It was already the end of November when Gu Hui and the others set off from qulong city. There was no snow in the goddess Kingdom, and the weather was neither hot nor cold. It was quite suitable for their journey.
On the great Zhou side, the Imperial court had already sent officials to take over the southern border.
Now that the Nanjiang Prince and Princess were locked up in the capital, the Nanjiang had been fully incorporated into the great Zhou's territory. The Emperor named the Nanjiang as Lin Zhou, and the Nanjiang Imperial City was set as the Lin Prefecture. The largest city under his jurisdiction was set as Nanjiang County.
After a few months of discussion, the Imperial court finally decided that Lin Zhou would have a total of nine counties. The towns and villages would be arranged by the newly appointed County Magistrate.
The Emperor sent Xie Chunfeng, who was the top two in Gu shouxin's exam, to be the head of the Lin Prefecture.
