"Ah, these days I finally feel that I still have a living father!" Lu Lingqi sat back in the large carriage and ate cut fruit.
This is not an ordinary sand fruit, but a sand fruit cut by Fang Tianhuaji!
At this time, Lu Lingqi also rarely wore armor, but wore a queen's gorgeous dress. Lu Lingqi was also pregnant for the first time, and she also did not dare to be willful at this time. She honestly accepted the "seizure of power" and temporarily resigned from the position of "Su Guard Chief".
”.
Because Lu Lingqi usually never needs maids, the maids taking care of her at this time were all temporarily hired, and the experienced Wang also volunteered to serve as a tutor.
Until now, Mrs. Wang still feels untrue when she thinks of her son being adopted as an adopted son by the King and Queen of Chu. She also feels a little uneasy when she thinks of her son being with the King of Chu...
Knowing the son is Mo Ruomu, what kind of thing is Deng Ai like? Doesn’t Wang know? He is afraid that he will offend the King of Chu.
But on the other hand, Bai Tu and Deng Ai get along well - now Bai Tu is mainly using some universal basic methods to help Deng Ai correct his stuttering problem.
Lu Lingqi is pregnant now. In a few years, Xiaobai, whether male or female, will go to school, and Deng Ai will be the best candidate to accompany her.
It's just a matter of stuttering...
First of all, Bai Tu can be sure that Deng Ai's stuttering has nothing to do with nervousness and lack of self-confidence. Not to mention Deng Ai in history. Wu Neng commanded the three armies and Wen Neng was in charge. What big scene has he not seen? Nor has he stuttered.
Getting better...
Besides, even the current Deng Ai is someone who dares to directly confront people in the middle with ethics. No matter how you look at it, he is not shy.
Therefore, Bai Tu guessed that Deng Ai's stuttering was mostly due to physiological reasons. He had also asked Wang before, and it was true that Deng Ai was seriously ill when he was three years old. This is why Deng generally felt that Deng Ai was a fool -
- Burned out!
But now it seems that Deng Ai did not burn out his brain, but the condition of his pharynx and nose was probably very bad at that time, and it was also the stage of language enlightenment at that time, so Deng Ai developed the habit of stuttering.
Now Baitu's correction to Deng Ai is mainly focused on pronunciation, that is, learning to speak again.
As for mentality and character... Although Deng Ai cannot be considered a perfect person in this aspect, and even historically Deng Ai's character was a demerit, but these are by no means the reasons for his stuttering.
Deng Ai is only five and a half years old, and there is no time to correct his stuttering or personality.
When Bai Tu's chariot returned to Jiangling, Hua Tuo had also rushed over from Jinling and met up with the King of Chu's chariot, which made Bai Tu even more relieved.
In fact, Hua Tuo didn’t do anything...
In Hua Tuo's words, Lu Lingqi's current situation is perfectly normal. She just needs to pay attention to some daily habits.
However, with the miracle doctor in charge, and considering Lu Lingqi's golden general's physique, Bai Tu felt that if there was another accident like this, then the requirements for pregnant women in this era would be too harsh!
At the same time, Bai Tu also thought that maybe there should be a special initiative to raise the age of mothers.
Although it had only been more than two months when she arrived in Jiangling, and she had not shown her pregnancy at all, Bai Tu looked at Lu Lingqi, who was jumping up and down in the past... well, she was being cautious and looking around for possible enemies.
A little more cautious, out of empathy, Bai Tu became more and more interested in all pregnant women.
The childbearing age in the Han Dynasty was generally fourteen or fifteen years old, or even thirteen years old for the first child.
Not to mention the private farmers who were hungry for labor. During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was only fourteen years older than his son Emperor Jing. Counting the ten-month pregnancy...
Even for men, giving birth at such an early age is obviously harmful to health. I think back when I first saw Bai Tu... ahem, it was not as early as Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty!
Not to mention that for women who are not yet fully developed, their age alone puts their childbirth, which is already very dangerous under the current environment, into an even more dangerous situation.
Population is very important. In these days when the land is still vast and sparsely populated, any prince encourages childbirth, but... using early childbearing to fight "loss" is definitely not a smart way in Bai Tu's opinion.
Even if nothing happens on the spot, it will be detrimental to the health of men and women in the future.
Bai Tu and Hua Tuo also talked about this...
"Your Majesty is wise, in my opinion, it is indeed too early for women to give birth now. If we postpone it for four or five years, the mortality rate of the first child will be reduced by at least 70%." After hearing what Bai Tu said, Hua Tuo immediately
interface channel.
Of course, Hua Tuo also knew that even if the mortality rate dropped by 70%, it would still be better to start giving birth at the age of thirteen or fourteen, which would be more conducive to population growth - postpone it for four to five years? During this time, everyone would give birth to their second child, or even their third child.
Pregnancy will naturally eliminate the mortality rate.
But Hua Tuo didn't mention this. He is a doctor. He only needs to give Bai Tu advice on medicine. As for the rest... he is just a doctor.
After Bai Tu received Hua Tuo's confirmation, he planned to discuss this issue with the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Rites after returning to Jinling.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs starts from people's livelihood, and the Ministry of Rites starts from concepts...
In fact, the childbearing age in Chu State is now slower than that in other regions.
Although Bai Tu did not specifically advocate "late marriage and late childbearing", at least during the period of the General's Office, the fine for "not marrying for fifteen years" had been cancelled...
The problem of too low a childbearing age in the Han Dynasty was not entirely due to popular will, but to the "court correctness" that began in the Liu Bang era.
After all, in the troubled times at the end of Qin Dynasty and after the Chu-Han conflict, the population dropped to more than 10 million in the early Western Han Dynasty. Liu Bang was worried and came up with the idea of fining women if they did not get married at the age of fifteen.
Therefore, when it comes to the issue of early childbearing, the royal family and the people are often the most active - the former leads by example, and the latter is partly forced and partly due to their own needs.
As for wealthy noble families, the age of marriage and childbirth is generally two to three years later, or even more. After all, wealthy families do not need to worry about those small fines. At best, they can cooperate when the policy is the tightest. Who doesn't know that it is safer to give birth a few years later?
high?
Bai Tu suddenly stopped encouraging and urging marriage, which at least reduced the fertility motivation among the people by 30%, and there was no pressure from the court.
"What's going on with Mr. Hua and Pang Shangshu's plan now?" Bai Tu asked specifically.
Recently, Hua Tuo's time at the Ministry of Industry almost caught up with the time he could stay at the medical school, because Pang Tong had a plan...
This plan is related to whether Zhenqi Machine can be used on a large scale!
"What I can do has basically been done. At least in the short term, there will be no further improvements. Pang Shangshu wants to wait until the king returns to preside over the six ministries and the Privy Council to discuss this matter together."
Judging from what Hua Tuo means, the "Pan Zhenqi Refining Plan" is progressing relatively smoothly in theory, and then there is the question of whether it can be promoted in practice...
