Chapter 398 - 394 Wind and Rain City
"The Holy Dynasty is divided into the Imperial City, the Inner Ring Twelve Cities, and the Outer Ring Thirty-Six Cities, each named after the Twelve Domains to symbolize the inclusion of all peoples of the Twelve Domains. The names of the thirty-six cities in the Outer Ring each differ, such as Wind and Rain City, where we are now, as well as neighboring Liuhuo City, Purple Thunder City, White Jade City, and others."
Along the way, Zhao Yang continually introduced things to Gu Jinlai: "Unlike those Inner Ring cities established fifty or sixty years ago, Wind and Rain City only has a history of twenty years. Due to the constant influx of refugees from other regions, Wind and Rain City, which belongs to the Outer Ring, is ever-expanding. To date, the city’s population has already surpassed one hundred million."
"One hundred million?"
Gu Jinlai looked at Zhao Yang, "Wind and Rain City has one hundred million people?"
"Wind and Rain City is also divided into the Ancient City District, New City District, and the Outer City District. The Ancient City District is bordered by the original city walls of Wind and Rain City, with a population of about four million. The New City District is the newly expanded area of Wind and Rain City, with about twenty-six million, and the remaining nearly eighty million people reside in the Outer City District,"
Zhao Yang explained.
"A city of thirty million people!?"
Though not the initial one hundred million, in this society leaning towards ancient structures, a single city housing thirty million people.
It was truly unimaginable.
"Although we continually expand the city, imagining settling nearly eighty million people into a safe city without someone in the Outer City District planting crops is futile... the materials required by the Inner City simply cannot be supplied,"
