The court ordered Zhen and Academician Xizhu to Fujian and Guangdong to inspect boundary extension, and Zhen was promoted to Minister of Works.

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.

臻以母喪還裡，席柱復命，奏陳濱海居民還鄉安業。 Zhen returned home to mourn his mother. Xizhu reported back and memorialized that coastal residents had returned to their villages and settled in their occupations.
