Speaking of making money, with Liu Cheng's current identity, as a pirate, it seems that there is no need to think of other ways to make money, wouldn't it be very good to rob ready-made?

As the saying goes, horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth.

It seems that many people naturally think that robbery is the most efficient and most effective way to make a fortune.

However, this idea is indeed wrong, at least in the eyes of these veteran pirates, it is basically impossible for them, a small pirate force, to make a fortune by robbery.

In fact, in the waters of the East China Sea, it is not easy for a small pirate force like Blackreef to survive.

Don't look at the last time they successfully robbed a merchant ship and made a profit of a few hundred gold, and three hundred pirates can still have more than a hundred gold left after a penny, which looks like they are making a lot of money.

In fact, last time they were lucky, it was usually difficult to meet that kind of single fat sheep, and if their single business was to be carefully calculated, they actually didn't earn that.

A huge merchant ship, they only got some food supplies, and almost 1.5 million yuan in money, for which they also dispatched more than 300 people, no matter how you look at this business, it is a loss.

In fact, if they did buy the supplies of that merchant ship at the market price, they would have reaped at least ten times as much, and if they had sold it at the price of the goods, they would have received at least ten times as much.

But because they are pirates, small pirates, they have no normal sales channels, so they can only go to the black market in the East China Sea, and sell the harvested booty to other channel pirate forces at an extremely low price to obtain meager funds.

This is Blackreef Island, and at the same time, it is also the survival status of a small group of pirate forces in the East China Sea, licking blood with a knife, and being exploited by the pirate forces in the East China Sea, such a life is simply miserable.

After learning about this situation, Liu Cheng was of course decisive, and it was impossible for him to choose to continue on their previous path.

You may not be able to meet a fat sheep once a month, and after you meet it, you will finally gain something from a difficult battle, and you will have to be exploited by others for 9 layers of income or even more, how can Liu Cheng do such a stupid thing.

In fact, this kind of thing is not only Liu Cheng doesn't want to do, but even the original owner of the big island of Black Reef Island and the second owner of the island are not happy, but they have no choice, they have to do it in order to survive.

But Liu Cheng is different, and he doesn't need to compromise so much, because he has other ways.

On the eleventh day when Liu Cheng built the [Barracks], Liu Chengcheng took Zhang Kai and them on the only remaining ship on Heijiao Island, took the things that Liu Cheng had prepared for eleven days, and set off directly.

This time, they didn't go out to rob, their destination was a small island about a hundred nautical miles away from Black Reef Island, which was a small island called Zhongtun Island.

Zhongtun Island, located in Hokkaido, is an island with an area of more than 1,500 square kilometers, and this island is almost one-tenth of Liu Cheng's former treasure island, which is quite a small island in Hokkaido.

At the end of Hokkaido, this island is an important island, and this pirate had a small harbor where merchant ships often docked.

The reason why these merchant ships are anchored here is not only because this island can replenish water and other daily necessities, but more importantly, because there are special channels for goods here.

In the middle of Zhongtun Island, there is a small sea market, where the pirates in Hokkaido are basically stationed.

Through these stations, or rather facades, they will sell out the goods looted by the small pirate gangs in Hokkaido, such as the original Blackreef Island, as well as some materials that cannot be described in the open.

And these commodities will basically be swept away by the merchant ships staying on Zhongtun Island.

Although everyone knows that the origin of these materials is not very clean, but in the face of interests, no one will care about those small things.

It can be said that this Zhongtun Island is the black market in Hokkaido, and it is the most blatant one.

Of course, there must be a strong arm behind this kind of place to support and stabilize the order, and the force behind Zhongtun Island is the uncrowned king of Hokkaido.

It can be said that Zhongtun Island is completely Zhang Yan's money bag in Hokkaido, and it can be said that it is the place in Hokkaido that is second only to Zhang Yan's nest in importance.

And Liu Cheng's target this time is Zhongtun Island, more precisely, it should be those merchant ships and those pirate forces on Zhongtun Island.

The journey from Heijiao Island to Zhongtun Island was less than 100 nautical miles, and Liu Cheng's ship took nearly a day to arrive.

But fortunately, everything went smoothly along the way and he arrived safely at Zhongtun Island.

After arriving at Zhongtun Island, Liu Cheng did not start to act, but took a few pirates under his command to walk around Zhongtun Island.

I have to say that although he was prepared before he came, after coming to Zhongtun Island, Liu Cheng was still shocked by this island.

A place outside the law, lawless, this is Liu Cheng's conjecture about Zhongtun Island before he came!

However, after actually coming to Zhongtun Island, Zhongtun Island did not give Liu Cheng the feeling he expected.

This island is still quite prosperous in a way, because of the strong rule and suppression of Zhang Yan's group of pirates.

Although Midway is full of brothels and casinos, you can even see the human slave trade that was strictly forbidden in the Great Zhou Empire.

Whether it is a Da Zhou person or a Dongying person, whether it is a beautiful woman or an old woman, a strong man or a child, as long as you can afford it, you can buy it here.

Of course, although it has an unbearable side, it must also be admitted that this island still has its order, at least for Liu Cheng, who came to this island as a guest, many experiences are still very good.

At least safety is completely guaranteed, because of the suppression of the owner of Hokkaido, on this island, as long as you don't offend Zhang Yan's people, as long as you have money, you can live quickly.

Of course, the money in Liu Cheng's pocket will definitely not allow him to live long on Zhongtun Island, and his money can only afford to pay for the house and food for two or three days for him and the dozen pirates under his command who went ashore, and if he stays any longer, he will probably be swept away.

So after observing Zhongtun Island for a day, he decided to make a move.

Early the morning of the second day when Liu Cheng came to Zhongtun Island, Liu Chengcheng took the things he had prepared early in the morning and went out with the pirates under his command......
