Chapter 74 The Island of Dreams

After the Yuan Dynasty became the country, the highly developed feudal society in the former Song and Jin areas degenerated into a semi-feudal and semi-slave society. Tens of millions of people became slaves. Especially in the early Yuan Dynasty, population trading became a large-scale trade.

The Yuan Dynasty was constantly uprising and wars continued frequently. Every time the Mongolian army went on a war, it forced a large number of people and prisoners of war as slaves, either divided or sold them, and called it "driven". "Mongolian officials" demonstrated their wealth by "driven".

There are big slave owners like "Pu Daguanren" everywhere.

Due to the harsh rule of law in the Yuan Dynasty and the corvee labor service were like mountains, a large number of refugees were caused. According to the "Yuan History - Household Registration", "There are one of the three refugees", and refugees actually account for one-third of the population!

Zhao Tianlin, a minister of the Yuan Dynasty, said: "All people who escape from the people are helpless. If they can survive, how can they escape?" This shows that.

Liu Bingzhong once wrote to Kublai Khan: "The labor service was very large, and the officials begged for it, but the people were unable to bear it, so many people fled."

"The Complete Collection of Zishan" records: "Today is still there, what will happen tomorrow? My flesh and blood are too hard to bear to pay taxes. Instead of dying silently, it is better to survive and escape."

These two factors provided great convenience for Li Luo to immigrate to sea, giving him confidence to migrate hundreds of thousands of refugees to Baodao within five years without attracting the attention of the Yuan court.

Just like now, the navy inspector clearly saw that he carried so many people, but he didn't care at all. Of course, it was commonplace.

So, the other party soon let it go. Li Luo once again ordered Shengfan to drive the boat.

Along the way, he met many islands. Li Luo always wondered if it was the destination, but he was rejected by Cui Xiuning.

On the morning of the fifth day, the fleet had already entered the Taizhou waters and encountered the patrol navy of Qianhu Station in Taizhou. As a result, the other party boarded the ship for inspection and spent two silver bottles to finally release it.

"It's almost there, there are more than ten nautical miles. You will definitely find Dachen Island in the afternoon at the latest!" Cui Xiuning said, looking at the island map.

Li Luo was excited, "It is best to find military supplies today, load the ship as soon as possible, and then go straight to the treasure island!"

Choi Soo-ning left the cabin and found the captain Park Hae-sung, and told him to fine-tune the rudder and go straight to the southeast.

Captain Park Hae-sung went out to sea at a young age. He was an old sailor who had been sailing for 30 years. He traveled to Jiangsu and Zhejiang many times. He had a lot of experience and had long been able to have the ability of a captain. However, he had always worked hard for the maritime merchants and his life was not easy.

Li Luo immediately made him feel grateful for his 8-month reward regardless of whether he went to sea or not. He even brought dozens of hardships to sailors, which solved Li Luo's problem of lack of sailors and sailors in an instant.

The captain and sailors on the "May Flower" and "Golden Deer" were all recommended by Park Hae-sung, and they are very experienced.

Park Hae-sung received the order from Choi Soo-ning and immediately directed the rudder to change the sails, adjusting the sails within just two minutes.

"Success" is the pilot ship. Once it fine-tunes the direction, the captains of the other three ships immediately followed.

Several small islands appeared again in sight along the way, but Cui Xiuning ignored them and stood upright on the bow of the boat motionlessly and stared at the front with energy. The sea breeze blew her hair and clothes, flying, making her feel as if she could fly away at any time.

Li Luo's face turned pale, like a weak and sick young man. Yan Jun and others, who had been alive before, were even more listless, as if they were seriously ill. They did not have Cui Xiuning's massage and physical therapy, and their condition was much worse than Li Luo.

Of course, there are also many people who are not seasick. Otherwise, if they encounter pirates, wouldn’t they be slaughtered?

"Madam is really a heavenly being!"

Yan Jun couldn't help but say to Yan Tong.

Yan Tong also said, "No, isn't it? Only our wolf master can match his wife with such a fairy figure."

The two of them said something and then shut up.

Because... I want to vomit, I don't have the strength to say more.

On the sea, standing on the bow of the boat, you can see an island twenty miles away. Cui Xiuning does not need a ship to accurately find Dachen Island directly. As long as Dachen Island enters this discovered range, she can lean over.

Almost an hour later, a vague island slowly appeared in the field of view, and only the general outline could be seen clearly.

Cui Xiuning stared at the island that was becoming clearer and clearer. Based on the distance, she judged for a while, and felt relieved, and then turned around to give Li Luo a tacit affirmation look.

Li Luo immediately understood.

"The island in front is more familiar with it the more you look at it!" Half an hour later, Li Luo suddenly said loudly, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Yan Tong and others were also excited and stared at Li Luo with some excitement.

Li Luo looked at the island, and his eyes gradually showed surprise, as if he couldn't believe it, and then turned into joy, and finally laughed.

"Hahaha, it's really Laojun's dream! Isn't this island the island that appears in my dream!"

At this time, the island was already very close, only seven or eight miles away, and the outline was clearly visible.

This is the island drawn on the military map!

When everyone saw that there was a pair of stone peaks standing side by side on the island, wasn’t it like a pair of cow horns?

The wolf master said that Laojun asked him to go to Niujiao Peak to find military supplies. Isn’t this all right?

"Congratulations to Lord Wolf! Congratulations to Madam!"

Everyone was surprised and happy. The wolf master really had a help from God!

Li Luo waved his hand, "Wait! The island is exactly the same as in my dream, but it may not be really something."

Ashan said: "Don't worry, there must be one! Since Laojun has a dream, he will naturally not let the wolf master be happy."

Li Luo was nervous, but he felt uneasy. What if someone took the lead and took it away first? Don’t pretend to be too bad, as that would affect morale.

After another half an hour, the fleet finally arrived at the island and found a place suitable for stopping and boarding to break down.

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning took more than a hundred people to the island with weapons in hand, and the others stayed on the boat and waited for news.

As soon as he stepped onto the ground, Yan Fox's seasickness began to recover.

This is a small island with a radius of several miles. The middle is lush with vegetation, and the edge is mainly a stone peak cave. The pair of stone peaks, like cow horns, are 100 meters away and very close.

A large group of seabirds nearby were alarmed and flew up, spreading from near to far, and there were bird flocks flying high one after another on the island.

Obviously, this is an uninhabited island.

Li Luo walked and said, "It's not bad, it's here. I've been here more than once in my dream. It's so weird!"

Choi Soo-ning cooperated with his performance and asked seriously: "It's really right?"

Li Luo nodded with certainty: "It's exactly the same, you will definitely not be wrong."

Soon, everyone came to the two stone peaks. The pair of stone peaks were more than 30 meters high, connected at the bottom, and there were several caves below. One of the caves was more than 1 meter wide, but was blocked by a pile of stones. If you don't pay attention, you really can't see any abnormality.

Everyone was immediately excited when they saw this big cave that was obviously artificially blocked.

There must be something inside!

"Move the stone away!" Li Luo ordered.
