Chapter 141: Thinking and Planning

It's snowing, this is the first snow in the winter of one or five years, outside the house, the white and flawless little snowflakes are falling from the sky one after another, like beautiful silver butterflies dancing, the snow, the bigger it falls, the snowflakes are flying all over the sky, like smoke but not smoke, like fog and not fog, as if the whole world is shrouded in the vast snow.

The door of the house was open, and sitting in the house, Su Yan looked at the snowflakes flying outside the house in a daze.

Fifteen years have passed, Su Yan has been in this world for fifteen years, accustomed to seeing life and death, witnessing the snake tribe turning into a dragon tribe from weak to strong, and also gaining family and friendship, Su Yan has completely integrated into this world.

Xiaohua Xiaoyue snuggled up to Su Yan on the left and right, her little head resting on Su Yan's shoulder, and she looked at the snowflakes flying outside the house like Su Yan, but their thoughts were more on Su Yan.

There are only three people living in this house, Su Yan, Xiaohua, and Xiaoyue, Su Yan's adoptive mother (snake) Ci lives in another house, and the relationship between Su Yan and Xiaohua Xiaoyue sisters has changed from brother and sister to husband and wife, and then lives in the same room with the adoptive mother, the adoptive mother may not feel anything, but Su Yan will be very embarrassed, and Xiaohua Xiaoyue will also be shy, so when the dragon tribe moves to a new house to build a new house, the four of them will be separated, although the house where they live is separated, but the family relationship will never change.

In the cold winter, animals such as bears, snakes, and hedgehogs hibernate, and even humans hide in the house because of the cold and do not want to go out, except for eating and "house activities" is sleeping.

No way, if it is a brick house with a stove in my hometown, the people of the Dragon Tribe can work close to the stove, and there is no way to build a stove in the small house where they live now, and the effect of this kind of house against the cold is not as good as that of a brick house, and it is impossible to work in winter.

Other clansmen can rest in the cold winter, as the leader of the dragon tribe's Wang Long tribe, Su Yan can't rest and won't rest, Su Yan needs to think about next year's matters.

Next year, the Dragon Tribe's tasks are two of the most important, the first is to plant, and the second is to build a new home.

There is vacant land in my hometown where I can grow hemp and millet, but this side is too far away from my hometown, and it takes eight days to travel back and forth, and my hometown does not continue to open up wasteland, so there is relatively little land available for planting.

In the late spring and early summer of this year, a few fires burned down the jungle from the dragon tribe to the big river, and a piece of land at least one kilometer long and one thousand meters wide was cleared out, except for the square area in the middle that was about two hundred meters long and left to build a new home, the other areas could be used for planting, with a total area of nearly 2,900 acres.

The crops to be planted are mainly millet, hemp, pepper, apples, peaches, pears and other fruit trees, the first three are the most important, and the various fruit trees are secondary.

For the planting of hemp and pepper, Su Yan has mastered a little planting method, not worried about planting failure, Su Yan is most worried about millet, the importance of millet is still on the hemp and pepper, once the dragon tribe can plant millet on a large scale, the dragon tribe with one foot into the era of farming will completely step into the era of farming.

Now there are many wild beasts in this land, and there are many fish in the river, but with the rapid increase in the number of people, one day the beasts on the land and the fish in the river will not be able to meet the food needs of human beings, and in the end only farming can meet them, and the population will increase, so it is good to plant more land.

And millet is the first crop that Su Yan found that can be planted on a large scale, and most of the millet harvested this year will be planted as seeds on more than one acre of land next year, and there will be careful care before the autumn harvest, waiting for harvest.

The remaining area where crops can be grown is divided into two parts, the inner ring and the outer ring, which are the same size, the inner ring is used to grow millet and hemp, and the outer ring is used to grow peppercorns and other fruit trees, and of course, the necessary roads are indispensable.

The construction of the new home is just as important as the cultivation of crops, and the new home covers an area of 120 acres of land, surrounded by tall walls on all sides, and the construction of the houses inside will also be planned.

The new home of the dragon tribe looks a bit like a small city, but the scale of this city is very small, and in Su Yan's heart, he does have the idea of building a city, the new home is only the foundation of the city, how can a city be called a city without 10,000 residents.

In the early days, the area of the new home was only one hundred and twenty acres, and the population was only a little over a thousand, and in the future, with the increase in the population of the dragon tribe, the new home will continue to expand outward, so all kinds of fruit trees should be planted in a farther area.

Next year, in addition to planting and building a new home, which are the two most important things, there will be two secondary things: domesticating animals and educating slaves.

Farming and animal husbandry are often two words that go hand in hand, farming does get a lot of food, but those foods are vegetarian, while animal husbandry gets meat, and meat can provide more energy to the body at the same weight.

Taking Su Yan himself as an example, Su Yan has to eat two catties of meat to be full at a meal, and if it is replaced by millet, I am afraid that he will need to eat at least eight catties or more to be full.

Among them, Su Yan's martial arts diet has increased a lot, and in the Dragon Tribe, the clansmen with relatively high force values such as Dali and Biao eat more than Su Yan's.

When the beasts on the earth quickly dwindled due to human capture, animal husbandry was the best choice for obtaining large quantities of meat.

The main domesticated animals of the dragon tribe are pigs, deer, pheasants, and sheep, among which the number of pheasants is the largest, and the number has exceeded 100, mainly because the number of chickens has skyrocketed after moving to a new home this year.

Now that the dragon tribe has moved to a new home, even if there is a new home to be built next year, the two places are not far apart, and it is time to domesticate various animals on a large scale.

Expanding the size of domesticated animals can rely on the animals themselves to breed or rely on hunting teams to go out to catch them, and the dragon tribe will not eat these domesticated animals for the time being, so there is enough time for them to expand in size.

In fact, Su Yan wanted to capture cattle for domestication, in the agricultural era, the role of cattle was difficult to replace, but there was no trace of cattle for the time being, and I don't know if there are cattle living in the jungle.

Educating slaves is the last more important thing, Su Yan can feel that the slaves have changed a lot in this year, if Su Yan tells them now, "You can leave", as long as there is no Monkey Witch and Monkey Tribe Leader to intervene, most of the slaves will choose to stay instead of choosing to leave.

There is still one year left next year, and it will take two years to educate the slaves and let them integrate into the dragon tribe, and there will be more matters for the dragon tribe next year, but by the time it comes to one or seven years, the dragon tribe will definitely start a new journey.
