Chapter seven hundred and forty ninth escape

The sunset was setting, and there was no one on the road with dusty dust. As the day's patrol was over, Qin Li took his brothers away from the beacon tower and returned to their village.

The Khitans had a strict control over the Han army. Basically, if the family and soldiers were together, it would be more difficult to escape.

The phenomenon of Han people fleeing south has always been serious in Youyun area. After all, it is considered the lowest level, with serious oppression and a very difficult life.

As a team leader, Qin Li had fifty people in his name, but in fact only twenty. Their army was organized by the southern officials with fixed food and salary, and also inherited the tradition of corruption. The Khitans were no exception. The empty salary was eaten by the boss, and the vacancies reached 50%. If there was a lot of money, it would not work.

The village is not big, with thirty or forty houses built with simple wood. There are a lot of dry firewood in front and behind the houses, and they all depend on their lives in winter.

Yingzhou, which has a vast land and a sparse population, is not allowed to farm on a large scale. Because it is necessary to leave a large area of ​​grass for the Khitans to grazle, Qin Li and his group have a difficult life here and can only barely survive.

"Come on, let's divide it!" Qin Li took out a bag of copper coins and said casually.

This was collected from the Shangshang. The Liao Kingdom did not have its own currency. The ones that were commonly used were cloth and then the copper coins from the Central Plains. The lightweight copper coins were even more popular.

After counting, there were about a hundred copper coins, all of which were exquisite Shenwu Tongbao. In recent years, there have been more and more such copper coins in Liao Kingdom.

Qin Li took half of the money and let them share the rest evenly. Everyone then calmed down. This was the largest income since this month, and everyone was happy.

"Hey!" Unlike the others' joy, Qin Lize sighed, looking worried.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?" someone asked.

"Yes, boss, don't hide it from us if you have anything to do!" others also asked.

"This is a difficult day!" Qin Li said with a heavy face: "It's just not long since the wheat was harvested, and most of the wheat was paid out. The rest is not enough to eat, so I'm afraid that taxes will be imposed to spend the winter for the Khitan horses. They will eat better than us!"

"Boss, we have been used to it for many years. We have to live a life. At that time, we can only go out to hunt or borrow food!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was in a heavy mood and could only say helplessly.

The taxes in winter, as well as fur, firewood, etc., require them to appear and go in the mountains and forests, and risk their lives to obtain them. Often, a few people will die when they go.

"I have a way!" Qin Li cheered up and said, "I met a businessman who went to Beisha City today. They had been to Goryeo and said that there was a Tang people's island in the south, with a large population and a prosperous life, much better than our Yingzhou!"

"I heard that there, the government sent dozens of acres of land to everyone, and only one dou of grain per mu. There was no Khitan bullying, it was very comfortable!"

"After all, it's our Han government, much better than the Khitans!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this and dared not speak anymore.

"Head, do you want to escape?" someone asked.

"That's right, I just want to escape!" Qin Li nodded firmly.

The Khitans usually placed all the Han people who were plundered in the hinterland north of Youzhou. The distance was long, so it was naturally difficult to escape.

Qin Li and his group naturally came from the robbery, not the Youyun people, so they were eager to escape and leave here, but they were often restricted by distance and had to give up.

"But, our place is too far away and we can't escape for long!" someone said helplessly.

"We are not going to go south, we are only going to leave Yingju by boat and go to the island south of Goryeo and Jeju Island!"

Qin Li said excitedly: "As long as you go to Jeju Island, it is the territory of our Han people, you will have a good life!"

"But we don't have a ship!"

"There are many Tang people in Beisha City. We can directly pay for the money to hire ships. We only have a dozen miles from the beach, which is very suitable!"

Qin Li became more and more excited as he thought about it, and said, "I have talked with the merchant. Go to Jeju Island and hire a boat. More than a dozen chunks of money is enough!"

"Can the businessman believe that?"

"There is no benefit to report us!" Qin Li sighed and said, "Besides, I told him that he just wanted to do business and send some things over. Then we will bring a few people, what's the point!"

"Boss is wise!" Everyone cheered, and they were extremely happy to be able to escape from the sea of ​​suffering. Although they had a little more than ten cents of money, they could still piece it together. Leaving here is better than anything else.

The village was very excited on this day, with many chattering voices and many oppositions, but in the end they were convinced to leave this miserable place.

A few days later, the merchant brought a message saying that he was willing to help hire a ship, and then he said the details and explained the specific days, which made Qin Li feel relieved.

The merchants thought that this Han army officer wanted to do business and make money. This was normal, and there were no soldiers who survived by paying money.

As the days approached, Qin Li became more and more nervous. He came to the beach from time to time. Looking at the undulating Bohai Sea, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Here is here!!" The other villagers had long been staring at the sea surface, and immediately shouted when they saw the ship.

Sure enough, a small boat came slowly, about one meter tall and three meter long. It belonged to an ordinary merchant ship, about two or three hundred materials, and can be often seen in the Bohai Sea.

If it weren't for not knowing how to build ships, Qin Li really wanted to build some small wooden boats and travel directly to Dengzhou area. The Bohai Sea is really suitable for boat trips.

"I'm here, find a place to stop!" The captain looked at the villagers greeting the beach and couldn't help but sigh. It's really easy to earn some extra money.

"Let them move faster, go and go back soon!"

"yes!"

There were only six people on the boat. Seeing the villagers constantly unloading goods, they felt like they were all bottles, jars, and even several dogs.

This is also a goods? Why does it look like moving?

The villagers spontaneously guarded the things and were not ready to get off after boarding the boat.

"Aren't you transporting goods?" the captain asked hurriedly.

"People are also goods, and they can be transported!" Qin Li said with a smile.

"Hey, you are actually preparing to escape. It's really a disaster for me!" The captain said with a sigh, looking at the twenty ferocious Han soldiers, speechless.

"How long does it take to get to Jeju Island?" Qin Li asked.

"If you have a smooth flow, it will be here in one day!" the captain said helplessly.

"You can make more than a dozen chunks of money in one day, and you businessmen really make a lot of money!"

"Mr. Jun, I don't want money, I don't want money anymore!"
