People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 7 I am sorry
"Games?"

There was a humming from the pier, and the sailors murmured among themselves, wondering what the Oriental was trying to do.

But under the temptation of ten gold coins, several sailors crowded in front of Tang Sen soon.

Tang Sen looked at these people. Some of them had gray hair and wrinkled faces, some were tall and muscular, but the same thing was that they were all unkempt, and exuded the unique fishy and rancid smell of living at sea all year round.

"This game is very simple." Tang Sen didn't hold back, picked up a gold guinea coin, and said, "I will toss this gold coin, and you guys guess whether it will land on the front or the back. Those who guess correctly will enter the next round, and those who guess wrong will enter the next round." disuse."

"Until there is only one person left, then he will get ten gold guinea coins."

"."

Several sailors looked at each other, and the gray-haired sailor asked cautiously, "Sir, are you serious?"

"Of course." Tang Sen said with a smile: "Let's start, front or back?"

"I'll choose the front, sir." The old sailor looked at the soldiers behind Tang Sen, a little uneasy and confused.

He didn't know what was the point of doing this, and he didn't think that winning this so-called small game could really get gold coins. He thought it was just a way for big shots to play tricks on people like himself.

But under the watchful eyes of the soldiers, he did not dare to leave.

The other sailors also spoke one after another and made their own choices.

"Very good." Tang Sen lightly tossed the gold coin in his hand, and in the sight of everyone, the golden light under the sun quickly fell on the ground, making a crisp sound, twirled a few times, and lay down smoothly .

The portrait on the obverse of the gold coin shines brightly.

"Congratulations, both of you, you guessed it right." Tang Sen picked up the gold coin and said, "In contrast, the gentlemen who guessed the back, you can leave for now."

The sailor who guessed wrong turned around and returned to the crowd with a confused look on his face, leaving only two sailors who guessed right still standing in front of Tang Sen.

In addition to the old sailor before, there is also a sailor with dark skin and a shiny head.

"It's a very simple game, isn't it?" Tang Sen looked at the two finalists and said, "Let's continue, front or back?"

"Front, still front, sir." The old sailor lowered his head slightly.

The other sailor looked at the old sailor and said decisively, "The back."

"Oh, it seems that this round may be decided." Tang Sen observed the expressions of the two sailors, smiled mysteriously, raised his hand and threw out the gold coin.

Ding--

The gold coin landed at his feet and spun continuously. Before the result was about to be displayed, Tang Sen gently stepped on the gold coin.

"Gentlemen, you don't seem very looking forward to it, can you tell me why?"

The black sailor curled his lips indistinctly, and said in a low voice: "There is no such thing as a good thing that you can get ten pounds and ten shillings by guessing heads and tails. No one with brains will believe it. I am really crazy to come up."

"Really?" Tang Sen looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "Well, if you give up this game, I will give you a shilling. Of course, if you give up, no matter whether the gold coin is front or back, the next This gentleman will win automatically, will you?"

"A shilling?" The black sailor stared sharply, "For nothing?"

Ten guineas are a huge sum of money for sailors, and they dare not even dream about it, but one shilling is much more approachable. Drunk all night, and even had money left over for a pound of beef.

Townsend turned his head and looked at Warrant Officer Tom: "Warrant Officer, I don't have a neutral wire, can you lend me a shilling?"

"Of course, Mr. Tang." Warrant Officer Tom couldn't figure out what Tang Sen was doing, but it was only a shilling. Naturally, he would not refuse, so he took out a shilling coin from his pocket.

Tang Sen took the coin, handed it to the black sailor, and said, "One shilling is free, but you will be disqualified from the game, are you sure?"

"Of course! Sir!" The black sailor took the silver coin with a smile on his face: "You are too generous. I apologize to you for my rashness."

"I accept your apology." Tang Sen smiled politely and said, "At the same time, I express regret for what you will see next."

He gently moved away from the toes that were stepping on the gold coin, and the scepter, coat of arms and crown on the back of the gold coin were shining brightly.

"It seems that you should have won this game."

Tang Sen picked up the gold coin, stacked it with the other nine guinea coins, and handed it to the old sailor: "Congratulations, sir, although you guessed wrong, but because your opponent gave up the game, you automatically won the game. "

The smile on the black sailor's face suddenly froze, and at the same time, a wave of exclamation erupted around him.

"No way? Really?"

"That's ten gold coins! My God!"

"Fake it? How could someone spend so much money on such a boring game?"

"Are you blind? That color, that shape, what else can it be if it's not a gold coin?"

"I'm dying of laughter. Someone actually gave up ten gold coins for one shilling. Obviously he has already won."

"How many pennies is that worth? I can't tell."

"210 shillings! Two thousand five hundred and twenty pence! Boy! Enough for you to go home and retire!"

"."

Hearing the voices from around him, the black sailor was about to cry, but no matter what, those golden things had nothing to do with him, and even facing Tang Sen and the heavily armed soldiers behind him, he couldn't help but lie. I didn't even have the courage, so I could only squeeze back into the crowd in desperation with great regret.

At this time, the old sailor looked at the gold coin in front of him, trembled all over, and even shrank back reflexively, his voice trembling: "Sir, is this a joke?"

"Sometimes, luck is more important than choice, isn't it?" Tang Sen took the old sailor's hand and poured the gold coins into his hand, "Now, they are yours, tell me, how do you plan to use them?"

"I, I." The old sailor's legs softened, and he almost lost his footing. He wanted to speak, but his voice became hoarse: "I, I don't know, I never thought about it."

He instinctively clenched the gold coin in his hand, the heavy and hard feel was so real.

"It's real I'm not dreaming"

His tears flowed out all at once, filling the vertical and horizontal wrinkles and gullies, his eyes were blurred so that he couldn't see the faces of the people around him clearly, and he could only hear those crazy exclamations.

"I've never had so much money. I'm an old guy. My son died in the hands of pirates long ago. In order to raise my granddaughter, I dragged my useless body out to find a job."

"I can't do heavy work. I can't make more than two shillings a month. It's too much money. I can't make it for the rest of my life."

He fell to his knees with a thud: "Sir. I will always be grateful for your generosity"

"Now you can change jobs, can't you?" Tang Sen helped the other party up and said, "Go, I think you can't wait to share this joy with your family."

"Warrant officer, I think Port Royal should be able to guarantee the safety of citizens' property?" He turned his head and said to Warrant Officer Tom.

"Of course, Mr. Tang, robbery and theft are felonies in Port Royal, and the wealth you gave this gentleman is safe." Tom glanced at the sailors present, with a warning in his tone: "I don't think there will be anyone Willing to date the gallows."

Then he hesitated for a moment, leaned closer to Tang Sen, and said, "But, Mr. Tang, why did you do this? I know you are very rich, but this is a waste. An old sailor can't bring any benefits."

Tang Sen smiled and said nothing.

The benefit of this matter is not for the gratitude of an elderly sailor, but to convince the sailors present that they will do what they say and are really willing to give real money.

Money, fame, and power always complement each other. For a person with unlimited money, how to transform money into fame and power is the most important thing.

Only with these can I quickly accumulate enough strength to face the legendary ship sailing between life and death, and the deep-sea Hades who controls life and death, as an unarmed ordinary person.

Spending money to make Governor Swann his own is just the first step. Next, it's time to let the whole Port Royal know his name.

"Well, let's move on to the next game."

Townsend opened his arms and looked at the red-eyed sailors on the pier.

"The next reward is fifty gold coins. Is there anyone willing to participate?"
