People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 17 It's time to leave Novice Village
"How many ships do we have now?"

"34 ships." Warrant Officer Tom followed Tang Sen step by step, and whispered: "Eight large sailing ships, and the rest are small sailing ships. In the face of a price that exceeds [-]% of the market price, those captains are happy to lose a few days. Freedom, I will place them in a remote place in the town, and no one will be able to inform them."

"Not bad." Tang Sen didn't hold back his praise, and said, "In just a few days, you were able to buy so many merchant ships without revealing anything. I'm very satisfied."

"My subordinates dare not take credit for it. Without Mr. Tang's financial resources, I would not be able to do such a thing." Tom said modestly.

"Where are the supplies? Are they all ready?"

"Each ship has prepared supplies for three months under full load, including salt pork, cheese, flour, and rum, most of which come from Port Royal, and a small part is purchased from merchant ships." Tom said: "The main It’s because the number is too large, and if there are more, the movement will be a bit louder, and people will notice it.”

"Three months?" Tang Sen pondered for a moment: "It's enough, how is the situation at the naval fortress?"

"Under the gold coin offensive, Captain Morgan, who manages the armory, has handed over his vote certificate, proving his loyalty to Mr. Tang. The ordnance can be shipped out at any time. As for the grassroots soldiers, because of the rotation in the past few days, everyone respects Tang. The gentlemen are very respectful, but there are too many people, and I was worried about revealing the news, so I didn't negotiate with them."

"You did the right thing." Tang Sen said: "There is no need to worry about the affairs of the grassroots soldiers. This kind of thing needs to be done in a timely manner. I just need to make sure that their guns will not be aimed at me."

"Finally, are things arranged for tonight?"

"I have already contacted that maid named Gillian." Speaking of this, Tom hesitated: "Mr. Tang, I don't think such a person can do anything well. She is as timid as a mouse, and she doesn't Pretend, if there is an accident, it may spoil Mr. Tang's affairs."

"It's better to let me do it. I can take out what Mr. Tang wants without anyone noticing."

"Tom, are you questioning my decision?" Tang Sen asked indifferently.

"I'm sorry!" Tom quickly lowered his head: "I definitely didn't question Mr. Tang's intentions. I just wanted to better complete what Mr. Tang explained."

Tang Sen glanced at him, and then explained: "You can't do this, she has to do it."

"There is an old saying in the East that everything is one hundred and half is ninety. The more we get to the end, the more we must be cautious. We must not reveal any clues to make Governor Swan associate the matter with us, so as not to fail."

"Do your thing, tomorrow will be a wonderful day."

After talking about the matter, Tang Sen and Tom parted ways and returned to the governor's residence. Governor Swan came out with a red face, and before he approached, he said loudly: "Mr. Tang, I have prepared clothes for you to participate in the promotion ceremony tomorrow. , come and see if you are satisfied."

"Governor Swan seems to be more anxious than I am." Tang Sen joked, "Could it be that he can't wait to let me go?"

"How is it possible, Mr. Tang is joking." Governor Swan laughed loudly: "I wish Mr. Tang could stay in Port Royal. With Mr. Tang in Port Royal, the development of Port Royal is so fast. You don't know, because When you did it at the pier, many businessmen waved their money to buy shops in Port Royal, and the town had to start expanding again."

"I didn't understand what Mr. Tang wanted to do before, but now that I think about it, Mr. Tang gave me a big gift!"

"As long as Mr. Swan is satisfied." Tang Sen said, "There will be a big gift tomorrow. I hope Mr. Swan will not be too surprised by then."

"Then I have to look forward to it."

The two chatted and ate as usual until Tang Sen returned to the room. This day was as calm as the previous few days.

It's just that Tang Sen stood in front of the window, looking at Port Royal under the night, but couldn't fall asleep.

This is the last calm before the drama begins.

In the past few days in Port Royal, what he faced was the peaceful side of the world. Relying on endless money bags, he seemed to be able to do anything, but he knew very well that this was just an illusion.

I am only in Novice Village, and have never been exposed to the weird and terrifying side of this world, and when I really face those things, the role of money is better than nothing.

With a mortal body, trying to obtain the heart of Davy Jones, it is impossible to be very sure, and it can even be said that the possibility of this is extremely slim.

But Tang Sen had already made all the preparations he could think of.

"Whether it's life or death, it all depends on this."

Forcibly dispelling the anxiety in his heart, Tang Sen withdrew his gaze and kept replaying his plan in his mind.

"First step, Jack Sparrow's compass."

"The second step, the stone box of Aztec gold coins."

"The third step, the heart of Davy Jones."

"If there is no accident, the first step will be successfully completed by tomorrow."

Tang Sen was awakened by a loud knock on the door.

Looking up and looking out the window, the sky is only dimly lit, and the entire Port Royal is shrouded in a thin mist.

"What's going on?" Tang Sen put on his coat and opened the door. Outside the door was the governor's butler. This man who usually maintained an elegant demeanor looked anxious at this moment.

"Mr. Tang, I'm sorry to wake you up." He spoke quickly: "Please check your belongings. Miss Swann's room was stolen, and she was awakened by a nightmare, only to find that the room was in a mess. The thieves are so audacious to set their hands in the Governor's Castle."

"Huh?" Tang Sen showed a surprised expression: "I remember, the Governor's Mansion is protected by night patrols, right? How could such a thing happen?"

He paused and asked, "Is Miss Swan all right?"

"The damn thief didn't hurt Miss Swann, but just swept away all the jewelry and belongings in the room." The housekeeper was indignant: "It's not clear yet, I suspect there is an inside thief, the governor is very angry, and is investigating All servants and guards."

"Take me to have a look." Tang Sen quickly put on his clothes, followed the butler down the stairs, and saw all the servants and guards lined up in the living room. Governor Swann was uncharacteristically decent, only wearing silk In pajamas, he even forgot to wear a wig, exposing his somewhat bald head.

It can be seen that he is so angry that he no longer cares about his image.

Townsend could understand him.

After all, it is unacceptable for anyone to have his most beloved daughter attacked at night.
