Chapter 274: Xu Guokun's Sea

Nowadays, in the Great Chu Country, excluding the newly established Qianzhong County, there are three other provinces with seventeen prefectures, with a population of over 5.7 million people. Every year, some people inevitably violate the criminal law and are punished accordingly.

Even with the Great Chu currently on the rise, domestic resources are distributed relatively evenly, people live prosperous lives, local education is abundant, and this is still unavoidable.

According to the data reported by the Punishment Department in recent years, in the Great Chu's three provinces and seventeen prefectures, there are approximately 20,000 to 30,000 people convicted of crimes each year, ranging from minor to serious offences. The exact number varies within that range.

The ratio of criminals to the total population is about one in two or three hundred.

Well...

This is actually quite an impressive figure.
