Chapter 152: Think for the King
When the weather is clear, the ground is covered with a layer of snow three or four inches thick, and the children who have been holding back the house are the first to run out to play, they have snowball fights, push snowmen, and some children learn to fight in the snow with adults.
Adult male clansmen are also fighting, Su Yan took out a little pepper powder as a reward for the winner, adult male clansmen enthusiastically participated in the fighting competition, and ate food with pepper powder in the cold winter, what a "cool" word.
There are some people who are forbidden to participate in fighting competitions, mainly Dali, Biao and others, they are all recognized as strong in the dragon tribe, if they play, few people dare to play, but they don't need to participate in fighting competitions for a little pepper powder, every year when the pepper is harvested, Su Yan will give Wu, the patriarch and others pepper powder, they are not short of pepper powder.
However, Biao, who likes to fight, still pulls his strength to the side to fight, attracting many people to watch.
Su Yan, Xiaohua, and Xiaoyue were on the other side, and the three of them first fought a few times Wenquan and Wuquan, and then Su Yan practiced with Xiaohua Xiaoyue respectively, Su Yan didn't dare to let Xiaohua Xiaoyue practice, both of them were newcomers, if they couldn't control their strength, it would be easy to hurt each other, so they could only serve as their sparring partner.
"Hey", "Ha", "Hit"
On the snow, Su Yan and Xiaohua intersect with fists and feet, you come and go, in the eyes of onlooker Xiaoyue, this scene looks a little pleasing to the eye, but Zhi, Biao, Yuan and others don't have much feeling about Su Yan's martial arts, they prefer fists to the flesh, rather than Su Yan's dexterous way of attacking.
Su Yan didn't explain much to them, and when he became the strongest person in the Dragon Tribe, he would prove everything with facts, and he could also teach them the "Su Fist Method" when the time came.
In the battle of the primitive era, personal force is also a relatively important item, at least in the battle, the higher the force value, the greater the chance of survival, of course, the importance of tactics is above personal force, with the tactics set by Su Yan, the importance of personal force is reduced a lot.
Su Yan has determined that this year's winter is a cold winter, and the temperature is much lower than in normal years, and the children will freeze their little faces and hands red after playing outside for a while, and hurriedly run back to the house where they live and squat by the fire to keep warm.
Adults are more resistant to the cold, but they also don't like cold weather, so they move outside and return to the house when they feel cold, and it is better to stay in the house for indoor activities in the cold winter.
Su Yan Xiaohua Xiaoyue and the three of them returned to the house where they lived, the door was closed, and the house suddenly darkened, only the firewood still burning under the stove released some light and heat, the three of them did not enter the inner room to lie on the kang, but sat on the three adobe bricks covered with animal skin mats in front of the stove, Xiaohua Xiaoyue took out a thin hemp rope and turned the flower rope to pass the time, Su Yan took out a roll of animal skin that had been simply treated, and looked for a small black wooden stick from near the stove, and used the small wooden stick to write and draw on the animal skin.
Every winter, Su Yan has to think carefully about what the Dragon Tribe should do next year.
This year, the dragon tribe has mainly done four things, large-scale planting of crops, building new homes, increasing the scale of domesticated animals and educating slaves, as of winter, these four things have been completed, including domesticated animals, the scale of domesticated animals of the dragon tribe has expanded several times compared with the beginning of the year, the number of golden chickens exceeds 300, 21 big pigs, 13 small pigs, 8 big sheep, 15 small sheep, 37 big deer and 16 fawns.
If the dragon tribe is short of food, these domesticated animals alone can eat for a long time, but domesticating animals is also a bit troublesome, and usually have to prepare animal food, as the scale of domesticated animals expands, more and more time is spent on this, especially the food for animals to spend the winter.
There are a lot of things that the Dragon Tribe needs to do next year, and it is mainly in the spring, Su Yan wrote down what he thought of while thinking about it, so as to prevent omissions.
The first big thing that needs to be done next spring is to expand the size of the dragon tribe, that is, to go to other primitive tribes.
It is best to be able to make other primitive tribes submit, if they do not surrender, they will be completely wiped out, and all the primitive people captured will be reduced to slaves, and in a few years these slaves will become members of the dragon tribe.
The Dragon Tribe has a map of animal skins, which simply outlines the area from the Dragon Tribe's hometown to the Dragon Tribe's new home, and the map details each primitive tribe found by the Dragon Tribe, and other records such as water sources and special products.
The goal of the expedition is to choose nearby, first conquer the primitive tribe close to the dragon tribe, and then advance to the distance little by little, one of the points, the number of new slaves of the dragon tribe should not exceed one-fifth of the total population, if the number of slaves is too much, the dragon tribe can not take care of it, and it is easy to have accidents.
The second thing is to grow crops and domesticate animals.
The area of land that can be planted next year is only a little more than 1,400 mu, and two crops are mainly planted, millet and hemp.
Domesticated animals continue to grow in size, and the stems and leaves of millet are excellent fodder for livestock, and the dragon tribes do not need to spend much time collecting food for the animals to spend the winter in autumn.
The third thing is to open up the wasteland, although because the population of the dragon tribe cannot expand the crop planting area for the time being, but it can be opened up in advance, and with the increase in the population of the dragon tribe, the crop planting area can be increased at any time.
The fourth thing is to add a second wall to the Dragontribe.
The first wall of the dragon tribe is a brick wall, in order to make the dragon tribe safer, Su Yan plans to build a new wall in the jungle outside the dragon tribe's planting area, the east and south are rivers, only the north and west need to build a wall, this wall does not need to be built with adobe bricks, just use a net woven of hemp rope to block it, which can effectively prevent the beast from entering the dragon tribe's planting area.
And the speed of net weaving is very fast, now in the winter some tribesmen are weaving nets during the day, even after another wasteland, the need to use the net will not exceed three thousand meters, the total length of the net woven by the tribesmen in winter is absolutely enough.
With a second fence in place, minors of the Dragon Tribe can even move around the planting area.
The fifth thing is to weave linen.
Su Yan didn't have much knowledge of weaving linen in his mind, everything could only be explored by Su Yan himself, Su Yan was ready to spend most of his thinking time in the winter on this thing, and even Su Yan would use thin twine to try to weave linen.
Once the linen cloth can be produced, the linen will also appear, and the people of the Dragon Tribe no longer need to use plant leaves to cover their bodies in the summer.
