"How many official fields in total in Huanzhou Province, Kangzhou Province, Ningzhou Province and Military Province?" Zhang Tie asked as he drank in the banquet hall.
"There are 13.8 billion mu official fields in the 4 provinces!"
"As many commoners and major clans have been evacuating from the 4 provinces since the second half of last year, isn't the farming of the official fields influenced?"
"Since demons started to invade us, one batch of people have been evacuated from the 4 provinces. Some fields indeed became deserted in the second half of last year. The land prices in the 4 provinces are also plummeting. However, all the official fields in the 4 provinces are taken over by border residents of Taixia Country. Those border residents don't have the right to migrate casually; therefore, the farming of official fields is not influenced!" Lu Yanyu answered fluently.
