Spring and Autumn I Am King

ps: There is another chapter at 12:00

"Send those who oppose the monarchy to the stake?" Zhao Wuxi felt amused when he thought of Nanzi's threatening words.

Song Guo has his own bottom line. There is no doubt about it. In Zhao Wuxi's eyes, Nanzi is a fox with a strong desire for territory. , thoughts are regarded as haters...

This woman is too insecure. The fanatical Tiandao believers and Song people's respect for the public office are the two fulcrums that support her power. Neither is indispensable, and it is not allowed to be corrupted and damaged by foreign radical ideas. That's why she expelled Confucius because she was afraid that if Confucius stayed for a long time, there would be a countercurrent against her.

However, Zigong made a promise to several neighboring countries later: the expulsion of the monarch and the establishment of the republican administration were determined by the special national conditions of the Cao Kingdom, and would never spread to the outside world. Interested in the voice falling into the money jar.

Believe it or not, Lu, Wei, and Song can only accept this fact, because the three kingdoms of them are all members of the Central Plains order dominated by the Zhao clan, Lu Song is on the second ladder, and Wei is still in a lower position. . Zhao Wuxi asked them to be good neighbors and friendly, but did not prohibit their contradictions and competition. The three countries were on guard against each other, which was a good thing for Zhao.

The excavation plan of "Heshui" was also finalized later. This time, Wei Guo did not need to participate. Zhao Wuxi acted as an intermediary. Cao, Lu and Song held a trilateral meeting. Song Guo, who is not confident enough in his own strength, needs Zhao's protection very much, and Nanzi strongly supports the Heshui plan.

Although the State of Lu thinks that Heshui is optional, after all, it is only a sideshow in the south of the State of Lu, and the economic improvement of Qufu, the capital of Lu, is really not high. But this matter was supported and promoted by Zhao Wuxi, and of course Zai Yu wouldn't make fun of himself, and immediately agreed with both hands.

After Zhao Wuxi had finalized the overall situation, he became the shopkeeper. He handed over the allocation of funds and manpower to the canal to the three parties to quarrel and resolve it. He made full preparations first, and officially started construction after the excavation of the Wei Canal was completed.

In Zhao Wuxi's plan, after the completion of the Weiqu, Zhao's strategic focus will move eastward to Qi and Lu. After Heshui is completed, his eyes will officially go to Song Guo, Si Shang, and Xu Di.

Limited by the times, his strategy must be based on canals and roads. If he does not want the Zhao family to "become prosperous and die suddenly", he must be patient and take it step by step.

The first thing that needs to be solved is the state of the Rong and Di in the north of the Jin state. If they are eliminated, they can not only expand the land, but also gain population, livestock, horses and various war resources. It can also prevent the feudal lords from being frightened, let them unite prematurely, and come out of the five kingdoms to attack Zhao.

more importantly……

"Dai, Zhongshan and I are in Jizhou, where chickens and dogs hear each other, and the gates are adjacent to each other. How can others be allowed to sleep on the side of this couch!?"

...

If anyone could sleep soundly beside Zhao Shangqing, then in addition to his wife and concubines, he would be his children.

In Yecheng in early May, cicadas rang through the streets. In the cool room, Zhao Heng, who was only eight months old, was lying in his cradle and was sleeping soundly, unaware that his father, who had just returned from Taoqiu, was standing beside him staring at him.

"I haven't seen you for more than a month, and it's a little older..." A big hand scratched his nose, Zhao Wuxi showed great affection for his eldest son, who was better than his elder brother Zhao Cao He moved, and there was a bit of cleverness in his eyes, but he didn't know what he would be like when he grew up.

It's a pity that my health is not very good. From birth to now, I have been sick and suffering...

"Just finished a child's cold, fortunately, there is no danger, I just hope he can be safe before the age of..."

Le Lingzi is not only the wife of the Zhao family, but also the mother of a son and a daughter. Her maternal radiance was filled with worry, and when she could get out of bed after confinement, she took over the task of raising her son from Fu Mu. The child suffered from pneumonia shortly after birth, and would have a minor illness every two months after that. For this reason, the entire Zhao family and their retainers were very worried. Zhao Wuxi even went to the Zhao family temple to pray for the blessing of the ancestors.

Fortunately, Zhao Wuxi had a wife with excellent medical skills. Zhao Heng was pulled back by Le Lingzi several times when he was on the verge of danger. If she didn't care, she would be chaotic, and she still calmly took the needle, allowing Zhao Wuxi to avoid the pain of losing a child that almost everyone experienced in this era: Although he is a later generation, his knowledge of medical skills is limited to popular science, his son Sick, he is also blind...

Gently tested his son's temperature with his forehead, and after making him a whole thin blanket, Le Lingzi turned around with a serious face, and bowed to Zhao Wuxie.

Wu Xie hurriedly supported her: "Lingzi, what is this doing?"

She lowered her head and said: "Although Heng'er is not in the way, every time I see him, my concubine thinks of Jiangdu immigrants in Yecheng. There are people who have lost their children. There are nine out of ten! Jin, Lu, Song Lieguo. , I don’t know how many…”

Zhao Wuxi nodded solemnly, yes, due to medical and sanitary conditions, the proportion of children dying prematurely in ancient times was staggering. Zhao Wuxi knew that in the "Book of the Day" of Qin bamboo slips unearthed in later generations, he was concerned about the health prospects of newborn children. and prayers occupy a large space, "to beget a son, the son to die", "to beget a son, the son to die, but not to give birth", and similar accounts are scattered throughout the book.

"Not giving birth to a child" is a fairly common social phenomenon. In the past ten years, Zhao Wuxi has seen a lot, not only the common people, but also the families of the emperors, princes, and officials with better conditions, and there are many children who die prematurely. . Polygamy and multiple children, isn't it helpless insurance caused by fear of this phenomenon? Zhao Wuxi only has two sons, and it is impossible to say how many there will be in the future, or not, so he paid more attention to the cultivation of the eldest son when his eldest son was in poor health, all to prevent Just in case...

This cruel natural selection, until after the Industrial Revolution, human beings can break through it!

But no one can watch the future of the family and the country die one after another, leaving a small grave but indifferent!

Young Wu Young, as well as young people, Le Lingzi has such a mind, Zhao Wu Xie is relieved, this is what a monarch's wife should look like.

He lifted Le Lingzi up and said softly, "What do you think, but it doesn't matter!"

...

"Although the master has set up pediatric doctors in the medical center, along with the doctors who lead the way, the doctors for eyes and ears, as well as the articulation, physical therapy, and sores, it is still not enough. For example, this city of Ye, although there are many medical centers, There are also dozens of magpies in town, but when they encounter pediatric diseases, if they don’t have a few years of medical experience, it is still difficult to start, because children are no better than adults.

After two pregnancies for ten months, after having a pair of children, Le Lingzi's understanding and mood of medicine have changed a lot.

"Do you want to increase the training of paediatricians?"

"It's not just a pediatrician, it has to start from the source. I've asked the maid to check it out. The woman is difficult to give birth, or the conditions are too poor, and the delivery room is too dirty, which leads to the infection of fine gu, which is also an important reason for not giving birth to children. "

"What are your plans? Keep talking." As long as his wives, wives and concubines are not involved in politics and want to do something, Zhao Wuxi will encourage him, a taciturn fertility machine who lives in a secluded palace? The influence and usefulness of the ladies should not end there.

After Le Lingzi coughed lightly, she told her husband all the ideas she had sorted out.

"First, we should pay attention to bringing doctors (gynecological doctors), for example, in terms of birth delivery, we must promote some effective methods to avoid bad habits. The concubine also has experience after two deliveries, and wrote an article of more than 10,000 words. "The Essentials of Production", the four parts of raising a fetus, labor, during labor, and postpartum, can be used as the basis for taking doctors to study. There is also the midwifery forceps invented by the husband, which should also be promoted!"

Le Lingzi carefully observed Zhao Wuxi's expression. After all, Zhao Shangqing would be furious about the method of birth delivery written based on her production experience, and regarded it as a shameful secret and ordered not to pass it on.

However, Zhao Wuxi didn't show any signs of anger, just listened carefully.

Le Lingzi breathed a sigh of relief and continued talking.

The biggest defect of birth delivery in this era lies in the lack of necessary knowledge and basic means of disinfection, which often leads to diseases such as puerperal fever in puerperae. Especially in the case of dystocia, there is no corresponding technology, and some people follow the old method to pull bluntly, or even use a hook to hook, and some ask for gods and ghosts to use witchcraft, causing a large number of deaths of mothers and babies.

Thinking of her almost dystocia experience, Le Lingzi had lingering fears, but fortunately, the maid Fu Mu listened to her instructions. Le Lingzi screamed loudly and exerted herself, while looking down to observe and instruct them.

Outside the delivery room, Zhao Wuxi was so anxious that he had already made wooden forceps for backup, relying on his memories of later generations. This object has two flat blades, which are slightly curved to match the shape of the head of the fetus. It can gently and firmly pull the head. Once the head of the fetus is exposed, the rest of the body can be easily produced. Zhao Heng It was born like this, thank Haotian, mother and child are safe.

"Secondly, because there are many male doctors and few female doctors, the doctors who take them are seldom involved in delivering and caring for mothers and babies. Most of them are performed by the mother's family members and invited wizards and midwives. They have made up many birth taboos. It is forbidden to give birth at home, and expectant mothers are required to move under a tree outside their home, or to the kitchen or livestock barn; in some places, it is forbidden to give birth on a bed, and mothers are required to move to the ground, with only some straw, stove ashes, etc. loess……"

In today's harsh environment ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ How can the ratio of mother and child death be not low? As she talked, Le Lingzi was already gnashing her teeth. Not only did she understand Bian Que's medical skills, but under the influence of Zhao Wuxi's theory of "fine gu" disease, she already had a clear understanding of the origin of this ten thousand diseases. Only a minority of people have reached this point.

Zhao Wuxi also thought about it, even in the middle of the 20th century, in Tibetan areas, there was still a prejudice against pregnant women, thinking that they were unclean, forcing them to go to the snowy plateau outside the tent to solve it by themselves, like a yak giving birth to a baby. Extinction... For this reason, there are not a few mothers and their children. The population base of a certain ethnic group is sparse. This kind of bad habits and prejudice is also one of the important reasons.

If you want to change this ignorant era, there are too many things that need to be done. How can a mere ten years be enough? Only relying on Zhao Wuxi alone, how can it be possible?

Therefore, more people need to be involved, including the family members and cronies around him who are most affected by him.

Le Lingzi raised his eyes, as a mother, Zhao Wuxi saw different beauty in her.

"So the concubine's idea is that we should cultivate a group of female doctors who are proficient in childbirth and pediatrics from the magpies!" (To be continued.)
