People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 15 Buy a ship, buy a lot of ships!

For Townsend, the value of Warrant Officer Tom has never been in himself.

Rather, it is a key that opens the naval gates of Port Royal.

No matter how much money I spend outside the Royal Harbor Navy's gate, I will only win the favor of the soldiers in the end, but with the internal support of Warrant Officer Tom, I have a good chance to use money to erode the Royal Navy and seize it from the bottom up. Take control of the Navy. At least some aspects of it.

Moreover, he is currently in the public eye, his reputation is too great, and many things are too conspicuous to do. Warrant Officer Tom can perfectly replace him to do some things that are currently inconvenient to show up to do.

But the basic point of all this is that Warrant Officer Tom cannot betray. Once the other party betrays, he will have no place to stay in Port Royal. That's why Townsend spent 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 unhurriedly, smiled apologetically at Governor Swan and Miss Swan, and said, "Excuse me."

After two days, everyone was quite familiar with it. Governor Swan didn't bother with the cumbersome etiquette, and he didn't 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 later, and he asked me to invite you to attend the ceremony."

"Extremely honored."

Tang Sen's heart skipped a beat.

The promotion ceremony also means that the plot of Jack Spyroden Island and Pirates of the Caribbean has officially started, which is earlier than I expected.

Then, there are not many days left for myself to develop steadily in Port Royal.

Fortunately, the plan is going well.

Walking out of the restaurant, I happened to see Ji Lian'an, the maid in red, holding a bed warming tongs and preparing to go upstairs. Facing Tang Sen, she hurriedly saluted with an unnatural expression.

The city of a maid is indeed not enough for her to hide secrets in her heart without showing her face, but fortunately she is only a maid, so in this castle belonging to the governor, she is too inconspicuous.

Tang Sen just nodded slightly, without saying a word, walked out of the residence along the long corridor, walked out of the gate, and saw Warrant Officer Tom holding a long strip wrapped in oilcloth in the night, standing on an unobtrusive Under the eye-catching tree.

"Good evening, Mr. Tom."

"Mr. Tang can just call me by my name." Warrant Officer Tom couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. He just said a simple and polite sentence, and then brought the topic to the topic: "Captain Morgan, who manages the armory, knows me very well. I At some cost, he was more than happy to turn a blind eye, Mr. Tang, please look, this is a brand new flintlock, in very good condition—"

"No need." Tang Sen interrupted Tom's movement of peeling off the oilcloth with a wave of his hand, "I believe you, Tom."

"Now, forget about these guns. They are useless for the time being. Find a place to hide him. We have to go to the pier."

Tom paused and nodded. He didn't ask what he was doing at the pier. Now that he had decided to follow Tang Sen, he had to adapt to his duty as a private servant.

Ask less, do more, what you should know, you will know naturally.

Regarding Tom's ability to adapt, Tang Sen nodded in satisfaction. The two of them were silent all the way, and soon came to the small town. Tang Sen bought a large wooden box with ease, and then went around to a remote house.

"wait for me."

Tang Sen opened the door and walked in. Not long after, he dragged a big box out with difficulty.

"Here are gold coins."

Tom took over from Tang Sen and held the box in his arms. The heavy weight let him know that the gold coins inside might be an astronomical figure.

Tang Sen still did not explain the source of the gold coins, and Tom would not ask, but the respect for Tang Sen in his heart increased.

No one would believe that there is a purse that can pour out gold coins indefinitely in the world. In Tom's mind, the only reason Mr. Tang can get so many gold coins at any time is that in this Port Royal, Mr. Tang has other Followers, they keep Mr. Tang's gold coins, and they 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. in circulation.

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

"Mr. Tang, please tell me."

"Go buy a boat." Tang Sen looked at the pier: "I want to come, because of my two days of playing games, a large number of ships have gathered at the pier, and even people from nearby islands who have received the news are rushing to Port Royal."

"My request is to buy a boat, buy a large number of boats, except for those small fishing boats that can only dangle in shallow seas, any sailboat that can sail long distances must not be let go."

"Whatever method you use, what name you use, how many times the price you want, I only have one request—"

"Tell the sales manager to shut up, at least before Colonel Norrington's promotion ceremony, I don't want to hear rumors of 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 capacity of each place are limited, so many ships cannot be used for business, so there is only one possibility
Reminiscent of Tang Sen asking him to buy ordnance before, Tom suddenly shuddered and trembled all over.

He is not afraid, but excited.

What Mr. Tang did in the past two days was not just for fun, but for a greater purpose. Now, he can actually participate in it, and even play a key role in it. His future is immeasurable.

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

"Then, I'll leave the money to you. If it's not enough, ask me for it." Tang Sen nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, wait, isn't this too much!" Tom suddenly said in surprise: "Don't Mr. Tang need to find someone else to take care of the money with me?"

"Tom, you have proved your loyalty. I don't think I need to do these unnecessary things." Tang Sen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, I am optimistic about you."

It's just a bunch of numbers, and Tang Sen doesn't care at all. It is more meaningful to use these yellow and white things that are meaningless to him to prove the other party's loyalty, and even exchange for the other party's gratitude.

"Yes!" Tom's blood boiled immediately.

This is an amount that ordinary people can't reach in a lifetime. Mr. Tang is so relieved and trusts him so much that Tom really doesn't know how to repay him.

Before the dark desire to run away with the money appeared, it was extinguished by gratitude and anticipation of that unknown great cause.

"By the way, there is one more small thing."

"Soon, there will be a little disturbance in the governor's residence. At that time, you need to meet two people."

"Then, bring me something back."
