793 Fertility strategies
Of course, it's useless to just shout "come on", as the Ming Emperor, you have to do something to improve.
In the past, the National General Hospital of Jingshi had been established, and later, at the request of Tianfu, the National General Hospital was also established. And at the beginning of the construction, there are already plans for 10 and 50 years.
The 10-year plan refers to the opening of the Daming National General Hospital in Beijing for a period of time, and after summing up the experience, one such public hospital will be set up in each province within 10 years.
The 50-year plan is to train as many doctors as possible in the national general hospitals, as long as the national treasury is fully financial. Then, relying on these doctors, we will strive to set up a Daming National General Hospital in each province and county.
As a result, Emperor Chongzhen thought of a method related to childbirth, and immediately issued a holy decree.
This matter is closely related to the lives of the people, and it spread as soon as possible.
"Have you heard that the emperor has issued a new will, which is related to Wen Po!"
"What kind of will, it has something to do with Wen Po? Could it be that the emperor will impart knowledge related to Wen Po? ”
“……”
The reason why they discussed it like this was that Emperor Chongzhen was almost omnipotent and omniscient in their impression.
The emperor not only knows how to lead troops to fight, but is invincible; I also know that the steam engine was developed from the aspect of boiling water, and there is a steam train that is now running on the ground, which has something to do with the skills of many craftsmen! There are others, and even many aspects, the emperor has also published books, such as chemistry, physics, analytic geometry, etc., and even those Xiyi admire the emperor's knowledge very much.
Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Beijing, it is not unusual to say that the emperor still knows the knowledge related to Wen Po. Although it seems to be a little disrespectful to the emperor, that's what they think.
"Listen to me, the notice of the imperial court said that the emperor issued an edict to the provinces, asking the provinces to invite the famous Wen Po in the province, so that they could brainstorm and tell all the good delivery methods, and after summarizing them, they will play the royal front."
"Hey, that's a great thing! If those stable women really tell their unique skills so that more people can know it, it will simply benefit one party, and the merit is immeasurable! But...... But will those stable women be willing? ”
"Of course I do, I definitely do!"
"It's impossible, if they are willing, others will have their own unique skills in the future, then they don't have a unique business, others won't invite them, and the money will be less!"
"Nonsense, if that's it, of course few of them wouldn't be willing. However, the emperor has a decree, as long as there is indeed a unique job, which belongs to a few Wen Po, then this Wen Po will be awarded the title of master, and she will have a knighthood and lead the court! ”
"Really? The emperor is really wise and powerful, this method really benefits all sentient beings, great merit! ”
"Wait, there's more! The emperor also said in the will that after bringing together the unique skills of the country's stable wife, after the emperor's imperial review, it will be implemented nationwide, and all married women can listen to the class and learn it. On the other hand, if you don't have that certificate, you can't deliver the baby! ”
"Oh, is that so? When I can sign up for the class, I can't wait! ”
"Wait, don't dream, it's a married woman, you can't be a big man!"
“…… Who said I was going to be a stable woman? You're going to be a stable woman! It's my mother-in-law.,Anyway, I'm idle at home.,If you can be a stable woman of the royal gift.,Then you can also have a lot of income! ”
“……”
That's right, another purpose of Emperor Chongzhen's policy is to let women as a group move, not just husbands and children, nor do they pretend to weave or anything. Give more jobs to the women's group and let more of them participate in the construction of society.
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen will not really just cultivate a stable woman, more precisely, a series of childbirth-related knowledge such as midwifery and maternal maintenance should be learned by them.
There are different levels, the most basic is midwifery, that is, a licensed midwife; Then there are other more advanced knowledge, that is, the knowledge of maternity and baby care. For these, when he first became a father in his previous life, he had already accompanied his daughter-in-law to participate in various training seminars and the like, and he had experience in postpartum care, so he could be a mentor in this era.
Don't underestimate this knowledge, in this era, many women do not die at the moment of giving birth, but because they do not pay attention to the details of childbirth after giving birth, resulting in various diseases and even death. The same is true for children, the premature mortality rate is very high, and there are also factors that do not raise babies scientifically.
When the conditions are ripe in the future, a new department will be added to the national general hospital, which is the obstetrics department. As for gynecology, China has had it since ancient times.
In addition to this means of increasing the population of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen felt that it was not enough, and issued another holy decree.
Anyone who has three children over the age of three in the family shall be exempted from one place of hard labor; If there are five children over the age of three, and they are born to the same woman, they will be awarded the title of "Glorious Mother" and lead the court to the ninth grade.
In addition, all the children filed by the Yamen in the Ming Dynasty can enter the government school in the three years between the ages of seven and nine, free of tuition, and provide room and board.
This holy decree was impossible before, but in the twenty-three years of Chongzhen, it is no problem. There is only one reason, now there is money!
In the past, labor was all free of charge, and it was the kind that forced the people to work for free. But since last year, in order to speed up the construction of basic roads, Emperor Chongzhen has begun to increase paid labor on the basis of forced labor.
If this is replaced by the previous government, there will be forced labor if there are not enough people, and anyway, there is no clear regulation on the amount of labor. But Emperor Chongzhen came from later generations, so he naturally knew that this kind of hurt the hearts of the people and the people's livelihood. When the court had no money, there was no way, but now that he has money, he naturally wants to change this way.
When the treasury income is more in the future, all the people of the Ming Dynasty will be paid for their labor, no matter how much, they must be there, reflecting the value of their income.
Also, after the treasury revenue is more in the future, the compulsory education for the future generation of the Ming Dynasty will not be limited to three years, but will be as long as possible.
Now it is only three years, and it is only a matter of laying the foundation for literacy and educating them ideologically. Now those with better family conditions can continue their studies. If you don't have money, becoming an apprentice in all walks of life will be much better than being illiterate.
Among these measures, Emperor Chongzhen actually has a small means, that is, to force out the hidden households in the Ming Dynasty. Those who are not registered with the government will not enjoy these policies to benefit the people.
He believes that at this time, there are definitely many hidden people. Some of these hermits hide in the mountains, and some hide in large households. Some of them are because of the wars of the past, and some of them are just to avoid paying taxes.
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen is not only such a gentle policy, he is also racking his brains for the population problem of the Ming Dynasty. For hidden households, he also set a time limit, and if they continue to become hidden households after the time limit, they will be rewarded for reporting and can get half of the hidden household's property. As for the hermit himself, he distributed the frontier to enrich the population of the frontier. If it is a large family that hides a hidden household, the crime is the same as that of a hidden household.
Emperor Chongzhen had reason to believe that after the implementation of these policies, there would definitely be a big explosion in the population of the Ming Dynasty in the future. As for now, we can only wait. There can't be a catalyst that can raise a child at once.
After finishing all this, he took the celebrant and the officials of the six cabinet ministries out of Beijing and took the train to Tongzhou.
At this time, it was August of the twenty-third year of Chongzhen, and the weather was hot!
At this time, trains were already divided into passenger cars and freight cars.
Emperor Chongzhen and his entourage traveled, the trains before and after stopped running, vacated the tracks, and on both sides of the train, there were Jinyi Guard knights to open the way to escort them.
For this kind of disturbance to the people, in ancient times, it was a matter of course. The people did not complain, but they were more strange, the emperor took so many senior officials of the Ming Dynasty out to take the train, what is the matter?
Under such doubts, many idle and bored sons and brothers in Jingshi have followed out of Jingshi, wanting to find out. Because they knew that the emperor was taking a train, and he must have gotten off in Tongzhou. The trains to the north haven't been repaired yet!
They guessed correctly, Emperor Chongzhen's purpose was Tongzhou. According to his personality, he was going to ride a horse, which would be faster, but who let him bring a whole bunch of old men.
These old men can't ride horses, and if there is an accident, there will be one less skilled worker, which is not cost-effective!
Actually, there are benefits to taking the train.
On the train they sat on, the interior was naturally in place, except for the roar of the train was a little noisy, sitting inside, looking at the field scenery outside, they could continue to discuss things, steadily, much more stable than a carriage, and unconsciously arrived at the destination.
Tongzhou is the final section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Here in Tongzhou Bay, there is a shipyard belonging to the Daming Kaiwu Division.
When Emperor Chongzhen arrived here, martial law was already under siege around the shipyard. The prince, who has been here for several days, has been waiting for a long time with Song Yingxing and others.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he smiled and asked them to be exempt, and then said directly: "Go, show me how it is!" ”
"Sons obey orders!" The prince's face was full of excitement, and he hurriedly agreed, and then guided Emperor Chongzhen forward in front.
The other courtiers naturally walked behind, and the first assistant Xue Guoguan waited deliberately, and asked Song Yingxing, who was following behind, and said a little curiously: "Is it really made?" ”
Seeing that Shoufu was still a little suspicious, Song Yingxing smiled, if it wasn't made well, how dare he alarm the holy driver!
