More than 30 kilometers west of Chang'an (Córdoba), at the foot of a rolling hill, turquoise water converges into a long river, with steep and smooth rocks on one side and green shrubs and aquatic plants on the other.

Two shepherd dogs 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 teenagers of thirteen or fourteen and a girl of fifteen or sixteen.

In 1875, when the situation in the Han Kingdom was stable, Huang Sheng moved to South America with Hu Yaji and other Nanyang merchants, and then stayed for four years.

Unlike Hu Yaji, Chen Jinzhong and others, Huang Sheng did not have extraordinary talent and ambition to enter the development, so after moving to the Han Kingdom with his family, Huang Sheng took out the accumulated property and bought 100 acres of land and 2,000 pastures in the suburbs of Xinjing, and since then he has lived the life of a rich man in the countryside with peace of mind.

At the beginning of August 1879, when the news of the occupation of Argentina by the Wehrmacht and the government's encouragement for Chinese families to move to the newly occupied areas reached Xinjing, Huang Sheng gritted his teeth and made up his mind to sell his land in Xinjing to the government at a price of 20% lower than the market price.

Jinjiang town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the altitude is 200 meters higher than Chang'an City, the climate is cool, there is a highway connection with the surrounding areas, the transportation is convenient, the environment is beautiful, some discerning businessmen fancy the superior natural conditions of Jinjiang Town, have purchased a large amount of land from the town, ready to take advantage of the east wind of Chang'an City planning and construction, and build their own land into a good place to undertake the leisure and vacation of the people in the capital.

When Huang Sheng bought a small town on the outskirts of Jinjiang Town, he only took a fancy to the natural environment there, but did not think about it as much as the merchants.

500 acres of woodland at the foot of the mountain, a small scattered pasture, 400 sheep, 150 cattle. Huang Sheng spent half his life in Nanyang and earned all the family business for the land and cattle and sheep in the surrounding area under his feet.

The Han country in South America is rich in agricultural resources, and an ordinary Chinese family of five generally owns about 100 acres of farmland or about 500 acres of pasture and woodland.

Taking Huang Sheng's family as an example, Huang Sheng, the head of an adult family, and his wife, according to the decree issued by the Han government, were able to buy 20 mu of land at a market price of 40 percent, and their three children were underage, and the government allocated 15 mu of land free of charge according to the standard of 5 mu of land per person.

Each household has a minimum of 35 acres of farmland and a maximum of 500 acres of farmland, and additional land taxes are added to the area of farmland above the upper limit.

Huang Sheng's family owned farmland, pastures, and forest land, all within the government's prescribed limit, and the silver dollars they borrowed from the land in Xinjing were spent on buying agricultural equipment and buying cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, pigs and other livestock.

There are a large number of poultry and livestock in the La Plata area, and the prices of some common cattle and sheep are even cheaper than the grain in the mainland, and in addition to spending money on cattle, sheep and other livestock, Chinese families with young and strong labor can also obtain livestock by hunting wild cattle, horses, deer, etc.

Huang Sheng's health was not very good, and the illness left by his early years in the South Seas prevented him from hunting wild livestock in the mountains and forests like retired Chinese soldiers, so the two pack horses and four small South American mongrels owned by the family were bought from the market.

Raising chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep is not an easy job, after four years of breeding life in South America, Huang Sheng understood a truth in agriculture and animal husbandry.

The scale of livestock breeding should maintain a certain range, generally speaking, with the family as a unit, the breeding area is 400-600 acres, and the number of cattle and sheep is less than 2,000 heads is the most economical and suitable.

Livestock beyond this limit are susceptible to pestilence.

At five o'clock in the morning, before dawn, I went out to graze my cattle and walked for nearly two hours on the mountain road to the newly purchased woodland.

Looking up at the sun leaning towards the top of the mountain forest, Huang Sheng estimated that the time was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

Two sheepdogs weave through the round flock of sheep by the brook, and two children jump off the pony beneath them, calling out the names of the shepherd dogs to prevent them from disturbing the flock to drink.

Both sons and families are harmonious. Looking at the innocent and lively actions of several children among the cattle and sheep, the corners of Huang Sheng's mouth showed a happy smile.

Live and work in peace and contentment, and return to the curtain. The peaceful, busy farm life is a scene that I would not have dared to imagine when I was wandering in the South Seas in my early years.

The sun gradually set in the west, and after about half an hour, Huang Shengwei felt that it was time to go home, said hello to the three children, and then the father and son drove the cattle and sheep together in the direction of home.

On the simple gravel road on the first line of Jinjiang and Chang'an, a convoy of more than 20 people and Huang Sheng's team driving cattle and sheep happened to meet.

"Master, a group of cattle and sheep in front of you are blocking the road, you and Master Huang will sit in the car for a while, wait for the villain to send the shepherd who is blocking the way, and then continue to hurry."

The chauffeur pulled the curtain in front of the car and whispered.

"Don't be troublesome, wait for the sheep to leave us."

A middle-aged Chinese man wearing a melon skin hat and braids spoke.

"Hey, the little one listens to the master's orders."

The charioteer replied in a low voice, turned and sat down in front of the carriage, his right hand tightening the reins, and solemnly watching the direction of the sheep.

"Dad, look at that guy with braids!"

Huang Sheng rode a horse in front of the cattle and sheep, and his attention was focused on the sheep behind, when he suddenly heard the surprised shout of his youngest son.

"Rong Tao, don't be rude!"

The face of the chariot groom was very ugly, and Huang Sheng turned his head and scolded his youngest son.

"Oku......"

was scolded by his father, and the Chinese boy with the nickname Rong Tao replied in a low voice and stopped talking. ……

"Zhang Gong, this South American Chinese is really ...... Daring! ”

Inside the carriage, a Chinese man of about twenty-five or sixteen heard the exclamation of the young man outside, and was about to say what was in his mouth.

"It is not easy for overseas Chinese to make a living in a foreign land, and the folk customs are influenced by foreigners, so it is inevitable that they will be more rude and tough."

Zhang Zhenxun pondered for a while and spoke.

"If the South American Han Kingdom can abandon its past suspicions and coordinate with the imperial court, Lord Chen and all the people of the Celestial Empire who are stranded in the United States will not be in such a difficult situation."

"The major affairs of the dynasty are in charge of all the famous ministers and virtuous people, and what Zhang can do is to introduce Mr. Huang to His Royal Highness the King of Han, as for whether His Royal Highness will agree with Lord Chen's suggestion, it is not up to Zhang to influence."

Soon after Zhang Baoyi arrived in South America, Zhang Zhenxun also came to Han, the Battle of Buenos Aires ended, and the Han State swallowed the Plata Plain, so Zhang Zhenxun contacted the Nanyang merchants who stayed in South America and lent 5 million taels of silver to the Han government at one time.

With the credit of borrowing money to support the government, Zhang Zhenxun was able to meet Li Mingyuan directly, and was subsequently favored by Li Mingyuan, who entrusted him with the important task of assisting in the management of the National Bank of Han.

On the other hand, due to the sudden rise of the Han Kingdom in South America, both the young children in the United States and Chen Lanbin, who was in charge of the affairs of the young children studying in the United States, were restricted by the US government, which made it difficult to carry out the originally planned study abroad.

Chen Lanbin was one of the main officials sent by the Manchu court to the United States, and if the plan for young children to study abroad was blocked because of American factors, it would not affect Chen Lanbin's career, but after Wang Youtian and other South American officials intervened in Chinese affairs in the United States, not only nearly half of the Chinese workers and Chinese were taken away by Wang Youtian and immigrated to the Han Kingdom, but at the same time, the young children who were placed high hopes by the Manchu government in the United States were also taken away by Wang Youtian.

Pan Mingjun, Shi Jinyong, Cao Jifu, Tan Yaoxun and other young children who originally died early in history or were dissatisfied with the rule of the Qing Dynasty and took the initiative to cut off their braids abroad, with the instigation and cooperation of relevant personnel of the Han State in South America, escaped the persecution of the Manchu regulatory officials, fled to the Han Kingdom and set up a commercial office in the United States, and then under Wang Youtian's arrangement, they were sent to Germany, France and other European countries to continue their studies, so as to play a greater role in national construction after returning from school.

Every young child in the United States has gone through a lot of screening before rushing to the United States, and when the news of more than a dozen young children in the United States fleeing to the Han State came back to the Manchu government, the first unlucky person was Chen Lanbin, therefore, for the sake of his official hat and life, Chen Lanbin learned the old methods of the Han governors in the southeast of the mainland, and planned to secretly reach a compromise with the Han side, and maintain the shelf of the affairs of young children in the United States on the surface, so as not to be directly caught by the Manchu government as a scapegoat.
