People in the heavens are as rich as the enemies of the country

To Townsend, Warrant Officer Tom's value has never been about him as a person.

Rather, it is a key that opens the door to the Navy in Port Royal.

No matter how much money he spends outside the Port Royal Navy, he will only win the favor of the soldiers in the end. But with Warrant Officer Tom as an internal agent, he has a good chance of using money to corrode the Royal Navy and seize it from the bottom up. Take control of the navy. At least control of some aspects.

Moreover, he is currently in the public eye. He is too famous and does many things that are too eye-catching. Warrant Officer Tom can perfectly replace him to do some things that are currently inconvenient to do in public.

But the basic point of all this is that Warrant Officer Tom cannot betray. Once the other party betrays, he will no longer have a place in Port Royal. That's why Townsend spends so much energy on a mere Warrant Officer.

"Mr. Tang, Warrant Officer Tom is waiting for you outside the door."

During dinner time, the butler walked over lightly and whispered to Tang Sen.

Tang Sen put down the tableware slowly, smiled apologetically at Governor Swan and Miss Swan, and said, "I'm sorry."

After two days, everyone was already quite familiar with each other. Governor Swan did not bother with the complicated etiquette, and did not even stop eating. He just said vaguely: "Mr. Tang, I forgot to tell you just now, Colonel Norrington's The promotion ceremony is scheduled for five days, and he asked me to invite you to attend the ceremony."

"What an honor."

Tang Sen's heart moved slightly.

The promotion ceremony also meant that Jack Sparrow landed on the island and the plot of Pirates of the Caribbean officially began, which was earlier than he expected.

Then, there are not many days left for him to develop stably in Port Royal.

Fortunately, the plan went smoothly.

When she walked out of the restaurant, she happened to see the maid in red, Gillian, preparing to go upstairs with a bed-warming tong. Facing Tang Sen, she quickly saluted with an unnatural expression on her face.

A maid's palace is indeed not enough for her to hide the secrets in her heart without revealing it, but fortunately she is just a maid, so in this castle belonging to the governor, she is too inconspicuous.

Tang Sen just nodded slightly, without saying a word, and walked directly out of the house along the corridor and out the door. From a distance, he saw Warrant Officer Tom holding a long strip wrapped in oilcloth and standing in the dark. Under the eye-catching tree.

"Good evening, Mr. Tom."

"Mr. Tang, just call me by my name." Warrant Officer Tom couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. He just said a simple polite word and brought the topic to the topic: "Captain Morgan, who manages the armory, is very familiar with me. At some cost, he was happy to turn a blind eye. Mr. Tang, please see, this is a brand new flintlock gun, in very good condition - "

"No need." Tang Sen waved his hand to interrupt Tom's attempt to peel off the oilcloth. "I believe you, Tom."

"Now, forget about these guns. They are of no use for the time being. Find a place to hide him. We have to go to the dock."

Tom paused and nodded. He did not ask what he was doing at the dock. Since he had decided to follow Tang Sen, he had to adapt to his duties as a personal servant.

Ask less, do more, and you will know what you need to know.

Tang Sen nodded with satisfaction at Tom's adaptability. The two of them were silent all the way, and soon arrived in the town. Tang Sen bought a large wooden box with ease, and then walked around to a remote house.

"wait for me."

Tang Sen opened the door and walked in. Not long after, he struggled to drag a large box out.

"There are gold coins in here."

Tom took over from Townsend and held the box in his arms. The heavy weight told him that the number of gold coins inside was probably an astronomical figure.

Tang Sen still did not explain the origin of the gold coins, and Tom would not ask, but his respect for Tang Sen increased even more.

No one would believe that there is a money bag in the world that can pour out unlimited gold coins. In Tom's mind, the only reason why Mr. Tang can get so many gold coins at any time is that in this Royal Port, Mr. Tang has other things. Followers, they keep Mr. Tang's gold coins and can take them out at any time when Mr. Tang needs them.

In this era, there is no such convenient thing as a bank card. Only palace staff or lords and nobles can write checks in the name of the king to pay for large-denomination transactions. However, this kind of check is only a voucher and can only be digested internally and cannot be sold in the market. circulated.

"Take out ten gold coins from it. That is your salary today." Tang Sen said calmly: "As for the other money, I need you to do something for me."

"Mr. Tang, please give me your instructions."

"Go buy a boat." Tang Sen looked at the dock: "I think, because of my game these two days, a large number of boats have gathered at the dock, and even people from nearby islands who have received the news are rushing to Port Royal."

"My request is to buy boats, buy a lot of boats. Except for those small fishing boats that can only wander in shallow waters, any sailing boats that can sail long distances cannot be spared."

"Whatever means you use, whatever name you use, whatever times you spend, I only have one request -"

"Shut up the sales manager. At least before the promotion ceremony of Colonel Norrington, I don't want to hear rumors about Mr. Tang buying a large number of ships."

It took Tom several minutes to digest the request.

Lots of ships? what is it used for? The purchasing power and dumping ability of each place are limited. It is impossible for so many ships to be used for business, so there is only one possibility.

Thinking of Tang Sen's previous behavior of asking him to buy ordnance, Tom suddenly shuddered and trembled all over.

He was not scared, but excited.

What Mr. Tang did in the past two days was indeed not just for fun, but had a greater purpose. And now that he was able to participate and even play a key role in it, his future was immeasurable.

"Yes!" He suddenly made a military salute and said, "I will definitely do my best to fulfill Mr. Tang's request!"

"Then, I'll leave the money to you. If you don't have enough money, ask me for it." Tang Sen nodded with satisfaction.

"Wait a minute, isn't this too much?" Tom suddenly exclaimed, "Don't Mr. Tang need to find someone else to look after the money with me?"

"Tom, you have proven your loyalty. I don't think I need to do these unnecessary things." Tang Sen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job, I'm optimistic about you."

It was just a bunch of numbers. Tang Sen didn't care at all. It was more meaningful to be able to use these yellow and white things that were meaningless to him to prove the other party's loyalty and even exchange the other party's gratitude.

"Yes!" Tom's blood suddenly boiled over.

This is an amount of money that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve in their lifetime. Mr. Tang actually has such confidence in himself and such heavy trust that Tom really doesn't know how to repay him.

Before the dark desire to escape with the money appeared, it was already extinguished by gratitude and the expectation of that unknown great cause.

"By the way, there's one more little thing."

"Soon, there will be a small disturbance at the Governor's residence. When the time comes, you will need to respond to two people."

"Then, bring me something back."
