With the lessons of the past, Xia Chuan doesn’t dare to be careless about large-scale population migration. In fact, if it weren’t for being cautious, the consolidation against the Five Ape Mountain Camp could have been much faster.
As Xia Chuan was pondering, Yue Feng had already reached the end of his report.
Yue Feng closed the beast skin book in his hand, and on the cover of the beast skin book, the words "Chronicle of Great Xia" were strikingly engraved.
"Reporting to the Lord Minister, Yuwen Sizheng has already set out at night. Without any surprises, the 1821 people from Zhuhe Camp will also come over tonight. Calculating this way, the current total population of our camp is..."
Yue Feng had obviously already calculated it earlier, deliberately paused for a moment, glanced around at everyone present, and finally said loudly to Xia Chuan: "23,231 people!"
More than twenty people present all involuntarily gasped in unison.
Even Xia Chuan, who had been mentally prepared, couldn’t help but feel his emotions surge, a hint of excitement flashing through his eyes.
Over twenty-three thousand people.
This is the outcome of completely annexing the entire Five Ape Mountain Camp!
As for the current territory of Great Xia, regardless of it for the moment, just this size of the population alone is already more than double that of the former Mirror Immortal Camp.
Who would have thought that just over a year ago, Great Xia was still a small camp with less than two hundred people, always on the brink of destruction.
"Over twenty-three thousand people, the population standard for a village-level camp is only twenty thousand, does this mean we’ve reached it?"
After a long silence, Yuan Cheng, sitting below, couldn’t help but speak.
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but start to look moved.
The camp’s population scale over 500 is medium, 2500 is large, over 5000 is giant, and over 20000 is a veritable village-level camp.
Great Xia, unknowingly, has reached the population scale of a village-level camp!
"But although the population has reached it, the number of strong individuals is not enough. I once heard Leader Yuwen say that to become a true village-level camp, it must have three intermediate spiritual items to suppress and station, in order to achieve deterrence over deceitful monsters..."
Meng Yi recalled what Yuwen Hu had said during his lifetime, rose, and spoke, but before finishing, saw the Fiery Sun Tripod in the center of the main hall and immediately stopped.
The others, including Xia Chuan, also reacted, looking at the Fiery Sun Tripod in the middle of the hall with a look of excitement.
They don’t understand what spiritual items are.
But if it’s just to deter deceitful monsters, with this Fiery Sun Tripod, they don’t need any spiritual items.
"So, does this mean that from today we can claim to be Great Xia Village externally?"
Upon hearing Yuan Cheng’s words, everyone got excited.
Although Meng Yi frowned, thinking that his understanding of a village-level camp was all heard from Yuwen Hu and was thus half-baked, he did not speak again.
From the aspect of deterring deceitful monsters, Great Xia indeed has reached it.
It’s just unknown whether there are other standards for a true village-level camp besides this.
"Let’s not talk about this, as long as the strength steadily enhances, even if it’s not reached yet, it will be eventually. Qiu Peng, talk about the registration situation for the Camp Supply Department!"
Xia Chuan glanced at Meng Yi, noted it, but didn’t ask further, then turned to ask Qiu Peng beside him.
Qiu Peng was evidently prepared and took out a scroll of beast skin book, walked to the center of the main hall, and began reporting to Xia Chuan.
"During this period, the number of people joining the camp is too many, and there are breakthroughs every day, so we can only report the latest data. In addition, the roster of Zhuhe Camp has already been sent over in advance, so it is also included.
As of now, the total number of people registered with Contribution Value is 4113, of which 431 are in the Earth-digging Realm; 3712 are in the Logging Realm.
The number of reservists over six years old who have not broken through to the Logging Realm is a total of 15231; children under six years old number 3887.
These are the overall population figures for the camp currently!"
After speaking, Qiu Peng remembered something and immediately added:
"My lord, in this period, the number of reservists breaking through to the Logging Realm can exceed a hundred every day; those in the Logging Realm breaking through to the Earth-digging Realm average nearly ten a day, sometimes even twenty or thirty, so the data changes significantly every day."
Xia Chuan nodded, naturally aware of all this.
If he remembered correctly, the eleven medium-sized camps over at Five Ape Mountain combined had only 231 in the Earth-digging Realm. Prior to this, Great Xia had 110, and with the losses of Liu Zhuang and Tian Yu, only 108 were left. If it weren’t for continuous daily breakthroughs, the Earth-digging Realm count wouldn’t have reached 431.
Needless to say, with the environment gradually stabilizing, those in the Logging Realm have emerged continually like bamboo shoots after spring rain.
But it should be noted, the majority of those breaking through at present are mostly from the earlier group of over a thousand from Great Xia.
This makes sense as the Mirror Immortal Camp was incorporated only a month ago, and as for the Five Ape Mountain people, their incorporation happened only about a fortnight ago. The breakthrough wave for these folks would surely need some time to brew.
Although the Martial Arts Hall has powerful functions, it can only accommodate 200 people a day. Since the later newcomers didn’t have enough Contribution Value, it certainly meant that the Great Xia group received priority. Recently, as those from the Mirror Immortal Camp have started accumulating more Contribution Value, some are now able to enter.
As for the over ten thousand people who came in later from Five Ape Mountain, they can only spend some time in accumulating Contribution Value before they can go in for cultivation.
"Additionally, according to what you said, my lord, everyone’s registration has been meticulously categorized into booklets. Married, unmarried, family members, including orphans, all have been meticulously distinguished, forming complete rosters, all documented right here."
