That's right, expanding the original patrol team from more than 300 people to more than 800 people is the purpose of Yan Shao's visit this time.

According to the establishment of the new army at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the number of a team, that is, a company, was 152, while the number of a battalion was 659. The original patrol team was 304 people, equivalent to two companies. The guard team responsible for guarding the manor was 46 people, equivalent to a platoon, and the two teams combined made a total of 350 people.

This time, Yan Shao planned to expand the patrol team, which was originally equivalent to two companies, into a battalion, and then expand the guard team, which was equivalent to a platoon, into a company.

Don't look at the fact that less than 500 people have been added to the original number, and it is not easy to pass, after all, the patrol battalion stationed in Wuhu at this time is only more than 1,000 people, and the new army in the entire Anhui is only 4,038 people.

If Yan Shao were to make a rebellion, the harm it could cause would definitely be much greater than the uprisings in China now—————— at least there were enough people under Yan Shao.

That's why Yan Shao came to the door with 100,000 silver dollars to ask Chengxun for help, after all, this matter would be almost impossible to handle without the help of Chengxun, the governor of Anhui.

Not to mention anything else, the gun license alone is a difficult hurdle to pass, and Yan Shao can't let his army even have guns.

Of course, he can also find a way to buy a gun and then not apply for a gun license.

But if it's a few dozen people, forget it, more than eight hundred, he can't guarantee that no one in it will betray him. And as long as the news of his illegal possession of guns leaks out, I believe that many people will be willing to come to the door. Looting a fortune from him, a well-known rich man...

Or rather, I just took my life together...

"More than eight hundred," he groaned, looking at the box not far away. Seung-hoon suddenly felt that the money was a little hot. "Do you really need so much..."

"My lord..."Yan Shao's face showed a little helplessness. You should also know that I have just purchased more than 200,000 spindles from Shanghai and Japan, counting the original ones, there are about more than 300,000 pieces, which means that at least more than 30,000 workers are needed, and the factory of more than 30,000 people can not be taken care of by the original more than 300 people. What's more, there are other miscellaneous factories besides the textile factory, and I only applied for the number of people with guns this time, and this is not counting the doormen who do not carry guns..."

This time, Yan Shao told the truth. Textile mills, ash mills, flour mills, garment factories plus a shipping company, it is estimated that the number of people in the entire Yushi Group will be close to 40,000, unless Yan Shao really intends to use the patrol team as guards, otherwise it is not enough to disperse these people to various fields. In fact, except for these guards. Yan Shao also hired a lot of security guards and doormen, of course, these are only responsible for the usual guard work, and they don't carry guns, that is, they bring a baton or something...

"And you also know that Lu Dao, I have a lot of enemies outside now, and I was assassinated twice when I was in Shanghai, who knows if there will be more such things in the future, I also regret my life. Naturally, I can only put more effort and money into security..."

Nodding. After all, Yan Shao's assassination in Shanghai had also caused quite a stir, and those Japanese foreign firms were even condemned by public opinion for this.

After all, in the final analysis, the Japanese are to blame for this incident.

Of course, there are also many people who feel that Yan Shao's actions are too ruthless, and his mind is a little narrow-minded. Obviously, it was enough to announce the matter of the oil field, but he concealed it and did not reveal it, but instead seized this opportunity to severely pit the Japanese.

However, Yan Shao's doing this also made many people reluctant to provoke Yan Shao, after all, no one would want to provoke a vindictive guy.

————————————————————

After wasting his tongue for a long time, Chengxun was still reluctant to speak, and Yan Shao frowned a little. "This guy doesn't plan to just collect money and do nothing, right?"

In fact, Chengxun was also very embarrassed in his heart, after all, he had offended Yan Shao once last time, and this time Yan Shao finally came to the door again with money, if he refused, I am afraid it will be difficult to get any benefits from Yan Shao in the future.

But this time Yan Shao's request is indeed too big, more than 800 guns, this is not the time of the Republic of China. During the Republic of China, there were more than 10,000 weapons between the clans in Guangdong, and the weapons held by both sides were rifles alone, compared with the Republic of China, the Qing government's control of guns at this time was still relatively strict, of course, only relatively. However, if these people under Yan Shao's command make any trouble, then Chengxun will have to worry about his top and even his head. (Historical facts, it happened in 1926 in Pajiang, Qingyuan, Guangdong, when there was a fight between clans, and each side held more than 10,000 rifles, not to mention other weapons...) ）

It's just that the 100,000 silver dollars are also a very delicious income, and coupled with Yan Shao's current net worth, a little leakage is a wealth that Chengxun can't imagine, which also makes him a little hesitant.

Seeing that Chengxun was lightly glancing at the box full of silver dollars, and at the same time showing a worried expression, Yan Shao smiled and spoke. "Are you worried that I will follow the example of those revolutionary parties?"

"This—" He was so worried, he just couldn't say it.

Looking at Chengxun's embarrassed appearance, Yan Shao smiled and said. "Could it be that adults have forgotten what I do, I am just a businessman, how can I learn from those revolutionary parties to make chaos (even if I want to do it, it cannot be called chaos, but called revolution), adults think about it, I invested so much money in Anhui to set up a factory, if it is a rebellion, wouldn't all the money invested in the past be wasted? Even if I have money, I can't do this, not to mention that I have spent nearly a year in order to run these businesses, and these times are not something that can be bought with money..."

Hearing this, Seunghoon nodded, and he could be regarded as having made up his mind.

Indeed, if someone else, such as a certain gentry, would indeed be worried about asking for so many guns, but Yan Shao...

Now Yan Shao has invested millions of family resources in Wuhu, if he really learns from the revolutionary party to make trouble, once things fail, all the things he invested before will be in vain.

"Since everything has come to this point, then I have no choice but to agree..."After thinking about it, Seonghoon nodded.

In fact, Chengxun also breathed a sigh of relief when he did this, he was only an official for money, even if he was a governor.

Seeing that Chengxun finally agreed, Yan Shao also hugged his fists. "Thank you, sir..."

The expansion of the patrol team has been approved, and the next question is naturally the gun. took out a check for 100,000 yuan from his arms, and Yan Shao got more than 1,000 rifles from Chengxun—————— which was given as a fraction.

However, just when Yan Shao was about to leave, Chengxun said something to save him.

"What's the matter, my lord?" Stopped by Chengxun, Yan Shao showed a strange expression, he was still in a hurry to go home and do other things, but he didn't have time to stay and have lunch with Chengxun.

Seung-hoon, meanwhile, smiled and spoke. "Why is Sir in such a hurry, there are other things to do..."

"What..."

"Of course it's a good thing...", Chengxun said and stepped forward to take Yan Shao's hand and motioned for him to sit down. I remember that when my husband went to Shanghai this time, it seemed that he spent a lot of money to buy machinery, and he also bought land in Anhui to cultivate crops..."

"That's right." Yan Shao nodded. "It is true..."

Anyway, this has already been reported, and there is no way to hide it.

Hearing that there was indeed such a thing, Seongxun's face was even more joyful. "Then dare to ask sir, I don't know how much money Lu Dao invested..."

"This..."Yan Shao hesitated for a moment before replying. If someone else asks, maybe I'll hide it, but since it's an adult, I have to answer it truthfully. This time, I invested about 5 million yuan on the original basis, plus the planting base, flour mills, garment factories, etc. on the Jianghuai Plain, the total amount is about 8 million..."

Although he had heard of it for a long time, Seong-hoon was taken aback when he heard such a large amount. "In this way, counting the original textile mill and the newly purchased shipping company, the total investment has reached more than 10 million..."

"That's true..."

Nodding his head, Seonghoon asked. "Then I don't know if it is possible for Mr. Lu Dao to invest another 10 million in industry, don't be suspicious, I have no intention of harming Mr...."

"This..."Yan Shao shook his head. I'm afraid it's unlikely for the time being, although there is no problem with the funds, but the problem of people is very big, now the company scene is too big, the management is seriously lacking, many people are one when two, three or even four or five people to use, if there are a few more, the company will easily fall into chaos..."

Hearing this, although Seung-hoon understood, he still had some regret on his face.

Looking at the expression on Chengxun's face, Yan Shao said a little strangely. "I don't know if you asked this just now, what the hell is it...", he thought it was strange for Seung-hoon to suddenly mention this.

"It's nothing." Seong-hoon smiled. "I believe that Mr. should still remember the "Articles of Association of the Reward Company", according to the above regulations, those who invest 8 million shares can become the first-class adviser of the Ministry of Commerce, and they will be crowned with a head. Those who raise more than 20 million shares can not only become a first-class advisor and wear the top product, but also get a special Ssangyong brand, and the three generations of children and grandchildren can also inherit the fourth-class advisor..."

"With Mr.'s investment, there is no doubt about wearing the top product, but if you want to get the Ssangyong brand, there is still a gap of 10 million, so I asked Mr. just now..."

Although there is no businessman who can raise 8 million shares in the country today, if there is an industrial group with more than 20 million shares under his rule, it will also be a great achievement for Chengxun.

Now, I'm sorry.

However, he will remind Yan Shao of this matter, in fact, he also wants to sell him a favor, after all, he received so many things from Yan Shao at the beginning, but he will not save him when he dies, even if he is thick-skinned, he will feel a little uncomfortable.
