After Liaozhen was reorganized into the Five Roads, there was no one who was in control of the ancestral family.

Among the several fortified cities in the western Liaoxi corridor, Ningyuan City was originally the foundation of the ancestral family, but now it is under the direct control of Lu Shanji, the governor of Liaodong;

And sitting in Yizhou City is Chen Renxi, the imperial history of the Liao Town Supervision Army, and Lin Maochun, the commander of the left road;

Sitting in Jinzhou City is Guo Guang, who is now the official envoy of Liaodong, and He Kegang, the commander of Liaozhen's front road.

The general who sits in Zhenhai City on Juehua Island on the right road is the Jin Guan, who is still the commander of Liaodong Town on the right side after being transferred to the Navy Governor's Office, and the Liaozhen Governor Lang Langzhong who is located in Zhenhai City on Juehua Island sent by the imperial court.

The commander of the back road of Liaozhen was Du Gui, who sat between Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan in the so-called Zhonghou Institute (later Suizhong, Liaoning).

As for the marshal Man Gui, who sits in Tashan and controls the overall situation, it is even more impossible for Ning Jin's ancestral family to offend or bribe him.

Therefore, after transferring Zu Dashou, who was on the front line of Jinzhou in Duzhen, the biggest general of the Zu family in the Liaodong Army was Zu Dale, the deputy general of Jinzhou.

Without the protection of the towering tree of Zu Dashou, the Zu family's trading warehouses in Ningyuan and Jinzhou would not be able to reach the sky and run rampant in Liaodong as in history.

Historically, before Zu Dashou returned to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, many children of the Zu family had become guests of the Later Jin Kingdom a few years ago.

Among them, there are Zu Dashou's own sons and nephews, who have been trading with the Houjin State for many years and have long had contacts in the Houjin Kingdom.

And the existence of these people and the things they did also laid the groundwork for Zu Dashou's later surrender to the Manchu Dynasty.

However, in this life, the situation in Liaodong is different, and the situation of the ancestral family is also different.

Since Zu Dashou gained a firm foothold in Datong, the Zu family began to shift the focus of their business to Datong and Mongolia to the west.

In particular, after Zu Dashou was named the Earl of Wuchuan, and after he went out of the customs and sat in the Naturalization City, the ancestral families in Ningyuan and Jinzhou took the Naturalization City and the rebuilt Wuchuan Fort as another key business place for the ancestors, and they brought their families to attach them.

In addition to the four Heng belonging to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the most powerful trading house in Guihua City and Wuchuan Fort today is the Zuji Commercial Bank of the Zu family.

Emperor Chongzhen knew all about this situation.

Although he sat in the palace all day, he was also able to grasp the most subtle information from the various reports of Jinyiwei and Dongchang and the Liaodong Governor's Mansion from time to time.

In any case, the direction of Ning Jin, after two or three years of painstaking cultivation by Lu Shanji, the governor of Liaodong, has basically been in the hands of Lu Shanji.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen is still relatively relieved.

And the only place he is not worried about is the direction of North Korea, because Dongjiang Town in history, starting from Mao Wenlong, to the few generals under Mao Wenlong's command, there have been episodes of trade with Jianyu.

In the original history, the financial and food support given by the Ming court to the soldiers of Dongjiang Town has been very limited.

Especially after the conquest of the Jin State after the capture of Korea, it no longer supplied grain and grass to Dongjiang Town, and Mao Wenlong and his generals, who were already extremely poor, had to fend for themselves and raise food and grass for their soldiers.

Among them, it is inevitable that there will be many smuggling trade with the traitors of the Jin State after the establishment of the captivity.

In the original history, as early as the Apocalypse, many courtiers wrote to impeach Mao Wenlong for trading with Jianyu, and Mao Wenlong also repeatedly wrote to defend himself, his reason was that he sent a caravan over, but it was just to reconnoiter the military situation of the Jin State in disguise.

Mao Wenlong even had some correspondence with Huang Taiji, but for the impeachment of the DPRK and China, Mao Wenlong used soldiers to defend himself.

But in any case, Mao Wenlong was a meritorious person after all, and he did not defect to the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history after all.

In this life, not only the financial situation of the imperial court has improved, and the support for Dongjiang Town can be said to be in place, but also the Korean State has returned to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty and continues to bear the 30% of the grain and grass military supplies of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Dongjiang Town.

In particular, the Andong Zhenshou Mansion and the Tumen Zhenshou Mansion forcibly ceded by Emperor Chongzhen from Korea and the vast land west of the first line of Wonsan in Pyongyang have all become the places where the Wulu General Military Office of Donggang Town carried out military and civilian cantonments.

Today's general military offices in Dongjiang Town are more than enough for self-sufficiency in grain and grass.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen allocated the salary of 36,000 people every quarter to the salary controlled by the imperial history of the superintendent army of Dongjiang Town, and Dongjiang Town had no worries about money and food.

In this case, as long as the generals of Dongjiang Town are not too greedy, then under the ban of Emperor Chongzhen's repeated orders, they should not take risks and secretly trade with the Jin State after the capture of Jianzhen.

However, even so, Emperor Chongzhen was not completely relieved, in addition to the headquarters of the Jinyi Wei Dongjiang Thousand Households Office and the Dongying Trading Company stationed on Phi Island, the new Dongjiang Town Supervisor Yu Shi Lu Daqi sent from Emperor Chongzhen's side, and You Jinghe, the right assistant general of the Tumen Town Guard Mansion, all had the responsibility of monitoring the generals of Dongjiang Town openly and secretly.

At the same time, the situation in the area from the Liaodong Peninsula to the Korean Peninsula in this life is completely different from the original history.

This area is no longer the place where Mao Wenlong alone had the final say in history.

The south of Fuzhou City, especially the south of Jinzhou City, is now all under the control of the Lushun Town Guard.

From Pyongyang to Wonsan and to Hamhung, it was under the control of Pyongyang's brothers.

Mao Wenlong's every move, as well as the every move of Mao Chenglu, the envoy of Anton Town, were all under the close monitoring of these people.

Especially after the chief military officer of the General Military Office on the left side of Dongjiang Town was replaced by Shen Shikui, the coastal islands from the mouth of the Yalu River to the Lushun Town Shoufu were all under Shen Shikui's control.

Even if Anton Hou Mao Wenlong wanted to trade with Jianyu, he didn't have much opportunity and space.

Emperor Chongzhen arranged so many followers up and down Dongjiang Town, as well as by Mao Wenlong's side, and he was not afraid that he would contact Jianyu privately.

Once he does this, not only will he have a good reason to clean him up after the imperial court pacifies Jianyu in the future, but also many generals in Dongjiang Town who fought with Jianyu to the death before will probably also be separated from him.

Not long after Emperor Chongzhen arranged the long-considered rebellion against the Horqin left-wing Mongols, Yang Zhen and Deng Tianhe, the two imperial attendants, took the two hundred men of Tiancewei and left Beijing to Zhangjiakou with Hasgan.

And Chongzhen's three years have passed suddenly, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the end of the year.

The area around Jingshi in the Ming Dynasty is still dry, not only does it not rain in the summer, but there has not been a single snowfall since the beginning of winter.

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen took precautions before the rainy day, and set the idea of storing and transporting grain to the cabinet, the household department and the yamen, the governor of Caoyun, and buying grain from the south and even overseas, so that they could transport countless southern grain to the Hubu warehouse before the Grand Canal was frozen.

By the end of November, the Hubu warehouses along both sides of the Tongzhou Canal, especially the grain depots that had been repaired and expanded since the first year of Chongzhen, were full of all kinds of grain that had been purchased and transported in advance.

More than 360 large granaries are filled with rice from the south, potatoes and grains from the north, as well as sweet potatoes that are now being cultivated in both the north and the south.

These grains, which are mainly coarse grains, will be continuously transported to Liaodong, Xuanda, Guihua and Hezhong after a short stay in the Hubu warehouse.

Rice and sweet potatoes from the southern regions, which had not yet experienced drought, would then be transported by sea to the north by the Nanjing Hubu and the Fujian and Zhejiang Governors' Mansions, either ashore in Tianjin, transferred to the Beijing Division, or transported to Lushunkou and Juehua Island for storage, and then distributed to the garrisons there.

Emperor Chongzhen had previously sent a letter to the political envoys of the north and south to inform Chinese and foreign maritime merchants of the method of reducing and reducing tariffs on rice, and they also began to show results one after another.

Not only the rice purchased from Nanyang and Korea by Nanyang Company and Dongying Company, but also from Nanyang and North Korea, was continuously transported to Tianjin.

Moreover, the merchant ships belonging to the Portuguese and Dutch from Manraka, Annam, Siam, and Batavia also carried large quantities of rice to Guangzhou and Ho Kyong Ao, and directly carried out barter trade with the Nanyang Company.

Wu Weihua, Gao Qiqian, Zhang Xiang and others commanded this Nanyang company, which had swelled into a behemoth in just over a year, using pig iron produced in Foshan, tea produced in Fujian and Zhejiang, silk produced in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and porcelain produced in Jiangxi, and Portuguese merchants and Dutch merchants directly exchanged rice from Nanyang, and then transported it to the north of the Ming Dynasty by inland rivers and land.
