Chapter 342: Kaifeng Jews

With the passage of time, the evil formula of artificial insemination has been implemented, and more and more families have quickly solved the problem of infertility.

The benefits and good response gradually became known, and gradually this controversy became less and less accepted by the world.

After all, the children born in this party are the closest to their own flesh and blood, and this is already the perfect method!

However, Fan Zheng saved more and more infertile patients, but did not save himself, and a month passed quietly, but Li Qingzhao was still not pregnant.

"Could it be that the concubine body really can't have children?" Li Qingzhao suffers from gains and losses.

Being too thin is only one of the possible causes of her infertility, and there is another possibility that she is unable to conceive, that is, she is really unable to have children.

Fan Zheng said disapprerovingly: "Madame is too anxious, your body is too thin, it's not as simple as eating fat, you still need to return your whole body to normal, and you need at least three months of recuperation." ”

Although he has been recuperating for more than a month, Li Qingzhao's body has only gained about five pounds, and he is still very thin compared to ordinary people, and Fan Zheng does not want Li Qingzhao to become fat quickly, firstly, this is not in line with physical health, and secondly, if he gets fat quickly, it will cause skin fibers to break and form growth lines, which will also affect the aesthetics.

When Li Qingzhao heard Fan Zheng's explanation, she was immediately shocked, if she became fat quickly and really had growth lines, this would be unacceptable for a woman.

Fan Zheng soothed: "At that time, Mrs. will be pregnant at the end of the year, and when the autumn is crisp in September, she will be confined, and she will not suffer at all!" Isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

Li Qingzhao was ashamed when he heard this: "How can it be so simple to have a child!" Can you still set your own day? ”

Fan Zheng said confidently: "Others can't, but for the husband can be an evil doctor Fan Zheng, naturally it's not me." ”

Li Qingzhao was a little relieved at this time, and the worries in his heart were swept away.

"Let's go! Take you out for your husband? Fan Zheng got up and prepared to take Li Qingzhao out of Fan's mansion.

"I'm going to eat food again, the concubine has gained a lot of weight recently, but I don't want to grow growth lines." Li Qingzhao said happily and worriedly.

This month is the most comfortable day for Li Qingzhao, which not only untithes the knot, but also keeps the food.

Fan Zheng doted: "In addition to food, Mrs. also has to accompany her husband to do an important thing." ”

Li Qingzhao couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, Fan Zheng was busy with official business, and now he finally found time to accompany her.

At that moment, the two walked out of Fan's mansion, first found a time-honored restaurant in Kaifeng City and had a full meal, and then walked out of the restaurant in Li Qingzhao's resentful eyes.

The two of them went around Kaifeng City for most of the circle, and after several turnovers, they finally came to a dilapidated alley!

Li Qingzhao frowned, he didn't expect that what Fan Zheng was going to do would be in such a poor place, only to see that the houses here were almost collapsing, and all the people were looking pale and poorly dressed.

Li Qingzhao looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief and said: "There is still such a desperate place in Kaifeng City, how can Yizhuang have such a mistake. ”

After years of development, the role of Yizhuang has become bigger and bigger, and almost all the extremely poor people in the world have been taken care of by Yizhuang, but the impoverished scene in front of him can't help but make Li Qingzhao frown, suspecting that there is a problem with Yizhuang's work and not taking care of the destitute people.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "There is no problem with Yizhuang, the reason why it failed to benefit them is because they are not Song people. ”

"Not Song?"

Li Qingzhao breathed a sigh of relief, Yizhuang is the Great Song Yizhuang, and the extremely poor people of the Great Song Dynasty that he takes care of, not the people of the Great Song Dynasty, are naturally not among them.

"They're Hu?"

Li Qingzhao looked over and saw that the people here were blond-haired, blue-eyed, with big noses and fair skin, which were obviously very different from the yellow-skinned, black-eyed, black-haired Song Dynasty.

"They are a very special branch of the Semen, you can call them Jews!" Fan Zheng said with a solemn look in his eyes, although there are only less than a hundred Jews here, but Fan Zheng understands the particularity of Jews, if they are given the opportunity, they will take root anywhere, and even occupy the magpie's nest.

And now this group of Jews is performing "circumcision! Fan Zheng's arrival suddenly surprised them, after all, Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao were dressed in brocade clothes, and they looked like rich people, how could they come to such a poor place as them.

"I don't know if the nobles are here!" The first old Jewish man stepped forward and asked in proficient Chinese.

His clothes were shabby, but they were extremely clean, and his manners and deeds were extremely deserved.

"Is this circumcision?"

Fan Zheng did not answer, but walked up to the circumcised Jewish baby and asked.

"How do you know about circumcision?" The old Jewish man couldn't help but be shocked, and suddenly looked at Fan Zheng.

"According to doctors' research, not every boy needs to be circumcised, and the baby is only eight days old, which is when the body is weak, and circumcision may cause great damage to his vitality." Fan Zheng said lightly.

"Who is Your Excellency, who is questioning circumcision?" When the Jews heard this, they were indignant.

According to Jewish customs, circumcision is the most solemn day, and every newborn baby will be circumcised on the eighth day, even if it is a major festival.

"The people who are waiting for outsiders to dare to rush into Fan Zheng Fan Taicheng!" The lieutenant chief, who rushed to hear the news, saw Fan Zheng coming, and couldn't help but hurriedly scolded.

"Evil Doctor Fan Zheng?" The Jewish old man at the head couldn't help but be shocked.

He is proficient in Chinese, and he has been in Kaifeng City for a long time, so he naturally knows the name of the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

"I didn't know Lord Fan was coming, and I ask for forgiveness." The Jewish old man at the head hurriedly said.

Fan Zheng waved his hand to let the lieutenant retreat, stepped forward and shook his head and sighed: "Not to mention that you don't even have the most basic disinfectant alcohol, which makes the risk of circumcision greater, if Fan guesses correctly, the survival rate of your babies is not high, especially male babies." ”

The Jewish elders couldn't help but be shocked that in this era, the survival rate of babies is not high, especially male babies after circumcision, who are more likely to have symptoms such as infection and bleeding, which increases the mortality rate out of thin air.

"Circumcision is a Jewish tradition that cannot be changed." The old Jewish man said with a firm expression.

This is a bad habit, and it is also the original sin of the weakness of the Jews, and it is impossible for a nation that does not value babies to be strong! After all, population is the foundation of a nation's strength! This is probably one of the reasons why Your Excellency wandered all the way from Jerusalem to the Great Song Dynasty. Fan Zheng sighed.

The old Jewish man was suddenly in a struggle, he did not expect that Fan Zheng was so well versed in Jewish history, and even pointed out that the greatest suffering of the Jews was probably caused by their most honorable circumcision.

"How can a noble man be so well versed in Jewish history?" The old Jewish man looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, as far as I know, the Jews are the only chosen people of God, and no other race can be equal to the Jews. ”

The old Jews couldn't help but be shocked, in other countries, the Jews can still think of themselves as superior, but in the Great Song Dynasty they are ashamed of themselves, the Great Song Dynasty has the most splendid civilization, far more distant than the Jews, a vast land, advanced medical technology, all kinds of advanced technology.

"Han Chinese are just as good as Jews!" The old Jewish man had to abandon the idea of Jewish superiority and convince himself.

Fan Zheng didn't care about the Jews' mouths and said: "The Han people are already so powerful, but they attach the most importance to the inheritance of incense, and the doctors have opened a special maternity and children's hospital to deliver babies, and in order to give birth safely, they have studied caesarean section, and there is a special pediatric department responsible for treating babies."

"In order to allow every family to have children, doctors specialize in infertility, the population of the Han people is close to 10,000, but they still do their best to give birth, while the Jews dare to claim to be as good as the Han people for the so-called circumcision, so that their next generation can increase the risk of premature death out of thin air." Fan Zheng asked rhetorically.

The old Jewish man was suddenly drenched in a cold sweat, as the wise man of this Jewish army, he naturally knew that there was nothing wrong with what Fan Zheng said.

Circumcision may not have been the main cause of the displacement, but it was one of the reasons for the weakness of the Jews, and even the Jews, in order to increase the population, directly declared that the children born to Jewish women were also Jews.

The Jews, who had always been troubled by the population, did not know that circumcision was the greatest obstacle to increasing their population.

"As long as we scrape together the money to buy alcohol, as long as the harm of circumcision will be minimized." The old Jewish man gritted his teeth.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Alcohol alone cannot completely eliminate the risk, the surgical process, and even postoperative rehabilitation will cause infection, and clean gauze is also needed, and the sutures are best absorbable sheep intestines, which is not a small amount." ”

With the conditions in which these Jews lived, even the most basic survival problems were in question, and Fan Zheng did not believe that they had the financial resources to support the circumcision operations.

The old Jew's face changed suddenly, and then he looked at Fan Zhengdao with wise eyes: "Lord Fan is a noble man in Kaifeng City, how can he come to our place of residence for no reason, is it just a kind reminder of the harm of circumcision." ”

At the moment, even Li Qingzhao looked at Fan Zheng puzzled, not understanding the intention of Fan Zheng's move.

"Of course not! Fan heard that the Jews were a first-class and intelligent people, and wanted to reuse them. Fan Zheng said directly.

The eyes of the Jews suddenly lit up, their Jews were extremely difficult to survive in the Great Song Dynasty, if they could get the support of nobles like Fan Zheng, they would definitely stay here to live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer drift around.

However, Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "But I didn't expect the rumors to be exaggerated, how can the most intelligent people in the legend destroy the Great Wall, circumcise their own children, and increase the risk of premature death out of thin air, how can this be done by a wise man." ”

The faces of the Jews suddenly changed, they did not expect that circumcision, which was most valued by the Jews, would have a conflict with Fan Zheng's philosophy of medicine, and they would lose a great opportunity.

"However, Fan can give you a chance, and the circumcision of this baby shall prevail! If you insist on circumcising him, for his safety, Fan will accept Fan's invitation and stop it! If you agree with the doctor's philosophy for the safety of this baby, you can come to the Royal Bank tomorrow to find me. "Fan Zhengdao.

"Royal Bank?"

The old Jew's eyes lit up suddenly, Jews are good at business, and he, as the wise man of this Jewish army, naturally knows what the Royal Bank means.

The Jews, however, were torn between the most solemn circumcision on the one hand, and the great temptation of the nobles on the other.

Fan Zheng got up and said slowly: "Do you know that the Great Song Dynasty is opening up the Maritime Silk Road, and now the fleet of the Great Song Dynasty has gone to the ocean, and I believe that it will soon be able to reach the extreme west, Persia, Great Food, Egypt, I believe that it is not far from Jerusalem, don't you want to return to the Holy Land one day?" ”

Looking at Fan Zheng's figure, all the Jews showed fanatical eyes, Jerusalem was a place that haunted them more than circumcision.

When he left the Jewish settlement, Li Qingzhao had an extra copy of the Talmud compiled in a parchment scroll.

Obviously, in the face of Fan Zheng's temptation, the Jews in Kaifeng gave up their circumcision and agreed to Fan Zheng's kind invitation.

"What the husband said is that the Jews are indeed a group of wise people, and the wisdom of this Talmud is breathtaking." Li Qingzhao closed the parchment scroll in her hand, she was a well-read person, and the wisdom in the book still made her extremely amazing.

"Although the Jews are wise, they are still slightly inferior to the Han people, otherwise they would not have fallen into the fate of the country destroying and wandering around." Fan Zheng sighed.

Li Qingzhao nodded proudly, compared to the Chinese civilization, this "Talmud" is just a drop in the ocean!

"By the way, why does the husband insist on making them give up circumcision if he wants to subdue these Jews?" Li Qingzhao was puzzled.

Fan Zheng didn't answer, but asked, "Madame, do you know what is the greatest desire of a wandering nation?" ”

"Build your own kingdom, of course!" Li Qingzhao thought for a while.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "So the Jews dream of establishing their own country, so they will become extremely conservative and unwilling to integrate with other ethnic groups, so in Kaifeng City, even if they are already poor, they still try their best to maintain their national characteristics." ”

"What's wrong with that?" Li Qingzhao was puzzled.

Although my Great Song Dynasty is enlightened and tolerant and allows Jews to live in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, it is also essential to guard against it, preventing the possibility of its doves occupying the magpie's nest, so it must be assimilated." Fan Zheng explained.

"So it doesn't matter whether Jewish infanticim affects survival or not, what matters is that these Jews give up their circumcision and accept assimilation by the Great Song Dynasty." Li Qingzhao suddenly realized.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said solemnly: "No, it is equally important, even more important than life, the circumcision of a boy for eight days may be politically correct in Jewish religion, but it is wrong in medicine. Not all men are required to be circumcised, let alone a child who is only eight days old. ”

In Fan Zheng's view, it was important to assimilate these Jews, and it was equally important to correct erroneous medical knowledge, after all, as a doctor, he could not tolerate the death of a baby due to wrong behavior.

Since these two things can be done at the same time, why wouldn't he do it.
