List the population changes in Hanzhong and Huaihe

Take the data changes in the fifth year of Yonghe and the first year of Taikang in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Eastern Han Dynasty:

Hanzhong, household 57344; Xiapi, household 136389; Pengcheng, household 86170; Guangling, household 83907; Jiujiang, household 89436.

Early years of the Western Jin Dynasty:

Hanzhong, 15000 households; Xiapi, 7500 households; Pengcheng, 4500; Linhuai, 10000 households; Guangling, 8000 households.

In the past hundred years, only one out of ten households has survived in the Huaihe and Huaihe regions. This is a reflection of the population of the Huaihe River Basin during the Three Kingdoms period.

As for Hanzhong, I won’t say much about the consequences of Cao Cao’s relocation.
