Chapter 1
East China Sea, Navy Base 16.
Although it is only the 16th base, it is considered a relatively large base in the entire East China Sea.
So there are more navies stationed here.
The naval officer here is the colonel of the naval branch.
The colonel here is called Luo Cheng.
A name that is very characteristic of the ancient Yan and Huang countries.
Because this colonel is from this country.
Although it used to be, but later, Luo Cheng traveled to the world of One Piece.
Yes, Luo Cheng is a time traveler.
A time traveler from the blue planet.
When he first traveled through time, he was only a few years old and was adopted by an ordinary farmer.
But later the farmer was wiped out by pirates, and Luo Cheng escaped by luck, and finally had to join the navy.
After several years of training, although Luo Cheng has made some achievements, he is still far behind those with outstanding talents.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and Luo Cheng is already 18 years old.
According to Luo Cheng’s talent, at only 18 years old, he was not qualified to become a naval captain.
Even if he is just a colonel of a branch, it is not something that ordinary people can achieve.
All this is because Luo Cheng got a system.
Wealth system.
As long as you get enough wealth, you can get certain attribute points.
At that time, you can use these attribute points to add points.
It is precisely because of this system that Luo Cheng has used his rights to make money over the years.
When he first joined the navy, Luo Cheng led a group of people to extort those self-employed people.
As his strength became stronger, Luo Cheng stopped making small fuss like before and started collecting money street by street.
Luo Cheng used the system to step by step become the captain of the navy branch.
Finally, he used his position as a naval colonel to collect protection fees in his territory.
Passing merchant ships and ordinary civilians.
Even pirates have to start paying taxes.
Luo Cheng would only turn a blind eye if the pirates paid taxes, but he would never agree to these pirates’ robbery.
If these pirates burned, killed and looted here, it would definitely affect his tax collection, so Luo Cheng would never agree.
Over the years, Luo Cheng has gained a lot.
Inside an office.
Luo Cheng sat on the office chair, his legs crossed on the desk, his body tilted back, holding Bailey in his hand, and counting slowly.
Next to him, a small table was placed.
Baileys smelling like money are everywhere on the table.
A marine stood next to him.
The navy’s eyes turned red when he looked at the money, but he did not dare to think too much about the money.
Next to the navy, there was a middle-aged man standing.
The middle-aged man looked at Luo Cheng nervously.
He is the largest merchant nearby, specializing in selling oranges, and pays Luo a large amount of tax every year.
Of course, after paying the tax, Luo Cheng would protect him.
Several times, their caravan was robbed by pirates, and Luo Cheng would definitely help.
At this point, all the merchants nearby had to pay protection fees to Luo Cheng in order to obtain Luo Cheng’s protection and prevent them from being robbed by those pirates.
The only pity is that the taxes paid are too heavy.
He doesn’t make much money in a year, but he can still be considered a small rich man.
In fact, Luo Cheng was quite helpless. He wanted to rob directly, but by robbing these people, he would not be able to create wealth, and he could not do this kind of thing to make a profit.
Simply Luo Cheng started collecting protection fees.
Luo Cheng had to give up even the treasure on the empty island. Even if he went to get it, it would be of no use.
He could only take things that had owners, like those treasures, and even if he got them, it would be of no use.
Others, whether for robbery or collecting protection fees, can be used to exchange attribute points.
But Luo Cheng didn’t give up.
He planned to find some suitable pirates in a few years, trick them into taking away these treasures.
Then he suddenly appears again, focusing on collecting tolls, and when he is unhappy, he just snatches away the treasures. Most of these treasures are still his.
Luo Cheng counted for a long time and finally finished counting the money.
The businessman next to me was particularly nervous.
“Colonel, I have already paid all these taxes. Do you think so?……”
“Indeed, there are 1 million beli in total, the correct amount.”
Luo Cheng picked up the list on one side, stamped it, and handed it to the merchant.
This list is a proof. Only those who pay taxes here in Luo Cheng can still get the list and walk freely in this area. On the sea area, when the time came for the navy to investigate, they would not take action.
Of course, there were some navy who planned to take action secretly, but they were executed openly by Luo Cheng.
Because no one could compete with him for money.
“Thank you, Colonel.”
The businessman immediately took the order and left happily.
The navy next to him watched eagerly.
Every time Luo Cheng collected taxes, they also got a good reward.
Luo Cheng also euphemistically called it a food subsidy.
As the name suggests, it is a food subsidy.
Because of this subsidy, all the navies were attracted by Luo Cheng.
Even some righteous navies, under the exclusion of others and the corruption of money, eventually gradually deteriorated. Of course, Luo Cheng would not do anything to burn, kill or loot.
Anyway, his goal was just to obtain a lot of wealth.
Luo Cheng took out a large stack of baileys from the table and placed them on the navy next to him.
“Take it, ten thousand beli each”
“yes.”
The navy immediately took a large pile of Baileys and left happily.
Ten thousand Baileys for one person is nothing.
But ten thousand Baileys per month is enough for many navy to use for a week. , it can be regarded as an extra subsidy, what else is there to be unhappy about.
After the navy left, Luo Cheng turned around and looked at the sea outside the office, unable to calm down for a long time. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than ten years since time traveled.
This In more than ten years, Luo Cheng has gone through ups and downs, but finally survived and became the overlord of the nearby sea area.
