Chapter 125: A Late Pregnancy

"Sell newspapers! Selling newspapers~, the second issue of Datang Daily, with an article written by His Royal Highness King Wu himself, through an interview with the son of the king of Hejian who participated in the war, the battle of Goguryeo a few months ago is truly reproduced! "A half-sized boy carrying a large bag of newspapers jogged down the street and shouted loudly. They are all newsboys hired by Datang Daily, and as for what he shouted, they were all taught by the people in the newspaper office, after all, a poor boy like him was illiterate at all.

It's still early in the morning, and the curfew has just been lifted, so there are not many pedestrians on the street, but when they hear the Datang Daily sold by the newsboy, many people on cars or horseback will stop the newsboy, find out a penny to buy a newspaper, and read it while walking on the road.

Although the name of the newspaper is a daily newspaper, there is a gap of three days between the first issue and the second issue. But this is also a helpless thing, after all, the newspaper is a new thing, and the people in the newspaper office in Yanbei do not have any experience, so it is impossible to achieve the level of one newspaper a day, and it is not easy to do one newspaper every three days.

Datang Daily, the world's first newspaper, only has two pages and eight pages in the first issue, plus the printing technology, the words on it are relatively large, so the content is less, but its price is not cheap, one will cost a penny, which is enough to buy two Hu cakes, plus there are not many literate people in Datang in this era, and the fame has not yet been opened, etc., the first issue of the newspaper only sold two or three thousand copies, and a considerable part of them were subscribed by Li Shimin to various government departments.

However, although the newspaper did not sell much, the response was huge, and people were extremely interested in the newspaper itself, in addition to discussing the contents of the newspaper.

Take the first issue of Datang Daily as an example, this issue of the newspaper is mainly based on current reviews, except for the recent gains and losses of the Tang Dynasty. Special emphasis was also placed on the gains and losses of the early Goguryeo campaign. In addition to praising Zhang Jian and a number of other generals who emerged, he also criticized some mistakes made in the early stage, although there were some afterthoughts. But the boldness shown in the article shocked all those who read the newspaper, and they also felt a deep admiration.

It is not uncommon for people to speak out and criticize the government, but it is generally a private complaint between a few close friends. Few people dared to criticize the court loudly in public, let alone write an article and then let everyone see it. It is precisely because of this that on the first day of its publication, Datang Daily established its own bold style of fairness, openness and outspokenness. This is a bit similar to Wei Zheng, except that one is in the court and the other is in the people.

The first issue of Datang Daily became well-known, so the sales of the second issue of the newspaper skyrocketed, and Chang'an was the political center of Datang. It is also the place with the highest concentration of readers in the country, and most of the people who can read books in this era are rich people. Take out a penny to buy a newspaper. Naturally, it was not worth mentioning, so the sales of the second phase soon grew to more than 10,000 copies. And what is reported in the newspaper has gradually become the focus of these people's discussions.

Of course, for the views in the newspaper, there must be mixed opinions, those who agree are naturally nodding and smiling, and those who disagree don't need to sulk, the newspaper is printed with the information of the contribution, as long as you write your own opinions, and the writing is smooth, can meet the standards of publication, it will be published in the next issue of the newspaper, and there is also a certain amount of moisturizing pen.

Rich scholars naturally don't look down on this money, but for those students from poor families, there is undoubtedly a normal income channel. Moreover, it is undoubtedly a huge temptation for readers who like fame to publish their articles in newspapers and be circulated all over the world, so whether it is for fame or money, contributing articles to newspapers has slowly become a kind of atmosphere among readers.

For the development of the newspaper, Li Su originally had to pay attention to it at all times, after all, it was related to the counterattack against the five surnames and seven hopes in the future, but at this time, he was scared half to death by an incident, and it happened the night after their party.

After the dispersal that night, because Li Su pushed the discovery of Zhancheng rice to Xijun's head, he naturally wanted to go to her to say hello, so as not to show his feet when the father and daughter met and talked. Xijun has just been named a Confucian, and now he hears that his husband takes such care of his father, and his heart is naturally very moved.

But it was the lingering in the night, but it almost broke the big thing, the next morning, Xijun felt uncomfortable in his stomach, both of them thought it was because last night was too 'crazy', so they didn't care at first, until Xijun was in more and more pain, Li Su realized that it was not good, and hurriedly invited Sun Simiao in the Tai Hospital, and after Sun Simiao's diagnosis and treatment, he said a sentence that almost scared Li Su to death.

"Your Royal Highness, Wang Ruren has been pregnant for more than a month, this time I accidentally moved the fetal gas, fortunately I found it in time, I will administer an injection to Wang Ruren!" Although Xijun was in terrible pain, Sun Simiao, as a doctor, still looked unhurried, and whispered to Li Su with his back to Xijun.

"What? This...... It's true? When Li Su heard that Xijun was pregnant, his eyes immediately widened in shock, with an expression of disbelief, and at the same time he regretted it in his heart, why didn't he know the news earlier? Otherwise, you don't have to be forced to take a concubine by your mother.

"Husband, now is not the time to think about this, let's ask Imperial Doctor Sun to give an injection to Sister Xijun!" Wen Xin, who was next to him, saw Li Su's stupid expression, and hurriedly shook his arm and said.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, please ask Sun Daochang to quickly administer the needle for treatment, don't do anything!" Li Su came to his senses and hurriedly spoke.

Sun Simiao did not delay after hearing this, and immediately administered the needle to Xijun, which really deserved to be a miracle doctor, and after the injection, Xijun's pain was really reduced a lot. Then he prescribed another prescription, boiled it and let Xijun take it, and when the medicine took effect, the pain in Xijun's abdomen disappeared immediately, and after a while, the person slowly fell asleep.

Looking at Xijun who fell asleep peacefully, Li Su's heart was full of mixed feelings, that is, there was the joy of being a father, but also the fear of this matter, and at the same time, there was also some blame in her heart for being too careless, she was more than a month pregnant, she didn't even know that Sun Simiao was afraid to tell her to let the fetal gas vibrate again, so Xijun didn't know about her pregnancy now.

"Your Highness, the old minister has a few words to entrust you, I don't know if you should say it or not?" Sun Simiao packed up the medical box and said to Li Su with some hesitation.

Li was stunned for a moment, and said, "Imperial Doctor Sun, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

"His Royal Highness has a very close relationship with Wang Confucian, which is a good thing, but now that Wang Confucianism is pregnant, I also ask His Highness to refrain from one or two, everything must be focused on the fetus!" Sun Simiao's words not only made Wen Xin blush, but also covered his mouth and snickered at Wen'er, Hua'er and others in the back. Obviously, Sun Simiao must have known the cause of Xijun's fetal gas vibration, and for the safety of the patient, he had to admonish Li Su a few words.

"Cough~, this ......" No matter how thick-skinned Ren Li Su's face was, he couldn't help but be embarrassed at this time, and said in a slur manner, "Doctor Sun was too worried, I didn't know that Xijun was pregnant before, but now that I know, I naturally won't do stupid things again!" ”

"That's good, Your Highness is also well versed in medical science, and I don't need to say more about the rest, the method of wound suturing you invented on the battlefield, as well as disinfection with spirits, etc., the old minister is also deeply admired, and I will definitely ask Your Highness for more advice when I have time!" Sun Simiao was relieved after hearing this, and said with a smile. The next few words are not to compliment Li Su, but to admire from the heart, after all, he is a real healer, as long as he can save people's lives, he is willing to learn.

Li Su heard Sun Simiao mention the current medical methods he had engaged in on the battlefield, but his heart moved, thinking of one thing, although he would be very busy during this time, but this matter is also very important, and now Xijun and the fetus in the womb are fine, there is no need to guard here, it is better to take advantage of today's opportunity to move Sun Simiao, the holy hand of rejuvenation, and let him exert his greatest energy.

Thinking of this, Li Su stopped Sun Simiao, who was about to turn around and leave, and said, "Doctor Sun, please wait a minute, I have something to understand, and I want to ask for advice!" ”

After hearing this, Sun Simiao stopped, turned to look at Li Su with some confusion, bowed down and asked, "What is there to understand Your Highness?" ”

"This is not the place to talk, let's talk in the living room!" After Li Su finished speaking, he explained a few words to Wen Xin, and asked her to take care of Xijun here for the time being, while he took Sun Simiao to the living room of the outer courtyard.

The two of them sat down separately and tasted the tea served by the maid, and then Li Su said: "Imperial Doctor Sun, I want to ask, is medical skills important to the world?" ”

Sun Simiao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and couldn't figure out for a moment how His Royal Highness King Qi remembered to ask this? However, he has always been a calm character, and after thinking about it, he replied with a resolute face: "Your Highness, people who eat grains and grains will naturally get sick, and if they are not treated in time, minor illnesses may also kill people, so medical skills are not only important to the world, but also a matter of life and death!" ”

"Doctor Sun is right, when Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, not only found out many crops for people to eat, but also found out a good medicine that can cure people and save lives, and since then it has opened the door to medical skills, so that more people can survive when they are sick, but I have always had a question, why is medical skills so important, but now the status of doctors is not high?"

Li Su began to praise a few words, but the last sentence was very unceremoniously pointed out the fact that Dr. Datang had a low status. Although in the Tang Dynasty scientific examination, there was also medicine, but even if he was in the examination, at most he would be given a petty official from the eighth grade, and it would be several times more difficult to be promoted in the future than a serious Jinshi department.
