Chapter 403: The Law of the Jungle
There is indeed a method of contraception in the Qinglou, but the reputation of the doctor going to the Qinglou is not good, not to mention that Zhang Youniang is a female doctor.
But doctors don't have no other way! When Fan Zheng founded the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he had already merged Fan Lou and abolished the cheap status of the Qinglou Qingqi cultivated in Fan Lou, and many Qinglou Qingqi were grateful and volunteered to stay in the doctor's house, becoming the first batch of medical female nurses, many of whom are now under the command of Zhang Youniang, of course, the most famous is Master Li.
At the moment, in order to obtain contraception as much as possible, Female Doctor Zhang decided to gather all the old people of Fanlou at the beginning.
"What, Female Doctor Zhang wants the contraceptive technique of Qinglou." Master Li, who came after hearing the news, couldn't believe it, she didn't expect that the doctor would be able to find the Qinglou after studying medical skills.
The other female nurses from Fan Lou also frowned, many of them were female nurses who followed Female Doctor Zhang, and naturally knew that Female Doctor Zhang had been committed to treating infertility among women all over the world all her life, and now the direction of medical skills was actually different, and they actually began to study contraception.
"Whether it is the treatment of infertility or the study of contraception is part of medical technology, contraception is not to poison women, but to target families with many children, to avoid many families from being obviously poor due to having too many children, and to curb the disorderly growth of the population of the Great Song Dynasty."
Zhang Youniang nodded helplessly, and brought the crisis of the population explosion of the Great Song Dynasty one by one.
A group of female nurses from Fan Lou suddenly felt in their hearts, many of them were from poor families, their parents could not afford to support them, and finally they were sold into the Qinglou, if they hadn't met Fan Zheng, their lives would have been extremely miserable.
Master Li frowned and said: "There is indeed contraception in the Qinglou, but most of the contraceptive techniques in the Qinglou are harmful to the heavens and harmony, and I am afraid they cannot be applied to ordinary people." ”
The faces of the other female protectors from Fan Lou suddenly changed, and they couldn't help but shudder when they thought of the evil arts that their mother had taught, combined with the medical knowledge they had learned in the doctor's house now.
"The old body naturally knows that the law of the Qinglou hurts the heavens and the harmony, the stones of other mountains can attack the jade, and the law of the Qinglou can at least be used as a reference or even as a negative example to treat women." Zhang Youniang said solemnly.
Master Li and the others glanced at each other, out of trust in the doctor, at the moment, they came together with the method of contraception in the Qinglou.
"Mercury, musk, sitz bath .................."
However, when Zhang Youniang really got the contraceptive method of Qinglou, her face couldn't help but change, and the contraceptive method of Qinglou was generally based on mutilating the body, and it was all irreversible.
In particular, mercury is highly toxic, which has been confirmed by doctors, and it is possible to be poisoned even by smelling it, let alone taking it directly, and it is a long-term use, and it will definitely be poisoned by mercury after a long time.
Musk is a drug that is recognized to be able to cause infertility, and it is forbidden for pregnant women, not to mention sitz baths, which directly harms the woman's body and makes the Qinglou woman cold.
"These three methods must not be used again! Even in the green building, it must be eliminated. Zhang Youniang said resolutely, these three methods are really hurtful.
Master Li sighed helplessly: "Compared with mutilating the body, Qinglou women are more reluctant to get pregnant, but there are relatively mild methods of contraception in Qinglou, such as silkworm paper contraceptive method swallowing the shell left by silkworms hatching on paper, and casings made of sheep intestines, which are best disinfected with alcohol before they can be used." ”
Zhang Youniang frowned, although the method of contraception in Qinglou was either cruel or unreliable, she still recorded it for future research.
…………………………
"Sheep casing!"
When Zhang Youniang handed over the contraceptive method of Qinglou to Fan Zheng, Fan Zheng couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, isn't the sheep casing the predecessor of the famous contraceptive tool in later generations!
Who said that the wisdom of the ancients was not as good as that of later generations, they were only limited by the tools of the time, even if it was under extremely rudimentary conditions, they could achieve the same effect.
"The old body thinks that this party is the biggest harvest of the trip to the Qinglou." Zhang Youniang is already old, so she naturally no longer shy away from men and women, and said bluntly.
She is very interested in the casing made of sheep intestines, after all, this method is prepared for men, and it will cause the least harm to women, and with alcohol disinfection, it can be used repeatedly, and if it can be popularized, it may receive miraculous results.
Fan Zheng's face was embarrassed, and he sighed helplessly: "I will invite the master craftsman of the Ministry of Engineering to come and strive to make sheep casings with the best technology." ”
"Thank you Fan Taicheng, but with the unexpected gain of the trip to the Qinglou, the old man is looking forward to the trip to the palace even more, and I also asked Fan Taicheng to introduce him on my behalf." Zhang Youniang was eager to try.
"Ugh!"
Fan Zheng had a feeling that he had moved a stone and hit his feet, but he proposed that the palace had a contraceptive method, and he couldn't shirk it.
At that moment, Fan Zheng took Zhang Youniang to the palace and explained his intentions, but he didn't get Zhao Xu's good face.
"The royal family of the Great Song Dynasty has always had no heirs, do you think the royal family will have contraceptive medicine?" Zhao Xu gritted his teeth a little and said
If it weren't for Fan Zheng and Female Doctor Zhang, Zhao Xu would definitely blow them away, even if Fan Zheng's original intention was to solve the population problem of the Great Song Dynasty, but going to the Great Song Palace to find a prescription for the Avoiding Zi Tang would be too much of a bully.
Fan Zheng stubbornly said: "Weichen naturally believes that the official family and the previous emperors will not be like this, but how can there be no harem fighting in the previous dynasties, maybe there are one or two medical prescriptions circulating, maybe they can help Doctor Zhang and find a solution to the crisis of the population explosion in the Great Song Dynasty." ”
"The stones of other mountains can be used to attack jade, and only when doctors have a deeper study of contraceptive medicine can they completely control the secrets of fertility and further treat infertility." Zhang Youniang also spoke.
……………………
Hearing Zhang Youniang's unintentional words, Zhao Xu suddenly fell into deep thought.
Although he benefited from Fan Zheng's evil formula, he gave birth to a son and two daughters in a short period of time, and successfully solved the crisis of the succession of the throne.
However, as an emperor, he has too much responsibility, and it is still very risky to inherit the throne with only one son, especially the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty has died a lot, not to mention that there is a precedent for Renzong, which makes Zhao Xu feel a little worried.
If the doctor can further his research on fertility medicine, perhaps he will have another chance to get a prince, greatly reducing the risk of succession to the throne, which is something that the emperor must consider.
"Yang Jian, you cooperate with Female Doctor Zhang to check the living notes and books in the palace!"
Although letting outsiders inquire about the living notes in the palace will leak the secrets of the royal family, Zhao Xu finally compromised in order to have the possibility of getting the prince again, and Zhang Youniang is a female doctor, not to mention that the purpose of female doctor Zhang is for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty.
After Yang Jian left with Zhang Youniang, Zhao Xu said with a solemn face: "Fan Aiqing, can contraception really resolve the population crisis?" ”
Not only are doctors worried about the crisis of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu, as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, is naturally sleepless, in this era there are no chemical fertilizers and high-yield crops, and now 10,000 people are already the peak of the Great Song Dynasty, and the food gap will become bigger and bigger in the future, and even the court estimates that with the current territory and grain output of the Great Song Dynasty, the limit that can withstand 20,000 people.
Once the population reaches the limit, as long as there is a slight disturbance in the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably fall into collapse, and according to the current fertility rate, the Great Song Dynasty will grow from 10,000 to 20,000 in just 20 years.
Fan Zheng's face was solemn, and the officials of the court were also quite far-sighted, and when the population of the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, it was about 20,000 people, and finally because of natural and man-made disasters, it fell into collapse, so that it was taken advantage of by the Qing army.
Although the Qing Dynasty had a larger population, there were already many high-yield crops at that time, which could feed a larger population, which did not have much reference significance for the Great Song Dynasty, but the last years of the Ming Dynasty were a replica of the future crisis of the Great Song Dynasty.
Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Even if the contraceptive technique is successfully developed, the Great Song Dynasty can only delay the population crisis, and the population crisis will still come in the end." ”
The population base of the Great Song Dynasty is huge, and even if the contraceptive technique is developed, the current medical conditions and production conditions are not mature, and it is difficult to produce perfect products and drugs, not to mention the key to the traditional fertility and blessing of the Great Song Dynasty, which is the biggest obstacle to slowing down population growth.
Zhao Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Does the Great Song Dynasty have to embark on the road of expansion?" ”
Zhao Xu didn't have much ambition, according to his original idea, it was to inherit the legacy of his father Song Shenzong, continue to lead the Great Song Dynasty to change the law and become strong, defeat Liaoxia, recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and let the Great Song Dynasty no longer be bullied.
Now he has just revitalized the Great Song Dynasty, but he found that the dragon slaying boy eventually became an evil dragon, and he also had to lead the Great Song Dynasty on the road of bullying other countries, which made Zhao Xu's heart quite entangled.
"Heart disease!"
Fan Zheng couldn't help frowning when he saw Zhao Xu's reaction, after all, Zhao Xu was still a young man who had just won the crown, and he didn't have the experience of being a man in two lives, and he didn't have the belly of a mature politician.
This is of course his great appreciation for Zhao Xu, but as an emperor, he is not qualified.
Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Weichen specially studied the southwest jungle for this battle of Dali, and accidentally discovered a law in the jungle, which is very applicable to the current Great Song Dynasty. ”
"The law of the jungle?"
Zhao Xu couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Fan Zheng puzzled.
Fan Zheng said solemnly: "In the jungle, all life is trying to survive, there is only one towering tree in an area, this towering tree keeps expanding its branches and leaves, growing upwards, getting more sunlight and rain, all the trees under the big tree will be shrouded in it, unless this towering tree falls, other trees will have a day." ”
"Today's Great Song has grown into a towering tree?" Zhao Xu's heart moved, and he instantly understood Fan Zheng's metaphor.
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "The resources in the jungle are limited, only the strong can get the most, and in the same way, the resources of a country are also limited, only the Great Song Dynasty is stronger and captures more land, so that the people of the Great Song Dynasty can get a chance to survive." ”
Zhao Xu frowned and said: "But we are a country of etiquette, a living person, not a ruthless grass and tree. ”
"Plants and trees are indeed ruthless, but the law of the jungle is also reflected in animals, the jungle is the law of the jungle is the eternal truth, carnivores keep preying on herbivores, because once the carnivores stop preying, then they will face an existential crisis, face a crisis of ethnicity. And between countries, the law of the jungle is also pursued! The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest! ”
"The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest!" Zhao Xu couldn't help but be shocked, and suddenly thought about it.
"Now that the Great Song Dynasty is strong, then we must take the opportunity to make the Great Song Dynasty stronger, once the Great Song Dynasty is weak, the surrounding countries will pounce on it like a wolf, do the officials really want to make the Five Hu chaotic and the tragedy of the alien race entering the Central Plains repeat again." Fan Zheng said solemnly.
Zhao Xu shook his head solemnly, he ascended the throne at the age of ten, although he was not pro-government, but he had also seen the weakest side of the Great Song Dynasty, and saw Liaoxia's arrogance and unreasonableness, he couldn't understand it at that time, and now he heard the law of the jungle summarized by Fan Zheng, which suddenly made Zhao Xu feel like an initiation.
"Since the people of the Great Song Dynasty are destined to increase day by day, then use the sword of the Great Song Dynasty to obtain land for the plough of the Great Song Dynasty, the official family is the official family of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and you only need to consider it for the people of the Great Song Dynasty!" Fan Zheng said solemnly.
"The sword of the Great Song Dynasty obtains the land for the plough of the Great Song Dynasty!"
When Zhao Xu heard this, he was immediately full of pride, and the heart disease in his heart was suddenly cured without medicine.
"Fan Taicheng is really the best at curing heart diseases, which makes me suddenly enlightened!" Zhao Xu looked at Fan Zheng and sighed.
He suffered from heart disease twice, one was depressed when he was not in power, and the other was the impact of the Great Song Dynasty's successive wars on Confucian education, and both of these heart diseases were easily cured by Fan Zheng.
Fan Zheng arched his hand and said: "Wechen doesn't dare to take credit, Wechen just tells the simplest truth of the doctor, all life in the world is competing, from small grasshoppers to big countries, all of them are no longer struggling to survive, and the Great Song Dynasty should be self-reliant, and there must be no slackness." ”
Zhao Xu nodded thoughtfully, and there was no need for the future expansion of the Great Song Dynasty in his heart.
"Thank you for your kindness! The old body is fortunate not to be dishonored. ”
At this moment, Zhang Youniang, who was ordered to check the living notes, returned, interrupting the conversation between Fan Zheng and Zhao Xu.
"Female Doctor Zhang has found a royal contraceptive prescription?" Fan Zheng was pleasantly surprised.
Zhang Youniang glanced at Zhao Xu, and then said cautiously: "The old body found out from Taizong's living note that Emperor Taizong had a record of Xiao Zhouhou, and once let Xiao Zhouhou drink the soup and found the prescription for the soup. ”
Zhao Xu's face was embarrassed suddenly, he naturally knew that what Zhang Youniang said was the famous "After Tasting Picture", which was the biggest stain in Taizong's life.
"The prescription for the avoidance soup?" Fan Zheng couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he didn't pay attention to the royal scandal, what he really cared about was the Shunzi soup, which had been verified by all dynasties, and its effect naturally did not need to be doubted.
Zhang Youniang nodded and said: "Yes, this recipe is quite magical, and there are no poisonous medicinal materials, if the female doctor can study the prescription of the ancient Shunzi Tang and make it into a medicine, it is enough to achieve the effect of contraception." ”
The appearance of the child-avoiding soup surprised Zhang Youniang, and she believed that as long as she studied more on this basis, she would definitely be able to control the contraceptive technique.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, with this side, we will definitely buy more time for the population crisis of the Great Song Dynasty." Fan Zheng said happily.
"Then there are all the laborers." Zhao Xu also breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly. (End of chapter)
