The Rise of the European Emperor

In fact, where modern obstetrics and gynecology technology is more advanced than ancient times, there is far more than a natural delivery lateral cut, and a forceps production method. Its content is to use a wooden clip with no edges and corners to clamp the emerging baby during labor and gently pull it out to help the mother give birth.

It can be said that because of the lateral incision and forceps, it is no longer a dangerous thing for women in later generations to have children, and at most it is very painful. Only abnormal fetal position, or giant baby, will lead to dystocia. Or, the maternal age is too high, and the physical strength cannot keep up, resulting in fainting on the spot.

Among them, the problem of abnormal fetal position can also be solved in ancient times. Mainly rely on experienced midwives to help touch to determine whether it is in the right position. Then, if it is not right, it will help to restore the right position through some specific actions.

But the problem of giant babies is beyond the reach of medical methods in this era. In later generations, giant babies could only be delivered by caesarean section. But in this day and age, in the case of caesarean section, with disinfection methods such as alcohol, it is possible to ensure that the mother will not die. However, it is difficult to guarantee suture clearance. Perhaps, after one cut, the woman will not be able to get pregnant again.

Therefore, the fundamental control method is not to overnutrition. And like in ancient China, the practice of giving mothers to drink old hen soup and other tonics is actually increasing the possibility of children becoming giant babies. When giving birth, the younger the child, the less difficult it is to give birth. Of course, except for those who are undernourished. Because, the health of the child may have serious problems, even if the production is easy, the gain is not worth the loss...

So, for the next time, Marin strictly restricted Angela's diet. First, foods high in fat and sugar are banned. Meat food, only eat chicken breast and other low-fat, but high-protein content. Then, all kinds of vegetables are naturally non-stop. In this way, there is no shortage of nutrition, but it will not make the baby gain weight, so as to reduce the possibility of dystocia.

Angela is very dissatisfied with this. She doesn't eat foods with high fat content, but she is not allowed to eat sweets, which is terrible. For this reason, Angela's temper became very bad during this time. But for her safety, Marin could only be cruel. After all, the mortality rate of dystocia is too high in this era.

In the days that followed, Angela became the "Lafayette" in the Royal Palace of Aurich, and her temper increased, and she often pinched and pinched Marin. Although Marin was hot, but considering that she was the biggest during her pregnancy, she had to endure it all. The price for this is that the waist and arms are always blue and purple.

Marin, who was full of fire, naturally needed to find a vent. Then, the little wild cat Felice suffered. During this time with her, Marin suddenly fell in love with pumping PP. Then, Ferris' PP was also blue and purple during this time...

...

While the Marin family was playing the game of "you torture me, I'll torture her", on this day, a distinguished guest came to the Orich Palace...

The person here is the future Pope Leo X.

Archbishop Giovanni now. The reason why Archbishop Giovanni came to the door was because he himself came to Germany to supervise the sale of "indulgences".

Marin gave Archbishop Giovanni the idea of ​​selling "indulgences" a few years ago when he was in Rome. Then, Archbishop Giovanni also implemented it. Moreover, because he was in charge of German religious affairs, Archbishop Giovanni specially ordered the promotion of "indulgences" in Germany. However, sales of "indulgences" have grown somewhat slowly over the years.

Ordinarily, Archbishop Giovanni might not be in a hurry. However, Julius II suddenly became seriously ill some time ago. Although he was rescued after the incident, Marin also sent someone to help adjust his body.

However, this incident also gave a wake-up call to the cardinals in Rome - the Pope, who may soon be replaced...

Then, all the cardinals in Rome who were eligible to compete for the next pope moved, and the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers. In addition to building relationships to gain future votes, gaining popularity and political achievements is also one of the important means.

Especially for young bishops like Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici, because of their lack of prestige and achievements, they need more prestige and political achievements.

As a result, the sales performance of the "Indulgence Voucher" he is now responsible for has become the top priority. If he can make significant progress before Julius II's death and bring huge benefits to the Holy See, he will be able to gain significant points in the Holy See, which will be beneficial to the election of the Pope. After all, although the Roman cardinals also accept bribes when choosing the pope, they will not choose an incompetent person to be the pope. Generally speaking, those who can be elected as Pope must have both ability and financial resources.

In terms of financial resources, Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici has no problem. Not only the Bank of Siena, which is held by Marin, will fully support his election bribe, but most of the bankers in his hometown of Florence will also support him. So, now for Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici, the only thing to do is to prove his ability to the Roman Cardinals and prove that he can bring something beneficial to the Holy See. For example, fiscal revenue or something...

But in recent years, Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici felt that his promotion of "indulgence" in the German region seemed to grow slowly. Many princes even secretly boycotted the sale of "indulgences"...

So, he was very anxious. If the sales of "Indulgence" are not good, it will also affect his popularity in Rome, and even affect the Pope's election.

Then, he thought of Marin who gave him the idea...

In fact, Marin has always been known in Europe for being "tricky and insidious". Therefore, some anxious Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici took advantage of the opportunity to visit the German church, and simply ran to Aurich, went to the door to ask Marin for advice, and asked for "indulgence" in a short time. "The way to sell. If Julius II is dead, the sales of "Indulgences" still won't go up, and his hope of taking over will be hard to say.

...

For the future Pope Leo X, Marin naturally attached great importance to him and received him with high standards. And after learning about Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici's purpose, Marin thought about it and asked:

"How much is the annual sales volume of 'Indulgence' now? How is it divided into localities?"

"Currently, the annual sales in Germany are about 30,000 gold coins... As for the share... This... The local church will take 20% of the sales as cost..."

"No wonder!" Marin patted the table and finally found the reason.

According to Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici, "indulgences" are the exclusive business of the Holy See. Local churches help sell "indulgence vouchers", and can only get about 20% of the cost and errand fee, up to 30%. And there are so many people in the local church, and once they share it, they don't have a lot of money.

As a result, the sales of "indulgences" will naturally not go up. This thing is different from the "tithe". The "tithe" local church can use lies and excuses such as "local disaster" to be greedy, and the sale of the "indulgence" is issued by the Holy See. There are numbers, and the Holy See wants to take the lead. Because the profit share is too small, everyone's enthusiasm will naturally not increase.

And, for now, "indulgences" are sold in the German region, mainly in the ecclesiastical princely states. As for the secular princes, they are basically not allowed to sell. Because, it doesn't do them any good...
