Chapter 122: One Year (Part I)

Hand-throwing fishing nets is also a technical job, if you want to throw out the fishing nets, you have to open them completely, as a novice, Su Yan obviously can't do it, but Su Yan has plenty of time to practice hand-throwing fishing nets and improve the fishing nets.

Autumn has passed in the busy, and the cold winter has arrived, and the people of the Rabbit Clan and the Mountain Clan have felt that winter can be so comfortable for the first time, and their sense of identity with the Dragon Tribe has deepened again.

In one year's time, the Rabbit Clan and the Mountain Clan can be regarded as completely integrated into the Dragon Tribe, and when the next year comes, the Dragon Tribe can annex new tribes to increase the population, but Su Yan does not have the idea of annexing other tribes in one or four years.

With the birth of another batch of newborns in the summer and autumn, the total population of the dragon tribe is close to 800 people, and if the dragon tribe continues to increase after annexing other tribes in a year or four, the dragon tribe may fall into a food crisis.

In addition, there are no tribes around the dragon tribe that can be conquered and annexed, and if you want to find a target, you have to go further, and there is no war when you annex the deer tribe, the rabbit tribe, and the mountain tribe, because these three tribes know the strength of the dragon tribe and know that the dragon tribe is not a vicious tribe, if the dragon tribe annexes a tribe that is not familiar with the dragon tribe, even if the dragon tribe has an overwhelming advantage, the possibility of war is greatly increased.

In the winter, Su Yan gave himself a vacation, and finally could have a good rest, for the rest of the year or three, Su Yan was busy for the Dragon Tribe, and there was not much time to really rest.

However, during the winter vacation, Su Yan will also think about plans for next year and even the year after.

In this way, time passed day by day, the ice and snow melted, and the spring of one or four years arrived, and on the third day after the arrival of spring, the dragon tribe held a grand sacrifice to the dragon god, celebrating the joining of the rabbit clan and the mountain clan into the dragon tribe, as well as the coming-of-age ceremony of eleven teenagers and thirteen maidens.

On the day of the sacrifice, the total population of the Dragon Tribe was 789 people, not counting Su Yan, Wu, Wu's disciples and patriarchs, there were 126 adult male tribesmen, 217 adult female tribesmen, 209 boys, 206 girls, and 15 elderly and sick people.

The day after the sacrifice ended, Su Yan summoned the Wu and Patriarch of the five clans and announced to them the important tasks that the Dragon Tribe needed to carry out this year.

The first and most important task, Su Yan told everyone that the Dragon Tribe was about to fall into a food crisis, and in order to be able to get more food, the Dragon Tribe would move next year and move to the vicinity of the big river discovered by the exploration team, there was a big river, and the Dragon Tribe would not need to worry about food for a long time.

Hearing that the king was going to move, everyone was only slightly surprised, they had already sensed that the tribe was going to move, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.

Moving is a very normal thing for everyone, the primitive tribe will move because of food, enemies and other problems, every time they will try to prepare in advance, as far as possible to choose a good new home location, there are sufficient food sources, and there is no trouble from the enemy, so that the sub-tribe can not move again for a long time after moving once, after all, moving once requires a big move, and a bad preparation will damage the strength of the tribe.

The moving task is a two-step process:

The first step, in the spring, Zhi Heshen led the exploration team to continue to explore the side of the discovery river, and find a suitable location for a new home as soon as possible, even if he did not find the location of his new home, Su Yan already had an alternative goal in his heart, if he could find a suitable location for his new home, then temporarily give up this alternative goal.

The second step, the preparation before moving, the dragon tribe must leave with a lot of items when moving, but there are some unimportant items to give up, animal skins, complete large pottery, some pottery bowls and plates, stone tools need to be taken away, captive animals need to be taken away, and totem poles need to be taken away......

If you take the slabs with you, it will take a lot of manpower, so it is better to write down all the knowledge recorded on the slate with animal skins, and if you want to do it later, you can re-engrave the knowledge on the slate.

By the way, there is also the most important food, after all, the distance is relatively long, you need to carry a lot of food, preferably pickled food, which is not easy to spoil.

If you think about it carefully, in fact, there are not many things that the dragon tribe needs to take with them when they move, and the fish cages that are originally important can be thrown away directly, and when they move to the area near the big river, they can use fishing nets to catch fish.

In addition, some rattan baskets were woven with rattan sticks, and when the time came, the things that needed to be taken away were loaded into the rattan baskets, and the tribesmen could carry them on their backs or with flat poles.

However, there are also pity, the dragon tribe spent many years to build such a large-scale settlement, but they have to give up, and I don't know how long it will take to rebuild a similar scale of residence, as for taking away all the adobe bricks that have been burned with great difficulty, forget it, the road is long and difficult to transport, it is better to move to a new home and re-fire a batch.

The first and second steps can be carried out at the same time, and Su Yan issued a task to the five patriarchs of Zhi, Biao, Yuan, Shen, and Song.

The first task is the moving task, which is the most important, and then there are tasks such as farming and weaving fishing nets, which will be taken care of by Su Yan, and the five patriarchs will be responsible for exploring, packing up the belongings, hunting and other tasks.

After the meeting, Su Yan summoned all the people of the Dragon Tribe, and announced to them the order that the Dragon Tribe's house would move next year.

After hearing the king's words, most of the people seemed at a loss, why should they move if they lived here well, had plenty of food, and had no foreign enemies.

Su Yan explained to all the clansmen the situation that the Dragon Tribe is facing now, as the population of the Dragon Tribe increases, the Dragon Tribe will fall into a food crisis and must move.

Hearing Wang's explanation, the clansmen were still reluctant to give up on this family, but they expressed their support for Wang's decision.

The dragon tribe's relocation plan has officially begun, and most of the clansmen will be involved.

This year, the task of building houses and walls is gone, Su Yan will take out the task of weaving fishing nets, after Su Yan himself tried to weave several times, Su Yan has woven almost qualified fishing nets, and the diameter of the fishing nets is getting bigger and bigger, and the largest one has exceeded five meters.

However, for the time being, she does not know the practicality of fishing nets, so Su Yan plans to follow the exploration team to Dahe in the second month of spring and try to catch fish with fishing nets.

On the third day after the end of the sacrifice, Su Yan officially taught the Xiaohua Xiaoyue sisters the martial arts and internal strength of the "Su Family Fist Method".
