Happy Little Scholar

Chapter 515: Delivered to your door

"Having a child?" Li Yi looked at Emperor Jing in surprise and shook his head: "This, this minister can't do it either!"

Emperor Jing glared at him and said, "No one wants you to give birth to a child. I ask you, is there any way to reduce the possibility of a woman dying in childbirth?"

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "A woman's pelvis can only be fully developed after the age of twenty. If Your Majesty postpones a woman's marriage age to after the age of twenty, it will naturally greatly reduce the probability of dystocia."

Emperor Jing frowned slightly, and Liu Jimin looked bitter. Although this method was effective, it was simply not feasible.

If His Majesty decrees now that all women in Jingguo should give birth after the age of twenty, then the country's population will definitely decrease sharply in a long period of time. Population is closely related to taxation, corvee, and national strength, and then the land will be uncultivated. , without enough soldiers, how to resist a strong enemy?

A trace of disappointment appeared on Emperor Jing's face. Population is closely related to national strength. Not only him, but also the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would not agree to delay the marriage age of women to after twenty years old. This would shake the foundation of the country...

Looking at that young face, he finally realized that Li Yi was only a young man. Even though he had solved his worries many times, he was not omnipotent and could not even understand a woman's childbirth.

"Is there really no other way?" Emperor Jing sighed. It was impossible to delay a woman's marriage leave age to twenty years old, but if she delayed it for a few years, although she would encounter some resistance, it might not be impossible.

Now that he knew this, he couldn't just sit back and watch.

"Of course... yes."

Li Yixin said that in ancient times, women had difficulty in giving birth. The young age at childbirth was an important reason, but it was not without other factors, such as malnutrition, insufficient sanitary conditions, and unprofessional midwives... There were too many reasons.

Do you have obstetrics and gynecology? Do you know what obstetrics and nursing are? Do you know what midwifery is? Do you know 200 nutritional recipes for pregnant women?

I don’t even know this. If in future generations, if I dare to ask the question of whether to protect the elder or the younger, the pregnant woman’s family can kill a midwife with one punch!

Bai sighed just now. Emperor Jing held his chest and breathed a little quickly--how long has it been since he had this urge to hit someone?

"Say!" He squeezed out a word through his teeth.

"Pay attention to hygiene and disinfection to avoid puerperal fever and infant umbilical cord infection; midwives are trained intensively and work with certificates, and illegal midwives are cracked down on; a medical school and an obstetrics and gynecology department are established outside the Imperial Medical Office to learn obstetric knowledge in depth... "

The imperial doctor ordered Liu Jimin to secretly write down what Li Yi said. He already knew what disinfection was and would use it when suturing wounds. As for training midwives--there were people who knew how to do it better than them. Have a baby?

Liu Jimin turned around and looked at County Uncle Li who was still talking...

Well, there is.

Mr. Li just said he didn't know how to have children. I'm afraid it was just a humble statement. This is also in line with Mr. Li's temperament of keeping a low profile.

As for setting up medical schools and obstetrics and gynecology departments outside the Imperial Medical Office, no one in the Imperial Medical Office seems to understand this, but...

Liu Jimin looked at Uncle Li County again---well, this is not a problem.

Emperor Jing's mind had calmed down and he looked a little dazed.

Childbirth is a process of competing with God, and there are many examples of concubines in the palace who died due to dystocia. Even twenty years ago, the queen almost died because of this, and the two princes also died shortly after birth. Twenty years later, whenever he thinks of these things, he still feels pain in his heart.

If, if Li Yi had told him this twenty years ago, wouldn't those things have happened?

Twenty years ago…

Emperor Jing shook his head. Twenty years ago, Li Minghan was still the eldest son of his Li family in Kyoto, so there was no way he could have Li Yi.

"That's all I know."

Li Yi looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess and gave her a secret wink. There was only so much he could do to help her.

Li Mingzhu immediately stepped forward and said: "Father, although this matter is serious, there are still many women in the world who are kept in the dark. I want to hold a banquet in the palace and invite the ladies of Kyoto who have not yet left the palace. , as women, they should know these things..."

Emperor Jing thought for a while and said, "You can discuss this matter with your mother."

After all, it is a woman's matter, and it is more appropriate for the queen and the eldest princess to take the initiative than for him to be the emperor.

It is not difficult to come up with a solution, but it is difficult to implement it and make everyone accept it. Li Yi cannot handle this matter and can only leave it to Her Royal Highness.

For women all over the world, this is a great merit. Her Highness the Princess is already extremely famous in Kyoto. If she accomplishes this, I am afraid she will immediately gain the support of women in Kyoto and even all over the world, and become a leader. The woman behind all women.

And he, just quietly be a man who stands behind all women and women...

Besides, making perfumes, underwear, cosmetics, sanitary napkins, etc. can be considered a contribution to the majority of female compatriots, right?

Emperor Jing couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart. He looked at Li Yi and asked, "I'm very curious, why do you even know about women's childbirth?"

Li Yi thought to himself, "You don't care if I understand it or not. I know a lot of things. Can you know them all?"

"Your Majesty, this is because, one bitterly cold winter, the north wind was biting, the mountains were covered with snow, and an old man with gray hair fell at the door of Li County Bo... According to the old minister's guess, the old man who taught Li County Bo medical skills should be a famous doctor in the world. He taught Li County Bo cardiopulmonary resuscitation and wound suturing techniques. However, this miracle doctor did not leave any other works, which is a pity..."

The imperial physician Liu Jimin knew this allusion and spoke immediately, with a tone of regret.

Emperor Jing waved his hand. He had completely understood that as long as Li Yi could not have children by himself, nothing was worth being surprised about. Thinking of another thing, he looked at Li Yi and said, "Regarding the enrollment of the academy, I can't be as reckless as you. The 100 people who have been admitted cannot be changed. I gave Qin Xiang and others ten places. You find a way to place them... Okay, remember in the future, don't be so obvious."

Li Yi thought of meeting Qin Xiang outside just now. Could it be that what he discussed with His Majesty in the palace just now was this matter?

Ten places, what a big appetite!

There are only thirty-four children of all the rich and powerful in Kyoto, and the Shu King wants ten more?

The fact that they can get ten more places from His Majesty shows the influence of Qin Xiang and the Shu King in the court. They want to use the School of Mathematics as a springboard, and become another great helper to the Shu King after they finish their studies?

If they get what they want, what's the point of doing all this?

No, it's not fair.

In order to get that test paper, he stayed up half an hour longer than usual at night, and was impeached by so many people that he got the result in the court that day.

Just wanting ten places casually, do you really think the Dean of the School of Mathematics is just a job?

Emperor Jing looked at him and said, "You are still young, it is not appropriate to make too many enemies in the court."

Li Yi nodded and said, "I understand. If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

Emperor Jing waved his hand, and Li Yi walked out of the palace door. The next moment, he turned his head and asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, what if they voluntarily withdraw from the Academy?"

"Qin Xiang and others have gone to great lengths for this, how could they voluntarily leave." Emperor Jing glanced at him and said, "If they voluntarily leave, no one can say anything."

"I will take my leave!" In this case, Li Yi nodded and turned to leave.

"Strange, he didn't put forward any conditions to me, this is not like him..." Emperor Jing murmured in confusion, then shook his head and said, "After this incident, he has become much calmer."

Chang De stood behind him, opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything.

After a while, he walked out of the palace, looked into the distance, and sighed leisurely.

"It's too late to avoid it, but it's delivered to me------Why bother?"
