Compared to Jizhou, the situation in Chongshan Town is much better.
As long as refugees enter Chongshan Town, they can have a full meal, and once the refugees reach the resettled village, they can receive three months of rations.
With food in hand, the work of accepting refugees in Chongshan Town becomes smoother.
By September, the number of refugees settled in Chongshan Town had exceeded 300,000.
The influx of a large number of refugees has also had a significant impact on Chongshan Town.
First of all, commodity prices have skyrocketed; food, cotton fabric, cooking oil, seasonings, tea, and almost all items have increased in price by 30 to 50 percent.
Even tea leaves have increased in price!
Naturally, refugees cannot afford to buy tea leaves, but it is not only the refugees who have come to Chongshan Town; many wealthy families have also fled here.
