The north wind is howling, the weather is cold, the New Year has just passed, and the earth has not yet regained spring.

Chen Qi has been in a very bad mood recently, a little inexplicable irritability, a kind of uneasiness that comes from nowhere has been enveloping him, but he can't find the source, and his mother is going to give birth in two months, so he can't think about it too much. Due to the very backward medical conditions and technology in this world, the mortality rate of childbirth is very terrifying, and childbirth is also called a ghost gate.

So, these days, Chen Qi has been living in Chen's Mansion, accompanying his mother, and never daring to leave half a step, his mother is naturally happy, and the anxiety of her husband's absence has decreased a lot.

Yes, Chen Zong did not come back for the Chinese New Year this year, even though he had written to tell him the news of his mother's pregnancy, which made Chen Qi very dissatisfied. However, Chen Zong wrote that he had successfully entered a great Confucian sect in the Central Plains and was working hard, and his grandfather and mother were very pleased and forgave him.

One day, grandfather Chen Shou suddenly sent someone to look for him.

"Grandpa, why did you summon the kid?" Chen Qi wondered.

"Half a year ago, as soon as the red turban thief was exterminated, the imperial court sent an official document, the king of Zhennan left Beijing to become a domain, and the fief was in Lingnan.

"Who is the king of Zhennan? He wants to come to Lingnan to become a vassal officer, which is really unprecedented. Chen Qi was a little surprised.

The vassal system of the Great Liang Dynasty is very similar to that of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, in order to strengthen the centralization of power, all adult princes have to leave Beijing to become a vassal, and when they reach the fief, they will be kept in captivity, without any power, without a holy decree, and they cannot leave half a step, just like raising pigs.

Of course, these vassal kings also have a lot of political preferential treatment, and the annual income is also very rich, in addition to their efforts to create people, they also do a lot of bad things such as bullying men and women, and annexing land, but they are big pests in the place.

However, the fiefdoms of the previous vassal kings were all in the prosperous Central Plains and Guanzhong, and the farthest was also the prosperous Suzhou and Hangzhou regions, and no vassal king had ever been enshrined in Lingnan. You must know that Lingnan is a wild place in the eyes of the world, and there is no difference between being sealed here and being exiled, but it looks better on the face.

"King Zhennan is the fourteenth son of the current saint, it is said that he is gifted and intelligent, wise and martial, and a corporal of Lixian, but it's a pity. Chen Shou sighed.

"It turned out to be the prince today?" Chen Qi couldn't believe it, according to the etiquette law, the king name is precious to a single word, and the double number is a miscellaneous number of the prince, and only a few kings with different surnames appeared in this dynasty when the country was founded.

"Grandpa, what did this king of Zhennan do, that he was pointed out by thousands of people, and everyone was afraid of dogs?"

"Alas, not those selfish sneaky villains......"

It turns out that this fourteenth prince has really done a lot of great things. For example, in the Red Turban Rebellion, when the main force of the Red Turban Thieves was defeated by the Northern Army, he went to the imperial court and distributed the large areas of land that were ownerless because of the war to the displaced people according to their heads.

After the Red Turban Thieves were pacified, the fourteenth prince gained a lot of prestige, but I don't know what he thought, so he suddenly wrote a letter asking for a thorough investigation of the world's acres, sorting out the land register, census of the population, reforming the tax system, apportioning the land into the mu, and taxing according to the mu.

Okay, now the whole court inside and outside the pot, the pot has exploded, all the courtiers, nobles, relatives, and even the vassal kings in other places, all opposed, thinking that these are the policies of chaos in the country, and at the same time have written that the fourteenth prince has reached adulthood, according to the ancestral system, he should leave Beijing to become a vassal, and set the fief in Lingnan, and distribute it far away.

"This Zhennan King is also a virtuous person, but unfortunately he is a little impulsive, and he has no bright future when he leaves Luoyang. Chen Qi finally concluded.

Sure enough, half a month later, the frame of King Zhen'an arrived in Guangzhou City, and in the convoy, the family members, palace maids, eunuchs and guards added up to less than 300 people, which can be described as very shabby.

Chen Qi saw Zhen'an Wang Wei Wei for the first time, about twenty years old, white-faced and beardless, looking very weak, at this time his eyes were blank, his face was pale, and his body exuded a smell of wine, very decadent, but he still greeted him according to the etiquette.

It's better to be famous than to meet, Chen Qi sighed, this Zhen'an King is just a weak and pedantic scholar, he can't stand a blow, and he gives up on himself. After the first time I adopted it, I tasted the benefits of the book, and the second time I didn't consider the consequences, I impulsively wrote the book, and as a result, I became a pitiful worm who was pitted. There should be a conspiracy to fight for the throne, and it has become a victim of political struggle.

According to etiquette, after greeting, a banquet should be set up, but the king of Zhennan excused himself on the grounds of physical discomfort, and everyone was not reluctant, they just had to come because of the etiquette, and Ba had to have a relationship with this unlucky vassal king.

Although Chen Shou was somewhat sympathetic to the king of Zhennan, he was an official of the imperial court, and he was born with the mission of monitoring the local vassal kings.

Finally, the day has come when the melons are ripe and falling. At noon more than a month later, the mother suddenly complained of abdominal pain, and Chen Qi quickly called Wen Po and the female doctor to send the mother to the delivery room.

Chen Qi stood in the courtyard, listening to his mother's heart-rending screams, and his usually stable mood had already been lost to Java, pacing back and forth. Even Chen Shou, who has always been in a high state of mind, was also a little nervous, and seemed to sit calmly on the stone bench in the courtyard and drink tea slowly, but he had already drunk three pots of tea, and kept complimenting.

Finally, with a terrible scream from the mother, the child's cry came, and it was all over. As soon as Chen Qi and his grandfather breathed a sigh of relief, they saw Wen Po walking out in a panic, "Lord Taishou, the young lady is bleeding non-stop, what should I do?"

What?!" Chen Shou finally panicked, postpartum hemorrhage in this world is equivalent to death.

"Grandpa, calm down," Chen Qi calmed down, slapped his face, and shouted outside the courtyard, "You all come in." ”

The courtyard door was pushed open, and two female doctors walked in, they were carefully prepared by Chen Qi, and he taught them what little knowledge he had about women's childbirth.

In this era, there are two main dangers for women to give birth, the first is dystocia, which is the most dangerous, usually one corpse has two lives, but the mother has given birth several times, and the possibility of dystocia is very small, but Chen Qi still prepared midwifery tools such as midwifery forceps, and even under the current backward conditions, he prepared a laparotomy, a highly alcoholic lamp, a bone needle, fish intestine and other tools for caesarean section.

The second situation is postpartum hemorrhage, which is the most dangerous for the mother, almost ten deaths, heavy bleeding must first stop the bleeding, Chen Qiming blacksmith built a hemostat, clamped the arteries and blood vessels at the critical moment, used bone needles and fish intestine sutures, and even taught a set of acupuncture secret methods to two female doctors, this set of acupuncture and moxibustion secret methods use silver needles to stimulate special acupoints, resulting in blood vessel constriction, which can quickly stop bleeding, which is Chen Qi from an old Chinese medicine doctor in his previous life, and finally got it.

If you lose too much blood, you need a blood transfusion, Chen Qi has long used a silver needle to take a few drops of blood on her body while her mother is not paying attention, and match her own blood, now there is no scientific instrument, you can only take the primitive method of blood recognition and matching, put two drops of blood in clean water, if fused, it means that it is the same blood type, or the blood type is not compatible, can be used for blood transfusion. Chen Qi is obviously his mother's own son, and his blood type is successfully matched.

"Don't be nervous, play your usual level, just do your best," Although he had practiced secretly many times, Chen Qi still couldn't help but tell the two female doctors, of course, he wouldn't put too much pressure on them.

As for the object of the exercise, it is natural that the people in Guangzhou City who have encountered difficulties in childbirth for several months, Chen Qi bought all the stable women in Guangzhou City, so that when they encountered dystocia and hemorrhage, he recommended two female doctors to the master, praising them for their superb medical skills, especially good at gynecology, dead horses as live horse doctors, and the master will agree.

Of course, in order to avoid causing panic, when rescuing, the family members have been driven out, although there have been several failures, but more success, the two female doctors have also accumulated a lot of experience, and they have also made a name for themselves in the city of Guangzhou.
