According to the Treaty of Nanking signed at Nanking on March 15, 1841, the Chinese Empire and the British Empire gave China the area north of the Ganges River in India. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info [Full Text Reading] Until today, January 1, 1883, it has been almost 42 years, half a century is enough time for two generations to grow, and there has never been a rebellion or uprising in the North Indian Province of the Chinese Empire.

Because the owner of the land here is already of Han descent. From the clean-up movement that began in 1844 to the sixties of the 19th century, it has basically ended, and there is no longer a single Indian in the North Indian Province of the empire, and the Indian women who remain have all joined the Han nationality and become Han Chinese.

The province of North India encompassed the land north of the Ganges River in later India plus Nepal, Bhutan, and Sikkim. The kings of the last three countries, the titles are still retained, but the land has been incorporated into the Chinese province of North India. There are about 30 million people living in North Indian Province, of which 53 are of Han Chinese descent, 31 are Gurkhas, 15 are of Chinese Tibetan descent, and 1 is other. And the original owner has been living with Uncle Black Africa for a long time.

Zhang Huaxiang is 59 years old, and looking at the children in front of him who are busy preparing for his 60th birthday banquet, he feels that his life is very satisfying. Zhang Huaxiang's ancestral home is in Henan and he is the third child in the family. After the days of war and famine, their family was left with his second brother and him. When he was twenty years old, he chose to go into the ranks of immigrants.

His life is unremarkable in his own words, but for the children, they love nothing more than their father to tell him about his legendary life.

In 1842, Zhang Huaxiang's first place was Lanfang, in the overseas territories of the empire, as long as you are diligent and hard-working, you can always make money, and there is a lot of land in Southeast Asia waiting to be cultivated. As soon as Zhang Huaxiang arrived at the port of Pontianak, he was told that he had obtained a large enough piece of land, and he chose to get potatoes in this more than 20 acres of land, because it was potatoes that saved his life when he was a child.

Perhaps as luck would have it, during the harvest season, potatoes became the most sought-after agricultural product in the empire, because the Royal Food Company, a subsidiary of the Royal Consortium, developed potato chips, and then Pizza Hut Restaurant Group and KFC Restaurant Group successively launched potato chips in the market, and all food companies were buying potatoes this year.

Zhang Huaxiang made a lot of money. The income of 20 acres of land was 27,900 yuan, which was enough for Zhang Huaxiang to buy a small house in Shanghai, which was the most prosperous at that time.

The wisdom of the common people is the real wisdom, Zhang Huaxiang himself knows that this time is just a coincidence, and the farmers know best what their land is suitable for. The next year, he hired a few "contractors" and began to grow rice, but the natives were lazy and spent a year trying to figure out how to make them more diligent. Of course, this year's time he spent on learning, the Chinese people do not want to gain knowledge, Zhang Huaxiang is no exception, he spent a year learning literacy, not reading much, but the teachers in the adult education school did teach him a lot of principles of being a person and doing things.

This year, he didn't make much money, but he got a wife, a Dongying woman, this year is the best year for him, he has money, a house, a land and a wife. It doesn't get any better than that.

Zhang Huaxiang was 22 years old this year, and it can be said that he has accumulated thousands of family fortunes.

In 1843, he decided to venture again, and he took his pregnant Oriental wife to the empire's newly acquired province of North India, a plain north of the Ganges.

The Chinese definitely do not lack courage.

Land is the traditional knot of the Chinese, Zhang Huaxiang is no exception, he bought 200 acres of land near Kolkata at a very low price, began his 37-year farming career, he did not want to go into business, but he feels that his current life is very good, and living in peace is the best.

Today is the day of his 60th birthday, and it is customary for the people to celebrate the birthday of the elderly at the age of 59, which is also the custom caused by the short average life expectancy in the past. In 1840, the average age of Chinese was 25 years old, yes, 25 years old, and this value has now increased to 66 years old, which is an absolute miracle.

Of course, in addition to celebrating his birthday today, the most important thing is the separation of his Zhang family.

According to the traditional habits of the Chinese, the eldest son and sister have to inherit the main property of the family, and Zhang Huaxiang is a little bit of money anyway, so there are several concubines, and Zhang Huaxiang has five sons and four daughters under his knees, which is considered a big family. Except for a few daughters who were married off and a dowry for the youngest daughter of the unmarried, the rest were all for the five sons.

Changfang's two sons, Jizu and Jizong, were assigned the land and ancestral house in Lao Tzu's name. The remaining three sons, Zhang Huaxiang, also prepared a house for each of them and his stake in the agricultural company.

In fact, Zhang Huaxiang's five sons except for the eldest are all looking down on the property given to them by their father, they are all highly educated people, and now they all have their own jobs, they don't look down on their old son's fields, but they feel that they are still young and can't be tied up by the land, and the five people have already discussed that all these properties will be temporarily managed by the boss, and all the proceeds will be used to support several mothers. The Zhang family is not a wealthy family, and there will be no intrigue in the TV series.

The eldest son is only 40 years old, and he is in the prime of life, not to mention the others, he has his own career.

The eldest step-grandfather is the heir cultivated by Zhang Huaxiang, and he has been honestly taking care of the fields under his father, and now his sons are in high school. The second Jizong is the best of the brothers, and now he is an editor in the North India newspaper of the Southwest Daily, and he is a cultural person with a high income and a high social status.

Zhang Huaxiang took another three-room concubine, all of whom were Indian women, and according to the provisions of the Imperial Marriage Law, Han women were not concubines, so Zhang Huaxiang could only find three Indian women who were eye-catching. Of course, Zhang's wife is from Dongying Province, which is not a pure Han nationality, but according to the regulations stipulated in the imperial law that marrying a Han is a Han person, Zhang Huaxiang's eldest wife is also a Han person.

Maybe because the sons and daughters are all mixed-race, they are okay in appearance. The third one, the fourth one, and the fifth one, because they were all born to Indian women, have a bit of a dark complexion. It is also this kind of bloodline, the third child has become a section chief when he works in the government department, and the fourth and fifth children are all soldiers in the army, according to the usual family backgrounds like Zhang Kaikai and Zhang Kaixing, they will definitely be arranged by the government to the local police department after retirement. These sectors are precisely the most secure ones.

Zhang Huaxiang himself also knows the situation of these sons, so what he is really worried about is the marriage of his youngest daughter, his youngest daughter is called Zhang Xingxing, who is almost twenty years old, and looks extremely symbolic.

A year ago, Zhang Huaxiang thought about finding an in-law for his youngest daughter, because she was 18 years old when the imperial law allowed marriage. But at that time, Zhang Xingxing was in the third year of high school to prepare for the college entrance examination, and his sons were all people who received higher education, and they all knew what freedom of love and marriage was.

In the end, Zhang Xingxing had to ask for help from the teacher, and finally Zhang Huaxiang gave up under the mediation and threat of the school teacher and the director of the neighborhood committee. The director of the neighborhood committee told him at the time: "The freedom of marriage is a law formulated by His Majesty the Emperor himself, Lao Zhang, why do you want to disobey the holy order?"

The emperor is definitely a god-like existence for ordinary people like Zhang Huaxiang, of course he has to be obedient.

There are many examples like Zhang Huaxiang in the land of the empire, but they are basically solved by the neighborhood committees rooted in the bottom, of course, some traditions will not change, but there are always some new things to join.
