The territory population can actually be accessed with very detailed numbers in the Government Hall. Lin Rui clearly remembers that the last time he saw the data in the Government Hall, it was 18377/50000, meaning there are still thirty thousand people short of upgrading to a large town.
But there's a problem with this population data, which is that it doesn't show the breakdown of each profession. Lin Rui had a total of eight people in his territory back then, and he couldn't figure out who was who until a fisherman came to him proactively, and he found out the last person was hiding in the Fisherman's Hut.
Moreover, within this 18377 population, the number of Explorers is included.
This is really unavoidable. According to the system, as long as the Explorers join the territory, they become one of the individuals among these 18377 people and are not specifically distinguished.
