According to the description of the deer, the beast domesticated by the wolf clan is a wolf, but it is a little different from the nature of the wolf, and the appearance has not changed much, but those wolves and the people of the wolf clan live together in a friendly way, and even children can play with wolves.

However, it is a bit bad to name "dog" or "dog", so Su Yan is still named after "wolf".

Limited by the problem of food, the wolf clan does not have many domesticated wolf dogs, and whenever the number of domesticated wolf dogs reaches a certain upper limit, the wolf clan will send some of the wolf dogs back to the mountains and forests.

It is said that dogs are man's best friend, taking care of the house, assisting in hunting, and even killing enemies on the battlefield, and when the wolf clan migrates to the dragon tribe, Su Yan will expand the wolf dog population as much as possible.

Black pigs, golden pheasants, sheep, deer, cows, horses, and dogs are about to join, and more and more animals are domesticated by the dragon tribe.

In the past three years, it is not only the rapid population growth, for example, the new wooden ships that Su Yan is concerned about have been built, and three have been completed and put into use.

The first large-scale wooden ship built by the Dragon Tribe was a type A boat, six zhang long and half wide, which could carry more than ten tons of cargo at a time, and could carry about 100 adults at a time, and could sail 100 miles a day.

The construction of A-type ships has not stopped, and the number of A-type ships of the Dragon Tribe has reached as many as 33, forming the first trade fleet and the second trade fleet to travel to and from various parts of the Yellow River, and can penetrate deep into some tributaries of the Yellow River.

The new wooden ship, named "Type B Ship", is eight zhang long and two zhang wide, and can carry about 30 tons of cargo at a time, and can sail 150 miles a day.

Comparing the two types of wooden ships, almost two A-type ships can be compared to a B-type ship, and the B-type ships are much faster than the A-type ships, for example, the grassland trade of the first trading fleet, a round trip lasts for a month, and if it is replaced by a fleet composed of all B-type ships, the time can even be shortened to twenty days.

However, the construction of the B-type ship took longer, a A-type ship began construction in the early spring, and the construction of the A-type ship was completed at least in the autumn, while the first B-type ship used up a year plus a spring and half a summer, and by the second and third B-boats, it took a year and a spring.

At present, the fourth and fifth B-type ships of the Dragon Tribe are under construction, and the three B-type ships that have been built will replace all the other A-type ships of the third trade fleet, and there are B-type ships, and the third trade fleet originally took two months to form a trip, but now it will be shortened to forty days at the earliest.

Dozens of wooden boats of the dragon tribe sailed on the Yellow River and its tributaries are not without accidents, the year before last, the first trading fleet completed the transaction and returned, a type A boat capsized, fortunately, the call for help was timely, only three tribesmen were swallowed up by the river.

Fortunately, it's just an inland river, and if you change to the unpredictable sea, you don't know how many ships and how many people you will lose every year.

After talking about the population and wooden boats, the next thing is the food needs of the dragon tribe, which is mainly in three aspects, farming, fishing, livestock, and hunting has always been ranked fourth, unchanged.

Needless to say, fishing was the main way for the dragon tribe to obtain food at the beginning, but with the increase in the population of the dragon tribe, the fishing efficiency has been unable to meet the dragon tribe's demand for food, and it is expected that in a few years, the status of domestic animals will be ranked ahead of fishing.

Because of the decrease in the number of wild animals in the jungle, domesticating domestic animals has become the main way for dragon tribes to exchange animal meat, and domestic animals are dispersed to every household, although it aggravates the problem of difficult management, but reduces the problem of large-scale infection of domestic animals after illness.

Each family has a dozen golden chickens, plus a pig or two sheep or two deer, and every two or three families have to raise a horse or a cow.

The proportion of animal meat obtained by hunting accounts for less than one-fifth of the animal meat eaten by the dragon tribe every year, and hunting is still a way to obtain food completely by luck, and domesticated domestic animals almost eat what they want.

However, the dragon tribe has not yet implemented private ownership, and the domestic animals raised by the dragon tribe belong to the tribe, and if you want to kill the domestic animals, you have to rely on the orders of the tribe, and only when you make meritorious contributions, you will reward the domestic animals.

In fact, domestication of domestic animals is closely related to farming, the roots, stems, leaves, and shells of crops can be used as food for domestic animals, and the larger the scale of crop cultivation, the more food for domestic animals, and there is no need to waste time going to the jungle to find food for domestic animals, and the scale of domesticated livestock can also be expanded.

In addition, the population of cattle and horses has expanded, and the use of cattle and horses to pull the plough will allow the dragon tribe to cultivate more farmland in a certain period of time, and after the autumn harvest, they can obtain more food, and they can also get more roots, stems, leaf shells, which are by-products of livestock food.

It doesn't matter if the number of pigs, sheep, chickens, and deer increases slowly, the number of cattle and horses can increase as much as possible, even if a large number of people are sent to the jungle every day to harvest food for cattle and horses.

In the past few years, the Dragon Tribe has always attached importance to the trade of the nomadic tribes of the steppe, and has obtained at least 800 cattle and horses per year on average, but compared to the number of adult male tribesmen of the Dragon Tribe, the number of cattle and horses raised by the Dragon Tribe is still lacking.

Expanding the area planted with crops is only one way to increase grain production, and the other way is to find and breed high-yielding seeds, and then expand the planting area of high-yielding seeds, and gradually phase out the low-yield crop seeds per mu.

Taking the three crops of millet, wheat, and soybeans mainly planted by the Dragon tribe as an example, last year, the highest yield per mu of millet exceeded 150 catties, and the average yield per mu was only close to 140 catties; The highest yield of wheat per mu is more than 130 catties, and the average yield per mu is only more than 120 catties; The highest yield of soybeans per mu is close to 140 catties, and the average yield per mu is more than 130 catties.

At present, in the dragon tribe, millet planting area is the largest, followed by wheat, soybeans in third place, you must know that the yield per mu of soybeans is higher than that of wheat, but the planting area is lower than that of wheat, the main use of soybeans is still to extract oil, make tofu, which has almost been removed from the staple food.

Pasta has become the favorite staple food of the Dragon tribesmen, noodles, serious diseases, dumplings, all kinds of pasta are included in the recipes of the Dragon tribesmen, if it is not for the difference between the yield per mu of wheat and the yield per mu of millet, the yield per mu of wheat will definitely exceed the yield per mu of millet.

Due to the expansion of cultivated land and the increase in the yield of crops per mu, over the past few years, the grain harvested by the dragon tribe has increased year after year, coupled with fishing, domesticating animals, and hunting, the dragon tribe will have a lot of food left every year.

Tall granaries were built in each city, and one after another was filled with grain, and it was necessary to continue to build granaries, and every year the old grain stored in the granaries would be eaten first, and the new grain would be loaded into the granaries.

As of the completion of Zhongjing, the grain stored in the granaries in the cities of the Dragon Tribe is enough for everyone in the Dragon Tribe to eat for more than half a year, and when the grain is harvested this year, it is expected that the grain stored in the granary will be enough for everyone in the Dragon Tribe to eat for a year.

No one can be sure whether there will be a natural disaster in the coming year that will cause a serious reduction in crop yields, and storing some food can effectively increase the dragon tribe's ability to resist natural disasters. ()
