How many commoners are there on Red Cloud Mountain?

Before the relief effort, people were scattered across various peaks, living in cave dwellings akin to beehives. Everywhere you looked, all the small peaks were dotted with clusters of dark spots. There must have been more than a million.

Everyone could make such an easy estimate, but no one could define the exact number.

Xiling has one million six hundred thousand free people, so-called free people are the residents of Xiling who have homes. Those without houses are not free people, they are vagrants or migrant workers.

As recorded in Tang Clan’s Wind Media Department, the total number of free people was one million six hundred thousand, about over three hundred thousand households. As for how many vagrants, beggars, or newly arrived workers in Xiling, no one knew for sure.

Based on past experiences with natural disasters, even a flood of little magnitude has caused countless deaths among the civilians, let alone a catastrophic flood like the one happening today.

Natural disaster equals death, major natural disaster equals many deaths.

With this understanding, all the scholars, including Tang Luo, believed that if three-quarters of the one million six hundred thousand free people survived, it would be a monumental achievement.

However, in reality, on the Red Cloud Mountain range, besides a large number of free people, there were also countless unregistered vagrants. These wanderers, who live under the sky and on the land, adapt even better to natural disasters and the harsh conditions of Red Cloud Mountain than ordinary civilians.

The people of Xiling, who have long been accustomed to buying grain from the market, have forgotten how to forage for food in the wild. Besides simply chopping firewood to cook, they probably only retained the skills of fishing and hunting.

Two months of unrestrained floods, these vagrants, despite not having food, somehow found edible things from the strangest of places, maintaining a survival rate higher than ordinary civilians in Xiling.
