Chapter five hundred and fifteen delivered to the 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 Jing State 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. 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 power. 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...
He looked at that young face and 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 these things. If in future generations, I dare to ask the question of whether to protect the elder or the younger, the pregnant woman’s family could kill a midwife with one punch!
Just now Bai sighed, Emperor Jing held his chest, breathing a little quickly - how long has it been since he had this urge to hit someone?
"Say!" He squeezed out one 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 study obstetrics 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 - is there anyone who knows how to give birth better than them?
Liu Jimin turned around and looked at County Uncle Li who was still talking...
Well, yes.
Mr. Li said just now that he didn't know how to have children. I'm afraid he was just speaking modestly. 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 these, 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. There are many examples of concubines in the palace who died due to difficult childbirth. 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 moment 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 charge of it than for him to be the emperor.
It is not difficult to come up with a solution, but what is difficult is 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 year in the bitter cold winter, the north wind was biting and the mountains were covered with heavy snow, an old man with gray hair fell at the door of County Uncle Li... According to the old minister's guess, the man who taught County Uncle Li medical skills
The old man should be a famous hidden doctor. He passed on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and wound suturing techniques to Uncle Li. However, it is a pity that this miracle doctor did not leave any other works..."
Imperial physician Liu Jimin knew this allusion and immediately spoke with a regretful tone.
Emperor Jing waved his hand. He had completely understood that as long as Li Yi could not give birth to a child on his own, nothing would be surprising. Thinking of another thing, he looked at Li Yi and said: "Think of the college enrollment, after all, I can't do it like this."
You are so wanton and reckless. The hundred people who have been admitted cannot be changed. I have given ten places to Qin Xiang and others. Can you find a way to place them...? Remember in the future, don't be so obvious."
Li Yi thought about meeting Qin Xiang outside just now. Could it be that this was what he was discussing with His Majesty in the palace just now?
Ten places, what a big appetite!
The total number of all the noble sons in Kyoto is only thirty-four, but the Shu king's line wants ten more?
From the fact that they can get ten more places from His Majesty, it shows that the influence of the Qin Prime Minister and the King of Shu in the court is that they want to use the arithmetic academy as a springboard. After completing their studies in the future, they will become another member of the King of Shu.
Big help?
If you let them get their wish, what's the point of doing what you do?
No, that's not fair.
In order to scrape together that test paper, he stayed up half an hour longer than usual at night, and was impeached by many people before he got the result that was above the court that day.
You just want ten places casually, do you really think that the academy director is just a free man?
Emperor Jing looked at him and said, "You are still young and 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 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 School of Calculation?"
"Prime Minister Qin and others have spent a lot of effort on this, how could they leave voluntarily?" Emperor Jing glanced at him and said, "If they leave voluntarily, no one will have anything to say."
"I beg you to leave!" In this case, Li Yi nodded, turned and left.
"It's strange that he didn't put any conditions on me. It's 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 and opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
After a while, he walked outside the palace, looked into the distance, and sighed leisurely.
"If you can't avoid it, you'll find it delivered to your door yourself - why bother?"
