In the study of the General Mansion, Yang Chengye and Niu Zhuang sat together, looking at the grain tax collected this year.
"The autumn grain has already been fully stored, but our grain storage is still not much, only less than two hundred thousand shi!" Niu Zhuang rubbed his brow, feeling a headache.
Actually, the situation has alleviated quite a bit this year. Last year was the toughest when Zhou Lan merely settled thirty thousand refugees and emptied Chongshan Town.
Fortunately, after more than a year of recovery and rest, those thirty thousand refugees have already settled down.
Now, these one million refugees seem many, but in fact, many have been settled for over half a year.
They have passed through the hardest stage; though still impoverished, they can at least harvest some grain from the land.
But this is only the territory of the five provinces of Longyuan; Longyuan in total has thirteen provinces, besides Longyuan there are also Longxi and Longnan provinces.
