When Governor Swan returned to the mansion, he was followed by a navy in red uniforms and flintlock spears outside the gate.

Townsend hurriedly greeted him, and Governor Swan asked the soldiers to line up and said to Townesend:

"Colonel Norrington is too busy to visit in person, so I apologize to Mr. Don, but he has sent a team of elite soldiers to protect Mr. Don's safety in Port Royal."

"When Mr. Tang is about to sail, Colonel Norrington will personally lead the fleet and escort Mr. Tang."

"Thank you, Your Excellency, on my behalf, Colonel Norrington." Townsend replied politely.

Of course, it was just polite, and Tang Sen knew that Norrington was not the Governor of Swan, and he would not be smashed into his own people by gold coins, not because he didn't have enough gold coins, but because his strength was not strong enough.

It was a young officer, with military power in his hands, and in the face of his defenseless self, I am afraid that he would be more willing to ignore some secular rules and take the initiative by himself than to be donated.

Moreover, Colonel Norrington was much richer than Governor Swan, and Townsend knew a lot about the Age of Discovery, and the English navy, especially naval officers, was definitely a high-income group.

To give a simple example, Newton, the director of the Royal Mint, the scientist who was hit by an apple, earns no more than five hundred pounds a year, while the captain of a warship earns three thousand pounds a year.

This is also the reason why Townsend must attack Governor Swan first, after all, the colonel, as Elizabeth Swan's admirer, has to give face to the future father-in-law.

The facts also proved that even if the other party was unhappy with a person who tried to buy the protection of the navy with money, as long as Governor Swan opened his mouth, he had to agree to his own conditions.

Throwing money also requires skill.

Tang Sen looked at the soldiers in front of him, yes, all of them were strong, their faces did not squint, for the sake of Governor Swan's face, the colonel was not perfunctory, it was indeed elite.

"It's all said, you can just call me by my name." Governor Swan emphasized, then turned to the soldiers:

"This is Mr. Tang."

"Mr. Tang is our most honored guest, you should treat him like I would treat him and protect him well, you know?"

"Yes!" The soldiers shouted in unison.

Governor Swan smiled with satisfaction, turned around and whispered: "Although Port Royal is very safe, but it is inevitable that there are some ill-intentioned people, if Mr. Tang goes out, remember to take them with you, with these people with you, you can avoid a lot of disturbances." ”

"Mr. Swan is thoughtful." Tang Sen took a few steps forward, smiled and said to the soldiers, "Please leave it to you for the next period of time." ”

"Yes!" The soldiers shouted as they looked at Townsend without a trace.

It is a strange thing to have an Oriental who can make the governor blue-eyed and let the colonel send someone to protect him.

Townsend calmly accepted their gaze, these people were his next reliance in Port Royal.

No, it's not just Port Royal, it's an elite, and now that it's in his own hands, Townsend is not ready to return it until he completes the procurement task.

"It's still early, let's go to the port."

......

At this time, it was already the afternoon, it was the busiest time of the port, the streets and alleys were full of pedestrians, mostly people adrift at sea, finally arrived at the port, naturally idle, merchants bought supplies and resold goods, and sailors followed the familiar road into various taverns, consuming the few pennies on their bodies.

"Warrant Officer Tom, how long have you been in Port Royal?"

Tom was the commander of this small group of navy, with a neat white wig under the triangular navy hat, typical of English appearance, in his thirties, his expression was always meticulous, and he looked serious and serious.

"Report sir, three years!" Hearing Townsend's question, Warrant Officer Tom replied loudly.

"Don't be so serious, just call me Mr. Tang." Tang Sen smiled: "Look at your age, you are already married, right?" Why did you choose to become a Navy and come to the Caribbean? ”

"For the glory of England!" Warrant Officer Tom paused, saw Townesen's smiling face, and added: "And the welfare of the Navy is very good, I became in the Navy and was able to make a decent living for my family." ”

Townsend nodded, the annual income of the ordinary navy is only about ten pounds, and the annual income of a warrant officer is only a few dozen pounds, but the navy has a generous bonus, once the enemy ship is sunk or captured, the bonus will be distributed proportionally, and if you are lucky, it may be several times the annual income.

It's good news that money is very important.

Townsen's biggest headache is those who don't like money.

"Is there anything fun to do in Port Royal?" Getting the answer he wanted, Townsend stopped dwelling and changed the subject.

"There's a small theater to the south, but it doesn't open until late in the evening, and at this point in time, you can only go to the tavern for two drinks." Warrant Officer Tom said honestly.

"It's not interesting." Townsend shook his head: "Is there a glazier in Port Royal?" ”

"Yes, does Mr. Tang need to make any utensils?"

"I want to do something interesting." Tang Sen smiled mysteriously, casually threw out a few gold coins, threw them to a soldier behind him, and said, "Can you please help me run?" ”

"Make a glass box, and the extra money will be used as errands."

The soldier's face was happy, although glass was not cheap in this era, it was far from using gold coins, which were all money taken for nothing.

Warrant Officer Tom's eyes were a little hot, but he couldn't fight with his subordinates, so he had to say: "Since it is Mr. Tang's order, you must do it well, go and go back quickly." ”

"There's no need to rush." Tang Sen smiled: "Let's go to the dock to have some fun first, and you can come directly to the dock to find us." ”

Warrant Officer Tom did not know what kind of fun could be found in a place full of sailors at the docks, and the Oriental was very strange, but he naturally did not raise any objections, and the group soon came to the docks by the sea.

The docks were full of sailors moving goods, and Townsend looked out to sea to see that the merchant ship that had carried him to Port Royal was gone, and it seemed that it had left port for the next island.

An Oriental with a group of naval soldiers was very eye-catching, and many people looked at it with great interest, and they naturally did not recognize that this well-dressed gentleman might have passed in front of them in rags before, after all, for them, Oriental people almost all looked the same.

Tang Sen looked calm in the eyes of many sailors, took out ten gold coins, stacked them neatly in his hand, looked around, and said loudly: "Does anyone want to make a little money?" ”

There was a sudden silence on the dock, and the sailors stopped their movements, their eyes completely attracted by the gnick-knacks that reflected the golden light in the sun.

Some of these people may never have seen gold coins in their entire lives!

Warrant Officer Tom frowned slightly, he didn't know what the chief wanted to do, ten Gini gold coins was not a small amount of money, he didn't think anything these sailors could do was worth the price, but for the sake of his job, he gently grasped the flintlock pistol behind his back, took two steps closer, and glanced at the sailors with a cold gaze, in case someone didn't know what to do and collided with the commander.

"First... What do you need, sir? ”

A sailor stared at the gold coin in Tang Sen's hand and asked boldly.

"That's a good question." Tang Sen smiled and said, "Let's play a little game." ”

"Whoever wins, the ten gold coins are his."
