After everyone's joint efforts, the plague in the disaster area was finally cured. Of course, some people will die, which is inevitable. However, relatively speaking, the proportion of death is not large, and they are usually elderly and weak. These people have a poor foundation and cannot survive it at all.

The next step is the autumn harvest and reconstruction. The northeast is cold early, so you have to quickly build the houses, otherwise the people will not be able to survive in winter.

The grain output in the central region was half as high as last year, while the eastern and western regions also reduced production. This uneven weather of drought and flood, even if the crops were not flooded, they would still be affected. Zixuan reported to the court and requested that this year's tax exemption, and the emperor agreed.

Although there is less food, life is still enough. When the people heard that they can be exempted from tax this year, they are very grateful.

The decrease in grain output directly affected Jinghan's winery, but there was no way to do this kind of natural disaster. Jinghan only received about 100,000 kilograms of grain, and it seemed that this was the only way.

Zixuan presided over the post-disaster reconstruction at the government office. Several severely affected prefectures and counties sent people to visit. Then Zixuan decided to build people's houses in higher terrain so that they could avoid being affected again.

Some government office came forward and brought back older wood from the eastern mountainous area. Then soldiers from all over the country helped build houses for the people.

By the end of September, all the houses were built. The people happily moved into their new homes. After experiencing floods and plagues, people cherished the time in front of them even more. As long as people are still there, they can still live a good life in the future.

Yi Mingyu's intention was to let Zixuan be the prefect of Longzhou, but Zixuan did not agree. To be honest, he was a little tired after being an official for many years. If he became the prefect of Longzhou, Jinghan would probably have to worry about the whole of Longzhou again. So when Mingyu proposed it, he refused.

"Mingyu, according to the rules of the court, this official cannot be an official in his hometown and must be avoided. In the past, I was far away from Shuangdian and was both a county, which was nothing. If it were Longzhou, it would be under Shuangdian, which was so unruly. Besides, the prefect of Longzhou and the fourth-rank rank chief rank official, I do not have the qualifications yet." Zixuan smiled and rejected Mingyu's proposal.

Mingyu also understood this, so he wrote to the court and asked Zixuan to give him a reward.

The emperor originally had similar plans to Mingyu, but after seeing Mingyu's memorial, he changed his mind. At the same time, he issued an order to change Zhendong County to Xizhou and Lin Zixuan appointed him as the governor of Xizhou. This governor was an official of the fifth rank, and Zixuan was originally a seventh rank, and he was upgraded to several levels at once.

Some people in the court agreed and some opposed it, but the emperor had already decided, so he naturally did not listen to them. At the same time, the emperor also issued an order to reward Zhiming, Qingnian and others. After all, Zhiming emptied the entire medicine shop. Moreover, during this plague, Zhiming, Qingnian and others also made great contributions.

Xizhou has five or six counties under its jurisdiction, and these county magistrates cannot all be transferred from other places. Considering the special nature of Xizhou, the emperor decided to listen to Zixuan's opinion. Finally, he decided to promote Zhao County Magistrate and Liu Zhuan to county magistrates, and the rest would be sent from other places. This is also a reward for the two. After all, in this incident, the two of them had great contributions.

In early October, the court sent a new magistrate from Longzhou. The man's surname was Zhou, and it seemed that he was less than forty years old. Zixuan and the magistrate Zhou handed over various affairs in the government office, and felt that this person was okay. He was steady and heavy in his work, and he was very humble and polite in his treatment of things. Even if Zixuan was several levels lower than him, he did not look down on others like the magistrate Fang.

It took Zixuan and the prefect Zhou Dynasty five or six days to hand over all the affairs. Mingyu and others were a little impatient to wait. They also wanted to go to Xizhou to see Jinghan and the children. Besides, they had been away from Beijing for a long time, so they quickly finished their business and went home.

Finally, when Zixuan finished his work, everyone went to Xizhou together.

Jinghan had received the news long ago that when he knew Zixuan was promoted, he was naturally happy for Zixuan. Being able to show his talents and abilities and make a career is the ideal of every man. Now that Zixuan's ability has been affirmed, Jinghan is also happy for his husband. But at the same time, he will inevitably feel distressed. Zixuan's gains all this did not come out of thin air, but was earned by his own conscientious efforts.

Zixuan has been away from home for more than two months, and the couple rarely spends so long apart. Qingyuan mutters every day why his father hasn't come back yet. Although Qingyao's words are not very clear, he is also what his father and father often say.

"Dad will be back in the next two days. Are Qingyuan happy?" Jinghan hugged Qingyao, then asked with Qingyuan's hand.

"Mom, is Dad really coming back soon? That's great, I miss Dad." Qingyuan immediately became happy.

Chunliu and others next to them also laughed. These days, not only Jinghan was worried, but even the girls at home were worried. Now that they heard that the master had been promoted to magistrate, they were of course happy.

Everyone was talking when suddenly someone came in outside and said that the master was back. Jinghan was stunned. Didn’t he say he would come back tomorrow or the next day? “Hurry up, go out and have a look.” As he said that, he quickly put on thick clothes and took the people out.

When I arrived at the front yard, I saw Zixuan bringing some people back. After a closer look, it turned out that it was Uncle San, Brother and others. Jinghan walked a few steps quickly and went forward. "Uncle San, uncle, why are you here?" Jinghan quickly stepped forward to salute.

"We are thinking about you, so we come with Zixuan. We haven't seen you for two years, so we miss you." Zhiming said with a smile.

"Second sister, you just look at Uncle Jiang San and Uncle, but you didn't see us, right?" Mingyu stopped doing it there.

"Your second sister, I just open my mouth. I always say hello one by one, right? You're just a lot." Jinghan glared at Mingyu and then smiled. "Okay, come in quickly. I'll have someone arrange a place to stay. We'll have to get together this time."

When my mother's family came, Jinghan was naturally very happy. She greeted her one by one, and then asked Zixuan to accompany them and arrange her accommodation and food.

Qian came back with Zixuan. When he saw this, he also came forward to help.

"Auntie, you have worked hard all the way, so let's go and rest. This matter will be fine in a while." Jinghan quickly urged Qian to rest.

"I'm not tired. I've been resting in the government office these days. In this way, I'll help you watch Qingyuan and Qingyao, go and do your work." The two little guys who Qian was most worried about were naturally those two little guys.

"Okay, aunt, go and see them. These two little things often say, why haven't aunt come back yet?" Qingyuan and the other two were coaxed by Qian since childhood, so they are very close to Qian.

Jinghan took people to clean up the house. Fortunately, the entire county government renovated it last year and built a lot of houses. Now I don’t have to worry about having no place to live. The houses are complete and they were cleaned up, so I didn’t have to be too busy and I got it done.

Jinghan went to the kitchen again and asked someone to prepare more delicious food. Fortunately, a lot of things were sent to the village, so he didn't have to worry about food. Jinghan also ordered someone to go to the village and ask them to kill two sheep and another cow. When my mother's family comes, she must be well treated.

After all these things were arranged, Jinghan came to the living room. Everyone was sitting in the room waiting for Jinghan. When they saw Jinghan coming back, they all laughed.

"Jinghan, don't make it too grand. We are not outsiders. We only stay here for one night and we have to go back tomorrow." Zhiming said with a smile.

"Uncle San, you finally came here, how could you leave after only one day? You have to stay for a few more days." Jinghan was a little anxious when he heard this.

"We have been out for more than a month, so we have to go home to check it out. We have to tell your grandparents about the situation here, so don't worry them. Besides, Wen Han and the others are still three months away from Beijing, so it's time to return to Beijing to report their lives. Let's get together again if we have time. Next year will be your grandfather's 66th birthday. We have agreed that we will go back then." Zhiming said about the old man's birthday.

In the northeast, there is a custom that the elderly must do their 66th birthday. It is said that if they are 66th, they will lose a piece of meat even if they don’t die. Therefore, those who are younger generations attach great importance to the elderly’s birthday.

"Oh, I forgot it. It turns out that my grandfather is sixty-six next year." Jinghan slapped her forehead, and she was really busy forgot.

"Don't you know this time? You must go back then. Wenhan, so do you guys, don't forget it at that time." Zhiming smiled. Now the children are all married, and it's not that easy to get together.

"Okay, we will definitely come back then. At worst, we can just invite a holiday for a while. Fortunately, my grandfather's birthday is on the first lunar month, and it was still leisurely at that time, and nothing was going to happen." Wen Han, Pengcheng and others quickly nodded in agreement.

Mingyu doesn't care. He is the prince and usually does not participate in the affairs of the court. He has time at any time. However, Yun Fei is a little embarrassed. After all, he is now the commander of the Imperial Guard, but there is a way to solve this problem.

Everyone was talking intimately together, and Wen Han and others were very curious about what happened here, so Jinghan explained it to them. Speaking of the things they have done here in the past few years, everyone admired Jinghan very much.

"Second sister, I will try the beef you mentioned later. The emperor came that year and I have said it a few times after I went back. If it weren't for the long journey, I would have asked you to send beef to the capital city. And what pineapple eggs you mentioned, I also want to try this. If it were good, we will set up a shop in the capital city to sell these things specifically." Mingyu was a foodie, and he started to shout when he heard what he had eaten.
