Need to know.
It's currently only the year 1100, with a full 26 years to go before the Jingkang Incident.
This time is undoubtedly a bit short to curb the development of the Jin People:
The Jurchen people had already been merged into a Military Tribe Alliance by Wanyan Wugunai over twenty years ago.
Currently, Helib of the Jurchen has been dead for eight years, and Wanyan Aguda has already risen to power, so curbing them is certainly too late.
But for a Northern Song official like Zong Ze, it's somewhat long.
According to the normal trajectory.
Zong Ze would serve as County Magistrate in various places over the next ten years, and about fifteen years later, he would be promoted to the Dengzhou Assistant Governor, a Senior Sixth Grade official position.
After that, he would request retirement to return home, and it wouldn't be until 1124 that he would be appointed as Ba Prefecture Assistant Governor.
That time is a full 24 years from now.
