When eating dinner, Su Yan thought of another problem, the hunting team must have a place to raise the beast when it comes back, the beast that has just been caught is very afraid of life, and it is very likely that there will be a hunger strike, so it is best to stay away from the crowd a little.

After thinking about it, Su Yan decided to build several larger animal pens with bricks in the place where the wall was attached to the outside of the southern wall, which was used to raise the captured beasts.

The matter of building the animal pen will have to be postponed tomorrow, and the fishing team will not be able to divide the manpower to build the animal circle after the fishing team has caught the fish in the morning.

The matter of the beast circle reminded Su Yan of the situation of the Dragon Tribe's residence, now the total population of the Dragon Tribe's is more than three hundred and fifty people, and with the increase in population, the residence will also become crowded, maybe when should the scope of the residence be expanded.

However, it is not a small project to expand the scope of the settlement, now the dragon tribe settlement is surrounded by high brick walls, there are brick walls, which can effectively resist the invasion of wild beasts and other primitive people, if you want to expand the scope of the settlement, you must build a new wall, the scale of the new wall is undoubtedly much larger than the scale of the old wall.

"There's still a shortage of people." Su Yan sighed helplessly.

The next day, the hunting party set off with a new special weapon, the Net, and today the hunting party has a very important task - to capture wild beasts.

After Su Yan's explanation, Zhi and Biao both understood the benefits of capturing beasts and domesticating beasts, if they could domesticate beasts, the tribe would not need to go out hunting to get a lot of meat in the future, which was very important to the dragon tribe.

It's just that it's not a simple matter to catch beasts, the hunting team has to rely on luck if they want to hunt beasts, and they have to rely on luck if they want to catch beasts.

Soon after the hunting party left the residence, Su Yan sent the two tasks of weaving nets and building a beast pen, and then left the residence under the protection of ten people and walked into the jungle near the residence of the dragon tribe.

Yesterday, Su Yan entered the jungle mainly to observe and search, and he didn't want to collect anything, but today he added the item of collecting herbs, and when he was observing and looking for crops and metal veins in the jungle, he collected some herbs by the way.

Soon, a day passed, and Su Yan still did not find any traces of crops and metal veins, but only collected some herbs and came back.

The hunting team also returned, and today the hunting team caught a lot of gains, and actually hunted a leopard, a roe deer and a few pheasants and hares.

Interestingly, this roe deer was originally the prey of a leopard, but the leopard was accidentally found and hunted by a hunting party, and the roe deer also became the prey of the hunting team.

Today's harvest of the hunting team is enough for everyone in the dragon tribe to get a piece of meat, but unfortunately the hunting team did not catch live prey and come back.

On the third day, neither the hunting team nor the exploration team led by Su Yan went out, and today the sky was full of dark clouds, and it should rain, so everyone did not go out, and the hunting team followed the fishing team to the small river to help the fishing team fish.

On the fourth day, the hunting team and the exploration team went out normally, and the hunting team had as many as five large nets in their hands, and there were originally more nets, but the hunting team could not use the nets well, so they could only slowly explore the use of the nets.

Just after noon, the hunting party actually returned, and the hunting team did not return empty-handed, they caught a half-large male deer and came back.

Halfway through the afternoon, the exploration team also returned, and Su Yan was a little silent when he looked at the deer caught by the hunting team.

In Su Yan's impression, pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese are commonly domesticated domestic animals, and deer should also be raised, but there are very few people.

Probably, the deer is not suitable as a large-scale domesticated domestic animal, but since a deer is caught, it is better to raise it and take a look, and it is really not possible to eat it directly.

So this half-sized male deer became the first guest of the animal circle, and Su Yan arranged for an adult female to cut the grass and feed the deer every day.

In the blink of an eye, the first month of spring had ended, and twenty days had passed since the sacrifice in early spring.

In these twenty days, the exploration team led by Su Yan still did not harvest much, did not find crops and metal veins, and only collected some herbs to come back, but herbs are also very important to the dragon tribe, and herbs are indispensable for curing diseases and saving people.

Compared with the exploration team, the harvest of the hunting team is more abundant, and the guests of several animal pens built outside the brick wall on the south side have increased a lot, in addition to the half-large male deer before, there are now three wild boars (not one family), one adult doe, one half-sized female roe deer, and four golden pheasants.

Originally, a rabbit was caught, but it was eaten that night, and the rabbit would make a hole, and maybe one day the rabbit would dig a hole and run, so it would be better to eat the rabbit.

The newly caught animals are more afraid of life and do not eat food, but after a few hungry meals they start to eat grass.

The dragon tribe has taken a big step towards domesticating the beast.

In the past twenty days, the Dragon Tribe has developed normally, but one thing has attracted the attention of the high-level leaders of the Dragon Tribe - more than thirty days have passed since spring, and the Deer Tribe has not come to trade with the Dragon Tribe once.

This is a very serious problem, the deer tribe has a very important salt for the dragon tribe, although the dragon tribe has also found some salt soil, which can be used to make refined salt, but compared with the impurity salt traded by the deer tribe, it undoubtedly takes more energy.

In the beginning, the frequency of trading between the deer tribe and the snake tribe was about once every ten days and half a month, and last year it has become once a month, is it that the deer tribe does not plan to trade with the snake tribe this year, or the deer tribe is in danger.

Between the importance of salt, the next day Zhi took a team of people to the Deer Tribe residence, and after arriving at the Deer Tribe residence, he did not find anything unusual, the Deer Witch personally received Zhi, and Zhi asked the Deer Witch about the transaction between the two tribes, and the Deer Witch told Zhi that he would take the salt to the Dragon Tribe to trade in a few days.

Zhi returned to the Dragon Tribe with good news, but Su Yan couldn't be happy, salt was too important to the Dragon Tribe, but unfortunately the Dragon Tribe had not been able to find a salt pan similar to the impurity salt traded by the Deer Tribe.

"Salt" and "Deer Tribe", Su Yan put these two words on the focus in his heart.

A person's life is too short, Su Yan doesn't want to take the Dragon Tribe to rely on his own population growth to develop slowly, that is too slow, it is estimated that when Su Yan dies, the total population of the Dragon Tribe will be difficult to reach 10,000.

At first, the snake tribe was too weak and could only develop rapidly through the slow fusion of the tribes, but now the dragon tribe has a certain strength, the number of adult males exceeds fifty, and the weapons have also been strengthened to a certain extent, and the dragon tribe that wants to be there can expand quickly by conquering other weak tribes.

Because of the salt matter, Su Yan has decided to treat the Deer Tribe as the first tribe to be conquered and annexed by the Dragon Tribe in the future.

[Domestication and breeding are different, feeding is simple, now the dragon tribe is doing dead breeding, but it is more troublesome to domesticate, such as domesticating wild boars into domestic pigs, domesticating wolves into dogs, it is impossible to achieve in a short time, but simple feeding can be done]
