On October 24, 331 of the Great Song Dynasty, the first snow had begun to fall in the sky. The special delivery room prepared by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Hangzhou Hospital is heavily guarded. Zhao Guanjia and Empress Qin sat outside. His in-laws sat across from them. The four of them are not ordinary people, and their reactions at this time are no different from ordinary people.

Empress Qin couldn't bear the pressure and asked Zhao Jiaren: "How do I think the attending doctor of obstetrics and gynecology is a man?" ”

"Nowadays, not many girls apply to medical school, and even fewer apply to obstetrics and gynecology. Probably because they see others having children, they can easily have a strong sense of empathy, so they can't be calm. Zhao Jiaren's voice was calm, in fact, this was already an absent-minded answer because of nervousness.

"Official, find a good midwife...... "The mother said tentatively.

Zhao Jiaren was under great psychological pressure, and his speech became more and more unpolite, "Now the best midwife's power is more than seventy percent." Doctors in the hospital delivered babies, and the safety rate of mothers and children has been more than 90%. Can you accept that adults and children have a 20% lower chance of surviving? ”

That is, Zhao Jiaren couldn't help it, if he was still young at this time, he would probably have to say the words 'the official family should set an example and let everyone go to the hospital to give birth'. In fact, the reason for not talking about it is only whether Zhao Jiaren can bear and digest the pressure of his grandson's birth.

Seeing that Zhao Jiaren was unhappy, the father-in-law hurriedly said to his wife: "Many of the children of the Shangshu family were born in the hospital, aren't they all fine." Let's just listen to the officials. ”

Empress Qin also felt that Zhao Jiaren's words were overbearing, she stepped forward to take her mother's hand, and said in a gentle voice: "Mother-in-law, the official family has never given birth to a child, what does he know." But let's trust the doctors. Isn't Da Lang also accompanying him inside? ”

mentioned Zhao Qian, who accompanied his wife to give birth inside, her mother-in-law wanted to laugh, but when she remembered the hard work when she gave birth, her eyes were red, and tears came out. Holding Qin Yuzhen's hand, her mother-in-law said, "Look at Da Lang like that, his legs are weak. Where can you count on him? ”

Several people were talking, but as soon as the door opened, the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department in charge of delivering the baby rushed in accompanied by the guards, and when he saw Zhao Jiaren, he immediately said excitedly: "Teacher...... Official. Congratulations to the teacher, I gave birth to a boy, and the mother and child are safe. ”

Zhao Jiaren let out a long breath, he stepped forward to hold the doctor's excited hand, "Thank you!" Thank you! Great work. ”

"Please rest assured, teacher." The doctor was also excited.

Zhao Jiaxin in the current Song Dynasty royal family is known as the 'reincarnation of Shennong', compared with such a great reputation, the ancestor in the hospital system has quietly changed from Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing to Zhao Jiaren. If you want to be a psychiatrist in the United States in the 21st century, you must have excellent medical and surgical skills. Zhao Jiaren accepted such a long test. The new medical system accumulated during the trials was taught by Zhao Jiaren, and the doctor who now delivers the baby, like many other doctors who are in charge of his own work, has grown up step by step by listening to Zhao Jiaren's classes.

As a student of the official family, he was able to work for the teacher at this time, and the director was infinitely happy.

The child is safe, and all the previous doubts about the new mode of midwifery have not been raised. Qin Yuzhen said happily to her father-in-law and mother-in-law: "Congratulations, you have been promoted to become grandparents." ”

"Congratulations to the official family for having a royal grandson." The father-in-law hurriedly replied. For the Great Song Dynasty, this is the most important change. The current royal family is very ordinary, and the two sons are not considered to be scattered. The birth of this grandson means that the Great Song royal family has a future.

Just when Zhao Jiaren was happy, Kublai Khan, who was completely free of pressure in terms of royal people, was reprimanding his grandson, "Why are you looking for the ship of the Song Kingdom? ”

"The last expedition to Italy was the big ship of the Song Kingdom." Timur hurriedly explained.

"Then you should directly snatch Song Guo's ship!" Kublai Khan said angrily.

Timur didn't know what to say. He also had this idea at the time, but was asked a question by Boyan, 'The Song fleet loaded explosives under the cabin, and when the Mongols grabbed the ship, they blew up the ship. What will we do then? ’

The ships of the Great Song were not sail-powered, so the Great Song sailors did not need to mix with the Mongol army on the deck. They held several passages firmly, and were very well defended along the way. Timur felt that he could not afford to compensate the elite of the expeditionary force on the ships of the Great Song Dynasty. But Timur also knew that he couldn't explain so much to his grandfather. His grandfather was angry at this time.

Timur said: "It is cheaper to use the Great Song boats. ”

"Didn't you say that there are hundreds of boats over there?"

"Yes." Timur replied that Boyan himself had assembled a fleet of ships that were both numerous and large.

"All in Mongolian boats!" Kublai Khan said angrily.

Timur didn't dare to say anything more, so he was ordered to go. Judging from his grandfather's current performance, Timur could already see that there was no way to discuss it calmly. Now the Mongol ships are all used to transport grain from Egypt to Mongolia, where is there any remaining capacity to transport troops to Italy. Even according to the previous route, it was necessary to rely on the navy to transport the troops to Sicily, and from Sicily, to send the troops to the Italian peninsula. This is not an army of one or two thousand, but an army of tens of thousands.

Back at his residence, the emperor's grandson Timur was in a heavy mood. Expeditions require not only troops, but also food and money. Now Kublai Khan only ordered the expedition, and there was little support in terms of money and food, which made the expedition a hot potato. Seeing that huge benefits can be obtained through expeditions, there is no way to achieve them.

After thinking about it, Timur wrote a letter to Marshal Boyan. It is hoped that Marshal Boyan, as the governor of Egypt, will be able to fully support Timur's expedition. When the letter was written, Timur did not send it immediately. Asking for help from a subordinate made the emperor feel very unhappy. It stands to reason that the territory directly under the Great Khan should be the richest, so why should everything be done below.

"Third prince, Lord Tokhtar is here." The squire said.

"Let him in." Timurden had emotions at the time. Tokhtarnai was a young Mongol nobleman and one of the few officials who could be publicly appreciated by Kublai Khan. More importantly, Tokhtar was loyal to Timur.

When the two met, Timur sighed first. Tokhtar asked, "I don't know why the third prince is bothered?" ”

Timur told Tokhtaku what was troubled. After hearing this, Tokh couldn't help but chuckle, "Hehe, I see." ”

Seeing that Tokhtar was pretending to be profound, Timur couldn't help it, and he asked, "With your talents, can't you do it?" ”

"Of course, there is a way, but I'm just worried that the Great Khan won't agree." Tokh replied with a smile.

"What's the solution?"

"The third prince can let Marshal Boyan go on an expedition to Italy, and the third prince took over the errand of the governor of Egypt......"

Before he could finish speaking, Timur slapped his thigh and stood up. At this time, he only felt that a hundred claws scratched his heart, and he just wanted to immediately run to his grandfather Kublai Khan to tell him about the arrangement.

Seeing Timur wandering around the room, Tokhtar hurriedly persuaded: "Third prince, I'm afraid this matter is not easy. ”

"Why?"

"The Great Khan doesn't seem to like the fact that the Great Commander is too far away. Maybe I don't worry about him. ”

"Hmph. What's not to worry about? Timur felt that he could not understand Kublai Khan's thoughts.

Because of his age, Totoh doesn't think that there is anything to be afraid of. In such a world, young people hope that the older ones will quickly roll to the frontier and give up the center of power. Therefore, Marshal Boyan went to distant Italy to settle down, which was completely in the interests of Timur and in line with the feeling of detachment. Calculating Kublai Khan's preferences in his heart, Timur said: "Third prince, I don't think it's as good as this......"

The next day, Timur asked to see Kublai Khan. After meeting the imperial grandfather, Timur said: "Great Khan, yesterday I was thinking about food and fleets, and suddenly I felt that the expedition to Italy was too expensive for the treasury to afford. ”

Seeing that the third grandson had the intention of retreating, Kublai Khan was not happy when he ascended. The steppe is a poor place, and Mongolia is no different. Since Genghis Khan, the situation has been that Mongolia has killed countless people and transferred the wealth of other people's families to its own family, so that Mongolia has become rich for a short period of time. The focus of those Mongolian songs that praise the war is how much benefit the young Mongolian people who went out to plunder brought back. How rich the family becomes.

The young people sat empty, and dared to accuse the treasury of emptiness, Kublai Khan said dissatisfiedly: "We must go on an expedition to Italy." The last time you went, you just picked up something and came back. This time you go, you want to empty Italy completely. ”

If it was before, he was criticized by the imperial grandfather like this, and Timur must have felt extremely pressured. By now, Tokhtar's prediction of the situation had come true, and Timur suppressed his emotions and continued with the next step, "Great Khan, in addition to supplying the Golden Horde, Egypt now has to support the Marshal Beyan and his men. If I am asked to be the governor of Egypt, let the marshal Boyan go on an expedition to Italy. Isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

When Kublai Khan heard this suggestion, his first reaction was to be very unhappy. But when I think about it, I think what Timur said is fine. After this year's rebellion of the True God Cultists, more than half of the farmers in the two river valleys were killed or wounded, and this year's food has become a big problem. Egypt's importance skyrocketed. With such a rich land becoming the direct domain of the Great Khan, wouldn't there be no need to worry about food?

But as soon as the idea was completed, a new idea came to mind. Kublai Khan wanted his grandson Timur to make an expedition to Italy and expand his territory like the children of the old days. Instead of lying on the land conquered by our ancestors, we will enjoy it.

"Are you really unwilling to go on a conquest of Italy?" Kublai Khan asked with squinted eyes, and his originally thin eyes looked even more slender.
