Chapter 69: Three Years (Part II)
In addition to the army, martial artists are also one of the foundations of the Yun clan, not counting the number of warriors in the Yun family's army, the number of warriors owned by the Yun clan has exceeded a hundred, mainly the Yun clan members and the small family members who are loyal and have always followed the Yun clan.
At present, there are as many as five martial artists of the ninth order of the Yun Clan, namely Yun Zheyan, Yun Yuanzhong, Yun Qi, Yun Ji and Yun Yi, except for Yun Yi, the other four are all over thirty-five years old, and the possibility of promotion to innate in the future is very small.
And Yun Hao, Yun Kui, and Yun Qing are already the acquired eighth-order martial artists, maybe in another year or two, the three of them may become the acquired ninth-order martial artists, as for the innate, don't think about it, in addition, there are two acquired eighth-order martial artists in the hands of the Yun family, namely Shi Mincai and Lin Zhe, both of whom serve in the Yun family's army.
There are relatively few middle-level martial artists, only eight people, and most of the remaining martial artists belong to low-level martial artists, mainly because the Yun clan's income has increased greatly in the past few years, and a lot of money has been spent in the outside world to buy medicinal materials for less than ten years to cultivate martial artists, and people with ordinary talents can practice martial arts, which has led to a large increase in the number of low-level martial artists in the hands of the Yun clan.
The army and martial artists are the foundation of the Yun Clan, there is no limit to the number of martial artists, but the number of martial artists is strictly limited by cultivation resources and time, and it is very difficult to cultivate a large number of middle-level and high-level martial artists, and low-level martial artists are not as good as the army.
As for the army, the ancestors of the Yun clan were favored by the founding emperor of the Dali Empire, so there was the Yunhua Yun clan, except for Yun Yi, the loyalty of the Yun clan to the Dali Empire is still relatively high, so the Yun clan strictly abides by the laws of the Dali Empire and will not recruit troops beyond their duties.
Even so, three years have multiplied the Yun clan's force on the surface, but secretly, Yun Yi also has several forces in his hands: a martial arts force with a number of about 100 people, a firearms force with a number of about 1,000 people, a security force transformed from the Youyun family army with a number of about 500 people, and two intelligence organizations that are non-combat forces.
Putting aside the first three for the time being, the focus is still on the intelligence organizations in Yunyi's hands - Xunfeng and Tianmu.
Under normal circumstances, the major forces in the land of Shenzhou have their own sources of intelligence, but the Yun clan has been "shrinking" in Yunhua County silently and does not communicate much with the outside world, and the intelligence information is relatively backward, but the main reason why the Yun clan does not establish an intelligence organization is that the Yun clan's funds are relatively small, and it takes a lot of money to support the operation of a small intelligence organization.
The current Yun clan is not short of money, the elders' thoughts Yun Yi doesn't know, Yun Yi in order to be able to keep an eye on the changes in the outside world, he established two intelligence organizations, the initial capital is 10,000 gold on one side, each independent. development.
In the three years of development, there are more than 30 core members of Xunfeng and Tianmu, more than 200 internal members, and thousands of peripheral members, and both organizations can barely cover all the states and counties of the Great Li Empire.
There are ordinary people and martial artists among the members, but the warriors are all low-level martial artists, although there are sufficient funds, but the establishment time of the two intelligence organizations is still too short, and there is not much hidden information collected at all, if you want to make Xunfeng and Tianmu useful, it will take enough time for them to develop, Yunyi believes that one day Xunfeng and Tianmu can develop into the top intelligence organizations in the land of Shenzhou.
With Xunfeng and Tianmu in hand, Yun Yi could feel that the undercurrent surging in the back of the Great Li Empire was even more intense.
The frail and terminally ill emperor Fang Yao no longer cares about political affairs, and he can't even speak a complete sentence, the whole person is confused, and he is not far from death, and the political affairs of the Dali Empire are discussed and solved by a cadre of important ministers and emperors and grandchildren.
The six dragons are becoming more and more intense, and various events such as corruption and dismissal will occur from time to time, which is that they are fighting in secret, wanting to weaken each other, and there are more other secret hands, and there are also some emperors and grandsons who are not strong and want to join in the battle for succession, and they are frequently active.
The Yunhua Yun clan, whose strength has skyrocketed, has become the object of the emperor's sons and grandsons, even if Yun Yuankai repeatedly refuses, there is already an endless stream of people who come to the door to woo him, if the current Yun clan is co-opted, as long as the Yun clan provides funds, its help is no worse than the seven surnames and twelve clans, and even surpasses it.
The co-optation of the emperors and grandsons has become a crisis for the Yun clan, and if there is an emperor and grandson who resent the Yun clan for refusing to win over them in the future, then the Yun clan will be in danger.
Fortunately, the strength in Yunyi's hands has developed very quickly, and it has been self-preservation.
The outside world is more concerned about the development of the Yun family, and the number of spies in Yunhua County has increased dramatically, but Yunyi's "career" is better hidden, Yunhua County is vast and sparsely populated, and it is difficult for spies from other forces to find it.
Although it is difficult for outsiders to discover Yunyi's "career", Yunyi's elders know more or less, after all, Yunyi directly mobilizes Yun's manpower when there is a shortage of manpower.
Yun Yi is the patriarch of the Yun clan, because of Yun Yi over the years, the Yun clan has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Yun Yi's status and voice in the Yun clan are also increasing, not to mention that Yun Yi has become a ninth-order martial artist the day after tomorrow, and he is the strongest person in the Yun clan, as long as Yun Yi says a word, basically the power of the patriarch will be withdrawn to Yun Yi's hands, and the Yun clan and even the entire Yunhua County will be controlled by Yun Yi.
In this case, no one will stop or care about Yunyi's "actions", let Yunyi do it, and no one will think that Yunyi's actions will harm Yun's, which is enough.
In the hearts of the elders, Yunyi will lead the Yunhua Yun clan to prosperity.
At present, the two most important industries of Yunyi are Qingshan and No. 1 base, Qingshan Iron and Steel Plant brings a steady stream of steel to Yunyi, and now the daily pig iron output of the steel plant is as much as 30,000 catties, and the steel output is as much as 22,000 catties.
If all the pig iron output is calculated, the pig iron output of Qingshan Iron and Steel Plant is basically one-third of the national pig iron output of the Dali Empire; If only steel production is calculated, then the national steel output of the Dali Empire will also supplement the steel output of the Qingshan Iron and Steel Plant, and Yunyi has already considered using converters to make steel, and the steel output will increase sharply at that time.
There are a lot of spies in Qingshan County, Yunyi sent people to clean up a batch, there are still many spies that have been missed, and there are many new spies, and the outside world wants to know how Yun's makes steel, in this case, the scale of Qingshan Iron and Steel Plant will not expand again, and the data of the accidental leakage of the steel plant output of the steel plant is also reduced and reduced.
Fortunately, most of the steel produced by the steel plant is digested by the No. 1 base, and if it is taken to the outside world, it will definitely cause a huge storm.
As for Base One......
