Dingjing was once a city with a population of over a million, with rows of houses in the outer city.
However, since the fall of Dingjing, many houses in the outer city were burned down, and civilians were killed or captured. Those who remained in Dingjing later found ways to escape to Great Chu.
This resulted in Dingjing, with a population of a million, having only about 300,000 people left, and the city no longer retained its former prosperity; the entire outer city was a scene of ruin.
The Emperor, after seeing the memorial from the Duke Mansion, was even more determined to return to the Capital as soon as possible.
If the imperial court returns to the Capital, all officials will certainly return with it.
Some shrewd merchants will surely seize the opportunity to go to the Capital City.
And some civilians who escaped will also return.
