Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

The prefect has been detained since his arrest.

Until Zhao Yuanzhen and his team sorted out the case files and all the evidence.

Zhao Yuanzhen and Du Anji sealed up all the evidence they had sorted out and waited for Zhao Yuanlan to come and take it away.

Because the Sima Tingjing case involved a wide range of people, there were almost ten county magistrates in Mizhou Prefecture alone who were implicated.

There are also officials from several prefectures in Jiangnan, and even from Beijing, which is not something Zhao Yuanzhen can control.

Wait for Zhao Yuanlan to come.

Zhao Yuanzhen was afraid that the county magistrates under Mizhou would transfer evidence and property, so he had the government office guarded and no one was allowed to enter or leave. All the county magistrates involved in the case were taken to the government office prison.

All the people involved in the case in Xiafang County were also taken to Mizhou Prefecture.

They were detained together.

Du Anji was temporarily in Michigan Prefecture and did not return to Xiafang County, taking charge of the affairs of both the prefecture and the county.

Other county magistrates who received the news came over to check.

Du Anji usually keeps a low profile, so how come he can suddenly take on the position of Mizhou Prefecture?

After he arrived, no one knew whose orders he was following, but all the officers and soldiers in the military camp in the city obeyed his orders. Was it really the will of His Majesty?

Zhao Yuanzhen and his companions waited for almost eight days before Zhao Yuanlan arrived in Mizhou Prefecture.

"Du Anji received the order."

The first thing Zhao Yuanlan did when he arrived was to read out the imperial edict.

[Du Anji, serving as the magistrate of Xiafang County, has excellent political achievements, understands the people's sentiments, is upright, honest and fair, and is specially promoted to the position of prefect of Mizhou Prefecture. I hope he will continue to work hard and benefit the people of Mizhou Prefecture. This is my decree! ]

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will obey your order!"

Du Anji stood up happily and received the order!

Thank you ancestors!

Thank you Miss Zhao!

"Congratulations, Governor Du!"

"Thank you, General Zhao, you must have traveled a long way. I have prepared a banquet to welcome you."

"Then thank you, Magistrate Du."

Zhao Yuanlan did not refuse. Since he was recommended by his younger sister, he was most likely his younger sister's person. It was normal for them to have some contact with him.

"Brother, you came really fast!"

I thought it would take at least 10 days, but I didn’t expect it to arrive in 8 days.

"Well, I was afraid you would be anxious, so I sped up the process of getting there."

Zhao Yuanzhen asked Zhao Yuanlan to wash up and eat first.

I was so exhausted from the journey that I didn't have time to eat properly.

The next day, Zhao Yuanlan began to take over the evidence, review the case, and interrogate all the people involved in the case.

The evidence was conclusive and no one resisted.

Zhao Yuanlan sentenced those who deserved death, and detained those with more serious consequences and sent them back to the capital first.

The house search lasted for several days.

These officials in Jiangnan are really wealthy. Even this small county magistrate is quite wealthy.

Thinking of the Majesty's efforts to hold back his laughter when he came here, Zhao Yuanlan felt that these people were really hateful and lovable.

What is hateful is corruption and accepting bribes.

Lovely is contributing to the national treasury.

After Zhao Yuanlan arrived, Zhao Yuanzhen no longer cared about the case and began to take Zhang Zijin to explore for minerals.

Thinking about the pirate ships that were intercepted before.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out 30 ships and quietly placed them in a remote place, then asked Lan Ying to ask Du Anji to send someone to receive them. This was her gift to Du Anji, the prefect, for his promotion.

The coastal states all have their own navies, but they have never had many ships.

Du Anji was extremely happy that Zhao Yuanzhen took out so much at once.

Miss Zhao is his great aunt.

Zhao Yuanzhen found an opportunity and gave Du Anji a loyalty pill.

Thinking about how cowardly he was and how he didn't know any martial arts, I gave him a powerful pill.

Du Anji was surprised to find that he suddenly became extremely strong.

This, this, this!

what's the situation.

I was surprised, but I also knew that this matter could not be told to anyone else. Miss Zhao also warned me not to tell anyone.

"Since you followed me, I will tell you something too."

"Okay, Miss Zhao, you go ahead."

"My husband's surname is Zhang. My husband passed away a few years ago. The prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture is my third son, but he won't be in Yangzhou for long. He will definitely return to the capital in the future. What you need to do is to manage Mizhou Prefecture well first, make achievements, and then slowly be promoted back to the capital in the future to help my son."

Return to the capital!

I can still be an official in Beijing in this life!

It’s worth it. I will definitely assist the young master of Miss Zhao’s family as long as he can become an official in Beijing!

"Okay, Miss Zhao, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely assist the young master."

"Yes. I won't stay here long. If you have anything, you can write to my eldest brother, or write to the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture. They can both contact me!"

"Okay, Miss!"

Seeing that an agreement had been reached, Zhao Yuanzhen stopped caring about this and continued to explore minerals with Zhang Zijin.

After staying in Mizhou Prefecture for almost a month, Zhao Yuanzhen left with Zhang Zijin and others.

This time it is Lu Lu who is leaving, and the next destination is Qingzhou Prefecture.

Zhao Yuanzhen's planned route was to follow the line from southeast to northeast, all the way back to Yanshan Prefecture.

They walked and stopped along the way.

I have seen the towering mountains, heard the gurgling water, smelled the fragrance of forest flowers, and tasted the sweetness of fruits.

I have experienced storms and also basked in the warm sunshine;

I have felt the vastness and turbulence of the sea, and the breadth and tranquility of the plains;

Pass through dense forests and stroll through bustling cities.

They understand the local customs and practices of each place, taste local food, communicate with local people, and learn about local cultures.

What he saw and heard along the way broadened Zhang Zijin's horizons and made him more open-minded.

During this process, Zhang Zijin saw the change of seasons and felt the passage of time.

From the golden color of autumn to the whiteness of winter, and then from the silvery snow of winter to the revival of spring, the four seasons cycle and life continues.

I have witnessed the changes in nature and also experienced the impermanence of life.

During this journey, Zhang Zijin learned to appreciate everything in front of him and be grateful for every little bit of beauty in life.

At the same time, they also understand that the meaning of life lies in constant exploration, growth and dedication.

Only in this way can we truly realize our own value and make our life more wonderful.

He also wrote one travelogue after another.

The articles are getting longer and longer, and the writing is getting better and better.

Even the illustrations are getting better and better.

When they arrived at Yanshan Prefecture, Zhao Yuanzhen and his team stayed the longest, for almost three months.

This is where Zhang Zijin was born. If he had not fled later, he would probably have lived here forever. Therefore, he has a deeper and more special feeling for this place.

When Zhao Yuanzhen arrived in Yanshan Prefecture, he returned to his farm.

Processing reviewed various transactions.

An assessment was conducted on the manager trained by Zhang Yuxin.

I picked a good one and promoted him to deputy general manager.

Assist Zhang Yu in management.

From then on, Zhang Yu would have a half-year vacation every year, allowing him to return to the capital to reunite with Bai Wei and others.

When the deputy general manager is able to take charge on his own, Zhang Yu can come to investigate a few times a year.

Due to the increasing expansion of trade transactions and the increasing number of orders, the current production can't keep up, so Zhao Yuanzhen expanded the workshop again.

He also bought a group of slaves and trained them to be his own people.

As for the people who were hired.

The signed contracts have expired, and only a very small number of people, less than 500, have left, while the rest have chosen to continue signing.

Many people chose to settle in Xiaoshan County.

For those who settled down there, Zhao Yuanzhen would give 10 taels of silver as their settling-in fee.

Xiaoshan County has developed rapidly in recent years due to the border trade market.

The population also increased.

There is even a hint that the population is about to surpass that before the Jin people entered the Pass.

As more people settled here, many dormitories became unused.

So it just became a room for two people.

It is worth mentioning that the academy in Zhangjiazhuang is now very large, and even students from surrounding counties come to study there.

Those who performed well in their studies all went into the workshops in Zhangjiazhuang after graduation.

After arranging matters in Xiaoshan County, Zhao Yuanzhen took Zhang Zijin and returned to the capital via Taiyuan Prefecture.

It took more than a year to reach the capital.

Zhang Zijin's Travels to Daliang Dynasty is finally finished.

After returning to the capital, Zhang Zijin organized his travel notes and rushed them to be printed and published.

Zhao Yuanzhen took Zhang Zijin's notes into the space and reformatted them on the computer.

Those pictures painted by Zhang Zijin and the photos taken by Zhao Yuanzhen.

She also put them in carefully.

After the formatting was done, I checked it carefully several times to make sure there were no problems.

Then I chose the paper, the kind that can be preserved for a long time, is not afraid of water, and does not fade.

She printed out a copy first, with a cover made of soft sheepskin. She bound it according to the number of pages, and it finally became a book.

Compared with the books published by its own movable type printing workshop, the whole book looks much more exquisite and substantial.

I looked through the first printed book again.

Make sure there is no problem.

Zhao Yuanzhen planned to print a hundred copies.

He took out the copy that was printed first and gave it to Zhang Zijin.

"Zijin, come and take a look at this."

"Here it comes, Grandma, what is this?"

"It's your travel notes. I reprinted and bound them with better quality paper. A total of 100 volumes have been bound. This is the only one I have finished. Take a look at it first. Tell me if there are any changes that need to be made."

"Wow, grandma, this is so beautiful. And the painting looks great when printed out. It's in color and looks so lifelike. I love it so much."

"As long as you like it, tell me after you check it out."

"Okay, grandma, can I give this away later?"

"Of course you can. I'll keep ten of the hundred books in my library at home, and the rest are yours. You can give them to whomever you want!"

"Okay, thank you grandma. I'll give it to the teacher at the academy. The teacher has been asking me if I've finished writing the travelogue."

"Okay, then go check it out. If there's no problem, I'll go print those 100 copies for you."

"Okay, got it, grandma. I'll start checking now."

"Well, let's go."
