People in the heavens are as rich as the enemies of the country
Chapter 7 I'm sorry
"Games?"
There was a buzzing sound on the pier, and the sailors were whispering to each other and talking in low voices. They didn't understand what the oriental man wanted to do.
But under the temptation of ten gold coins, several sailors soon crowded in front of Tang Sen.
Tang Sen looked at these people. Some of them had gray hair and wrinkled faces, and some were tall and muscular, but the same thing was that all of them were unkempt and smelled of the fishy smell unique to living at sea all year round.
"This game is very simple." Tang Sen did not show off, picked up a gold gold coin, and said: "I will throw this gold coin, and you will guess whether it will be heads or tails after it lands. The one who guesses correctly will advance to the next round, and the one who guesses incorrectly will advance to the next round. disuse."
"Until the last person is left, he will receive ten guineas."
"."
Several sailors looked at each other, and the gray-haired sailor asked cautiously: "Sir, are you serious?"
"Of course." Tang Sen smiled: "Let's start, front or back?"
"I choose the front, sir." The old sailor looked at the soldiers behind Tang Sen, feeling a little uneasy and confused.
He didn't know what the meaning of this was, and he didn't think he could really get gold coins by winning this so-called small game. He thought it was just a way for big shots to play tricks on people like him.
But under the gaze of the soldiers, he did not dare to leave.
Other sailors also spoke up and made their own choices.
"Very good." Tang Sen gently threw the gold coin in his hand. In everyone's sight, the golden light under the sun quickly fell on the ground, making a crisp sound, spinning around a few times, and then lay down smoothly. .
The portrait on the front of the gold coin shines brightly.
"Congratulations to both of you, you guessed correctly." Tang Sen picked up the gold coin and said, "On the other hand, gentlemen who guessed the other side, you can leave for now."
The sailor who guessed wrong turned back to the crowd with a confused look on his face, leaving only the two sailors who guessed correctly still standing in front of Tang Sen.
In addition to the old sailor from before, there is also a sailor with dark skin and a shiny head.
"It's a very simple game, isn't it?" Tang Sen looked at the two advancers and said, "Let's continue, front or back?"
"Front, it's still front, sir." The old sailor lowered his head slightly.
The other sailor looked at the old sailor and said decisively: "The back side."
"Oh, it seems that this round may be decided." Tang Sen observed the expressions of the two sailors, smiled mysteriously, and raised his hand to throw the gold coin.
Ding--
The gold coin landed at his feet and kept spinning. Before the result was about to be displayed, Tang Sen gently stepped on the gold coin.
"Gentlemen, you don't look very excited. Can you tell me why?"
The black sailor curled his lips without leaving any trace, and whispered: "There is no such thing as being able to get ten pounds and ten shillings for guessing the right or wrong. No one with a brain will believe it. I am really crazy to come here."
"Really?" Tang Sen looked at him with a half-smile and said: "Let's do this, if you give up this game, I will give you a shilling. Of course, if you give up, no matter whether the gold coin is front or back, there will be This gentleman will automatically win, will you?"
"One shilling?" The black sailor glared sharply: "Give it to me for free?"
Ten guineas is a huge amount of money for sailors, and they dare not even dream about it, but one shilling is much more approachable. It is normal for big people to casually reward one shilling, and you can get it yourself in the tavern After a night of drinking, there was even money left over to buy a pound of beef.
Townsend turned his head and looked at Warrant Officer Tom: "Warrant Officer, I don't have a neutral line. Can you lend me a shilling?"
"Of course, Mr. Tang." Warrant Officer Tom didn't know what Tang Sen was doing, but it was only a shilling, so he naturally wouldn't refuse, so he took out a shilling coin from his pocket.
Townsend took the coin, stretched out his hand and handed it to the black sailor, saying: "One shilling, I'll give it to you for free, but you will be disqualified from the game. Are you sure?"
"Of course! Sir!" The black sailor took the silver coin with a smile: "You are too generous. I apologize to you for my rashness."
"I accept your apology." Tang Sen smiled politely and said, "At the same time, I regret what you will see next."
He gently moved his toes that were stepping on the gold coin. The scepter, coat of arms and crown on the back of the gold coin shone brightly.
"It seems like you were supposed to win this game."
Tang Sen picked up the gold coin, stacked it with the other nine gold guineas, and handed it to the old sailor: "Congratulations, sir, although you guessed wrong, because your opponent gave up the game, you automatically won. "
The smile on the black sailor's face suddenly froze, and at the same time, waves of exclamations erupted around him.
"No? Really?"
"That's ten gold coins! Oh my God!"
"It's fake, right? How could anyone spend so much money on such a boring game?"
"Are you blind? That color, that shape, what else can it be if it's not a gold coin?"
"It's so funny that someone gave up ten gold coins for a shilling. He has obviously won."
"How many pennies is this worth? I can't tell you."
"Two hundred and ten shillings! Two thousand five hundred and twenty pence! Man! That's enough for you to go home and retire!"
"."
Listening to the sounds coming from around him, the black sailor was on the verge of tears, but no matter what, those golden things had nothing to do with him. Even facing Tang Sen and the heavily armed soldiers behind him, he even He didn't have the courage to do anything, so he could only squeeze back into the crowd with great regret.
At this time, the old sailor looked at the gold coins in front of him, trembled all over, and even shrank back reflexively, his voice trembling: "Sir, is this not a joke?"
"Sometimes, luck is more important than choice, isn't it?" Tang Sen took the old sailor's hand and poured the gold coins into his hand. "Now, they are yours. Tell me, how are you going to use them?"
"I, I." The old sailor's legs weakened and he almost lost his balance. He wanted to speak, but his voice became hoarse: "I, I don't know, I never thought about it."
He instinctively clenched the gold coin in his hand, and the heavy and hard hand felt so real.
"It's true, I'm not dreaming"
His tears flowed out all of a sudden, filling the vertical and horizontal wrinkles and ravines. His eyes were blurred so that he could not see the faces of the people around him clearly, and he could only hear the crazy exclamations.
"I have never had so much money. I am an old guy. My son died at the hands of pirates a long time ago. In order to raise my granddaughter, I dragged my useless body out to find a job."
"I can't do heavy work. I can only earn two shillings a month. This is too much money. I will never make so much money for the rest of my life."
He fell to his knees with a thud: "Sir, I will always be grateful for your generosity."
"You can change your job now, can't you?" Tang Sen helped the other person up and said, "Go, I think you can't wait to share this joy with your family."
"Warrant Officer, I think Port Royal should be able to ensure the safety of citizens' property, right?" He turned his head and said to Warrant Officer Tom.
"Of course, Mr. Tang, robbery and theft are both serious crimes in Port Royal. The wealth you gave this gentleman is safe." Tom glanced at the sailors present with a warning in his tone: "I don't think anyone will Willing to date the gallows.”
Then he hesitated, approached Tang Sen, and said, "But, Mr. Tang, why are you doing this? I know you are rich, but this is a bit wasteful. An old sailor cannot bring any benefits."
Tang Sen smiled and said nothing.
The interest of this matter is not for the gratitude of an old sailor, but for the sailors present to believe that he does what he says and is really willing to give real money.
Money, fame, and power have always been complementary to each other. For a person with unlimited money, how to convert money into fame and power is the most important thing.
Only by possessing these, can I quickly accumulate enough strength to face the legendary ship that sails between life and death as an unarmed ordinary person, and face the deep-sea King of Hell who controls life and death.
Spending money to turn Governor Swan into one of his own is only the first step. Next, it is time to let the entire Port Royal know his name.
"Well, let's move on to the next game."
Tang Sen opened his arms and looked at the red-eyed sailors on the dock.
"The next reward is fifty gold coins. Is anyone willing to participate?"
