate the major events to be carried out by the Dragon Tribe this year.

After the meeting was over, Su Yan was left with only the patriarchs of the current eleven clans of the Dragon Tribe.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my two sons are seven years old this year, and I want to make a marriage for my two sons first, and I also want to marry you."

"Haha, Wang, I have two daughters who are just seven years old this year, and they happen to be married to Wang's two sons." Hu Biao was the first to laugh and said.

"I am the only one in this matter, and I have a daughter who is the same age as the king's two sons." Xiong Han said the second.

The other patriarchs are not far behind, and they also have daughters of the same age, and the opportunity to marry the king cannot be snatched away by other patriarchs, only Yan Teng, the patriarch of Yan, can't interject because of language problems.

Before Su Yan could say his thoughts, Snake Zhi said directly: "Don't rob it, let's give out a daughter and let the king's two sons marry each other." ”

"Okay, that's a good idea." Rabbit Shen and other patriarchs echoed, only Hu Biao was a little unhappy, he had two daughters of the same age, isn't this just one for each person.

Hu Biao's unhappiness lasted for a short time, and the other patriarchs all had a daughter, and he could only follow the group.

In addition to Yan Teng, the other ten families have ten daughters, married to Su Yan's two sons, and Ping He'an has to marry five each, even if this kind of thing is put in ancient times, it is difficult for the father who wants to marry his daughter to agree to such a marriage, but it is a normal thing in the era of the Dragon Tribe, and the patriarchs are very happy to be able to marry the king.

The marriage is decided, the patriarchs first choose their daughters, and when the spring ploughing is over, they will bring them to the source city, first hold a family banquet, and set the name, and the daughters of the patriarchs will also stay in the source city in the future, live and study with Ping Hean, and officially get married when they become adults.

Now that the matter has been decided, after returning home, Su Yan directly told Ping Hean about the matter, and Ping Hean was immediately stunned.

"Father's ......"

"Uh-huh......!" Su Yan glared at Ping He'an, glaring back at the words from the mouths of the two sons, the majesty of being a father did not allow the two sons to resist, and he had to accept it with tears in his eyes.

The three daughters of Plum Blossom Eyue Coriander looked at the scene of "father training son", covering their mouths and snickering on the side.

……

It is now the nineteenth year after the establishment of the Dragon Tribe, and the new year has arrived, and the Dragon Tribe, which has been sleeping for a winter, has opened its eyes and attacked with all its strength again.

According to the summary of the household department, in one year, the population of the Dragon tribe increased sharply by more than 4,700 people, and the increase in population mainly came from three places, the first is the natural population growth of the Dragon tribe, the second is the addition of the Yan clan, and the third is the population traded from other tribes.

In the new year, there are 470 new adult male clansmen, 514 new adult female clansmen, plus the Yan clan and the clansmen promoted by servants, the adult male clansmen of the Dragon tribe have reached 3,693, the adult female clansmen have reached 7,955, and the total number of dragon tribe clansmen is 31,078.

In addition, there were 315 adult male servants, 53 adult female servants, and 781 juvenile servants, making a total of 1,149 servants, and the total number of slaves did not change much, and only more than 200 juvenile slaves reached the adult standard.

The total population of the Dragon Tribe has reached 34,499 people, and almost every day, several newborns are born in the Dragon Tribe.

According to Su Yan's standard, the population of a city of the Dragon Tribe should reach 5,000 people, and the part of more than 5,000 people will be moved to the new city after the construction of the new city is completed, and a city can accommodate 10,000 people, so that even if the population of the Dragon tribe suddenly increases, it can withstand it, and the existing six cities of the Dragon tribe can fully accommodate 60,000 people.

The city lords, ministers and sub-ministers are in place, Lu Yuan and Hu Biao are preparing for the first foreign trade of the year, the snake wisdom organization clan is about to go to the seventh city construction area, and other city lords are also preparing for spring ploughing, especially on the side of Zhoucheng.

There are more than 1,500 Yan clan people in Zhoucheng, and the Yan clan people who need to participate in farming do not know how to use the plow.

Zhoucheng Shipyard also has to start building A-type ships, and the scale of Zhoucheng Shipyard is larger than that of Yuancheng Shipyard, but the personnel of Zhoucheng Shipyard are not more than those of Yuancheng Shipyard, in fact, the personnel of Zhoucheng Shipyard are half of the personnel from Yuancheng Shipyard.

Originally, the Yuancheng shipyard took into account the situation of the new Zhoucheng shipyard, and the personnel has been in an overstaffing situation, after dividing half of the manpower, the two shipyards will be able to add one-third of the manpower, and the two shipyards will be able to complete the task of building three new A-type ships in a year, and the time will be a little slower than last year, after all, there are more new people.

By the fall of this year, the two shipyards will have up to six A-type ships built, and by next spring, the Dragons will be able to form a third trade fleet, with the first trade fleet to the west, the second trade fleet to the east, and the third trade fleet to open up new trade routes and try to contact more tribes for trade.

In fact, most of the people assigned to the Zhoucheng Shipyard by the Yuancheng Shipyard are the old people of the Yuancheng Shipyard, and the Yuancheng Shipyard is limited by the region, and can only build Type A ships in the future, and the scale cannot continue to expand much, and the Zhoucheng Shipyard will be the main force in the future.

This year, when Zhoucheng is building a boat, it will also allocate energy to sketch and design new ships, prepare materials, and try to build new ships after the arrival of next spring.

The seventh city has gathered nearly 1,000 adult clansmen, adult servants, and adult slaves, and hundreds more will be transported here in the future to participate in the construction of the seventh city.

Both the first and second trade fleets have already set sail with a large number of goods, especially the first trade fleet, the nomadic tribes will move after this transaction, and the first trade fleet can get a batch of cattle and horses, but the next time they come to the grassland, they will have to find new steppe tribes to trade.

Last year, New Year's gifts were given to various tribes, and this year there are also New Year's gifts, and at the same time, the Dragon Tribe once again sent an invitation to those tribes that were invited last year, inviting these tribes to come to the Dragon Tribe as guests, but this time the location of the guests will change, and it will be changed from Source City to Boat City.

The Yan clan is all in Zhoucheng, and they can inform the guests about the Yan clan, and at the same time, they can also talk about the things from the construction to the completion of Zhoucheng, and build a city (residence) of such a scale in one year, which is a manifestation of the strength of the Dragon Tribe.
