Chapter 70

The video on the Sky Screen continued to play: 【When Qin Shi Huang unified Huaxia, the population was nearly 40 million! During the transition from the Qin to the Han, the population dropped to 16.5 million, then grew to 60 million by the end of the Western Han. However, after the chaos of Wang Mang usurping the throne, the population plummeted once again to 30 million. By the late Eastern Han, the population surged past the 60 million mark. During the Three Kingdoms period, as various warlords vied for supremacy, another 60% of the population perished, leaving only 23 million. During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the population in the north was reduced by two-thirds. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the population of Huaxia was only 25 million, but it reached 80 million before the An Lushan Rebellion! Later, the Southern Song and the Jin Dynasty combined saw the population break through the 100 million mark once again! During the Yuan Dynasty, the northern population lost another 80%. In the Ming Dynasty, the population reached a peak of over 200 million! But following the transition from the Ming to the Qing, the population lost another 40%. The Qing Dynasty began with 70 million people and eventually grew to 400 million!】 In the Great Qin Plane, Qin Shi Huang’s eyes were filled with deep shock.
