For Townsend, Warrant Officer Tom’s value has never been in the person himself.

It is a key that opens the door to the Port Royal Navy.

No matter how much money he spends outside the Port Royal Navy, he will only win the favor of the soldiers in the end. But with Warrant Officer Tom as an internal agent, he has a good chance of using money to erode the Royal Navy and seize it from the bottom up.

Take control of the Navy...at least control of some aspects.

Moreover, I am currently in the public eye. I am too famous and do many things that are too eye-catching. Warrant Officer Tom can perfectly replace me to do some things that are currently inconvenient to do in public.

But the basic point of all this is that Warrant Officer Tom cannot betray. Once the other party betrays, he will no longer have a place in Port Royal, which is why Townsend spends so much energy on a mere Warrant Officer.

"Mr. Tang, Warrant Officer Tom is waiting for you outside the door."

At dinner time, the butler walked over lightly and whispered to Tang Sen.

Tang Sen put down the tableware leisurely, smiled apologetically at Governor Swan and Miss Swan, and said, "Excuse me."

After two days, everyone was already quite familiar with each other. Governor Swan did not bother with the complicated etiquette, and did not 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, and he asked me to invite you to attend the ceremony."

"What an honor."

Tang Sen's heart moved slightly.

The promotion ceremony also means that Jack Sparrow lands on the island and the plot of Pirates of the Caribbean officially begins, which is earlier than I expected.

Then, there are not many days left for you to develop stably in Port Royal.

Fortunately, the plan went smoothly.

When I walked out of the restaurant, I happened to see the maid in red, Jillian, preparing to go upstairs with a bed-warming tong. Facing Tang Sen, she quickly saluted, her expression a little unnatural.

A maid's palace is indeed not enough for her to hide the secrets in her heart without revealing it, but fortunately she is just a maid, and she is too inconspicuous in this castle belonging to the governor.

Tang Sen just nodded slightly, without saying a word, and walked directly out of the house along the corridor. When he walked out of the door, he saw Warrant Officer Tom holding a long strip wrapped in oilcloth and standing in the dark.

Under the eye-catching tree.

"Good evening, Mr. Tom."

"Mr. Tang, just call me by my name." Warrant Officer Tom couldn't restrain his excitement. He just said a simple courtesy and brought the topic to the topic: "Captain Morgan, who manages the armory, is very familiar with me.

After spending some money, he was happy to turn a blind eye. Mr. Tang, please see, this is a brand new flintlock gun, in very good condition——"

"No need." Tang Sen waved his hand to interrupt Tom's attempt to peel off the oilcloth, "I believe you, Tom."

"Now, forget about these guns. They are of no use for the time being. Find a place to hide him. We have to go to the dock."

Tom paused and nodded. He did not ask what he was doing at the dock. Since he had decided to follow Tang Sen, he had to adapt to his duties as a personal servant.

Ask less, do more, and you will know what you need to know.

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

"Wait for me for a while."

Tang Sen opened the door and walked in. Not long after, he struggled to drag a large box out.

"Here are gold coins."

Tom took over from Townsend and held the box in his arms. The heavy weight told him that the number of gold coins inside was probably an astronomical figure.

Tang Sen still did not explain the origin of the gold coins, and Tom would not ask, but his respect for Tang Sen increased even more.

No one would believe that there is a money bag in the world that can pour out unlimited gold coins. In Tom's mind, the only reason why Mr. Tang can get so many gold coins at any time is that in this Royal Port, Mr. Tang has other things.

Followers, they keep Mr. Tang’s gold coins and 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. However, this kind of check is only a voucher and can only be digested internally and cannot be sold in the market.

circulating on the market.

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

"Mr. Tang, please give me your instructions."

"Go buy a boat." Tang Sen looked at the dock: "I think, because of my game these two days, a large number of boats have gathered at the dock, and even people from nearby islands who have received the news are rushing to Port Royal."

"My request is to buy boats, buy a lot of boats. Except for those small fishing boats that can only wander in shallow waters, any sailing boats that can sail long distances cannot be spared."

"Whatever means you use, whatever name you use, whatever times you spend, I only have one request -"

"Shut up the sales manager. At least before the promotion ceremony of Colonel Norrington, I don't want to hear rumors about Mr. Tang buying a large number of ships."

It took Tom several minutes to digest this request.

A large number of ships? What are they used for? The purchasing power and dumping ability of each place are limited. It is impossible for so many ships to be used for business, so there is only one possibility...

Thinking of Tang Sen's previous behavior of asking him to buy ordnance, Tom suddenly shuddered and trembled all over.

He was not afraid, but excited.

What this Mr. Tang did in the past two days was indeed not just for fun, but had a greater purpose. And now that he was able to participate and even play a key role in it, his future was immeasurable.

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

"Then, I'll leave the money to you. If you don't have enough money, ask me for it." Tang Sen nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay...wait a minute, is this too much?" Tom suddenly exclaimed: "Don't Mr. Tang need to find someone else to look after the money with me?"

"Tom, you have proven your loyalty. I don't think I need to do these unnecessary things." Tang Sen patted him on the shoulder and said: "Do a good job, I think you are good."

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

"Yes!" Tom's blood suddenly boiled over.

This is an amount of money that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve in a lifetime. Mr. Tang actually has such confidence in himself and such heavy trust that Tom really doesn’t know how to repay him.

The dark desire to abscond with the money had not yet appeared, but it had already been extinguished by gratitude and the expectation of that unknown great undertaking.

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

"Soon, there will be a little commotion at the Governor's residence. When the time comes, you will need to respond to two people."
