"Oh!" Realization dawned on Li Longji. "No wonder. It's not convenient for me to go there personally. The empress and Concubine Hui can take care of them. Little Bei, don't go and cause trouble. Tell the servants to be careful of the candles."
"Then, when will I be able to see my younger brother or sister?" Little Bei seemed anxious.
The others could only shake their heads in response to her question. Who knew when they would be able to see their younger brother? Even if they were preparing now, they might have to wait until the next day. There was no definite answer. As for whether Lu Zhou's economy would be affected if they went home to offer incense, nobody cared. Nobody criticized the Zhang Wang Clan duo. This was the home advantage.
"Why didn't the people offer incense when Jun 'er and Pan' er were born?" Li Longji smacked his lips and said with a hint of jealousy in his voice when he saw the little ones had gone off to study on their own.
"That's because you didn't publicize it, Your Majesty. The people in the capital can't possibly ask about the palace when they have nothing to do. If someone does, we'll have to guard against them. Why don't we publicize it the next time you have something to do, Your Majesty?"
Gao Lishi explained. At the same time, he was impressed by Xu Mingyang. He was addicted to being an official at the docks. If he were in Xu Mingyang's shoes, he would go mad with anger if he saw the people stop working for the former wives of several realms.
Li Longji sighed. "Xiao Bao and Cuckoo have to worry about the publicity. The two of them have their own plans. When they brought Zhang Zhong over, who would have thought this would happen? Now that Lu Zhou's population is increasing, why are the people who came to Lu Zhou joining in the fun? Zhang Zhong didn't do them any favors. "
Gao Lishi and Weiwei paused for a moment before he said, "It's true that he didn't do them any favors. However, once they come to Lu Zhou, they won't be able to leave Lu Zhou's Chamber of Commerce. Everyone knows that the Lu Zhou's Chamber of Commerce is backed by the Zhang Family and the Wang Family. When they work for the main family, they have to protect the main family.
Besides, he couldn't stand the praises of his neighbors. Everyone praised the Zhang Clan and the Wang Clan, and after hearing a lot, he naturally felt that they were good as well. Moreover, the way the Zhang Clan and the Wang Clan did things was truly difficult for others to find fault with. Xiao Bao had many tricks up his sleeve, but he had never schemed against any part of the Great Tang.
Moreover, Xiaobei and the other eight are the Great Tang's Patrol Inspectors that you personally appointed. When the people listen to stories, they like to hear about a certain corrupt official being dealt with. If that's the case, do you think the people of Lu Zhou will treat the Zhang Family and the Wang Family badly? "
"What about us? Am I not good enough? "Li Longji asked again.
"Yes, Your Majesty is different from the others. The people miss Your Majesty, but because Your Majesty's status is too noble and lofty, they won't think too much about other things. Xiao Bao and Cuckoo are closer to you. They revere you while they respect and love Xiao Bao and Cuckoo.
Xiao Bao and Cuckoo are actually worried that you'll lose your position, so they've been promoting you. Every issue of the newspapers all over the country has words like 'Your Majesty'. During the disaster relief, they're also using the Imperial family's name. Although the people know that many of the supplies were taken out from the warehouses of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family, they've been helping you. "
Gao Lishi chuckled and began to analyze.
"Actually, I know that too. It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable when I see that the people favor the Zhang Family and the Wang Family more than me. Winter is coming, and there aren't too many disasters this year. The Patrol Inspectors are coming out in waves, and the officials all over the country are afraid. They've done what they should do well.
The only problem is that it's man-made. They're so bold that they actually dared to attack Xiaobei and the others directly. They even wanted to scheme against the Zhang Family and the Wang Family. If possible, they planned to kill me as well. After that, they pretended that they didn't know anything. This matter isn't over yet. When I have the financial support, I'll personally fight and avenge the people of Tang. "
Li Longji suddenly remembered that the new year was coming. He realized that there weren't many disasters this year. There weren't so many droughts and floods, and there wasn't a scene of the whole family fleeing. As he spoke, he thought of the incident in Jiangnan Circuit and was furious.
In the past, Gao Lishi would have persuaded him, but now he supported him. "Your Majesty, you should really go on an expedition yourself. When Xiao Bao and Cuckoo finish fighting Duoshi, the two of them will organize the troops to support Your Majesty."
This was the reason why Gao Lishi supported him. When the time came, the Emperor would personally lead the expedition, but the choice of the general would be up to him. When it came to the deployment of troops, it would be up to him to decide who to listen to.
Li Longji understood the meaning behind his words. After thinking for a while, he finally nodded and said, "Yes, I need Cuckoo's advice. Don't let your emotions affect your decisions. Otherwise, the good men of Tang will be buried. The rain has stopped. Let's go out for a walk. I don't know when we'll come again. It's best not to have too many snow disasters this winter."
"No one can say for sure what the Heavens want. As long as there's no snow south of the Yellow River, it'll be fine. The people in the north are already used to it. I don't think they'll be able to come out immediately this time."
Gao Lishi walked out with her and talked about the trip.
"I'll be satisfied if I can come out once a year and stay outside for three months. This time, it's to build a railway. What excuse should I use next time? When we go back, there should be some roads that are open to traffic. Let's take a seat and see who can tell us. What's the prosperity of spring and autumn? Maybe Xiao Bao and Cuckoo can know. "
Li Longji clasped his hands behind his back and shook his head.
Gao Lishi echoed, "I think so. Every time the Ministry of Works, the Sinongsi Temple, and the Medical College come up with something new, the two of them are very calm and not surprised at all. Every time, they can point out what to pay attention to when using the new thing and how it can be used in other places. It's as if they already know it."
*****
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan naturally didn't know that because they weren't at home at noon, the quality of their food was very poor. When they were about 70% full, they had to say goodbye to Granny Huang and her family and go to the delivery room.
When they arrived, the first thing they felt was a wave of heat. They were all people who were advised to burn charcoal far away. Just now, they were too close to the delivery room. Not only was it hot, but there was also smoke, so they were advised to go outside to cool off.
"How is it?" Zhang Xiaobao stood outside and asked. He didn't go in, because he couldn't help much even if he went in.
"Just now, Madam Zhang made a little movement, but now she stopped. We're all waiting. Madam Wang hasn't reacted yet. Little Young Master, don't worry, there definitely won't be any problems. In the past few years, I've delivered at least three thousand children, if not ten thousand. There's a delivery job every day. The accident rate for the first child is 0.5%, and the accident rate for women who have delivered before is 0.1%, which is 0.1%. This refers to the situation in the hospital, where the accident rate is very high. There's no other way, because the medical conditions are not up to standard.
The obstetrician assured Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan that the person who was qualified to deliver the mother of the two was naturally the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department of Deyi Hospital.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded and looked at Wang Juan. Both of them knew that this was already very small. Although it couldn't be compared to their time, as long as the cause was not congenital, as long as the hospital was chosen, it was impossible for there to be any accident during delivery.
At that time, medical technology was better developed. In theory, as long as there was a need for blood and cell replacement, the mother and child could meet the requirements. There was no such thing as a mismatch because during pregnancy, the mother and child were symbiotic. What could circulate in the mother's body would also circulate in the child's body. Although the actual operation was a little difficult, no problem had been found in the theoretical argument.
But now, the death rate of 0.5% was really too small. No one in Japan or the surrounding areas would dare to believe it.
To hire a midwife with a death rate of 10% for the first child, the price was not small. Even if the death rate was only 2%, one in fifty would die. Such a probability was frightening.
"If, I mean if, there is any deviation, I ask … to save the mother." Zhang Xiaobao said this sentence with great difficulty, because once this sentence came out, if his younger brothers and sisters knew in the future, they would naturally feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
Wang Juan also nodded at the side. In case there was a need to choose, it was sad to lose a younger brother or a younger sister, but it was definitely not as bad as losing a mother. The longer people lived together, the more difficult it was to part with them. This was a kind of attachment and a kind of habit.
"Understood, I know what to do." The doctor only answered a few words, turned around and went in again, but the meaning was clearly expressed. In the future, this sentence would not be spread out.
"Let's go. Now our family is finally prosperous. Including the one we picked up later, there are a total of sixteen people. Haha, it's so lively. It's enough to open a small kindergarten."
Zhang Xiaobao walked back with his arm around Wang Juan's waist and said happily.
Wang Juan did not avoid others. She let Zhang Xiaobao put his arm around her waist, and at the same time, put her hand on Zhang Xiaobao's waist and said, "Normal people are normal and have normal health.
They can have a lot of children, but they can't raise them. Didn't the founding general also write in 'My Mother' that if too many children are born, they can only drown? It's the tragedy of the era. If they can't have children, they can't raise the children they give birth to. How sad would it be to kill a young life with one's own hands? "
"Yes, so now we're helping the Tang Empire to raise them and let them have as many children as they can. Anyway, the country is so big, we need people to live there."
Zhang Xiaobao said.
"How big is our country? Are you saying that 9.6 million square kilometers can accommodate 1.4 billion people? "Wang Juan asked.
"No, it's 1.4 billion square kilometers. When the standard of living is high and the level of education is high, the population growth will not be fast. The reason for the growth is that the lifespan is extended. As long as the social security is in place, many couples are not willing to have children.
The poorer and more backward a place is, the more children there will be. Individuals don't have many skills, so they can get fewer survival resources. When there are more children, they can naturally get more. They can't find other entertainment in their daily life, so they can only do one thing. Plus, they lack the knowledge and skills to raise children, so children are born. "
Zhang Xiaobao hugged Wang Juan and waved his hand generously. His body turned a circle, and Wang Juan turned a bigger circle.
Wang Juan, who found that she was walking more, was not willing. She also hugged Zhang Xiaobao and turned a circle. Finally, she made up for the distance and said with a smile, "Oh, you're planning to occupy the land of the Earth. In fact, people can live on the sea. It's okay if you expand the area a little."
"Oh, I forgot about that. Well, I'll let the natives of other places live on the sea in the future. I've decided. After killing Polyshi, I'll drive the natives of the northeast region to the Mediterranean Sea. Otherwise, they'll find a way to make their own boats and take them to North America."
Zhang Xiaobao waved his fist and said confidently.
