臻與席柱如廣東,自欽州防城始,遵海以東而北,歷府七、州三、縣二十九、衛六、所十七、巡檢司十六、台城堡砦二十一,還民地二萬八千一百九十二頃,復業丁口三萬一千三百。 Zhen and Xizhu went to Guangdong. Starting from Fangcheng in Qinzhou they followed the coast east and north through seven prefectures, three departments, twenty-nine counties, six guards, seventeen posts, sixteen inspection offices, and twenty-one forts and stockades, returning 28,192 qing of land and restoring 31,300 working household members.
時議裁各省駐防及督、撫、提、鎮標兵,臻謂:「兵冗可裁而不宜驟行,請自今老弱、物故、額缺概不補,數歲額自減。」 At that time the court deliberated cutting provincial garrisons and the personal guards of governors-general, governors, commanders, and regional commanders. Zhen said, "Redundant troops may be cut but not abruptly; from now on old, weak, deceased, and vacant quotas should not be filled—in a few years the quotas will shrink of themselves."
