People in the heavens are as rich as the enemies of the country

"Mr. Tang."

William Turner's ship did not slow down until it came closer. He acted a little apologetically and awkwardly: "I was a little emotional just now. In any case, I thank Mr. Tang for being willing to tell me what the pirate said. .”

"It's okay, Mr. Turner." Townsend said, "Come after me now. Do you have any questions?"

"If possible, I would like to see the pirate with my own eyes." William Turner said: "Although the possibility is very low, I think I should be more cautious about the news about my father."

"How do you judge whether what a pirate says is true or false?" Tang Sen half-smiled: "What if he told you it was just a story?"

William Turner was silent for a moment and said, "So, I need Mr. Tang's help."

"I hope to find the pirate named William Turner."

"Mr. Turner." Townsend's smile slowly faded: "I am willing to help you, but what are you willing to pay?"

He said flatly: "You should know that if you pay, you will be rewarded."

"I -" William Turner paused and lowered his eyes: "I'm afraid I can't think of anything that could interest Mr. Tang."

In Turner's view, Tang Sen was too wealthy. He could buy almost everything in the world. How could he, a small blacksmith apprentice, afford Mr. Tang's remuneration?

"Everyone in this world is useful, maybe you just haven't noticed it yourself." Tang Sen softened his tone and said, "Mr. Turner, I only need to change my request for help."

"What request?" William Turner asked doubtfully.

"Get on the ship first. The time for sailing is coming soon. Commodore Norrington won't wait for me."

The boat swayed to the side of a large merchant ship, and the people leaning on the side of the ship suddenly cheered.

"I knew Mr. Tang liked big ones! Look! I guessed it right!"

"Great, I'm going to sea with Mr. Tang!"

Someone quickly lowered the ladder to the deck and shouted down flatteringly: "Mr. Tang, come up from here!"

"Thank you." Tang Sen nodded politely and let Tom climb onto the boat first. He waited for the other party to disperse the dense crowd before following him.

The moment William Turner came back and boarded the ship, he couldn't help but look back at the dock square, but he didn't see Miss Swan. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, gritted his teeth, and looked back.

Warm applause rang out, and Tang Sen pressed his hands down and said: "Gentlemen, next, I am very happy that I can spend a long journey with you."

"I will play the game from time to time, and the rewards are still the same as Port Royal."

"Of course, being on the sea is no better than on land. Any unwise behavior may cost the lives of the entire crew, so there are some things that need to be said upfront."

"I don't care who you were before, sailors, businessmen, or even homeless people. When you come to this ship, you are all my crew members. You need to strictly abide by the order on the ship. If someone disobeys orders or even commits a crime, There will be punishment.”

The ecstasy on everyone's faces faded, and someone whispered: "Isn't that what it means to be a sailor? I have never done any physical work. I thought I was just taking a boat ride."

"If you don't want to accept it, you still have a chance to leave."

Tang Sen just said calmly.

No one moved, even those who complained, were unwilling to give up the opportunity.

"I hope everyone has made this decision carefully." Tang Sen waited for a while and then said: "Of course, all this is not free. The basic crew members can get a salary of one pound per month. Those who do heavy work Sailors will receive a salary of two pounds, unless they are particularly capable."

As soon as these words came out, the uneasiness and complaints on most people's faces disappeared instantly.

One pound a month is already the income of a naval soldier, which is several times more than that of an ordinary sailor, not to mention the opportunity to make a fortune brought by the game.

Seeing everyone's eyes becoming eager again, Tang Sen turned his head and said to Tom: "Inform our friends to come up to the deck. The same goes for other ships. I need someone to organize the sailors to set sail and maintain order on the ship. .”

"Don't worry, Mr. Tang, we have already made arrangements."

Tom whistled upward, and Townsend looked up and saw a navy man in ordinary clothes standing on the mast. When he heard the message, he immediately waved the flag in his hand.

This is a semaphore, rarely used by ordinary sailors, but as a naval soldier, this is basically a compulsory skill.

After all, there is no electronic communication in this era. In addition to shouting, real-time communication between fleets relies on semaphores, horns and lights to ensure the mobilization of the flagship and command the order, speed, course and progress of each ship. Retreat, raise and lower the sail, lift anchor and anchor to maintain distance between ships and avoid collisions. It can also report wind direction and strength, astronomy and stargazing and other results.

Tang Sen turned to look at the other ships in the port, and sure enough he found that there was a navy on duty on the mast of every ship he bought.

Along with the transmission of the flag, people on all the ships were soon gathered to explain the situation, and then, under the maintenance of the navy, preparations for the voyage began in an orderly manner.

"Well done, Tom." Tang Sen patted his shoulder with satisfaction: "Having you by my side really helps me a lot."

Tom was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang, for the award."

"Enough chatter, withdraw fifty gold coins from the funds yourself, and that will be your reward."

After finishing speaking, Townsend turned to William Turner again and said: "Mr. Turner, now that these trivial matters have been dealt with, I think we can have a serious talk about pirates."

William Turner saw everything that just happened and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Tang actually bought so many ships. This is different from what I imagined before."

"I know, everyone thinks that I just bought one ship, two or three at most, and then I will leave the Caribbean in despair under the protection of the navy." Tang Sen smiled and shook his head: "This is terrible. Not my style, Mr. Turner."

"I'm afraid Commodore Norrington will not agree to so many ships following him." William Turner whispered.

"I am not a subordinate of Brigadier Norrington, Mr. Turner."

Hearing these words, William Turner was startled. He felt that Mr. Tang seemed to be a little different since he boarded the ship.

Mr. Tang who was in Port Royal before was approachable and always showed a friendly face, but now Mr. Tang is sharp and extremely aggressive.

"Tom, take me to see the captain's cabin." Tang Sen took a step forward. "From now on, I have to get used to life at sea."

"Mr. Turner, don't be stunned, let's talk as we walk."
