When Su Yan returns to the Dragon Tribe, the second month of spring will come to an end, and the exploration team will continue to carry out the exploration mission after resting for a few days, and at the same time, the exploration team will continue to explore the situation of the unknown tribe in preparation for moving next year.

Su Yan had already determined the usefulness of fishing nets woven with hemp rope, and when he returned to the tribe, he gathered more than 20 women and taught them the art of weaving fishing nets.

Women's strength is not as good as men's, but women are more skilled than men, and almost all of the labor such as weaving straw ropes, straw sandals, rattan baskets, and rattan shields is done by women, and men are mainly manual work such as hunting, burning bricks and building houses.

The specifications of the fishing nets have been set by Su Yan, mainly fishing nets with a diameter of five to six meters, and fishing nets with a diameter of more than six meters are also woven in small quantities.

Hand throwing fishing nets, for beginners, the smaller the fishing net, the easier it is to control, but the smaller the fishing net, the fewer fish can be caught each time, and the diameter of the five meters of fishing nets is of moderate size, the difficulty of getting started is also moderate, and the future will be based on the preparation of larger diameter fishing nets, and now it is better to weave fishing nets with a diameter of five meters.

After weaving a few more fishing nets, Su Yan will also take some of his clansmen to practice the technique of hand-throwing fishing nets, so as to ensure that the dragon tribe can get enough food from the big river after moving next year, and hunting alone cannot meet the food needs of the dragon tribe.

During the third month of spring, the expedition team made two expeditions to the vicinity of the Great River, but still did not find a suitable location to establish a new home, and during these two expeditions, the expedition team approached the unknown tribe several times in order to obtain more information about the tribe.

One of the expedition teams also confronted the hunting team of this tribe, the number of hunting teams of this tribe was not large, only about thirty people, plus the adult males of the left-behind tribe, the number of adult males of this tribe was indeed about forty, which was about the same as Su Yan's estimate.

For a tribe, the adult male tribesmen are the main fighting force, adult women can only be regarded as half of the combat power, minors and pregnant women are half or one-third of the combat power, on the whole, the combat power of the dragon tribe is more than three times that of this tribe, the strength difference between the two tribes is huge, and the dragon tribe has an overwhelming advantage.

Spring has ended, the rainy season has arrived, this year the dragon tribe has no time to send exploration teams to the area near the big river to find a suitable place as a new home, and as the population of the dragon tribe increases, it is necessary to move next year, and the area where the dragon tribe now lives can no longer provide more food for the dragon tribe.

Su Yan summoned the top brass of the Dragon Tribe and announced to them the final plan for the Dragon Tribe's move: start moving early next spring, conquer the tribe they found, use the tribe's residence as the new home of the Dragon Tribe, and build enough houses before the rainy season arrives......

In the summer, whenever the weather is fine, Su Yan will gather the adult male clansmen of the Dragon Tribe to train together, and there are three main training items:

The first is the cooperation between the clansmen during the battle, there are more people in the dragon tribe, and a group of two or three people can deal with an enemy, which can effectively reduce their own battle losses;

The second is tactics, groping forward, encircling and splitting, charging and breaking through, etc., and the flexible use of tactics can also effectively reduce your own battle losses.

The third is to train the use of weapons, weapons are mainly spears and short spears, spears are used in close combat, short spears are thrown from a distance, and defensive equipment rattan shields are also indispensable.

There are no tactics in the battle between primitive people, maybe they can figure out some simple tactics, but they can't compare with the knowledge in Su Yan's mind, of course, Su Yan is also half a bottle of water, but it is enough.

In addition, the female clansmen of the dragon tribe sometimes participate in training, and the male clansmen are the main force in battle, and the female clansmen also participate in the battle when necessary.

In the rainy weather and the training of the tribesmen, the summer passed quickly, and the autumn came, and the training of the tribesmen was temporarily suspended, and it was time to train a little in the winter when the weather was fine, and now it was time to gather food for the winter.

After another period of time, the wild peppercorns in the jungle and the hemp planted by Su Yan also matured, and Su Yan led the guards to pick the wild peppercorns first, and then harvest the hemp.

This year's hemp planting area is very large, nearly 20 acres of land, and the final harvest of hemp seeds weighs more than 1,000 catties.

A thousand catties of hemp seeds seems to be a lot, but a thousand catties is not much for the amount of food of primitive people, taking an ordinary adult male of the Dragon Tribe as an example, it is expected that he will have to eat five catties of hemp seeds a day to maintain physical exertion, then a thousand catties of hemp seeds is enough for one person to eat for two hundred days, or six people for a month.

If it is replaced by Dali and Biao, they can eat at least a dozen catties of hemp seeds a day, and the greater the strength, the more they will eat, in the same way, the primitive manpower is larger than that of modern people, and the food they eat every day will be more than that of modern people.

Su Yan now planted an acre of hemp seeds about 60 catties of hemp, assuming that the dragon tribe has 800 people, adults and children consume an average of 4 catties of hemp seeds a day, if hemp seeds are the staple food, the dragon tribe needs to consume more than 1 million catties of hemp seeds a year, equivalent to 580 tons, need to plant nearly 20,000 acres of hemp, an average of one person needs to plant 25 acres of land, this is obviously unrealistic.

Fortunately, Su Yan did not expect hemp seeds to be the staple food of the clansmen, and Su Yan paid more attention to another product of hemp - hemp fiber.

Bundles of hemp skins are soaked in water, and after seven or eight days, a trace of hemp fibers is separated, and then the hemp fibers are kneaded into a thin strand of hemp rope.

Autumn is coming to winter, and although the weather is cold, the dragon tribe has entered the final preparations before moving.

In each house, the women gathered around the stove and carried nets woven with twine, both fishing nets and large hunting nets, which had been abandoned.

When the weather is nice, all the men and most of the women come to the open space outside the house for a short training, which can be tiring in winter, and proper training will keep the people fighting.

Often at this time, Su Yan, Xiaohua, and Xiaoyue will also practice martial arts or literary boxing on the side, and the martial artist is diligent in martial arts, even if it is windy, rainy, icy and snowy, he must insist on practicing martial arts every day, but Su Yan, Xiaohua, and Xiaoyue's bodies have not yet fully grown, and there is no need to insist on practicing martial arts every day.

When staying in the house, Su Yan will also slowly sketch out in his mind the things after moving, conquering the unknown tribe, the construction of a new home, the cultivation of hemp in the New Year, etc., these things need to be done by Su Yan, and the other high-level leaders of the Dragon Tribe can't help Su Yan in a short time, they are only suitable to follow Su Yan's orders as executors.
