Chapter 850: The side of the couch
PS: There is one more chapter at 12 o'clock
"To burn those who oppose the monarchy at the stake?" Thinking of Nanzi's threatening words, Zhao Wuxian felt amused. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Song Guo has its own bottom line, there is no doubt about it, in Zhao Wuxian's eyes, Nanzi is a fox with a strong desire for territory, she firmly looks at her own one-third of an acre, and regards anyone who tries to cross the line, forces, and ideas as enemies......
This woman is too insecure, and the fanatical Heavenly Daoists and the Song people's respect for the public office are the two fulcrums that support her power, both of which are indispensable, and they are not allowed to be corrupted and destroyed by foreign radical ideas. That's why she expelled Confucius, also because she was afraid that if Confucius stayed for a long time, a countercurrent would form against her.
However, Zigong later assured several neighboring countries that the expulsion of the monarch and the establishment of a republican administration were determined by the special conditions of Cao, and that they would never spread outward, and that the Taoqiu people would only be interested in expanding their business and the sound of copper coins falling into the money jar.
Believe it or not, Lu, Wei, and Song can only accept this fact, because their three kingdoms are all members of the Central Plains order dominated by the Zhao clan, Lu Song is in the second echelon, and Wei Guo is still in a lower position. Zhao Wuxian asked them to be good neighbors and friendly, but did not prohibit their contradictions and competition, and the three kingdoms were wary of each other, which was a good thing for the Zhao family.
The excavation plan of "Heshui" was also finalized later, this time there was no need to participate in the defense of the country, Zhao Wuxian as the intermediary, Cao, Lu, and Song held a trilateral meeting, out of fear of Wu, the Song State was not confident enough in its own force, and the Song State needed the protection of the Zhao family, and Nanzi strongly supported the Heshui plan.
Although Lu Guo felt that Heshui was dispensable, after all, it was only a side in the south of Lu State, and the economic improvement of Ludu Qufu was really not high. But this matter was supported and promoted by Zhao Wuxian, and of course Zai Yu would not be bored with himself, and immediately agreed with both hands.
After Zhao Wuxian finalized the overall situation, he became the shopkeeper, handed over the allocation of funds and manpower for the canal to the three parties to quarrel and settle by themselves, first made full preparations, and waited until the excavation of the Wei Canal was completed before officially starting construction.
In Zhao Wuxian's plan, when Weiqu was completed, Zhao's strategic focus would shift eastward to Qi and Lu. After the completion of Heshui, his eyes will be officially set on Song Kingdom, Sishang, and Xudi.
Limited by the times, his strategy must be based on the premise of canals and roads, if he does not want the Zhao family to "rise and fall", he must be patient and come step by step.
The first thing that needs to be solved is the state of Rongdi in the north of the Jin Kingdom, and they can not only expand the land, get the population, livestock, horses and all kinds of war resources, and gather the honor of the Zhao people in the name of conquering Rongdi, but also avoid the princes from panic and anxiety, so that they can unite too soon to attack Zhao in the Five Kingdoms.
What's more......
"Dai, Zhongshan and I are in the same place in Jizhou, chickens and dogs smell each other, the pass is adjacent, on the side of this couch, how can others be allowed to snore!?"
ā¦ā¦
If anyone can sleep soundly next to Zhao Shangqing, then in addition to his wife and concubine, they are children.
In Yecheng at the beginning of May, the cicadas resounded through the streets. In the cool room, Zhao Heng, who was only eight months old, was lying in the cradle and sleeping, completely unaware that his father, who had just returned from Taoqiu, was standing on the side and staring at him.
"I haven't seen him for more than a month, and it's a little older...... a big hand scratched his nose, for his eldest son, Zhao Wuxian showed great affection, this son is more active than his brother Zhao Cao, and his eyes are also a little smart, but he doesn't know what will happen when he grows up.
It's a pity that my health is not very good, and I have been sick and sick since I was born......
"I just finished a pediatric cold, but fortunately there is no danger, I just hope that he can be safe and ...... before he turns old"
Le Lingzi is not only the wife of the Zhao family, but also the mother of a son and a daughter. She radiated the radiance of motherhood with worry on her face, and from the time she was able to get out of bed after the confinement, she took over the task of raising her son from Fu Mu. The child suffered from pneumonia shortly after birth, and then there would be a minor illness every two months, so the entire Zhao clan and retainers were worried, and Zhao Wuxian even went to the Zhao family temple to pray for the blessing of the ancestors.
Fortunately, Zhao Wuxian has a wife with excellent medical skills, and Zhao Heng was on the verge of danger several times, but he was pulled back by Le Lingzi. She didn't care about it, but she still calmly took the needle, so that Zhao Wuxian could avoid experiencing the pain of losing a child that almost everyone in this era has experienced: although he is a descendant, his knowledge of medical skills is only limited to popular science, and when his son is sick, he is also blind......
After gently testing his son's body temperature with his forehead and giving him a thin quilt, Le Lingzi turned around with a serious face and bowed to Zhao Wuxian.
Wuxian hurriedly hugged her: "Lingzi, what is this?" ā
She lowered her head and said: "Although Heng'er is fine, every time she sees him, the concubine thinks of the Jiangdu immigrants in Yecheng, who have lost their children, nine times out of ten!" The Jin, Lu, and Song kingdoms don't know how many ...... they have."
Zhao Wuxian nodded heavily, that's right, limited by medical and health conditions, the proportion of children who died early in ancient times was amazing, Zhao Wuxian knew that in the Qin Jian's "Book of Days" unearthed in later generations, the concern and prayer for the health prospects of newborn children accounted for a lot of space, "give birth to a child, the child died", "to give birth to a child, the child died, did not give birth", similar accounts are all over the book.
In the past ten years, Zhao Wuxian has seen a lot, not only the common people, but also the families of the sons of heaven, princes, and doctors with better conditions, and there are also many children who die early. Isn't polygamy and multiple children a source of helplessness due to fear of this phenomenon? Zhao Wuxian only has two sons, and there will be several in the future, or it is impossible to say if there will be none, so he paid more attention to the cultivation of the eldest son when his eldest son was not in good health, all just in case......
This cruel natural selection, it was not until after the Industrial Revolution that humanity could break through it!
But no one could watch the future of the family and the state die one after another, leaving a small grave and indifferent!
Young and young, as well as young people, Le Lingzi has such a mind, Zhao Wuxian is pleased, this is what the monarch's wife should look like.
He helped Le Lingzi up and said gently, "What do you think, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ā
ā¦ā¦
"Although the master has already set up a pediatric doctor in the medical hall, which is juxtaposed with the medical center, the ear and eye paralysis doctor, as well as the oral and articular medicine, physical therapy, sores and swellings, etc., it is still not enough. For example, in this Yecheng, although there are dozens of Lingque in the medical halls all over the place, it is still difficult to start if you encounter pediatric diseases, if you don't have a few years of medical experience, because children are not as good as adults, you can take medicine casually, and you will leave sequelae if you are not careful. ā
After two pregnancies for ten months and a pair of children, Le Lingzi's understanding of medical skills and mood have been very different.
"Do you want to increase the training of pediatric doctors?"
"It's not just a pediatric doctor, but you have to start from the source, I have asked the palace maid to check, the woman has a difficult birth, or the conditions are too poor, and the delivery room is too dirty to cause fine Gu infection, which is also an important reason for not giving birth to children."
"What are your plans, go on." As long as his wives and concubines don't interfere in politics, if they want to do something, Zhao Wuxian will be encouraged, taciturn, and a fertility machine living in the deep palace? The influence and usefulness of the ladies should not stop there.
After Le Lingzi coughed lightly, she gave her husband all the ideas she had sorted out.
"First, we should pay attention to bringing down doctors (gynecologists), for example, in midwifery, we must promote some effective methods to avoid bad habits. The concubine also had experience after two births, and wrote a "Essentials of Production" of more than 10,000 words, which can be used as the basis for taking medicine to study. There are also midwifery forceps invented by the husband, which should also be extended! ā
Le Lingzi carefully observed Zhao Wuxian's expression, after all, the method of delivering babies written with her production experience as a raw material, would Zhao Shangqing be furious, regard it as a shameful secret, and order it not to be passed on.
However, Zhao Wuxian didn't show any signs of anger, and just listened carefully.
Le Lingzi breathed a sigh of relief and continued.
The biggest defect of midwifery in this era is the lack of necessary understanding and basic means of disinfection, which often causes diseases such as puerperal fever in mothers. Especially in the case of dystocia, there is no corresponding technology, some of them are stiffly pulled because of the old method, and even use hooks to hook, and some ask God to trick ghosts with the help of witchcraft, resulting in a large number of maternal and infant deaths.
Thinking of his experience of almost having a difficult birth, Le Lingzi had palpitations, but fortunately, the maidservant Fu Mu listened to her command, and Le Lingzi was like this while shouting loudly and exerting force, while looking down to observe and guide them.
Zhao Wuxian, who was outside the delivery room, was anxious, but he had already relied on the memories of later generations to make wooden forceps for backup. This thing has two flat blades, slightly curved, consistent with the shape of the fetus's head, it can gently and firmly pull the head, once the fetal head is exposed, the rest of the body is easy to produce homeopathically, Zhao Heng was born in this way, thanks to Haotian, mother and child are safe.
Second, because there are more men and fewer women among the doctors, the doctors who bring them are rarely involved in delivering and caring for the mothers and babies, and most of them are the mothers' families and the wizards and midwives who are invited to do the work on their behalf. They made up many birth taboos, some forbidding children to be born at home, and women in labor were required to move outside the house under trees, or to stoves and livestock sheds; In some places, it is forbidden to give birth in bed, and the mother has to move to the ground, and the bedding is only straw, stove ash, loess, ......"
In today's harsh environment, how can the proportion of both mother and child die is not low? As she spoke, Le Lingzi had already gritted her teeth, not only did she understand Bian Que's medical skills, but under the influence of Zhao Wuxian's "fine Gu" pathogenic theory, she already had a clear understanding of the origin of this disease, but there were only a few people who realized this.
Even in the middle of the 20th century, there was still prejudice against pregnant women in Tibetan areas, believing them to be unclean, forcing them to go to the snowy plateau outside the tent to solve their own problems, like yaks giving birth...... For this reason, there are not a few mothers and children who have died, and the population base of a certain ethnic group is scarce, and this bad habit and prejudice is also one of the important reasons.
If you want to change this ignorant era, there are too many things that need to be done, how can ten years be enough? Relying only on him Zhao Wuxian alone, how can he be?
Therefore, more people need to be involved, including the family members and cronies around him who are most affected by him.
Le Lingzi raised her eyes, as a mother, Zhao Wuxian saw a different beauty in her.
"So the concubine's idea is that a group of female doctors who are proficient in bringing down and pediatrics should be trained in Lingque!" (To be continued.) )
