At the end of summer, the construction of the fifth city of the dragon tribe was completed, and Su Yan gave the name "Bin", Bincheng, and the city lord presided over the construction of Bincheng.

When the construction of Bincheng was about to be completed, Su Yan ordered Lu Yue, the minister of Zhucheng Household, to replace Tu Shen as the lord of Chicheng City, and Tu Shen rushed to the south bank of the Yellow River with his people, and selected a site located on the land route west of Yangcheng to prepare for the construction of the sixth city of the Dragon Tribe, and at the same time, the second "shipyard" of the Dragon Tribe would be built near the sixth city.

The sixth city, the seventh city, the eighth city, the ninth city.

According to Su Yan's plan, one city a year, ten arrows in five years at the latest, when the ninth city is completed, it will be the day of the founding of the Dragon Tribe, the ninth city is the national capital, and the ninth city will also be the tallest and widest city among all the cities, which can accommodate more clansmen.

Nine cities, the population of the Dragon Tribe should be around 50,000 at that time, and if you add servants and slaves, it will definitely greatly exceed this number.

The population of this era is so small, with a population of 50,000 to build a country, crisscrossing the Yellow River Valley, is already a good result.

The most important thing that Su Yan considered was the country's calendar.

The lunar calendar is Su Yan's goal, relying on the 24 solar terms of "Beginning of Spring, Rain, Sting, Spring Equinox, Qingming, Guyu, Lixia, Xiaoman, Mangzhong, Summer Solstice, Xiaoxia, Great Heat, Beginning of Autumn, Summer, White Dew, Autumn Equinox, Cold Dew, Frost Fall, Beginning of Winter, Light Snow, Heavy Snow, Winter Solstice, Small Cold, Great Cold", and then according to the climate and environmental changes of the region and era where the Dragon Tribe is located, compile an applicable calendar.

The compilation of the calendar was the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, and Su Yan would personally participate in it.

The seventeenth year of the establishment of the Dragon Tribe, which can also be regarded as the busiest year of the Dragon Tribe, the education reform, the establishment of the three major academies, the dispersal of livestock to each household, the construction of the fifth city, the establishment of all six departments in the plan, the preparation of the new three, and the most important foreign trade, but the most important foreign conquest in previous years was not carried out in this year.

Foreign trade has become the most important thing for the Dragon Tribe at the moment, opening up trade routes, trying to contact its other tribes to trade, and in a year, the number of tribes that have traded with the Dragon Tribe has reached about twenty.

The Aoki Tribe, the Big-eared Monkey Tribe, the Horned Deer Tribe, the Leopard Tribe, the Japanese Tribe Camp (eight tribes in total), the Pegasus Tribe, the Yan Tribe, and so on.

Limited by the number of Type A ships and their sailing speed, the number of tribes that the Dragon Tribe can contact with is at most thirty, and Su Yan has already planned to build new shipyards and build larger and faster ships, which can allow the Dragon Tribe's ships to sail farther and reach more tribes.

However, with only thirty or twenty tribes, trading with them will also bring huge gains to the dragon tribe.

Population, hides, horses, cattle, new crops, these are all needed by the dragon tribe.

Through external warfare, the dragon tribe can also get what they need, but no matter how strong the dragon tribe is, there will still be casualties among the dragon tribe in the war, and it is better to avoid the war or avoid it.

There are also a lot of troublesome things about waging war at the same time.

For example, waging a war to destroy the tribe captured a large number of captives, these captives have a grudge against the dragon tribe, and most of the men can only be used as slaves.

As for the population traded with other tribes, they don't have much enmity with the dragon tribe, and even they should be grateful to the dragon tribe for saving them, it only takes a maximum of three years for the population obtained from the trade to be integrated into the dragon tribe, and all those who can't be integrated are reduced to slaves.

Another example is to wage war on the grassland, the dragon tribe needs the cattle and horses of the nomadic tribe, and the destruction of the nomadic tribe can indeed obtain a large number of cattle and horses, but the nomadic tribe can run, and it is difficult for the dragon tribe that has not yet formed a cavalry system to catch up with the nomadic tribe that wants to run, and even a sufficient number of cavalry will bring a lot of damage to the dragon tribe.

Through foreign trade, the dragon tribe has a relatively low value of things from other tribes in exchange for what the dragon tribe needs, often this is a win-win ending, from the Aoki tribe, the Japanese tribe camp, the Yan tribe can see the huge benefits of trading with the dragon tribe, and the dragon tribe can obtain population, animal skins, and crops from these three.

Obtaining population is the most important point of the dragon tribe's foreign trade, followed by obtaining cattle and horses from the nomadic tribe, and the dragon tribe tried to contact and trade with three nomadic tribes during the three steppe trips.

White salt, copper knives, peppercorn powder, pottery, these four are the most popular commodities of the three nomadic tribes, every time they pass by the nomadic tribe, the nomadic tribe will trade, the Pegasus tribe has already traded three times, and the dragon tribe has traded with the three nomadic tribes a total of six times.

Six transactions, the Dragon Tribe's harvest is very large, more than 100 horses, more than 50 cows, and eight herders who were originally slaves of the nomadic tribe, they have all become first-class servants of the Dragon Tribe, and by the end of next year at the latest, they will become Dragon Tribesmen.

The nomadic tribes are still most likely to have hides, but live cows and horses are more important than skins, and when they can't exchange more cows and horses in the future, they will turn to hides.

Although there are many cattle, horses and sheep in the nomadic tribe, there will be no upper limit on the trade of cattle and horses, after all, these are the food of the nomadic tribe, and the quantity cannot be less than a certain number, and sustainable development is what the nomadic tribe needs.

With more than 100 large horses, although the Dragon Tribe has not yet formed a cavalry unit, Su Yan has sent a hundred adult clansmen (half male and half female) to follow eight first-class servants to learn to control horses.

Driving a horse can actually be divided into two types, one is riding a horse and the other is driving a carriage.

The nomadic tribe can be said to have grown up on horseback, and riding a horse is a familiar thing, while the dragon tribesmen have just come into contact with horses, and it is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to learn to control horses quickly.

At this time, Su Yan ordered the clansmen to make a set of four harnesses, including a saddle, stirrups, a horse's chew, and a bridle.

A saddle, a seat made of a leather-covered wooden frame, stuffed with soft stuff, shaped to fit the rider's hips, raised front and back.

Stirrups, a pair of pedals hung on both sides of the saddle, for the horse rider to use to step on the horse when riding and riding, the role of the stirrup is not only to help people get on the horse, but also to support the rider's feet when riding, so as to maximize the advantages of riding, and at the same time can effectively protect the safety of the rider.

The horse chew and the reins are combined, as soon as the rider pulls the reins, the horse chew is pulled into the horse's mouth, and the rider controls the horse's speed or stops the horse. (https:)
