People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 5 It's just a few hundred pounds
Governor Swan's actions were very efficient. After chatting with Tang Sen for a while, he couldn't sit still. He called his servants to lift up a box full of gold coins, and Dang even went to the fort where the navy was stationed.

"Mr. Tang, please wait for a moment. I think Colonel Norrington would be happy to meet with you in person to discuss the matter of escorting Mr. Tang across the Caribbean Sea."

Tang Sen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Port Royal has a beautiful view. I plan to stay for a while. Besides, I still have to recruit people and buy ships."

The first step in the procurement plan is to find Jack Sparrow. Without the magical compass in his hand, let alone six months, even if you give yourself six years, you may not be able to complete the procurement task. The captain of his own pirate ship didn't know where he was wandering in the sea, and Tang Sen didn't plan to waste time looking for him in the sea.

During the chat with Governor Swan just now, Townsend learned that Colonel Norrington was about to be promoted to Brigadier General. If I remember correctly, the day of the other party's promotion ceremony was also the day when the plot started.

Miss Elizabeth Swan participated in Norrington's promotion ceremony and accidentally fell into the sea from the castle. The Aztec gold coin she was carrying touched the sea water and was sensed by the Black Pearl. That night, the Black Pearl attacked and almost destroyed the ship. Port Royal, and Miss Swan.

On this day, Jack Sparrow landed in Port Royal in order to seize the ship.

He could just sit on the sidelines and wait for Jack Sparrow to come to his door.

As for the attack on the Black Pearl, in Tang Sen's view, it was harmful and not beneficial to him. After all, both the navy and ordinary citizens in Port Royal could help him.

If you want to avoid the attack, you just need to get that Aztec gold coin before that day comes.

Governor Swan naturally didn't know how many thoughts flashed through Tang Sen's mind at this moment. He said seriously: "Mr. Tang, don't worry about recruiting manpower. I will send someone to do it. I will definitely recruit the best for Mr. Tang." sailor."

"Don't bother, I'm still used to doing it myself." Tang Sen rejected Governor Swann's overtures, and said, "But there is still one thing that needs the Governor's help."

He paused, then continued: "I'm new here, and I haven't found a place to live yet. I wonder if there is a property with a better location and less noise in Port Royale. I plan to buy a house for myself."

Governor Swan raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "Purchase? If Mr. Tang is not planning to live for a long time, renting is enough. There are many villas on the mountainside, which cost less than ten pounds a month or two. If you buy it, at least you need Hundreds of pounds."

"It doesn't make any difference to me." Tang Sen shook his head with a smile, and said, "Leasing is inconvenient, and I only live for ten days and half a month. There is no need to waste energy for a few hundred pounds."

"A few hundred pounds??" Governor Swan's expression froze.

Although he has seen the other party's arrogance, Governor Swan still can't get used to the other party's style of spending money like water.

"How much wealth is this Easterner? Could it be that the land in the East is really full of gold as in the legend?"

Greed arose in Governor Swan's heart, but it disappeared quickly. He was old and very satisfied with his current life, so there was no need to provoke disputes. , and carrying such a huge amount of money, the background is not small.

I am not a pirate. Money is a good thing, but family and stability are more important than money. This is the style of Governor Swann.

Tang Sen has been observing Governor Swan's face, seeing the other's face change several times, and finally calmed down, he felt certain.

He chose to start throwing money from Governor Swann after careful consideration. He doesn't have any self-protection power now, and he can't handle anyone who is greedy for him. There must be a stepping stone. Looking at the whole In Port Royal, I am afraid that only the governor who puts his heart on his daughter and obeys the rules can restrain his greed.

Townsend had no doubts that if he went directly to Colonel Norrington, the other party would probably not mind accusing him of being a pirate and seize all his property directly.

Although the future brigadier general was quite infatuated in the plot of the movie, he can't be called justice, let alone obey the rules.

In other words, anyone who became a naval officer in the age of great voyages could not be called abiding by the rules. What they earned was money from colonization, and the word colonization itself contained violence and plunder.

What's more, in this era, the privateer license has not yet been invalidated.

"Governor Swann?"

Seeing the other party's silence for a long time, Tang Sen reminded: "What are you thinking? So engrossed?"

Governor Swan was stunned, and quickly adjusted his expression, and said: "Sorry, I was just thinking, since Mr. Tang only lives for ten days and a half months, there is no need to buy a house. I have a lot of vacant rooms here. If Mr. Tang doesn't If you don't like it, how about staying here?"

"This is too disturbing to the governor." Tang Sen was overjoyed. He mentioned the purchase of a house just now in order to induce the other party to say these words.

Before Governor Swan could respond, Tang Sen said decisively: "I feel uneasy about eating and living for free. In this case, the money originally used to buy a house should be exchanged for rent for these days."

Governor Swan was stunned for a moment, reflexively ready to be polite, when he heard Tang Sen continue to say: "The governor just said that it takes a few hundred pounds to buy a house? Forget it, just round it up, let's count it as a thousand pounds, I will I will send it to the governor later."

"."

The words that were just about to say no were swallowed by Governor Swan.

This person...however this person talks and shuts up is money!
It was said before that the money donated to Port Royal and the Navy can be accepted safely, but the rent for more than ten days is one thousand pounds?Who will believe it?This already looks like a blatant bribery, right?

If this is accepted, there will be no way for myself and this oriental to maintain a simple relationship between the governor and the guests.

However, Governor Swan couldn't think of a reason to refuse the huge sum of money delivered to his door.

"Governor?" Tang Sen interrupted Governor Swan's hesitation, and said, "Is it a little less? How about I add more?"

"No, no, no!" Governor Swan was startled, the money came so easily, even Governor Swan felt a little uneasy holding it, he quickly waved his hand and said: "I'm just thinking about how to entertain Mr. Tang, how about it, the second floor There is a room with a particularly good view, with a panoramic view of Port Royal, and I will have someone clean it up."

"Then trouble the governor."

It seems that enough money has been spent, and further spending may have the opposite effect.

However, my goal has been preliminarily achieved. From now on, at least in Port Royal, Governor Swan will not become my resistance, but will become my help. With the endorsement of Governor Swan, there is no need to worry about safety for the time being.

Compared with security, thousands of gold coins are nothing.

"You don't need to be so pretentious. Mr. Tang, as my honored guest, can just call me by my first name." Governor Swan introduced himself: "Wetherby, Wetherby Swan."

"Yes, Mr. Swan."

"By the way, Mr. Tang has met my daughter Elizabeth just now. She also lives on the second floor. I think she will be very happy to meet a gentleman from the East." Governor Swan said.

Tang Sen smiled slightly:
"I'm looking forward to meeting Miss Swan."
