[This chapter is a bit exaggerated, let's just take a look]

In the blink of an eye, the time came to 1883, and the Yan family spent another three years peacefully. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In three years, there are places that have changed a lot.

Yan Xueyi has married Xiao Mei home, and this year (referring to 1883), Chang Yuxin is also pregnant with a child, who is expected to be born in November.

The development of the Gan's firm was terrifying, and it continued to sell all kinds of commodities produced in Yuanhe City to all parts of the country, and more than 1,500 counties across the country had the branch of the Gan's firm, which is enough to prove how huge the Gan's firm is.

The development of the first floor of the world is stable, although the first floor of the world is still controlled by the Yan family, but the Yan family only has one layer of interests left, and the remaining nine floors are all sent out, you must know that the annual income of more than 20 first floors in the world is more than 10 million taels of silver, who does not covet this piece of fat, if you are not worried that you will not run the first floor of the world, I am afraid that even the interests of the Yan family will be eaten, it was because the Yan family found that the Manchu magnates beat the idea to the first floor of the world, The Yan family took the initiative to give up the income of the first floor of the world to protect themselves.

Yan's Money Village, the largest money village in the country, occupies nearly half of the market, has thousands of branches, has a total deposit of more than 100 million taels of silver, and earns nearly 10 million yuan per year, but most of the income is also given away by the Yan family.

The fact that Yan's Bank was able to develop such a large scale was mainly due to the huge cash flow of the Yan family, and the Yan Family had several silver runs, but with the help of the Yan Bank, the silver was easily taken out, and the run was dissipated, and several runs not only increased the credibility of the Yan Bank, but also greatly increased the reputation of the mountains and rivers issued by the Yan Bank.

Since a money bank that is about to close down has turned around after the passage of mountains and rivers treasure banknotes, the country's money banks have slowly passed mountains and rivers treasure banknotes, and the business of Yan's money has been robbed a lot, after all, the regulations of Yan's money village have already been listed, if other money banks can formulate better conditions than Yan's money bank, and can also pass mountains and rivers treasure banknotes, they can rob a lot of Yan's money business, but Yan money village does not care, now the mountains and rivers treasure money has a tendency to replace silver as the currency in circulation, so Yan money village quickly gave most of the income to the Manchu magnates, As long as the Yan clan has the right to print money.

So what is the basis for Gan's Commercial Bank and Gan's Money Bank to expand so many semicolons in a few years? The Yan clan can't cultivate so many people, and they can't be trusted at will when recruited by the outside world.

Thanks to the popularization of primary school education in Yuanhe City, a large number of "primary school students" who can know basic knowledge and are loyal to Yan Xueyi have been cultivated, so that the Yan family has enough manpower to establish a branch of the Yan family and the Yan Qian Zhuang in almost every county.

Now the people of the whole country know that the Yan family is rich and rivals the country, whether it is Qiao Zhiyong, Hu Xueyan or the Thirteen Elements, the wealth and influence are not as good as the Yan family.

In the eyes of the top magnates of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Yan family has been fattened, and they can slaughter the Yan family when they find an opportunity, and they usually have the opportunity to cut meat on the Yan family, and the Yan family also keeps giving in to gain enough time, giving up a large number of interests that originally belonged to the Yan family, but there is one place that the Yan family is voluntary, that is, Li Hongzhang's Beiyang Sailor will receive a large donation from the Yan family every year, the amount is as high as one million taels of silver, so that the Beiyang Sailor has developed much faster than in the previous life.

Compared with the apparent strength of the Yan clan exposed to the outside world, the development of Yuanhe City, which is hidden behind, is more important.

How can you describe the city of Genhe?

Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.

There should be an industrial base in Yuanhe City, but there is no more important oil industry, after all, SC oil reserves are very small, and Yan Xueyi can't get the oil out of thin air.

The most important steel industry in Yuanhe City, the annual output of steel can reach an astonishing 200,000 tons (in 1883, Russia produced 220,000 tons of steel, France 500,000 tons, and the small capital is 2,000 tons), but Yuanhe City is too small to use so much steel, so it does not need to start at full capacity, if necessary, it can be started at full capacity at any time.

At present, the arsenal can manufacture 1,000 rifles, 500 pistols, 50 heavy machine guns, 50 60 mm mortars, 20 75 mm breech guns (field guns), 2 million rounds of various bullets, 100,000 grenades, and 30,000 shells of all kinds every month.

There are countless factories left, such as machine tool factories, steam engine factories, textile factories, clock (instrument) factories, pharmaceutical factories, hardware factories, match factories, soap factories, glass factories, paper factories, bicycle factories, and large and small scales.

You must know that at this time, the population of Yuanhe City has exceeded the 500,000 mark, and 100,000 workers have entered various factories to work, producing various commodities and selling them all over the country through Gan's trading houses.

In 1882, the goods produced in the entire Yuanhe City (not all commodities can be sold to the outside world, iron products and the like, after all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty controlled the private mining of iron ore) were sold through the Gan firm to obtain a total of more than 1,300 taels of silver, if all kinds of iron products can be sold, the output value will be doubled.

Just because of the sale of goods produced in Yuanhe City, you can see how much wealth the Yan clan has.

There is a strong industrial production capacity, and there must be a matching military force, otherwise the Yan clan will become a fat sheep to be slaughtered.

At present, there are more than 23,000 regular soldiers and recruits of the Yuanhe City Garrison, reaching the predetermined strength of Yan Xueyi to occupy the entire Siqi Province, and when the recruits become regulars, more than 23,000 people will be reorganized into four brigades and one regiment, and the four brigades will serve as operational units to fight in all directions, leaving one regiment to defend Yuanhe City.

Each brigade has two infantry regiments, an artillery battalion equipped with 24 75 mm field guns, a cavalry battalion, and a guard battalion, and each brigade has about 5,000 people.

However, after the reorganization, it will take a certain amount of time to run in the training, and after the completion of the run-in training, Yan Xueyi believes that with 20,000 modern troops, it is enough to completely occupy the four provinces, and no matter how many troops the Manchus send, they will return in vain.

Even Yan Xueyi can defeat the capital with an army of 20,000, but what's the use of this? An army of 20,000 is not enough to unify the whole country, so it is better to occupy the four provinces first, and then slowly try to do it.
