The next day, the imperial meeting in the Wenhua Palace was held again to continue yesterday's discussion.
The civil servants headed by Chief Assistant He Fengsheng all had serious expressions. It was obvious that they must have something on their mind.
After the civil servants saw the courtesy, Emperor Chongzhen asked: "My lords, do you have any ideas on how to increase the population of our Ming Dynasty?"
Hearing this, all the civil servants were speechless. He Fengsheng hesitated for a moment and went out to report: "Your Majesty, it is not a good thing to destroy the seedlings, let alone others. The old minister thought that this matter can only be allowed to take its course.
As long as the country is strong, the people are healthy, and there are no worries about war, the population of our Ming Dynasty will naturally grow!"
At this time in ancient times, the emphasis was on having more children and more blessings, and there was no such thing as contraception except in the land of romance. Therefore, He Fengsheng and others could not think of anything else that could be improved.
In other words, there was no precedent for this matter before this time.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The discussion with Liu Weichao was not wrong. Confucianism actually has many flaws, at least in terms of practical management of the world. Fortunately, I was able to contact Liu Weichao and obtain the Physics of Physics, so that I could make up for the flaws of Confucianism.
With this in mind, Emperor Chongzhen said with a serious expression: "Since you can't tell me anything, I can tell you that there is actually another branch of Physics, which is demography.
Listen up!"
Demography? Everyone in the Wenhua Hall was stunned when they heard this word. This investigation of things, the investigation of all things in the world, actually also includes the investigation of people?
For a moment, they were all a little curious and wanted to know what the so-called demography was like.
Even the eunuchs headed by Wang Chengen suddenly thought, is it possible for the emperor to let them grow that treasure again? This is also a good way to boost the population!
Although I find it a bit weird, since Emperor Taizu can manifest his spirit, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he can’t grow a baby again, right?
As a result, all these civil servants, including the eunuchs, all listened respectfully.
Emperor Chongzhen said to them with a serious expression: "Since you are so high in the temple, you probably don't know much about the fertility situation among the people. Then I will tell you. There are two main factors that trouble the population growth of the Ming Dynasty!"
At this point, he paused, then stretched out a finger and continued: "First, it is for the woman to give birth. For the woman, this is the gate of hell! If she is not careful, the woman will die.
, either the woman dies or the child is gone, or both the woman and the child are gone.”
Dystocia has always been a problem that troubled ancient people. Everyone in the Wenhua Hall had experienced or heard about it. When Emperor Chongzhen mentioned this, they all nodded subconsciously.
However, although they are aware of this problem, they really don't have much research on this aspect of childbirth. The most they can do is find a better stable mother, but this cannot guarantee a smooth delivery. Not to mention, an experienced stable mother,
It's actually very limited.
Is it to add more experienced Wen Pos? But the Wen Po’s craftsmanship is the basis for Wen Po’s livelihood, and it is impossible for them to teach others and lose their own jobs!
Ni Yuanlu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, even knew that there was Wen Po in the capital and went to the Patent Office. It seemed that she wanted to apply for a patent for her ancestral skills and let the court protect her ancestral skills!
In short, there are all kinds of things going on at the Patent Office, and it's very chaotic.
While these civil servants and eunuchs were thinking, Emperor Chongzhen extended a second finger and continued: "Second, there are many infants and young children dying, which is also a key factor affecting the population growth of the Ming Dynasty. Do you think so?"
Even if the royal family is the first in the world, it is still not easy to guarantee that the babies born will reach adulthood smoothly. Even in the past, it can be said that the mortality rate was still very high. There is one factor in the so-called more children and more blessings.
, in fact, only by having more children can we ensure a sufficient survival rate of offspring.
At this time, upon hearing Emperor Chongzhen's words, Wang Chengen immediately reported: "Thanks to Long Live Lord for discovering the method of vaccination to prevent smallpox, I don't know how many people in the Ming Dynasty were spared from death. This is really a blessing to all people in the world."
!”
Although he is suspected of being a flatterer, what he said is an undoubted fact.
When other civil servants heard this, they all agreed sincerely. This is definitely a good thing for thousands of families to have Buddhas, and it has nothing to do with the emperor's identity.
If Emperor Chongzhen had not proposed vaccination to solve the incurable disease of smallpox, then if a person got it, it would really depend on fate. And the most critical issue was that smallpox was easily contagious. Anyone who didn't get it would be in danger.
After Wang Chengen mentioned this matter, He Fengsheng was not to be outdone, and continued: "There are also methods for preventing and treating pimple disease proposed by your majesty, which have minimized the harm of pimple disease in the world and saved countless lives!"
Although Emperor Chongzhen could not cure the Black Death, he popularized the formation and key transmission routes of the Black Death to the whole country, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty no longer feared the unknown of the Black Death and could treat it accordingly.
Taking measures is another thing of great merit.
Sun Chuanting listened to them talking about these things, and suddenly realized that in addition to military matters and people's livelihood, the emperor also had such profound attainments as a doctor!
At this moment, he was very emotional and felt that he had attached great importance to the study of studies. Unexpectedly, he still underestimated the power of study of studies!
Emperor Chongzhen listened to their words, and he actually felt useful in his heart. Although these knowledge came from Liu Weichao in another world, in this world, he, Emperor Chongzhen, was the one who preached, learned, and solved doubts!
But at this time, he was concerned about the population problem of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, without waiting for them to praise him or flatter him one by one, he just said lightly: "The past events are not worth mentioning. Please listen to me first about this population issue."
study!"
He said this as if solving the smallpox problem and preventing and curing the pimple disease were nothing more than a trivial matter to him, which made Liu Zongzhou and others very envious.
This is a great thing that can save countless people and benefit future generations. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably want to publicize it to the world and make everyone feel grateful.
In other words, if even one of these things was done by another emperor, his officials would definitely write a special book and praise him.
However, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to have never been like this. After doing something, that is, it was done, and then he was busy with other things, as if this matter was really not worth mentioning to him!
Thinking of this impression, these courtiers suddenly realized: perhaps, this is because the emperor knows too much, and there are too many things that can be remembered for generations, so he doesn't mind?
At this moment, they wanted to know very much, how many good things did Emperor Chongzhen have in his belly?
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen picked up a book from his imperial desk, then looked at the ministers below and said: "I wrote this book last night, called Wenpo Xue. The contents in the book are all related to
The knowledge of Wen Po also includes some care points for infants and young children. In the future, all Wen Pos in the Ming Dynasty must be familiar with the contents of this book before they can become Wen Po. A Wen Po school can also be set up in each state capital, and Zhaozhou Prefecture
Women should be safe. In this way, we can ensure the greatest safety for mothers in the Ming Dynasty."
I spent a whole night yesterday copying this book from my mobile phone. Of course, it must be the content compiled and sent by Liu Weichao. There are also pictures, which introduce in great detail the precautions for mothers before and after giving birth, as well as
Some necessary tools that can assist in a natural birth in this day and age.
There is also a small part of the content that introduces various problems that are likely to occur after a child is born.
As soon as Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
Since ancient times, when women gave birth, men were not allowed to enter. As a man, how could Emperor Chongzhen be able to produce a book on women?
However, they quickly came to their senses. This was definitely not something that the emperor himself came up with, but something that existed in the heavenly realm and was passed down to the emperor.
But, then, there is another problem!
Fairies in heaven also give birth to children?
Will it be difficult to give birth to a fairy child?
Aren’t they gods with magical powers? Even if they can give birth to children, can’t they be blessed with magical powers?
At this moment, the courtiers in the Wenhua Hall were a little confused!
What is going on?
Emperor Chongzhen's Wenpo book was first passed into the hands of Chief Assistant He Fengsheng. He hurriedly opened it and flipped through it, and found that it was not an immortal method, but some very practical measures. This was not like what would be found in the immortal world!
Is it possible that the emperor really came up with it himself?
But this is absolutely impossible!
In a daze, this Wen Po's book was passed from one minister to another, and then one minister after another had confused looks on their faces.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at their expressions from above and knew what they were thinking.
In fact, he also had a little headache.
Originally, he wanted to use Concubine Tian's name for this Wen Po's book, but if he really wanted to do this, it would benefit the country and the people and benefit future generations. Queen Zhou must also want it, as well as Yuan
Concubine, wait.
Emperor Chongzhen's head was a bit big. Although he didn't seem to care about women in front of Liu Weichao, he would also have a headache if there was a fight in the palace. In the end, he didn't care and just published the book in his own name.
never mind.
Emperor Chongzhen did not know that his decision would give him another nickname in later generations: Friend of Women!
If he had known that there would be such a nickname, I wonder if he would have regretted his original decision.
Anyway, if Liu Weichao knew about it, he would probably make fun of him about it.
