Chapter 544

With the flourishing development of Bohai Commandery, particularly the immense growth of New Tieshi City, the region has taken in nearly one million refugees in the month following the end of the Beast Tide. Of these, over 300,000 went to Lincang City, more than 500,000 arrived in New Tieshi City, and over 100,000 were diverted to Heze City. The total population of Bohai Commandery has surged from the 2.82 million recorded before the Beast Tide to 3.82 million. As this is within the Great Qin Empire, eighty percent of these million-plus people, who have suffered through the hardships of war, are impoverished civilians with nothing to their names. However, there is no lack of wealthy individuals among them with some assets who, influenced by the ravages of war, ultimately chose to come to Bohai Commandery. Everyone requires clothing, food, housing, and transportation. With the booming development of Bohai Commandery today, there is a particular need for high-end restaurants, and the upcoming auction has brought about a massive, temporary influx of people.
