The snowflakes are falling, the cold winter has arrived, and the Yan clansmen, who have only joined the Dragon Tribe for more than a month, feel a different kind of winter, staying in a warm and comfortable house, all the cold is blocked out.

When the weather is fine, the adults are either training or going out hunting, and when it is windy and snowy, other people will go to the Yan clan's family to teach the Yan clan to speak dragon language.

It doesn't matter if you don't know words, learning to speak dragon language is the most important thing, enjoy the good life of the dragon tribe, the Yan clan people are also working hard to learn dragon language, and try to make friends with other clansmen.

The Yan clan has just joined the Dragon Clan, and the city lord of Zhoucheng, Rabbit Shen, is very worried about the conflict between the Yan clan and other clansmen, but fortunately, everything is developing on the good side, which is what Rabbit Shen is most willing to see.

……

The eighteenth year of the Dragon Tribe is coming to an end, and looking back on this year, there are many changes in the Dragon Tribe.

Ox-drawn ploughs are used to quickly cultivate fields, horse-drawn carts are used to quickly transport goods and personnel in large quantities, and horses are quickly transported to and from various places on land.

The sixth city, Chizhou City, was completed, the second shipyard was built, and a new clan, the Yan Clan, was added to the Dragon Tribe......

No matter what the changes are, it will be for the Dragon Tribe to develop in a good direction, and the Dragon Tribe will not stop moving forward, and there will be more things to do next year.

The two nomadic tribes that traded this year will move again next spring, and the first trading fleet will have to find new nomadic tribes to trade with.

It is a troublesome thing for the dragon tribe to look for the nomadic tribe every year, but it is impossible not to look for it, and the dragon tribe needs to get cattle and horses from the nomadic tribe.

With the current population of the Dragon Tribe alone, at least each family needs to have an adult cow or an adult horse, and the Dragon Tribe now only has more than 700 (adult) cattle and horses, which is even the herd of cattle obtained from the Ox tribe before.

Unless the Dragons themselves have enough cattle and horses, or the Dragons build a city on the grasslands, the search for nomadic tribes will continue every year.

This year, it is a huge harvest to let the Yan tribe join the dragon tribe in the form of a clan, directly increasing the total population of the dragon tribe by fifteen hundred, instead of being promoted from the servants little by little.

The Dragon Tribe has always been in a situation of adult labor shortage, and it is difficult to change it in a short period of time, unless multiple clans join the Dragon Tribe, but this kind of thing is difficult to do.

The Yan tribe was able to join the dragon tribe mainly because of the coriander, if there was no coriander, even if the Yan tribe would join the dragon tribe, I don't know if it would be a few years later.

However, with the Yan tribe as the beginning, you can publicize the matter of the Yan tribe to other tribes in the future, and I believe that those tribes will take the matter of "joining the dragon tribe" to heart and will carefully consider this matter.

Su Yan set a small goal for next year, let the two tribes join the dragon tribe in the form of clans, of course, this task will be handed over to the officials of the Ministry of Commerce to perform, and there will be a lot of rewards for completing the task, and there will be no punishment for not completing anything, after all, this kind of task is many times more difficult than the task of trying to contact and trade with strange tribes.

The sixth city has been built, and when the sixth city is being built, the seventh city has also begun to be built, Su Yan handed over the task of preparing for the seventh city to Snake Zhi, and the position of the lord of Yangcheng was handed over to Hu Nan, the head of the Yangcheng branch of the household department.

The seventh city is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, a day's journey west of Bencheng, while Zhoucheng is located halfway between the seventh city and Bincheng.

The seventh city, the eighth city, and the ninth city, there are only a few years left before the Dragon Tribe is founded, and Su Yan hopes that when the Dragon Tribe is founded, the Dragon Tribe will be able to meet its food needs by only cultivating its own fields and domesticated animals.

In the future, the cities of the dragon tribe will no longer be limited to the banks of the Yellow River or the banks of the Yellow River tributaries, but will also be established in inland areas, and the cities will be established on both sides of the Yellow River or on the banks of the tributaries of the Yellow River, mainly because they can fish from the river water for food.

Trading cattle and horses, inviting other tribes to join, building a new seventh city, and trading with other tribes are also relatively important things, but most tribes only trade with animal skins, and only a few tribes trade with population.

Only by expanding the scope of trade and finding more tribes to trade can we get more people, but unfortunately the number of A-type ships is limited, and the speed is limited, so it is impossible to expand the scope of trade too much, if the number of ships is larger, you can form a new fleet to sail farther distances.

Su Yan wrote down the matters one by one, feeling that his head was a little tired, ready to rest, his eyes turned to the other side of the fire kang, Pinghe played backgammon, Meihua and Eyue were his son's advisers, and Coriander knew a little bit about the rules of backgammon, and watched with interest on the side.

Looking at the two children, Su Yan thought of one more thing, the two children will be seven years old next year, and when they reach the age of going to school, this matter doesn't matter, just send it directly to the school, mainly let them have more contact with their peers, and in their free time, the Meihua Eyue sisters and even Su Yan will teach the two children more knowledge.

The two children's schooling is just a small problem, and the real problem is the future wife of the two children, that is, Su Yan's future daughter-in-law.

Needless to say, the aesthetic concept of Su Yan's family and even the aesthetic concept of the Dragon tribe people, anyway, Su Yan will not let his two sons marry those women with thick waists and strong legs when they become adults.

At the beginning, Su Yan's approach was to cultivate from a young age, and after the cultivation plan was over, Mei Blossom Eyue became Su Yan's wife, if it weren't for the special case of coriander, Su Yan would almost never marry another woman.

In this way, Ping He'an's wife also has to be cultivated from an early age, and an idea popped up in Su Yan's mind:

There are so many wives of the patriarchs of each clan of the Dragon Tribe, and almost all of them have daughters of the same age as Ping He'an, and each family chooses one as the future wife of the two children, which is considered a marriage.

Of course, except for the Yan patriarch, after all, Su Yan has already married coriander, and if Ping or An marries coriander's sister, then this generation will be messed up.

Ten clans, ten girls were all sent to the source city, and Ping He'an chose by himself, five per person, and the name was set first, and the seven-year-old child was already sensible.

Every day they go to school together, and in their free time, Mei Mei Eyue or Su Yan teach them more knowledge and martial arts, and they can get married when they become adults.

Su Yan gave Meihua Eyue a look, the two girls squeezed to Su Yan's side, the three of them discussed in a whisper, hearing their husband's thoughts, the two daughters' eyes lit up, the two daughters had also considered the matter of their daughter-in-law, and the husband's idea just solved this problem.

Ping Hean, who is playing chess seriously, doesn't know that his fate has been set by his parents.
