People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 3 The Last Aztec Gold Coin

Spending money is a technical activity.

For Tang Sen, the skill of spending money lies in how to do the most with the least money, and the biggest worry is always the lack of money.

But now, Tang Sen unfortunately lost this trouble.

But a new worry arises, how to spend money while keeping yourself safe.

Although life in this world is not worth mentioning, there are probably not a few people who are willing to take risks for gold coins. It is true that Port Royal has strict enforcement of the law because of the presence of the English Navy, but this does not mean that they can be unscrupulous.

It is a stupid thing to use one's own life to test the darkness of human heart. Tang Sen thinks that his life is very valuable, so he can't do the act of directly throwing gold coins on the street to recruit troops.

Tang Sen walked out of the clothing store with a completely new look.

The upper body is a white undershirt with a light blue silk vest, a black overcoat, and tight white trousers. Originally, according to the dressing habits of England in this era, the trousers had to be worn over the knee. socks, but Tang Sen really couldn't accept the behavior of a big man wearing tube socks, so he simply put on a pair of long riding boots.

Naturally, I would not accept that I would wear a white wig like other English elites. I just cleaned the dirty and greasy hair and combed it behind my head to reveal a shiny forehead.

This outfit looked a bit weird in the current popular outfits, but combined with Tang Sen's oriental face, it appeared unexpectedly decent and mysterious.

Of course, the price is not cheap. This whole outfit cost nearly ten pounds, which is 20 years' salary of an ordinary maid.

But for Tang Sen, this is essential. The so-called man depends on clothes, and Buddha depends on gold clothes. A poor man holding a bag of gold coins in his hand is very likely to attract soldiers' investigation and thieves' coveting. Holding a bag of gold coins, that is nothing more than a normal thing.

"Next, it's time to get down to business."

Tang Sen looked over the low roofs of the port town and looked at the majestic castle on the mountainside.

"Go and give a big gift to my dear Mr. Governor."

The Governor's residence is on the hillside, overlooking the entire Port Royal. Although the entire Port Royal is considered prosperous in the Caribbean, it is not worth mentioning compared to England.

Governor Swan didn't have much ambition, and he wasn't going to go any further. He was satisfied with guarding Port Royal. Like the fathers of most latecomers, most of his energy was spent on his daughter, Elizabeth Swan.

"I heard that Colonel Norrington is about to be promoted." Governor Swan stood in front of the window, his doting face clearly revealed: "Although the title document has not been delivered, it will be this month."

"Really?" The girl standing next to him responded, her black and white eyes were only staring out of the window, anyone could tell that she was not interested in this topic.

"It's really young and promising." Governor Swan has long been used to his daughter's behavior, and continued: "Although there are pirates everywhere in the Caribbean, for people like him, they are all opportunities to make meritorious deeds. He is still so young, and with a few more years, he may be able to make further progress."

"I'm sure he can do it." Elizabeth was a little tired of her father's endless praise for Norrington, and changed the subject: "I think, father has already thought about the gift to give at Colonel Norrington's inauguration ceremony?"

"Of course, of course!" Governor Swan nodded: "I think a sword that is delicate and sharp enough is suitable for him. Mr. Brown in the blacksmith shop has a well-known craftsmanship. I have already placed an order—"

"Oh, Will's master." Elizabeth's eyes lit up, and her expression brightened immediately, "Why don't you let Will build it directly? His craftsmanship is no worse than Mr. Brown's."

Seeing Elizabeth's expression, Governor Swan sighed helplessly, and said, "This is a very important gift, Elizabeth, Mr. Turner may not be able to do it."

"but--"

Elizabeth was about to say more when there was a light knock on the door.

Governor Swan was relieved. Once his daughter mentioned the craftsman apprentice, he would talk endlessly. He was never willing to forcefully stop Elizabeth, but he really didn't want Elizabeth to mix with that apprentice named Will Turner. Daughter, can't you follow that kid to forge iron in the future?

"It seems to be business." Governor Swan said with a smile: "Generally speaking, the housekeeper will not disturb me at this time."

"The weather is fine today, Elizabeth. Why don't you go to the fort? Colonel Norrington would like to spend time with you."

Elizabeth pursed her lips and didn't respond anymore. She opened the door first. The butler in a black double-breasted coat was standing at the door, and saw Elizabeth hastily bent over to salute.

"My lord, there are visitors."

Governor Swan's eyes followed Elizabeth's back until the other party walked down the corner of the stairs, and then he came back to his senses, and said, "What kind of visitor is worth interrupting my conversation with Elizabeth?"

"A distinguished guest from the East, he is waiting in the hall with his entourage." The butler replied with a serious face.

"Oh?" Governor Swan raised his eyebrows: "Oriental? This is rare, especially if you can add a distinguished prefix."

The butler lowered his head slightly, gently rubbing the smooth gold coin with his hands behind his back.

A guest who can casually give a guinea gold coin as a reward is naturally considered honorable.

At this time, Tang Sen stood calmly in the luxuriously decorated living room, holding a wooden box the size of a human head in his arms.

Not far behind him, several plainly dressed civilians stood at the door with restrained expressions, with several large wooden boxes at their feet.

The sound of footsteps came from the stairs. Tang Sen raised his head and saw a young girl holding her skirt and lowering her head. The silver-white aristocratic dress outlined her waist, and under the neckline , extruding a white and bottomless ravine.

"Elizabeth Swan." Tang Sen said the name silently in his heart.

As one of the protagonists of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Tang Sen naturally has no impression of him. To be honest, when the other party appeared in front of him alive, the classic and generous face was indeed amazing. However, what Tang Sen thought was more important. What is more is not worldly desires, but what Elizabeth holds, the Aztec gold coin.

The cursed pirates of the Black Pearl searched hard in the sea, trying to collect all the Aztec gold coins, and the one in the opponent's hand was the last of the 882 Aztec gold coins.

In the plot, Miss Swan accidentally fell into the water wearing an Aztec gold coin, which led to the Black Pearl. Not only was she taken away by pirates, but Port Royal was almost destroyed, which led to many subsequent adventures.

Elizabeth raised her head and glanced over Tang Sen's face. She was stunned for a moment by the unusual face, but she didn't say hello and walked out of the hall without stopping.

Naturally, Tang Sen wouldn't open his mouth about things, and still kept his eyes on him, but secretly planned in his heart.

"The role of the last Aztec gold coin is very important, so we have to find a way to get it."

"In order to complete the plan, the Black Pearl will have to contact sooner or later, but how and when to contact must be done in my way."
