Chapter 5 A few hundred pounds of money

Governor Swann acted efficiently, and after a moment of small talk with Townsen, he could not sit still, beckoning his servant to carry a chest full of gold coins, and then proceed to the fortress where the navy was stationed.

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

Tang Sen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Port Royal has a good view, I'm going 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 he gives himself six years, he may not be able to complete the procurement task, and at this time, the captain of the pirate ship who has lost himself does not know where to wander in the sea, and Townsend is not ready to waste time looking for him on the sea.

During the casual conversation with Governor Swan, Townsend learned that Colonel Norrington was about to be promoted to brigadier general, and if I remember correctly, the day of the other party's promotion ceremony was the day the plot began.

Miss Elizabeth Swan attended Norrington's promotion ceremony and accidentally fell from the castle into the sea, and the Aztec gold coins she was carrying came into contact with the sea, which was sensed by the Black Pearl, which attacked that night, almost destroying Port Royal and taking Miss Swan with her.

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

You can just wait for Jack Sparrow to come to the door.

As for the attack on the Black Pearl, in Townessen's opinion, it was a harmful thing for himself, after all, both the navy of Port Royal and ordinary citizens in Port Royal could be their own help.

All you need to do to avoid the attack is to get the gold Aztec before that day comes.

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

"Don't bother, I'm still used to coming by myself." Townsend rejected Governor Swan's overtures, saying, "But there is one more thing that needs the Governor's help. ”

He paused, then continued: "I'm new to the city, I haven't found a place to live, I don't know if Port Royal has a better location, less noisy property, I'm going to buy a house to live in." ”

Governor Swan raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Purchase? If Mr. Tang is not ready to live for a long time, the lease is enough, there are many villas in the middle of the mountain, only about ten pounds in a month or two, and if you buy it, it will cost at least hundreds of pounds. ”

"It makes no difference to me." Tang Sen shook his head with a smile and said, "There are many inconveniences in renting, and I only live for ten days and half a month, so there is no need to waste energy for a few hundred pounds." ”

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

Although he had seen the arrogance of the other party, Governor Swan still had no way to get used to the other party's style of spending money.

"How much wealth is this Oriental, could it be that the land of the East is really as golden as the legend says?"

Governor Swan's heart rose greed, but soon disappeared, he is old, and he is very satisfied with his current life, there is no need to provoke right and wrong, although the other party said that he came to Port Royal alone, but as a nobleman from the East, and carrying such a huge amount of money, the background is not small.

He is not a pirate, money is a good thing, but family and stability are more important than money, this is the style of Governor Swan.

Tang Sen had been observing Governor Swan's face, and seeing that the other party's face had changed several times, he finally calmed down, and his heart was certain.

His choice to start throwing money from the Governor of Swan was naturally carefully considered, he did not have any self-protection power now, and no one could cope with his greed, there must be a stepping stone, looking at the entire Port Royal, I am afraid that only this Governor who is dedicated to his daughter and abides by the rules can restrain greed.

Townsend had no doubt that if he went directly to Colonel Norrington, he would probably not mind charging himself with piracy and directly looting all his property.

Although the future brigadier general is quite infatuated in the plot of the movie, he can not be called justice, let alone abide by the rules.

In other words, anyone who became a naval officer in the Age of Discovery could not be called a rule-abiding ... What they earn is the money they have gained from colonization, and the word colonization itself implies violence and looting.

What's more, in this day and age, the privateer license has not been invalidated.

"Governor Swan?"

Seeing that the other party was silent for a long time, Tang Sen reminded loudly: "What do you want? So fascinating? ”

Governor Swan suddenly straightened his expression and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just thinking, since Mr. Tang only lives for ten days and a half months, he doesn't need to go out of his way to buy a house, I have a lot of empty rooms here, if Mr. Tang doesn't dislike it, why don't you live directly?" ”

"It's too much of an inconvenience to the Governor." Tang Sen was overjoyed in his heart, and he mentioned buying a house just to induce the other party to say this.

Without waiting for Governor Swan's response, Townsend immediately decided: "I feel uneasy about eating and living for nothing, in this case, the money that was originally used to buy a house should be exchanged for the rent of these days." ”

Governor Swan was stunned for a moment, and reflexively prepared to be polite, when he heard Townsend continue: "The Governor just said that it costs a few hundred pounds to buy a house?" Forget it, just round it up, count it a thousand pounds, and I'll have someone send it to the Governor in a moment. ”

“......”

Just as he was about to say his words of refusal, Governor Swan swallowed them raw.

This person... How can this person open his mouth and close his mouth is full of money!

It was said that the money donated to Port Royal and the Navy could still be safely received, but the rent for more than ten days was a thousand pounds? Who believes when you say it? This already looks like a blatant bribe, right?

If this is accepted, there will be no way for him and this Oriental to maintain a simple relationship between the governor and the guest.

However, the huge amount of money sent to the door, Governor Swan really couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

"Governor?" Townsend interrupted Governor Swan's hesitation and said, "Is it a little less?" Why don't I add more? ”

"No, no, no!" Governor Swan was shocked, the money came too easily, even Governor Swan felt a little uneasy to hold it, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I'm just thinking about how to entertain Mr. Tang, so let's do it, there is a room on the second floor with a particularly good view, with a panoramic view of Port Royal, so I'll let people clean it up." ”

"Then trouble the Governor."

It seems that there is enough money smashed, and it may be counterproductive if it is smashed again.

However, his goal has been initially achieved, from now on, at least in Port Royal, Governor Swan will not be his own resistance, but will become his own help, with the endorsement of Governor Swan, there is no need to worry about security for the time being.

Compared to safety, a few thousand gold coins are nothing.

"Don't be so angry, Mr. Tang, as my honored guest, just call me by my name." Governor Swan introduced himself: "Weatherby, Weatherby Swan." ”

"Yes, Mr. Swan."

"By the way, Mr. Tang has already met my daughter Elizabeth, who also lives on the second floor, and I think she will be glad to meet a gentleman from the East." Governor Swan said.

Tang Sen smiled slightly:

"I'm looking forward to meeting Miss Swan."
