Chapter 3 The Last Aztec Gold Coin
Spending money is a technical job.
For Tang Sen, the art of spending money lies in how to do the most things with the least money. The biggest worry is always not having enough money.
But now, Tang Sen has unfortunately lost this trouble.
But a new worry arises, how to spend money while ensuring your own safety.
Although this world is not a place where human lives are considered trivial, there are probably not a few people who are willing to take risks for gold coins. It is true that the enforcement of laws in Port Royal is quite strict because of the presence of the English Navy, but this does not mean that it can be unscrupulous.
It is a stupid thing to use one's own life to test the darkness of human heart. Tang Sen thinks that his life is very valuable and cannot just spend gold coins on the street to recruit troops.
Tang Sen walked out of the clothing store with a completely new look.
The upper body is a white bottom coat with a light blue silk vest, a black coat, and tight white trousers. Originally, according to the dressing habits of England in this era, the trousers had to be worn with knee-length tubes. Socks, but Tang Sen really couldn't accept the behavior of a grown man wearing tube socks, so he simply put on a pair of long riding boots.
Naturally, he would not accept wearing a white wig like other English elites. He just washed his dirty and greasy hair cleanly and combed it back, revealing his shiny forehead.
This outfit looks a bit weird in today's popular attire, but combined with Tang Sen's oriental-flavored face, it unexpectedly looks decent and mysterious.
Of course, the price is not cheap either. This whole outfit cost nearly ten pounds, which is the salary of an ordinary maid in twenty years.
But this is indispensable for Tang Sen. As the saying goes, a man depends on his clothes and a Buddha depends on his gold. A poor man holding a bag of gold coins in his hand is very likely to attract the attention of soldiers and thieves, but a decent nobleman holding a bag of gold coins is very likely to attract the attention of soldiers and thieves. Carrying a bag of gold coins is a perfectly normal thing.
"Next, it's time to get down to business."
Tang Sen looked across the low rooftops of the port town to the towering castle located halfway up the mountain.
"Go and give your dear Governor a great gift."
The governor's residence is halfway up the mountain, overlooking the entire Port Royal. Although the entire Port Royal is considered prosperous in the Caribbean, it is not worth mentioning compared to mainland England.
Governor Swann did not have much ambition and was not prepared to go further. He was content with guarding Port Royal. Like most fathers who had a daughter late in life, most of his energy was spent on his daughter Elizabeth Swann.
"I heard that Colonel Norrington is about to be promoted." Governor Swan stood in front of the window, the doting on his face clearly showing: "Although the written documents have not been delivered yet, it will be this month."
"Really?" the girl standing next to him responded, her black and white eyes staring out the window. Anyone could see that she was not interested in this topic.
"You are really young and promising." Governor Swan had long been accustomed to his daughter's behavior and continued: "Although the Caribbean is full of pirates, for people like him, they are all opportunities to make meritorious deeds. He is still so young, and in a few more years, he may be able to make further progress.”
"I'm sure he can do it." Elizabeth was a little tired of her father's endless praise of Norrington and changed the subject: "I think my father has already thought about the gift to give to Colonel Norrington at the inauguration ceremony?"
"Of course, of course!" Governor Swan nodded: "I think a sword that is exquisite and sharp enough is suitable for him. Mr. Brown of the blacksmith shop is famous for his craftsmanship. I have already placed an order -"
"Oh, Will's master." Elizabeth's eyes lit up, and her expression suddenly brightened, "Why not just let Will make it? His craftsmanship is no worse than Mr. Brown's."
Seeing Elizabeth's expression, Governor Swan sighed helplessly and said, "This is a very important gift, Elizabeth. Mr. Turner may not be able to handle it."
"but--"
Elizabeth was about to say more when there was a gentle knock on the door.
Governor Swan was relieved. Once his daughter mentioned the apprentice craftsman, she would talk endlessly. He was never willing to stop Elizabeth forcefully, but he did not want Elizabeth to mix with the apprentice named Will Turner. As the governor, My daughter, can't I follow that boy to blacksmith in the future?
"It seems to be business." Governor Swan smiled and said: "Generally speaking, the housekeeper will not disturb me at this time."
"It's a nice day today, Elizabeth. Why don't you go for a walk on the fort? Colonel Norrington would love to spend some time with you."
Elizabeth pursed her lips and stopped responding. She opened the door first. The butler in a black double-breasted coat was standing at the door. When she saw Elizabeth, she quickly bent down and saluted.
"My Lord Governor, we have visitors."
Governor Swan's eyes followed Elizabeth's back until she came down the corner of the stairs. Then he came back to his senses and said, "What kind of visitor is worthy of disturbing me and Elizabeth's conversation time?"
"A distinguished guest from the East, he and his entourage are waiting in the hall." The butler replied seriously.
"Oh?" Governor Swan raised his eyebrows: "Oriental? This is quite rare, especially if you can add a distinguished prefix."
The butler lowered his head slightly and gently stroked the smooth gold coins with his hands behind his back.
A guest who can casually give a gold guinea as a reward is naturally considered noble.
At this time, Tang Sen stood calmly in the luxuriously decorated living room, holding a wooden box the size of a human head in his arms.
Not far behind him, a few plainly dressed civilians stood at the door with a restrained expression, with several large wooden boxes at their feet.
The sound of footsteps came from the stairs. Tang Sen raised his head and saw a young girl holding up her skirt and looking down. The silver-white aristocratic dress outlined her slim waist, with a straight neckline. , squeezing out white but bottomless ravines.
"Elizabeth Swann." Tang Sen said the name silently in his mind.
As one of the protagonists of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Tang Sen would naturally not be unimpressed by him. To be honest, when the other party appeared in front of him alive, his classic and generous face was really stunning. However, what Tang Sen was thinking about was more What is more is not worldly desires, but the Aztec gold coin that Elizabeth holds.
The cursed pirates of the Black Pearl searched hard on the sea, trying to collect all the Aztec gold coins, and the one in the opponent's hand was the last of 882 Aztec gold coins.
In the plot, Miss Swan accidentally fell into the water while wearing an Aztec gold coin, which led to the Black Pearl. Not only was she kidnapped by pirates, but Port Royal was almost destroyed. This led to many subsequent adventures.
Elizabeth raised her head and glanced across Tang Sen's face. The unusual face made her stunned for a moment, but she didn't say hello and walked straight out of the hall without stopping.
Naturally, Tang Sen would not talk too much, and still kept his eyes straight, just making secret calculations in his heart.
"The last Aztec gold coin plays a crucial role, so we have to find a way to get it."
"If we want to complete the plan, the Black Pearl will have to make contact sooner or later, but how and when we make contact must be in my way."
