Chapter 179 [Jun Prelude is right, the foundation of a strong country]
I haven't asked for a monthly pass for many days, and I can't bear to ask for a monthly pass! Ask for recommendations! Thank you all :)
The first thing he did was to lift the small quilt to find the little bird, and after successfully finding the object he was looking for, the old guy smiled heartily, and immediately took care of it with a snap of his fingers; Xiao Yingsi was depressed, and didn't understand why he was so miserable, he was beaten hard as soon as he came out of his mother's womb, and now he is still molested in public~ molested? He couldn't figure it out, but he could only cry and accuse his undisciplined grandfather.
Li Jiang glared at Ying Lian fiercely, snatched the little grandson and comforted him in a low voice, the courtiers were stunned, they couldn't imagine that Mrs. Guo also had such a maternal side, and she would hum a moving song? Xiao Yingsi was quickly attracted by the singing, and actually stopped crying, stared at Li Jiang with a pair of big black eyes, and grinned.
"Ha Luha, the Ying family has a future! Mu Rong is the daughter of the prince of Yiqu, and the righteousness returns to Qin, and she should be a model for women in the world, and she is named Mrs. Lantian and the wife of Gongzi Quliang! Fiefdom Lantian and reward a thousand gold" Lao Ying Lian Ha Ha Da Lu smiled, and rewarded his daughter-in-law without being stingy.
The ministers of the Qin State changed their faces slightly when they heard this. Gongzi Tongqing, even if Mu Rongyi is the wife of Gongzi, it is only equivalent to Mrs. Qing, and he may not be able to get the fief directly, but now that he has a son, he directly gets a county fief?
And it is still sealed in Lantian. Although Lantian is only a county, it is the place where Lao Qin has trained his troops for many years, Mu Rong has become Mrs. Lantian, although she can't directly own the army, the new army of Lantian will naturally get close to her, and Ying Lian is tantamount to determining the future prince's belonging. Hearing his father-in-law reward his brother-in-law like this, Ying Qian's face changed slightly. But soon smiled and congratulated Yingquliang. After all, he is the eldest son of Qin. If it is impossible to say that there is no idea about the throne, since it can't be argued, brothers are still brothers, historians say that the son is not pious and has more than righteousness, but it is a very accurate evaluation.
After rewarding his daughter-in-law, and then rewarding his little grandson, Ying Si was already asleep in Li Jiang's arms, completely unaware that the fief he got was enough to put 100,000 beds. Ying Lian didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to reward Yingqu Liang, and instead looked at Bai Dong and Qin Yueren.
Qin Yue people also got a thousand gold, and when Yinglian wanted to reward him for his position, he politely declined; If he didn't want to stay in Baijiazhuang to write books and speak, he would choose to travel the world and taste all kinds of herbs, how could he be bound by Lao Qin? Yinglian can only sigh, Mr. Bian Que has the world's patients in his heart, and if he is forced, he will be laughed at.
When it was Bai Dong's turn, Winlian was a little embarrassed. This kid is richer than he is now. It was a joke to reward him with a thousand dollars, and he was not yet twenty years old. has been knighted to the left, and even the family motto of the Ying family has been on, but it really can't be sealed again, otherwise how can the Manchu civil and military deal with themselves? But if you don't give a reward, you are really sorry for this great benefactor of the Ying family, and I had a big headache for a while, looking at Bai Dong and Yingquliang who was full of anticipation, I couldn't open my mouth for a long time.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates don't want to be rewarded, I would rather exchange this merit for a letter of decree from the king, for the benefit of the women of the world and for my old Qin Sheng!"
"Oh? You kid has done such a great job, but you don't want to be rewarded, and you want to add a new law? What is 'the way to gather for the women of the world'? "Bai Dong's "Trademark Law" and "Invention Patent Law" are quite effective, and have been proven to be the law of the world, at this moment I heard that he is going to implement the law again, not only to win even the husband and wife, but also the old Qin Qunchen are interested, I don't know what new things this kid is going to come up with this time?
"It's not a new law, it's just a change in the age at which a woman can have a baby. Your Majesty, now Lao Qin's decree stipulates that if a woman is fifteen and has not yet married, or has not conceived a child after marrying more than sixteen, she will be fined ten wen every year that passes. For example, today, the following countries are based on the people as the foundation of the country, but Lao Qin has less than 2 million households in the country, and in the first battle of Hexi, 150,000 troops were conscripted, and even teenage children had to be filled into the army. Now that the Wei State is trapped in the selfishness of salt and profit, it is competing with Yan Qi, and it has established a ten-year peace period with Lao Qin, Lao Qin is strong in Hangu, and Wei Wu is not in contention with the world, it is the best time to gather and educate and expand the country's capital, how can you lose the opportunity because of a wrong decree? ”
"Oh? Are you going to amend the law to lower the age of pregnancy for women? This move is quite difficult, a woman can marry into a man's family at fifteen and a woman, which is from the Zhou rites, and has been followed by all countries in the world for many years. And fifteen marriages, sixteen pregnancy is already extremely fast, although the widow wants to increase the number of people for Lao Qin as soon as possible, but he can't go against the etiquette of the world and change the woman and the year of the woman without authorization? ”
"The king misunderstood what the boy meant. The boy is saying that the age of a woman's conception should be set at twenty years; Those who conceive before the age of 20 will be fined 10 cents for each year early! ”
"What! Isn't this change about the population of my old Qin to decrease sharply, is this to make the old Qin disappear and the species be wiped out? ”
Bai Dong's words shook so much that even Ganlong Mushroom, who was closest to him, immediately spoke out against it, thinking that this was nonsense.
Ying Lian shook his head slightly: "Boy, this time you are wrong Since Baili Xi, Lao Qin has a perfect household management system, and every village and every guarantee will regularly report the number of life, death, sickness and old age of the households." Do you know the average age of the old Qin people when they died? Du Zhi, you are Zuo Sikong, and you are also the leader of Situ, so it is up to you to tell Bai Zuo. ”
"Bai Zuogen, the average age of the Qin people when they died was thirty-nine years old, and the average age of the Qin people last year was forty-two years old."
"Did you kid hear that? The average age of the old Qin is only forty-two years old, but you want me to amend the decree to change the age of conception to twenty years old? Where is this the right way to gather life, it is clear that I want to kill my old Qin! If it weren't for the fact that these words came from your mouth, and someone else had been replaced, the widow would have taken him to prison long ago, do you know? ”
"Your Majesty, it's time to scold Du Zhi. As a master of arithmetic who also leads Situ to calculate things, the algorithm used is so simple, it is his algorithm that is wrong, how can you not misunderstand? ”
Bai Dong glanced at Du Zhi with a smile: "Based on the sum of the life expectancy of the Chinese people at the time of death, divided by the number of people who died that year, do you still use the arithmetic to calculate the average age of the Chinese people?" Even if it is an ordinary scholar who knows the six arts of a gentleman, he can do it, and Zuo Sikong will not be ashamed? ”
Du Zhi was confused when he heard this, and he was very unconvinced: "Du doesn't know." Please also ask Bai Zuo to give me more advice. ”
"I don't dare to give advice. I just want to ask Zuo Sikong. When calculating the average age of death in Malaysia, did you classify them according to the cause of death? ”
"Classification? How is a division? ”
"A man may have a blessed and rich man, and he shall enjoy his old age; or those who died early due to natural and man-made disasters; Or there are those who killed because of the war and sacrificed their lives for the country. Among them, natural disasters are inevitable, and they can only be slowed down by manpower, and war may be avoided, such as peace talks between me and Wei. However, these are not the reasons for the low age of the country. I have done an investigation with Mr. Lu Yi and found that there are many premature fetal deaths, pregnant women who die during and after childbirth, which is the main reason why the average life expectancy of Lao Qin is only 42 years old! The boy once heard that the king had six sons and three daughters, but some of them died when they were born, and some died early before the age of three. ”
Win Lian sighed: "It's true." He was not the eldest son, and before him, there was a brother who died after birth."
"Do you know why? Humanity is the way of heaven. We all know that the Tao should be sown in the spring and harvested in the autumn; But if you are in a hurry to sow seeds in late winter and early spring. At this time, the soil has not been restored, no matter how carefully it is maintained, the yield will be reduced in autumn! A woman is at the age of twelve to be the first to be red, and at the age of fifteen she is a woman, but her body is still developing, and she must be twenty years old to be ripe. That's why so many babies are stillborn or die shortly after birth! Because of congenital deficiencies, it harms both the mother and the child! Such a bad habit is chaotic, if it can't be corrected in time, how can the average life expectancy of my old Qin not be low? How the number of households is not poor! Your Excellency should think carefully."
In ancient times, women's childbirth was like passing the threshold of life and death, the mortality rate of pregnant women and babies was too high, of course, there were also reasons for malnutrition and low medical conditions, but the main reason was premature pregnancy. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl conceived a child before her body could fully develop, what is this not a play with her life? Malnutrition can be changed by slowly improving people's livelihood, and low medical conditions can also be improved as much as possible, but these are all external factors, if the tradition of premature pregnancy is not changed, Bai Dong is God cannot change the fact that pregnant women and fetuses have a high mortality rate!
Ying Lian and the Manchu courtiers only thought that the average life expectancy of the Chinese people was only forty-two years old, so it was natural to get pregnant and give birth early, but they didn't know that they had already gotten into the tip of the horns, forming a vicious circle. The lower the life expectancy, the more laws and regulations were issued to force young girls to become mothers, resulting in higher mortality rates and lower life expectancy for fetuses and pregnant women, which is the root cause of low life expectancy in ancient times!
Later generations of medical scientists analyzed a large number of statistical data and combined it with human science to conclude that the best age for a woman to get pregnant is about 22 or 23 years old, which is science! Bai Dong proposed that twenty years old is the appropriate age for the fetus, but in fact, he is already compromising.
After listening to Bai Dong's words, Ying Lian was silent for a while: "Mr. Lu Yi, but that's the case?" If the widow promulgates a new decree, taking the age of twenty as the appropriate age for the child, the number of households in my old Qin will increase? ”
"In three years, it will definitely increase! Doctor Lu practiced medicine in the world, and devoted half of his life to women's pediatrics, which can prove that what Bai Zuogen said is true; There may not be one cause of maternal and infant death, but early pregnancy is the root cause! Your Majesty, this is the right way to gather for life, and Bai Zuo is really thinking about Lao Qin, and there is no trace of selfishness, please be aware of it. ”
"Bai Zuo is my old Qin loyal minister, and the widow naturally knows the Tao, but this move is to affect the country, what do you think Aiqing?" Ying Lian didn't ask Du Zhi, as a master of arithmetic, he just hadn't been in contact with statistics, once he was broken by Bai Dong, he would be able to understand it immediately, and now Du Zhi has clearly stood on Bai Dong's side.
"The minister thought that this kid Bai Dong and Mr. Lu Yi were right. The king is hesitant to do everything, and he is constantly decided, does this still need to be considered? ”
Zhang Qian was still so rude, if this was said by someone else, he should have pulled out the Lu and cut off his head, but Yinglian still ignored him, and turned to Gan Long and the fungus.
"This move is related to the country, and the king should be cautious."
Gan Long arched slightly: "The old minister thinks that a county should be selected in the country as a trial example, requiring the county women to be over twenty years old before they can conceive and give birth, after gathering hundreds of cases, the number of maternal and child deaths can be calculated, and then compared with other places, you can know whether what Bai Zuo said is true, if it is as Bai Zuo said, the old minister thinks that this law should be repaired!" ”
"Yes, if it is really the right way to gather people, even if it violates the Zhou etiquette, it should be changed." It is rare for the bacteria to support Ganlong.
"The ministers seconded it!"
"That's fine. Boy, since this method is out of you, after Mrs. Lantian is well, you will work hard with Mr. Lu Yi, and use Lantian as a test example to support what Fang Cai said, if it is as you say, it is you who have made another contribution to my old Qin! ”
"Father-in-law, there is a great drought in Lantian and the displaced people are lost, you let Ping An Lang go to Lantian to try the example, isn't this embarrassing for him?"
As soon as Yingquliang heard the big urgency, Lantian County ordered three urgent reports, all of which were begging for food, and eating was a problem, and Bai Dong was going there to do some new law trial examples, is the father-in-law confused?
"Hehe, this matter is extremely difficult for others, but it is not difficult for this kid, and the widow has great confidence in him."
"Thank you for your attention, the kid actually wants to go to Lantian to see, this is to fulfill me."
Bai Dong smiled slightly, and seemed to be very pleased. (To be continued......)
