Kapitel 942: Chapter 394 War and Grain Trade

```

Gathering the barbarian tribes was a mere trifle for Great Chu.

A mere 1.3 million barbarians, with a population even smaller than that of any random prefecture in Great Chu, made their settlement an incredibly simple matter.

It was now the twenty-fifth year of the Shenwu era, and it had been a full thirteen years since Lu Yuan unified Yangzhou and declared himself emperor.

The thirteen years of peace had allowed Great Chu to completely shake off the chaos of the past, not only increasing the population tremendously, but also enriching the treasury and grain reserves.

With deeper development of the local areas, countless specialties and goods emerged one after another.

According to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Household, by this autumn, the registered population of the ten prefectures directly governed by Chu had exceeded 45 million people.
