Zhang Xun and the four daughters returned to Yiyuan County after finishing the first half of the month of Yimeng Mountain. Life returned to the original track, Zhang Xun was busy governing Yiyuan, and the four daughters were dedicated to taking care of the Drunken Immortal Building. Time passed day by day, and in the middle of the lunar month, Zhang Xun remembered the group of children in Dujia Village who followed him to learn "Thousand Character Text", and it had been almost a year, so he decided to go to Dujia Village to have a look.

Thinking of the children, Zhang Xun sighed again, "When can I be a father!", and then thought that although he had been married for more than a year, he was either busy preparing for exams or running around for official business after taking office as a county magistrate. Zhang Xun comforted himself and said, "There will be news soon." The carriage stopped, Zhang Xun knew that he had arrived at the entrance of Dujia Village, so he suppressed his heart's desire for the child, calmed down and got off the car and said to the coachman: "You go back to the county office!" and entered Dujia Village again.

Zhang Xun still walked to Du Gang's house and knocked on the door a few times. Du Gang opened the door and saw that it was Zhang Xun, and was about to kneel. Zhang Xun hurriedly stopped Du Gang and said: "If I am the commander of Yiyuan County, I will not come to you, and I will come to you to reminisce about the past." If you do this again, I'll pick up the head and leave. Du Gang had no choice but not to kneel and respectfully call Zhang County. When he came to the house, Zhang Xun only saw Du Gang's wife and asked, "Why is my student Wenli not here?" Du Gang replied: "Zhang County, since you last came to Dujia Village to teach the children to read and write and hyphenation, you have to read and practice calligraphy every morning and afternoon. It's still the location where you are in class and the time, rain or shine, and holidays. Zhang Xun said: "I see, then you can take me over to have a look!"

Du Gang took Zhang Xun to the Du family ancestral hall, Zhang Xun saw the scene in front of him, and sighed in his heart the simplicity of the villagers of Dujia Village. No wonder his 20-year-old curse was resolved, and it turned out that the villagers of Dujia Village set up a shrine for him and worshiped him every day. Walking outside the room that was used as a classroom at the time, I saw through the window that Naduri was leading the children to recite the "Thousand Character Text". Du Gang said: "Zhang County, you wrote "Shi Shuo" in the college examination, mentioning his name, which made him very encouraged, and he was ready to go to the county to test Xiucai after the beginning of spring. Zhang Xun said with a smile: "The county is the chief examiner, and I will not show favoritism." At this time, the children had finished reciting the "Thousand Character Text", and Zhang Xun walked into the classroom. Du Li and Du Wenli were the first to see Zhang Xun, so they performed the teacher ceremony. When the other children saw the movement, they shouted in unison, "Hello teacher!" Zhang Xun said: "I'm coming to see you, you must not waste your studies." Du Wenli came up at this time, took Zhang Xun's hand mischievously and said: "Wenli has fully understood the "Thousand Character Text", what else can you teach me? Uncle, you said that you hope I will be the champion in the future. Zhang Xun said with a smile: "Uncle will teach you after the New Year." The old village chief Du Qing also came to this classroom at this time, and when he heard Du Wenli's childish words, he said to Du Gang: "Du Gang, you have given birth to a good son!" At noon, Zhang Xun had a meal with the villagers of Dujia Village, inquired about the situation in the village and left Dujia Village.

At noon on the day of the new year, Zhang Xun and the four girls were eating in the courtyard together, and suddenly Xinlan felt unwell, Zhang Xun thought if he was happy, and asked Wen Xin to take care of Xinlan, so he went to invite Langzhong. Lang Zhong has a pulse, and it is indeed a happy pulse, Xinlan is more than a month pregnant. Zhang Xun gave Na Langzhong a big red envelope and sent Lang Zhong out of the hospital. Zhang Xun, who was in a good mood, hummed, "I've waited for a long time, and finally waited for today, and I dreamed for a long time, and finally realized my dream." "Returned to the yard. Seeing that Wen Xin was congratulating Xinlan, he said to Bihe and Yuchan: "You must take care of Xinlan and make Xinlan feel comfortable in everything." Zhang Xun said to Xin Lan again: "Xin Lan, you don't care about other things in the next few days, and you are in a good mood to give birth to the first little life for me and the Zhang family." Xin Lan said: "Don't worry, husband, I will definitely give birth to a healthy baby." Zhang Xun said again: "I went to write a letter to my father-in-law to report the good news, and this year's New Year will be spent in Yiyuan." ”

Throughout the year, from Chinese New Year's Eve to Lantern Festival, Zhang Xun never left the county backyard for a single step. When the weather is fine, I accompany Xinlan to bask in the warm winter sun, and when the rain and snow are falling, I tell fairy tales to Xinlan in the house. This thoughtfulness made Wen Xin envious, and at night she tried her best to charm Zhang Xun, hoping that she could be happy soon.

Years later, Zhang Xun devoted himself to work again. Fortunately, it is all small things, such as going to the county school to teach those students, visiting the long-lived elderly over 70 years old, and so on. Only after Qingming, Zhang Xun felt that something was wrong, after the Lantern Festival, it did not rain in Yiyuan. Zhang Xun knew that this was not a trivial matter, and immediately sent someone to call Zeng Xiancheng, Jiang Jinsong, who was the master of Li and managed the daily work of Yiyuan Canal. After the three arrived, Zhang Xun expressed his worries. Jiang Jinsong said: "There is no need to worry about Yiyuan, I have ordered the irrigation function of the Yiyuan Canal to be activated in early February, and the reservoirs in each township have also been filled with water. When the sun is shining, some necessary measures are also taken to protect the crops from the sun, and the harvest will not be greatly affected. Last year was another bumper harvest year, and there was enough grain in the grain depot, and there was no problem in supplying Yiyuan. Zhang Xun heard Jiang Jinsong say this, and was a little relieved, so he said: "The county will immediately rush to Zibo to ask the prefect about the area covered by this drought." Bright, you personally stared at the grain depot, absolutely nothing could happen. In the three provinces, you have two tasks: If the drought really reaches the point of drought, you must accept refugees in an orderly manner and maintain public order; second, you must severely crack down on those profiteers who dare to raise grain prices and keep grain prices stable. Jinsong, you continue to work hard, run more in all townships, make full use of the Yiyuan Canal, and minimize the loss. The three of them all nodded and left the county government to keep an eye on the matters they were responsible for, and Zhang Xun also rode to Zibo.

Some of the conditions he saw along the road, Zhang Xun knew that this time the trouble was big, and the drought was not small. I traveled all the way in a hurry, and only slowed down when I arrived at the Zibo City Gate. When I arrived at the door of the mansion, I didn't care about the etiquette when I saw Master Dai, and shouted loudly: "Master Dai, Master Dai." Master Dai saw that it was Zhang Xun and asked, "Zhang County, who are you?" Zhang Xun said: "I Yiyuan has not rained from the Lantern Festival to the present, and I came to Zibo Mansion to ask about the situation in Zibo, but as far as I saw on the road just now, the soil in the ground in some places has cracked. The drought is certainly not small. Master Dai was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately took Zhang Xun to see Prefect Yu's mansion.

When Zhang Xun saw Yu Zhifu and told him about the situation, Yu Zhifu was also shocked, knowing that this matter was not trivial, so he said to Master Dai: "Mingjiang, you personally go down to the counties to see how serious the drought is, and open a warehouse to release grain when necessary with the seal of the government." After Master Dai took the order, Governor Yu asked Zhang Xun: "What is your best plan to deal with it?" Zhang Xun said: "Because of the Yiyuan Canal, this year's harvest will not have a big impact, and at present, there is enough food in Yiyuan to accept 50,000 refugees at any time." The rest of the subordinates were powerless. Yu Zhifu nodded and said, "This mansion knows, you go back to Yiyuan immediately." After Zhang Xun left, the prefect of Yu immediately wrote a letter explaining the drought situation and sent someone to Qufu to apply for assistance.

On the second day, after King Lu learned of the outbreak of a large-scale drought in Zibo Prefecture, he immediately asked General Manager Hu to find Zhou Hongbo, the head of the household department, and Feng Siping, the head of the household department, and asked the two of them to transport enough grain to Zibo within three days. King Lu thought of Zhang Xun's current Yiyuan under Zibo Mansion as the county magistrate, so he ordered to Chief Manager Hu: "The widow is not at ease, you go to Yiyuan to see it in person, and ask Zhang Xun what he can do? Mr. Hu said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the slave will definitely handle this matter well." ”

On the morning of the second day after Zhang Xun returned to Yiyuan, the prefect of Yu sent people to send 50,000 hungry people from Yinan County, where the drought was most severe, to Yiyuan. Zhang Xun finally felt relieved when he saw it, and the situation was under control. Manager Hu arrived in Yiyuan in the afternoon, and after seeing Zhang Xun, he asked about the situation, and Zhang Xun said: "Yiyuan County has now received 50,000 hungry people, and the current situation is stable. Yiyuan must be fine, Zibo has the imperial court disaster relief food, and the situation will slowly calm down. Manager Hu said: "What our family is curious about is why Yiyuan has not been affected by the disaster, and can still accept 50,000 hungry people?" Zhang Xun replied: "Last year, Yiyuan built water conservancy and built the Yiyuan Canal, which played a great role this time. Tomorrow, I'll take my father-in-law to see it. ”

On the second day, when Manager Hu saw Yiyuan Canal, he knew how much Zhang Xun had done last year, and then said to Zhang Xun: "After our family returns to the palace, we must explain all this to Your Majesty, since you are doing all this, then our family will go to other places in Zibo to have a look." Zhang Xun said: "Zhang Xun sent Grandpa Hu." ”

Zhang Xun thought that when these hungry people were full, they were good laborers, and the road in Yiyuan Mountain could be repaired. Yiyuan once again built a large number of buildings, and the hungry people from the south of Yinan saw the beautiful scenery of Yimeng mountains and rivers after they were full, and the enthusiasm they showed made Zhang Xundu amazed. In just three months, a road comparable to a county road was built. On the day of completion, Zhang Xun asked several village chiefs among the 50,000 hungry people, and learned that these 50,000 hungry people completely regarded this place as their home, where they did not have to go hungry, and the beautiful scenery of Yimeng mountains and rivers seemed to be an outdoor paradise. Parents here love the people like children, and with all this, this is their best home.

Zhang Xun knew the thoughts of these 50,000 men, women and children, so he entered the Yiyuan County register for them together with the county master book, and newly compiled two townships, Yishan Township and Mengshan Township. In less than a month, the new villagers built bamboo houses or wooden houses, and became villages and settled down in the Yimeng Mountains. Zhang Xun gave the village chiefs the planning map of the Yimeng Mountains with his four daughters a few years ago, and asked them to mobilize the villagers to step up construction. Two months later, Zhang Xun saw the preliminarily completed Yimeng Landscape Scenic Area and knew that it could be promoted to attract tourists. What satisfies Zhang Xun the most is the harmony between the original Yanya Township and Tumen Township and the newly built Yishan Township and Mengshan Township.

Zhang Xun saw that Yiyuan under his governance was thriving, his first child was about to be born, and Wen Xin was now three months pregnant. In short, Zhang Xun felt that everything was good.
