Chapter 5 Just a few hundred pounds

 Governor Swan's actions were very efficient. After chatting with Tang Sen for a while, he couldn't sit still. He asked the servant to lift a box full of gold coins, and he was about to go 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, the scenery in Port Royal is nice. I plan 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 you give yourself six years, you may not be able to complete the procurement task. At this time, this is lost.

The captain of his pirate ship is still wandering in the sea, and Tang Sen is not going to waste time looking for him on the sea.

During the chat with Governor Swan just now, Townsend learned that Colonel Norrington was about to be promoted to brigadier general. If I remember correctly, the day of the other party's promotion ceremony was the day when the plot started.

Miss Elizabeth Swann attended Norrington's promotion ceremony and accidentally fell into the sea from the castle. The Aztec gold coin she was carrying touched the sea water and was sensed by the Black Pearl. That night, the Black Pearl attacked and was almost destroyed.

Went to Port Royal and took away Miss Swan.

It was on this day that Jack Sparrow landed at Port Royal in order to seize the ship.

You can just sit back and wait for Jack Sparrow to come to your door.

As for the attack of the Black Pearl, in Tang Sen's view, it is harmful rather than helpful to him. After all, both the navy of Port Royal and ordinary citizens in Port Royal can be his help.

If you want to avoid the attack, you just need to get the Aztec gold coin before that day comes.

Governor Swan naturally didn't know how many thoughts were passing through Tang Sen's mind at this moment. He said seriously: "Mr. Tang, don't worry about recruiting people. I will send people to do it. I will definitely recruit the best for Mr. Tang."

Sailor."

"Don't bother, I'm still used to doing it by myself." Townsend rejected Governor Swan's overtures and said, "But there is one thing that I really need the Governor's help with."

He paused and then said: "I'm new here and haven't found a place to live yet. I don't know if there is a property in Port Royal with a better location and less noisy. I'm going to buy one to live in."

Governor Swan raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Purchase? If Mr. Tang does not plan to live for a long time, leasing is enough. There are many villas halfway up the mountain. They only cost ten pounds for one or two months. If you buy them, you will need at least

That's hundreds of pounds."

"It makes no difference to me." Tang Sen smiled and shook his head, saying: "Leasing has many inconveniences. I only live here for ten days and a half, so there is no need to waste energy on a few hundred pounds."<

/p>

"A few hundred pounds...small money??" Governor Swann's expression froze.

Although he has seen the other party's arrogance, Governor Swan still cannot get used to the other party's style of spending money like water.

"How rich are the people of the East? Is it true that the land in the East is as golden as the legend says?"

Greed arose in Governor Swan's heart, but it quickly disappeared. He was already old and very satisfied with his current life. There was no need to stir up trouble. Although the other party claimed that he came to Port Royal alone, as a noble from the East,

, and carrying such a huge sum of money, the backstage is not small.

I am not a pirate, money is a good thing, but family and stability are more important than money. This is Governor Swan's style of conduct.

Tang Sen had been observing Governor Swan's face, and saw that his face changed several times, and finally calmed down, feeling certain in his heart.

Naturally, he chose to start spreading money from Governor Swan after careful consideration. He has no ability to protect himself now. He cannot handle anyone who is greedy for him. He must have a stepping stone. Looking at the entire

In Port Royal, I am afraid that only this governor who focuses on his daughter and abides by the rules can restrain his greed.

Townsend had no doubt that if he went directly to Colonel Norrington, the other party would probably not mind accusing him of being a pirate and directly plundering all his property.

Although the future brigadier general appears to be quite infatuated in the plot of the movie, he cannot be called just, let alone abiding by the rules.

In other words, anyone who became a naval officer in the Age of Discovery cannot be said to abide by the rules... What they earned was money from colonization, and the word colonization itself contains violence and robbery.

What's more, in this era, the privateering license has not yet been invalidated.

"Governor Swann?"

Seeing that the other party was silent for a long time, Tang Sen reminded him loudly: "What are you thinking about? Are you so absorbed?"

Governor Swan suddenly understood, quickly straightened his expression, and said: "Sorry, I was just thinking that since Mr. Tang will only live here for ten days and a half, there is no need to go out of his way to buy a house. I have a lot of empty rooms here. If Mr. Tang doesn't

If you don’t like it, how about staying here directly?”

"This is too disturbing to the Governor." Tang Sen was overjoyed. He just mentioned buying a house just to induce the other party to say this.

Without waiting for Governor Swan's response, Townsend made a decisive decision: "I feel uneasy about living and eating for free. In this case, the money originally used to purchase a house should be exchanged for these days' rent."

Governor Swann was stunned again, and he was about to be polite on reflex, and then he heard Townsend continue: "The Governor just said that it would cost a few hundred pounds to buy a house? Forget it, let's just round it up, let's count it as a thousand pounds, I

I'll have someone deliver it to the Governor later."

"..."

Just as he was about to say his refusal, Governor Swan swallowed it down.

This person...Why does this person always talk about money?

I said before that the money donated to Port Royal and the Navy can be safely accepted, but the rent of one thousand pounds for more than ten days? Who would believe it? This is already like a blatant bribe, right?

If this was accepted, there would be no way for me and this Easterner to maintain a simple relationship between governor and guest.

However, Governor Swan really couldn’t think of a reason to refuse the huge sum of money presented to his door.

"Governor?" Townsend interrupted Governor Swan's hesitation and said, "Is there a little missing? How about I add more?"

"No, no!" Governor Swan was startled. The money came so easily. Even Governor Swan felt a little uneasy holding it. He quickly waved his hand and said: "I'm just thinking about how to entertain Mr. Tang. Let's go to the second floor.

There is a room with a particularly good view, with a panoramic view of Port Royal, so I will have it cleared away."

"Then I'll trouble you, Lord Governor."

It seems that the money spent is enough, and spending more may have the opposite effect.

However, his goal has been initially achieved. From now on, at least in Port Royal, Governor Swan will not become his resistance, but will become his assistance. With Governor Swan's endorsement, there is no need to worry about safety for the time being.

Compared with safety, thousands of gold coins are nothing.

"You don't have to be so polite. Mr. Tang, as my distinguished guest, just call me by my name." Governor Swan introduced himself: "Wetherby, Weatherby Swan."

"Okay, Mr. Swan."

"By the way, Mr. Tang has just met my daughter Elizabeth. She also lives on the second floor. I think she will be very happy to see a gentleman from the East." Governor Swan said.

Tang Sen smiled slightly:
