章 473: Chapter 237: Dangerous Situations Looming_2

Previously, when Lu Yuan captured Jinguan City, he not only obtained Li Xiong's treasury, but also the city's census records.

According to the latest official statistics of Pseudo-Shu, as of last year, the population of Xichuan was approximately 1.3 million.

Now that it has gone through another war, and was once again plagued by Lu Yuan and Zhou People, tens or even hundreds of thousands must have died.

Afterward, he conscripted 100,000 soldiers, which was another significant loss.

Now, recruiting people from there, isn't that pushing the Xichuan province to a dead end?

After this battle, when Jihui and Qiao Kangquan take over Xichuan Province, they would probably have no choice but to trade territories, seeing the current situation there.

They might even beg Lu Yuan to make the exchange.

Otherwise, with this barren land and the responsibility of ruling over four to five hundred thousand people, even acquiring the title of king wouldn't be worth it, would it?
