1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 312 Medical and Newborn Population

"Why hasn't the baby been born yet?" Fu Jinbiao grabbed the woman who was running outside, and asked anxiously, "It's been a long time, and the mother-in-law's voice is hoarse, is there something wrong?"

The woman threw off Fu Jinbiao's big hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "The fetal position is not right, Mrs. Ding is already dealing with it. Don't block my way!" Then, she ran towards the kitchen, ready to fetch some hot water, Wash the body of the pregnant woman.

"My mother, this is not a person who is in a hurry to die!" Fu Jinbiao looked at the room inside again, and there were waves of women's cries of pain, which made him even more restless.The two-year-old son next to him laughed and swayed behind the midwife, and also went to the kitchen behind.

The impatient Fu Jinbiao saw it, grabbed his son in his hands, patted his buttocks easily twice, and cursed: "Little bastard, your mother is fighting for her life inside to give birth to a younger brother for you. It's like nothing!"

The toddler struggled a few times, but couldn't break free. The corners of his mouth were deflated, and he began to cry.

"Don't cry!" Fu Jinbiao yelled: "Your mother is so noisy. If I had known that giving birth to a child would be so laborious, I would have sent it to the hospital in Jianye City in advance!"

After the joint attack on Luzon with the Dutch in February last year, the Han Chau marines and sailors suffered a large number of injuries.Later, they were taken back to Jianye City one after another and treated intensively.For this reason, Qitian specially arranged for people to build a hospital, and gathered most of the doctors in Hanzhou here. While treating the wounded and the people, they systematically summarized and relearned the medical skills they had learned by category.

Peng Laogui worked as a teacher and apprentice, and dozens of doctors he recruited from Ming Dynasty, as well as Wen Po, who was once invited from Batavia, all settled in this only "general hospital" in Hanzhou.According to the medical skills that all doctors are good at, they are simply divided into three categories: internal medicine, surgery and obstetrics.

In the hospital, apart from the doctors who see the patients, there are also dozens of apprentices who assist the doctors in caring for patients, decocting medicines, and bandaging wounds.

Originally, according to Qi Tian's idea, he wanted to select some women to fill the hospital as the earliest nurses in this period.But this move was not only opposed by many doctors, but no woman was willing to enter the hospital at all.

In the traditional secular view, women are yin in nature, and if they are sick or injured, they need to avoid yin and evil things as much as possible.On the other hand, caring for patients inevitably involves physical contact, which is also difficult for all the women from Daming to accept.

Qi Tian felt a little helpless about this, so he decided to do the next best thing, and he sent more than a dozen Hanzhou native women to the hospital to do some crude work.Maybe it will take a few more years for the customs of Hanzhou to gradually accept women as nurses.

Of course, it is another matter if a woman needs a stable wife to deliver the child.However, what is speechless is that although there are obstetrics and delivery rooms in the hospital, Hanzhou pregnant women often prefer to give birth at home.Moreover, when pregnant women give birth, they do not enter the hospital in advance to wait for delivery like later generations.Whether it is a pregnant woman living in the city or in a village outside the city, she always has to follow her husband to be busy with farming or housework.Only when the childbirth is about to occur, and there are problems, will I go to find a stable woman to come to deliver the child.

For this situation, as the person in charge of the hospital, Peng Laogui simply dispersed all the stable women in several counties and towns, registered all pregnant women's production cycles at the same time, and was ready to deliver babies at the mother's home at any time.

In order to improve the development of Hanzhou's medical career, Jianye Printing Workshop mimeographed a large number of various medical books collected from Daming regardless of the cost.Mainly "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", "Huangdi Neijing", "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" and other books, more than a hundred copies were mimeographed and distributed to all doctors and apprentices.

At the same time, during the ten days, the necessary medical education will be given to these few doctors and apprentices.Because from Qi Tian's point of view, the medical skills of these half-baked doctors are probably not as good as the rural doctors of later generations.

You must know that at any time, a doctor who can save people is the most scarce person in this society, especially a doctor with excellent medical skills is a figure who is unanimously admired by the princes and nobles, and even the common people.Therefore, the doctors who can be recruited by Hanzhou in Daming will not be much higher, otherwise, they will not be so downcast that they will be "abducted" to come to Hanzhou.

However, medicine is a discipline that pays great attention to the application of knowledge, and those who practice medicine can also rely on continuous accumulation of experience to improve their medical skills.As for Hanzhou's current medical level, it is natural that he does not expect to be able to train a large number of apricot masters in a short period of time, but at least he can deal with common diseases and injuries under the current conditions.

Fu Jinbiao's wife finally gave birth to a baby girl in the middle of the night, which somewhat disappointed him.If there are more boys in the family, the eldest can stay at home to cultivate the fields and inherit the family business, and the younger ones will naturally follow him into the cavalry or join the marines to make contributions.This is born without a handle, and it will not be allowed to others in the future.

However, Mrs. Ding, who delivered the baby, thought Fu Jinbiao was narrow-minded.There are few women in Hanzhou, and many women married to men in Hanzhou are native girls bought from the Nanyang Tubang Kingdom.If you want to marry a daughter-in-law of Han descent, if you have no military achievements or some status, don't think about it at all.

Fu Jinbiao's wife is a real Ming woman, and the child born to him is of the purest Han blood. When this woman grows up, many men will fight to marry her.

Fu Jinbiao couldn't help but smile when he heard this.He took out two Hanzhou silver dollars from his pocket and stuffed them to Granny Ding, thanking her repeatedly.

Granny Ding accepted the silver dollar with a smile. Although her body was exhausted, her heart felt very comfortable.Looking at the time, I can sleep for half a day when I go back.I heard that three more women are about to give birth near the northern city of Montenegro. In the next few days, I will inevitably be busy.

Since last year in Hanzhou, married women have entered a peak period of childbirth.Last year, more than 4 babies were born.This year, it is estimated that the number of babies born will double.Perhaps, in June of this year, the population of Hanzhou may reach [-].The birth of a large number of infants and young children has greatly enriched the population base of Hanzhou, but the overall maternal and child medical conditions in Hanzhou are also facing a very severe test.

When women in this period give birth, it is tantamount to walking through the gate of hell.Not a few women die every year from dystocia, postpartum complications, hemorrhage, and wound infection.Although the civil affairs and medical care of Hanzhou attach great importance to this, but limited by the current poor conditions and the backward level of obstetrics and gynecology, there are still a large number of women who die in childbirth.

However, Hanzhou has an unusual desire for the growth of Dingkou, and has provided many encouraging policies for this purpose.For every additional household in a rural household, the agricultural tax will be exempted for three years, and the repayment of various agricultural materials loans will also be suspended for three years.At the same time, for each family, the civil government will give two Hanzhou silver dollars as in-kind subsidies every year, mainly milk, eggs, fish, meat and other food, for a period of five years.

In fact, even if Hanzhou does not introduce a policy of rewarding births, the people's willingness to have children is still very high.During this period, there is a lack of necessary entertainment in the evening.What's more, compared to Daming, and even Batavia, there are almost no cultural and entertainment activities in Hanzhou.Then after dinner, it is still early to fall asleep, those bachelors needless to say, those who have women, of course, can only be locked in the room and try to make a man.

In order to better coordinate and manage the medical, sanitation, and epidemic prevention work under its jurisdiction, the civil government has added a new department, the Medical Affairs Office.Mainly responsible for Hanzhou medical treatment, immigration epidemic prevention, infectious disease prevention and isolation, smallpox vaccination and other health matters; and the management of related matters in local health centers and township doctors.

The Department of Medical Affairs and the Department of Culture and Education jointly set up education majors such as medicine, midwifery, and nursing to plan and promote Hanzhou medical education.Under the Hanzhou military government, a military medical office was set up to promote the establishment and training of military doctors accompanying the navy ships and marines, so as to reduce battlefield casualties as much as possible.

Although various medical systems in Hanzhou have initially been established, they cannot meet the needs of all citizens to receive medical treatment.There are too few doctors available, and even Chinese herbal medicines are very scarce.

Although a medical school was established in Jianye City and more than 80 first batch of students were recruited, the professor's teacher was a half-baked doctor in the hospital.All the teachers and students are studying and exploring various medical books together.

In view of this situation, the military and civil affairs of Hanzhou, in addition to increasing the number of imported Daming women, also made doctors in various disciplines the focus of their collection for the later immigration categories.

In addition to consolidating and strengthening Hanzhou's fragile medical conditions, the most important thing is to comprehensively improve the disease prevention and treatment level of Hanzhou people, and try to avoid chronic diseases and serious diseases caused by people's unhealthy hygiene habits.

In addition to cleaning and segregating the newly arrived immigrants for more than ten days, each of them must be vaccinated against smallpox in order to comprehensively prevent the epidemic of smallpox in Hanzhou.For other behaviors such as garbage cleaning, excrement into the pool, and the prohibition of drinking wild water sources at will, and the promotion of drinking boiled water, local governments are also strengthening control and guidance.However, all kinds of bad habits developed in Daming will still exist among the immigrant groups more or less, and some cannot be banned.

Perhaps, only after many years of continuous education and subtle habits can the unhygienic behavior of Hanzhou immigrants be slightly changed.After all, at present, and even in the next few years, they can continue to fill their stomachs, obtain a piece of land of their own, and have a bunch of children who can continue their blood. This is their biggest goal, and they will work hard for it.
