Outside the city, a temporary camp had been set up for the citizens of Zhenjiang City.
Tent after tent, each very rudimentary, lined up. From above, they looked like numerous small mounds scattered across the ground.
On an open space, a row of wooden tables was set up, with a bustling crowd of people forming neat lines in front of the tables, monitored by cultivators in charge of maintaining order.
After a few simple questions from the cultivators, everyone received a small wooden token.
This was an initiative by Great Xia, where the cultivators organized the data, distinguishing those citizens who wished to leave Zhenjiang for other prefectures from those who wanted to stay.
Only the cultivators, with their strength alone, could maintain order among such a large gathering of ordinary people without chaos ensuing.
Reverence for the cultivators was deeply ingrained in the blood of the common folk.
