"How many ships do we have now?"

"Thirty-four." Warrant Officer Tom followed Townsend's side and whispered, "There are eight large sailing ships, and the others are small sailing ships, and in the face of the price of more than thirty percent of the market price, those captains are happy to lose a few days of freedom, and I have placed them in a remote part of the town, and no one can report it." ”

"Not bad." Tang Sen did not skimp on his praise, and said: "In just a few days, you can buy so many merchant ships, and you can still not show the wind, I am very satisfied." ”

"My subordinates don't dare to take credit, if it weren't for Mr. Tang's financial resources, I wouldn't have been able to do this kind of thing." Tom said modestly.

"Where's the supplies? Are you all set? ”

"Each ship was loaded with three months' worth of supplies, including salted pork, cheese, flour, rum, most of which came from Port Royal, and a small part was purchased by merchant ships." Tom said: "The main thing is that the number is too large, and if there are more, the movement is a bit big, and people will notice." ”

"Three months?" Tang Sen pondered for a moment: "It's enough, how is the situation on the side of the naval fortress?" ”

"Under the gold coin offensive, Captain Morgan, who manages the armory, has handed over his letter of surrender to prove his loyalty to Mr. Tang, those ordnance can be shipped out at any time, as for the grassroots soldiers, because of the rotation in the past few days, everyone has great respect for Mr. Tang, but there are many people, I am worried about the rumors, so I did not go to negotiate with them."

"You're doing the right thing." Tang Sen said: "There is no need to rush the affairs of grassroots soldiers, this kind of thing needs to be done naturally, I just need to ensure that their guns will not be aimed at me." ”

"Finally, is tonight's event arranged?"

"I've already come into contact with that maid named Jilian." Speaking of this, Tom hesitated a little: "Mr. Tang, I don't think such a person can do anything well, she is as timid as a mouse, and she can't pretend, if there is an accident, it is very likely to ruin Mr. Tang's affairs." ”

"It's better to let me do it, what Mr. Tang wants, I can take it out without knowing it."

"Tom, are you questioning my decision?" Tang Sen said indifferently.

"I'm sorry!" Tom hurriedly lowered his head: "I definitely didn't question Mr. Tang's meaning, I just wanted to better complete what Mr. Tang explained." ”

Tang Sen glanced at him, and then explained: "You can't do this thing, she has to do it." ”

"There is an old saying in the East that a hundred things are ninety, and the more we get to the end, the more cautious we must be, and we must not expose any clues that Governor Swan will associate things with us, so as not to fall short."

"Do your thing, tomorrow is going to be a wonderful day."

After the matter was discussed, Townsend and Tom parted ways, and returned to the governor's residence, and Governor Swan greeted him with a red face, and before he could get closer, he said loudly: "Mr. Tang, I have prepared for you to participate in the promotion ceremony tomorrow, and you will see if you are satisfied." ”

"Governor Swan looks more anxious than I am." Townsend joked, "Can't wait to let me go?" ”

"How is it possible, Mr. Tang said with a smile." Governor Swan laughed and said: "I wish Mr. Tang could stay in Port Royal all the time, with Mr. Don in Port Royal, the development of Port Royal is simply a rapid progress, you don't know, because you did it at the dock, many merchants are waving money to buy shops in Port Royal, and the town has to start to expand again." ”

"I didn't understand what Mr. Tang wanted to do before, but now that I think about it, Mr. Tang is giving me a big gift!"

"Mr. Swan is satisfied." Tang Sen said: "There is a big gift tomorrow, I hope Mr. Swan will not be too surprised." ”

"Then I'll have to look forward to it."

The two of them chatted and dined as usual, until Townsend returned to his room, and the day was as untouched as the days before.

It's just that Townsend stood in front of the window, looking at Port Royal at night, but he couldn't sleep.

This is the last calm before the plot begins.

In the past few days in Port Royal, he has faced the peaceful side of this world, relying on the endless money bag, he seems to be really capable of anything, but he knows very well that this is just an illusion.

I'm just in the novice village, and I haven't been exposed to the weird and terrifying side of this world at all, and when I really face those things, the role of money is better than nothing.

Trying to get Davy Jones's heart in a mortal body is impossible to be very sure, and it can even be said that this is very unlikely.

But Townsend had made all the preparations he could think of.

"Whether it's dead or alive, it's up to you."

Forcibly driving away the anxiety in his heart, Tang Sen withdrew his gaze, constantly reviewing his plan in his heart.

"Step 1, Jack Sparrow's Compass."

"Step 2, the stone chest of Aztec coins."

"Step three, David Jones' heart."

"If nothing else, wait until tomorrow and the first step will be successfully completed."

......

Townsend was woken up by a loud knock on the door.

Looking up at the window, the sky was just cloudy, and the whole of Port Royal was shrouded in a thin mist.

"What happened?" Townsend put on his coat and opened the door, and outside the door was the governor's butler, a man who had always maintained an elegant demeanor, with an anxious look on his face at this time.

"Mr. Tang, I'm sorry to wake you up." He spoke quickly: "Please check your belongings... Miss Swan's room had been burglarized, and she was awakened by a nightmare, only to find it in shambles, damn it, a thief so daring to reach into the Doge's Castle. ”

"Huh?" Tang Sen showed a surprised expression: "I remember, the Governor's Mansion has night patrol protection, right?" How could this happen? ”

He paused and asked, "Is Miss Swan alright?" ”

"That damn thief didn't hurt Miss Swan, he just swept away all the jewelry and belongings in the room." The steward was indignant: "It's not clear yet, I suspect that there is a thief, the governor is very angry, and is investigating all the servants and guards." ”

"Take me to see it." Townsend quickly put on his clothes, and followed the butler down the stairs, and saw all the servants and guards lined up in the drawing-room, and Governor Swan, who was unusually dignified, wore only a silk nightgown, and even forgot to put on a wig, and exposed the somewhat bald top of his head.

It can be seen that he has become so angry that he no longer cares about his image.

Townsend could understand him.

After all, his most beloved daughter was attacked at night, and no one could accept it.
