Chapter 292: Study in the United States

More than 30 kilometers west of Chang'an (Cordoba), at the foot of a rolling hill, the turquoise flowing water converges into a long river. On one side of the channel are steep and smooth mountain rocks, and on the other side are green shrubs and plants.
Two shepherds drove five or six hundred cattle and sheep to drink water by the river, followed by a family of four shepherds on horseback.
A middle-aged Chinese, two thirteen-four teenagers and a fifteen-six-year-old girl.
The middle-aged Chinese surname is Huang Mingsheng, a small businessman who did business in Nanyang in the early years. The situation in Han Dynasty was stable in 1875. Huang Sheng followed Hu Yaji and other Nanyang merchants to move to South America, and then stayed for four years.
Unlike Hu Yaji, Chen Jinzhong, and others, Huang Sheng did not have extraordinary talents and ambitions for career development. Therefore, after moving to Han country with an old man, Huang Sheng took out his accumulated property and bought a hundred acres in the suburbs of Xinjing. The fields and two thousand ranches have since led a peaceful life as a rural rich man.
In early August 1879, the news that the National Defense Force occupied Argentina and the government encouraged Chinese families to move to the newly occupied area reached Xinjing. With the encouragement of old friends in the surrounding areas, Huang Sheng gritted his teeth and determined that his land in Xinjing would be lower than the market price. 20% of the price was sold to the government, and then under the guarantee of local government officials, a loan was borrowed from the Royal Bank, relying on various sources of funds to raise, Huang Sheng led a family of five young and old in Changan The small town of Jinjiang (Carlos Pass) ten kilometers away settled down.
Jinjiang Town is surrounded by mountains and water, it is 200 meters higher than Chang'an City, the climate is cool, the highway is connected to the surrounding area, and the transportation is convenient and the environment is beautiful. I bought a lot of land from the town, and I plan to take advantage of the east wind of Changan City's planning and construction to build my own land into a good place for the people in the capital to relax and vacation.
When Huang Sheng bought a small town on the outskirts of Jinjiang Town, he only liked the natural environment there, but not as much as the businessmen considered.
Five hundred acres of woodland at the foot of the mountain, a scattered paddock, four hundred sheep, and one hundred and fifty cattle. The family business Huang Sheng made in his half-life in the South China Sea was replaced with land and cattle and sheep in the surrounding area under his feet.
South America and the Han country are rich in agricultural resources. An ordinary Chinese family of five people generally owns about 100 acres of farmland or about 500 acres of pasture woodland.
Take the Huang Sheng family as an example. According to the law issued by the Han government, the adult family head Huang Sheng and his wife can buy 20 acres of land at 40% of the market price. Because their three children are underage, the government will The standard of 5 acres of land, 15 acres of land are allocated free of charge.
Each household has a minimum of 35 acres of farmland and a maximum of 500 acres of farmland. The farmland area above the upper limit increases additional land taxes.
The farmland, ranch, and woodland owned by the Huang Sheng family are within the government-defined upper limit. They originally sold the land in Xinjing and borrowed silver dollars from Impressions. After purchasing the land, the remaining part was spent on adding agricultural equipment and purchasing Cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, pigs and other livestock.
There is a large number of poultry and livestock in La Plata. The prices of some common cattle and sheep are even cheaper than the grain in the mainland. In addition to spending money on cattle and sheep, Chinese families with young labor can pass Hunt wild cattle, horses, and deer to obtain livestock.
Huang Sheng's physical condition is not very good. The illness left in his early years in Nanyang made him unable to hunt wild animals in the forest like a retired Chinese soldier. Therefore, the two stallions and four small South American hybrid horses in their family are all Bought from the market.
Free-range chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep is not an easy job. After four years of breeding in the South American and Han countries, Huang Sheng only realized the truth of agriculture and animal husbandry.
The scale of livestock breeding should be maintained within a certain range. Generally speaking, it is most economical and appropriate to take households as the unit, breeding area is 400-600 acres, and the number of cattle and sheep is less than 2000 heads.
Beyond this limit livestock are susceptible to blast.
At five o'clock in the morning, before dawn, she went out to graze, and walked the mountain road for nearly two hours to the newly purchased woodland.
Looking up to observe the sun leaning towards the tip of the mountain forest, Huang Sheng estimated that it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.
Beside the forest near the stream, two shepherds shuttled between the tumbling flocks. The two children jumped down the pony and shouted the name of the shepherd to prevent them from disturbing the sheep to drink water.
Both sons are complete and the family is harmonious. Looking at the naive and lively behavior of several children in the cattle and sheep, Huang Sheng's mouth showed a happy smile.
Live and work in peace, return to the curtain. The quiet and busy life of the farmhouse is a scene that I would never have imagined when wandering in the early years.
The sun gradually tilted westward, and about half an hour later, Huang Sheng estimated that it was time to go home, greeted the three children, and then the father and son rushed the cattle and sheep together towards the direction of home. .
On the rough gravel roads along the Jinjiang and Chang'an front lines, a team of more than 20 people met Huang Sheng's team of four who were driving cattle and sheep.
"Master, a herd of cows and sheep is blocking the road in front of you. You and Master Huang sit in the car for a while, and wait for the villain to pass away the herdsman who blocks the road, and then continue to hurry."
Rushing Mafra drove the front curtain, whispered.
"Nothing more, wait for the flock to leave before we leave."
A middle-aged Chinese with a braided hat and braids said.
"Hey, listen to the master."
The driver responded in a low voice, turned around and sat in front of the carriage, tightened the reins with his right hand, and watched the direction of the flock seriously.
"Dad, look at that guy with braids!"
Huang Sheng rode in front of the herd of cattle and sheep, focusing on the sheep behind him, and suddenly heard the younger son's surprise cry.
"Rong Tao, don't be rude!"
The driver's face was very ugly, Huang Sheng turned around and scolded the younger son.
"Oh……"
He was scolded by his father, and the young Chinese boy named Rong Tao replied in a low voice, no longer snoring. ...
"Zhang Gong, this South American Chinese is really ... audacious!"
Inside the carriage, a Chinese man of about twenty-six or six heard the exclaiming voice of a teenager outside, just about to say what he was saying, thinking about the scene at the moment, and finally changing a word.
"It is not easy for overseas Chinese to discuss life in a foreign country, and folk customs are influenced by foreigners. It is inevitable that they will be rough and sturdy."
Zhang Zhenxun pondered for a moment and said.
"The state of affairs is not smooth, and the court is constantly worried about internal and external troubles. If this South American Han country can abandon its former suspicions and coordinate with the court, Master Chen and everyone in the dynasty who stayed in the United States will not be in such a difficult situation."
"The great affairs of the kingdom are under the control of Xianda, a famous minister. Zhang Caojie Caomin can only introduce Mr. Huang to His Royal Highness. As for whether His Highness will agree with Mr. Chen's suggestion, it is not Zhang who can control it."
Shortly after Zhang Baoyi arrived in the South American country, Zhang Zhenxun also came to the Han country. The battle of Buenos Aires was over. The situation of the Whala Plata plain in the Han country was completed. Therefore, Zhang Zhenxun contacted the Nanyang merchants who remained in South America. The Han government borrowed 5 million silvers ~ EbookFREE.me ~ With the credit of supporting the government, Zhang Zhenxun met with Li Mingyuan directly, and in the ensuing favor of Li Mingyuan, he was given the responsibility to assist in managing the National Bank of Han.
On the other hand, affected by the sudden rise of the South American Han country, young children studying in the United States and Chen Lanbin, who is in charge of the affairs of young children in the United States, are restricted by the US government, making the original study abroad study difficult.
Chen Lanbin is one of the main officials sent by the Manchu court to the United States. If the study of young children is blocked because of American factors, it will not affect Chen Lanbin ’s career, but after South American officials such as Wang Youtian intervened in Chinese affairs in the United States Not only nearly half of the Chinese workers and Chinese people were taken away by Wang Youtian and emigrated to the Han Kingdom. At the same time, the young children of the United States who had high hopes from the Qing government were also taken away by Wang Youtian.
Pan Mingxuan, Shi Jinyong, Cao Jifu, Tan Yaoxun, etc. originally in history or died early or were dissatisfied with the rule of the Qing Dynasty and actively cut off their braids abroad. With the encouragement and cooperation of relevant personnel in the South American Han country, they avoided the supervision of the Qing Dynasty. The officials persecuted them and fled to Han to set up the US Commerce Office, and then, under the arrangement of Wang Youtian, sent them to Germany, France and other European countries to continue their studies. After returning from their studies, they will play a greater role in national construction. effect.
Every young child studying in the United States has gone through a lot of screening before rushing to the United States. When the news of more than a dozen young children studying in the United States fleeing the Han country passed back to the Manchu government, the first unlucky person was Chen Lanbin. Therefore, for his own officials Hat and life, Chen Lanbin learned the old methods of the Han Chinese governors in the southeast of the mainland, intending to reach a compromise with the Han Dynasty secretly, and maintain the shelf of the affairs of young children in the United States on the bright side, so that the Manchu government would not directly seize it as a scapegoat. deal with.
