In the past, many forces didn't understand how much money the Yan clan had, but now they know that the Yan clan is really rich, and they were extorted by Zuo Zongtang for more than one million taels of silver and materials, and they easily took out one million taels of silver to Li Hongzhang, so how much money does the Yan clan have? Some people speculate that the Yan family has at least 10 million taels of silver, and some people speculate that the assets of the Yan family exceed 20 million taels of silver.

No matter how you guess, everyone believes in one thing, that is, the Yan clan is rich, very rich, even if a hair is plucked from the Yan clan, it is enough for them to eat and drink for a lifetime.

So many people moved their minds, these people basically have little interest in the Yan family, they envy the Yan family and their partners to make a lot of money, and they don't get anything, envy turns into jealousy, and they decide to look for an opportunity to bite the next bite of meat.

Of course, with the current strength of the Yan clan on the surface, they are not afraid of other forces to do the mafia, whoever dares to do it, the Yan clan will dare to use the relationship network to fight back, don't forget that the Yan clan has used business cooperation to have a good relationship with many forces in the past few years, as long as the Yan clan pays a little price, these forces can do it.

However, the Yan family has a big business, and the business is distributed all over the country, and it is impossible to take care of it everywhere, if the overlord of a certain place has a black hand on the business of the Yan family, the Yan family will have a hard time, if there is a few more troubles, the Yan family will also be a little unbearable, and the trouble can be saved, and the use of killing chickens and monkeys will deter other forces.

It's just that the method of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys has not been able to completely curb the forces with ulterior motives, and many forces are ready to unite, so that they may not be afraid of the Yan clan's blows.

To say that many of the most eye-catching forces of the Yan clan's wealth are in the main venue of the Yan clan - Siqi Province, after all, the Yan clan is the most active in Siqi Province and has the most investment in Siqi Province, basically everywhere there are Yan firms involved, and the forces in Siqi Province can understand the situation of the Yan clan better than the forces in other regions, and they will covet the wealth of the Yan clan even more.

The Yan clan is now a rich fat meat, and everyone wants to go up and take a bite, but they are afraid that the Yan clan will fight back, so they can only calm down and look for opportunities, or find a bigger backer to share the wealth of the Yan clan together.

In the face of this undercurrent situation, the Yan clan does not have many good ways to solve it, the Yan clan is just an upstart who has risen in recent years, but they have earned a lot of wealth, fortunately they know that they can form a relationship network with interests, otherwise the Yan clan would have been eaten a long time ago.

But as the wealth of the Yan family continues to rise, when the time comes, even the former partners of the Yan family may not be able to help but attack the Yan family, the wealth is moving, who doesn't want to take a bite on this big fat meat.

To say that the wealthy businessmen who appeared in the past dynasties basically have a big backer behind them, take the Manchu Qing Dynasty as an example, the famous red-topped businessman Hu Xueyan, his backer is Zuo Zongtang, because of this big backer, Hu Xueyan's assets rose rapidly, after Zuo Zongtang was transferred to the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, presided over the affairs of the Shanghi Mining and Transportation Bureau, borrowed foreign debts for Zuo Da, raised military salaries and ordered arms, and relied on the power of the Hunan army, set up more than 20 Fukang silver numbers in various provinces, and operated traditional Chinese medicine and silk tea business, manipulated the commerce of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the capital reached more than 20 million taels, People are called officials must read "Zeng Guofan", and "Hu Xueyan" must be read for businessmen.

Contrary to Hu Xueyan, Qiao Zhiyong has no big backer, even if Qiao Zhiyong relies on his business talent to accumulate a lot of wealth, but he has become a big fat sheep, anyone can cut meat, from Qiao Zhiyong has been imprisoned several times, you can see how tragic Qiao Zhiyong is, and it is also the sadness of this era, of course, Qiao Zhiyong's tenacious survival also means that Qiao Zhiyong's business talent is unmatched.

Don't look at the relationship network of the Yan clan is very large, the top magnates of the Manchu Qing Dynasty can be co-opted, but the Yan family has no backer behind it, this is the big problem of the Yan family, although the Yan family is not afraid of those small forces, but once the top magnates of the Manchu Qing Dynasty deal with the Yan family, the Yan family will be in trouble, even if someone above speaks to the Yan family, but the Yan family will still be hit hard, once several top magnates join forces, then the Yan family will wait to destroy the family.

The Yan clan is also a little lucky, fortunately the base of the Yan clan is in Siqi Province, the governor of Siqi Province is Ding Baozhen, who is a major official to do things, knows how to be flexible, attaches importance to practical results, restricts subordinates very strictly, is honest and honest, and often donates salaries to the poor, but he is in debt because of the needs of life, and he cannot pay it off until he dies.

If there is a different governor, maybe without the help of those top magnates, a governor will just find an excuse to wipe out the Yan family.

Of course, what was said above is only when the Yan clan only has a surface.

The Yan clan also has an industrial city established by the patriarch Yan Xueyi and a powerful army, once the top magnates really have to attack the Yan clan, the Yan clan can only erect an anti-flag in advance to declare war on the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the current strength is enough for the Yan clan to conquer the four provinces, but 10,000 troops can not hold the four provinces, can only occupy the land of a province first, this is very different from occupying the entire four provinces, once the occupation of the four provinces with more than 40 million people and rich resources, that is the real success.

Towards the goal of occupying Siqi Province in one step, the Yan clan has been working hard to maintain the current situation of the Yan clan, and cannot expose their strength in advance and improve their strength as much as possible.

Those small and medium-sized forces with ulterior motives should kill chickens and monkeys to make an example of them, and those big forces and top magnates can make good friends, even if it costs a lot of money, it is worth it, all so that the Yan family has enough time to develop.

Who would have thought that an otherwise "ordinary" business family would have the heart to overthrow the Manchu rule?

When the day when the Yan clan really raises the anti-flag, I am afraid that all the forces that covet the wealth of the Yan clan will be stunned, and when the Yan clan occupies the entire Siqi Province with the power of destruction, they will only be left in panic.

At present, the attention of the Yan clan should be focused on the two places of Siqi Province and the capital, Siqi Province is the base of the Yan clan, and it cannot be chaotic, and the capital is the concentration of the top power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is necessary to know the latest news at all times in case there is a change.
