This family itself has a private army loyal to them. These people believe in the true gods like them and have the courage to be fearless of death. If it is not too different from Confucian concepts, the court would also want to recruit more such soldiers, but those who believe in the true gods generally do not want to join the imperial army.

"It is not safe along the Guangnan Road and other ports. These pirates are quite huge. The largest of them is the old Octopus Village. They have at least a hundred boats and thousands of people under their command. If they are angry, they will even siege the city and leap land." Tian Xiaobao said these information that cannot be difficult to inquire and presented a detailed information in writing.

He knew that the boss liked it and liked his subordinates to do it, converting some activities and information into text. If there was a form, it would be even more touching to him.

At first he didn't understand. After doing it a few more times, he discovered the benefit of doing this, that is, his understanding of things has become deeper.

After a few glances at the official document written by Tian Xiaobao, Song Chen showed a satisfied expression on his face.

"How do you understand the Pu family's industries?" Song Chen asked casually. In fact, he was very concerned about this issue because he wanted to pull the Pu family out of the roots, but he did not want to cause severe social unrest in Quanzhou. Don't let Quanzhou livelihood decline because of the Pu family.

"The Pu family's legitimate business is the most profitable in coastal trade. Among them, spices account for seven layers, two layers of glass, and one layer of the other. However, the profit share of glass has been reduced this year. Money houses are also one of their income. They attract ordinary people to deposit money with an annual interest rate of 80% and then lend them to others in the form of high-interest loans to earn the difference. As far as I know, most of the money should be used by themselves," Tian Xiaobao drank the tea handed over by Song Chen, a little flattered. "It seems that because they believe in the true god, it cannot be said that it is a money house. If they call them a money house and they will be beaten, they call that business Jubaozhai."

Song Chen thought to himself that the model of this money house is the p2p of later generations. It turned out that it had been available as early as the Song Dynasty, and the Pu family obviously had self-financing.

After asking how many people saved money and borrowed money from the money shop, Tian Xiaobao didn't know, but said that there were at least more than one thousand people.

This made Song Chen look very bad. He really couldn't touch the Pu family immediately, otherwise it would cause public anger and turmoil. Think about the money he had worked hard for the rest of his life and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and thousands of families would be broken. How bad it is.

It seems that we need to master more comprehensive information before we can attack the Pu family.

"Xiaobao, don't worry about the other things about the Pu family. Focus on their industry, their operating model, how many people they hire, how much money they earn, what they pay for, who owes them money, in short, the clearer everything about these, the better, do you understand!" Song Chen knew that the order he gave was a bit difficult to implement.

Even in ancient times, when there was a weak sense of confidentiality, this information was the core secret of a family. It was not only difficult but also dangerous to ask Tian Xiaobao to obtain such difficult information.

Song Chen knew this, but this information was too important. In order to make a smooth transition, he had to do so.

"Okay!" Tian Xiaobao said seriously. Although the command given to him by the boss made him a little confused. Why is this information so important, he must implement it resolutely.

Song Chen patted his shoulder and expressed his recognition of him.

In the evening, Song Chen continued to decipher those letters. He wanted to find some beaded silk traces and decipher them, which was more difficult than imagined.

By the way, isn’t the Zoroastrianism the Zoroastrianism? Most people may not be familiar with this name. Another name can be said to be known to everyone. These three words have a deep or shallow relationship with the peasant uprisings in the following centuries.

No, Pu Shougeng clearly believes in the true god. In theory, Chen Batian is his family child and should have common beliefs. Why does the word Zorokao, which is opposite to his beliefs, appear?

There must be differences when the two discussed this. The Pu family has been believers for generations, and there is no record in the original history that they have changed their beliefs.

Then the people who change their beliefs (giving up the true god) are affirming the Chen family. God knows how disgusting the Pu family is to this change.

All those who believe in the True God hate witchcraft. The word Zorosaki is mentioned in letters from both sides. It is obvious that Pu Shougeng is accusing or sincerely advising this former family child, who is defending himself.

Not to mention that Pu Shougeng hated him, even Song Chen was very cautious about Zoroastrianism. It is said that they also had a secret ceremony of human sacrifice.

Although the letter has not been revealed, I still found a breakthrough to deal with the Pu family. Although this breakthrough is not fatal, it will also hurt them, which is a big step forward.

Song Chen often went to the construction site to check the construction of the military camp. After all, they still live in Linquan Temple, which is ultimately inappropriate. Thinking about a group of soldiers who actually wanted to live in the temple, how would those people in the court poke their backbone when they knew it.

In short, Song Chen was quite satisfied with his construction team, but he was very dissatisfied with his contractor. It was obviously a project worth 2,000 guan, but now the progress has been completed by more than half, and his coastal system has only paid 200 guan.

In other words, he, as a contractor, has given him 800 yuan. He is really a big deal. Now Song Chen has a nickname, named Song Datou.

Even though he was so poor, Song Chen still had to do a big project. Now he is preparing to build a boat yard. Even in ancient times, repairing a boat yard was a huge investment, and 20,000 guan was indispensable.

This big project can actually be directly used to do it to your own company. Anyway, Song Chen is famous and is not afraid of being told by others.

But this time he suddenly had an idea and felt that the eating habit could not be too ugly, so he would have a public bidding.

This is a new form, which is new not only for the Song Dynasty, but also for the entire world.

The bidding announcement is very interesting. The construction cycle of the shipyard is generally one year. Song Chen wrote that the construction is completed within at least half a year; the amount of 20,000 jin will be paid in the early stage. The remaining ones must be completed and accepted before the final payment will be paid.

This condition is already very harsh, and the weird ones are still here. Even if it is so low, you still have to hold an auction. Don’t think too much. This kind of auction is to be reported to the lower. The lower the shout, the more likely it is to be successful in the auction.

This is not the most bizarre thing. The most bizarre thing is that after winning the bid, you have to pay 10,000 yuan to be qualified to sign the "contract" and become Party B.

So the question is, who would be willing to be the sucker? Of course, there is, that is, Song Datou, why did he still have to conduct an open bidding and get this deposit? It was just because the "subker" wanted to make money for the court openly and openly, and he had to have a formal identity to be the sucker.
