"Net talking about some boundless nonsense, how unlucky it is for a man to deliver a baby." Bai Qiaoqiao glanced at Li Mu, and only regarded his words as a joke. No matter what Li Mu said, she just didn't allow it, just fiddling with the Luban lock in her hand, and studying the many changes that Li Mu taught her about the Luban lock.

Bai Qiaoqiao is very serious about learning the art of mechanism. And for Bai Qiaoqiao's delivery, Li Mu is also very serious.

From this book in his hand, Li Mu had a further understanding of Tang Shi midwifery. After learning about it, he became even more worried about it. When Li Mu was looking for a midwife before, during the 'interview', all the midwives said that giving birth to a child was 'passing through the ghost door', and no matter how familiar the veteran was, he didn't dare to guarantee that it would be foolproof. At that time, Li Mu thought that the midwives were afraid of taking responsibility, but now after reading the book in his hand, he realized that what they said was true, and giving birth to a child in this era was really a big luck.

Before the crossing, in the costume TV series that Li Mu watched, there were scenes of giving birth, which were probably the same, the people inside were shouting hoarsely, and the people outside were in a hurry, and occasionally the midwife came out, there must be a line: "Hurry up and prepare hot water!" ”

When watching the TV series, Li Mu felt that this was a scene that the screenwriter didn't understand history and fabricated at random, but now it seems that the screenwriters didn't write it scribble, at least the book in their hands was from beginning to end, and this sentence was a bit useful. Hot water can play two roles, one is "thermal expansion and cold contraction", in the mother's childbirth, hot water can help her expand the uterine ostium, which is conducive to childbirth. Second, hot water can be disinfected to reduce infection.

As for the rest of the book, it is basically useless, but it can play some role in popularizing science.

For example, the book says that during the Qin and Han dynasties, children were not born at home, but by the grave and the road, and a temporary straw shed was built as a temporary delivery room. When the pregnant woman is about to give birth, the pregnant woman is moved into the straw hut, and after the pregnant woman gives birth to the child at the full moon, she can carry the child home to live. The book does not explain why this was done, but Li Mu thought about it, probably related to the small chance of survival at that time, giving birth to a child was regarded as an unclean thing, and it was unlucky to give birth at home, if the child died, or the pregnant woman died of dystocia, it was buried directly near the road and the grave.

And having children at home was a matter only in the Wei and Jin dynasties. This also shows that by the Wei and Jin dynasties, the survival rate of children born had increased.

But the world's prejudice against giving birth to children has not changed much, and the medical conditions have not improved, Li Mu is not surprised at all, the reason is very simple, doctors in this era are all men, which man would be willing for a male doctor to deliver his wife? They are all looking for midwives, but the midwives do not know medical skills, and they only have experience passed down from generation to generation, and each generation is almost the same.

"What should I do......

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li Mu's mind, there is a way! If there are no female doctors, then train female doctors. Build a maternity hospital, so that the survival rate of newborns will be greatly improved.

"Money-" Li Mu glanced at Bai Qiaoqiao, and said in his heart, just do good deeds and accumulate virtue, God bless the safety of the mother and son, I have this money!

Bai Qiaoqiao fell asleep leaning on the head of the bed, Li Mu walked over, helped her lie down gently, covered her with a blanket, and sat next to her. Looking at Bai Qiaoqiao and the child in her belly, Li Mu was sure that he had come to a new world, not a game. This feeling of blood connection cannot be faked.

Li Mu's hand lightly rested on Bai Qiaoqiao's belly, thinking of Wang Ou. She was a month later than Bai Qiaoqiao, and the child was born in two months. Li Mu confirmed the location of Fat Da in the system, and Wang Ou should be in the mountains west of Shuzhou at this time, but Li Mu couldn't figure out why Wang Ou wanted to go to that kind of place.

Of course, there is also a possibility that Fat Da ran out by himself and ran away from home. It followed its instinctive call and went back to its hometown. If that's the case, this kid is really a cheat.

No matter what the case is, Wang Ou shouldn't be able to take care of it, Bai Qiaoqiao hasn't had a full moon yet, so he can't catch up.

……

In a few days it will be the autumn equinox, and after the autumn equinox, the crops will also enter the harvest time. Zhang Tianai took Jinyiwei out of the city for a walk and learned about the surrounding farmland. In several nearby counties, old farmers said that looking at the current situation, this year's harvest is ironclad. Luoyang is the focus of the implementation of the new policy, Li Mu, as the master of Luoyang City, should also arrange the granary as soon as possible, and wait for the farmers to harvest the grain, hand over the public grain into the warehouse, and have grain in the warehouse, he doesn't have to worry about it, otherwise, he is always worried about the purchase of grain by the heir hall, and he still hasn't figured out why the opponent would make such a stupid move, could it be that Miss Lu, who was rumored to be amazing, missed the new grain?

After nearly half a month of hard work, the 'Luoyang Station' of Chidao has begun to take shape, Li Mu built a pergola next to the construction site, for the workers to rest when they are replaced, drink a sip of herbal tea to quench their thirst, stay together for a long time, the workers are much less afraid of Li Mu, from time to time also chat with him for a while, talk about the family, talk about the neighbors, Li Mu also likes to chat with them, for him, this is an excellent way to get the news, that is, by chatting with them, Li Mu knew how those businessmen disobeyed him, and he wrote down all the strokes in the small notebook.

The topic of conversation today is the crops that are about to be harvested. Talking about crops, everyone's face is different, these Liba, generations have been doing coolies in Luoyang City for a living, if there is no new deal, it is impossible to have the opportunity to have their own land, but this year they not only got the field, but also divided a few families to share a set of Zhenguan plow, although they have no oxen, but there is strength, Zhenguan plough does not use oxen, people can pull, these people who are willing to work hard is naturally not a problem. Although they have never planted the land, but the matter of farming, itself is not very difficult, according to the gourd painting scoop can be planted, no matter what the yield, looking at the lush seedlings, they feel good, they do not have too much expectations for the output of grain, can pay the public grain, enough for next year's rations, and then leave the seeds out, they are satisfied.

A few of them are the only laborers in the family, and they have already made plans, and when it is time to harvest, they will take a few days off from the construction site and come back after finishing the work at home. Li Mu also agreed, promising them to take a day off at the construction site, and go home to harvest for a day, so that although the construction site delayed a little progress, it would not stop work.

Seeing that the sun was over, Li Mu should also go home to accompany Bai Qiaoqiao, and after waking up a few lazy sleepers, Li Mu got on his horse and walked towards the city leisurely. In the past few days, the other party has not seen any action, it seems that he has stopped, and Li Mu has withdrawn the guards, anyway, there are brocade guards everywhere in this city, and in broad daylight, the other party can't get a bargain.

When passing by Nanshi, Li Mu happened to meet Zhang Tianai who was patrolling the city, Li Mu remembered that Zhang Tianai had wanted a hairpin from a jewelry store in Nanshi several times, and today he happened to meet it here, and he just bought it for her, so it was a small surprise, saving him from going home every day to eat flying vinegar.

Seeing Zhang Tianai and the brocade guards go away, Li Mu found the jewelry store that Zhang Tianai had mentioned. was about to get off the horse and buy a hairpin for her, when she suddenly felt an itch on the back of her neck, Li Mu was startled, just thought it was a sneak attack, raised his hand and patted it.

"Smack!"

A disgusting touch permeated his fingers, and Li Mu withdrew his hand and saw a hand full of green mucus.

"What is this?" He looked over and saw a grasshopper leg that was still trembling. Li Mu couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he actually let a bug be scared like this. He shook his hand, muttering, 'The grasshoppers after autumn won't last a few days,' and he pulled a handkerchief from his bosom to wipe his hands clean.

Suddenly, his whole body seemed to be pointed, and his whole body froze.

"Grasshopper!"

"Locusts!"

Some points in my mind that couldn't be connected suddenly connected. Li Mu looked up at the sky, like a dragonfly flying by the pond, although it was not dense, but it was also visible to the naked eye, countless flying locusts.

Li Mu didn't care about buying any hairpins, so he rode on horseback and galloped out of the city.

……

(Refreshed in twenty minutes-)

Li Mu rode a horse to the farmland outside Luoyang City, and went into the field to take a closer look, as he expected, the field was full of newborn grasshoppers, the big ones were about an inch, and the small ones were only the length of a finger, one by one, fresh and green, or holding the leaves of the seedlings, or holding the stems, moving their mouthparts like chainsaws, chewing all the time.

Li Mu stretched out his hand and touched a handful of rice ears, it was the time of grouting, it had not yet fully grown, if it was harvested at this time, all it would get was 'deflated', and it would not be able to grind rice at all! In an instant, Li Mu felt that his eyes were dark, and he sat on the ground.

How so! In a good year with good wind and rain, how can there be a locust plague? Why don't you come early, why don't you come late, just when the crops are about to be harvested? Li Mu suddenly remembered Jihetang's previous move to purchase stored grain, and suddenly felt a chill all over his body. Could it be that the heirs knew that there was a locust plague this year? So they bought the grain stock early, just to hold the grain to their own weight? Or is this locust plague their doing, and how did they do it?
