Chapter 79 Eternal Sorcery - Foot Binding

Soon, Fan Zheng put plaster on Zhao Ji's fracture.

Looking at the fast-hardening plaster bandage, which perfectly fixed Zhao Ji's fracture, even the imperial physician Ling Chao Yuan couldn't find any faults here.

Zhao Ji solved his worries and said in a good mood at the moment: "Doctor Fan, just tell me what you want me to do. It doesn't matter even if you go to raise pigs like brother Jiu. Of course, it's best to let me go to Cuju. In the future, I will be happy." Yes, organize Cuju every day to ensure that the business of your traditional Chinese medicine hospital will prosper."

"His Royal Highness Duan Wang was joking. I hope there will be no suffering in the world, and I would rather put medicine on the shelves to create dust. The Chinese medicine hospital is a place to treat patients, and I don't want the business to be prosperous." Fan Zheng shook his head and said.

"I hope there will be no suffering in the world, and I would rather put medicine on the shelf to make dust." Hearing this, Zhao Yu, who was extremely studious, couldn't help but sigh deeply, and was once again moved by Fan Zheng's talent.

"I admire Fan Lang's benevolence as a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. However, you have healed the bone injury of the eleventh brother. It is a great achievement. Whatever you want, just say it straight, and I will not hesitate to reward you." Zhao Xuyi pointed out.

He knew what Fan Zheng's biggest heart disease was now?As soon as Fan Zheng opened his mouth, he made a final decision and gave Fan and Li a marriage, completely drawing Fan Zheng to his side.

Empress Dowager Gao naturally knew Zhao Xu's purpose, but Fan Zheng had just healed his grandson, and she was inconvenient to object, so she could only acquiesce in this matter.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but this time, Fan wants the empress dowager to pay later."

"Ok?"

Empress Dowager Gao became angry when she heard the words. She didn't expect that she had already tacitly agreed to the butler to compensate Fan Zheng.

"Then tell me, what reward do you want?" Empress Dowager Gao said coldly.

"His Royal Highness Duan Wang is free from foot disease now, and there are countless women in the world suffering from foot disease! Even if medicine is ten times more sophisticated, it will be difficult to cure." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"Here we come! The evil party is here!" Zhao Yu exclaimed in his heart, he was very familiar with this sentence, when Fan Zheng asked him to raise pigs, he started the chapter with such words.

"Women in the world suffer from foot diseases? Are you serious?" Empress Dowager Gao exclaimed. She is the empress dowager, and she is the lord of women in the world. She was shocked when she heard the words.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "That's right, if it is an accident that His Royal Highness Duan Wang's broken foot caused foot disease, and there are medical skills to cure it, but it is a man-made disaster that caused countless women's foot diseases in the world to bind their feet, even if the medical skills are ten times more refined. It is still difficult to cure foot diseases caused by foot binding."

"Foot binding?" Empress Dowager Gao was taken aback, she didn't expect that the foot disease mentioned was foot binding, she is a woman and naturally knows about women's foot binding, even some women in the palace are foot bound.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "That's right. If the feet of women in the world grow normally, they will be between six inches and three to seven inches. Six inches is already a small foot. However, regardless of the size of the feet, as long as they grow normally, they will not affect their lives. However, foot-binding is prevalent in Kaifeng today. External forces are used to wrap layers of feet, hindering the natural growth of the feet, squeezing the normal bones together, causing deformities and fractures of the feet, and making every step of the bound women feel like torture. It is only for one purpose. — Three-inch golden lotus!"

Although everyone present had never experienced the pain of footbinding, just listening to Fan Zheng's words, they couldn't help but feel their hairs stand on end.

"You said the three-inch golden lotus is a foot disease?" Empress Dowager Gao asked with a strange expression.

Fan Zheng nodded heavily and said: "Now that all the imperial doctors are here, the Empress Dowager can inquire personally. The feet that could have grown at least six inches have been squeezed to three inches. They can't run. They need to be supported when walking. The bones are dislocated and deformed. , Can such a foot be called a foot disease?"

At the moment, Empress Dowager Gao glanced at the imperial physicians, all of whom were silent. After all, Zhao Ji was accidentally injured and a slight dislocation of bones may cause foot disease, not to mention this kind of cracked bones, which is simply a foot disease among foot diseases.

Chao Yuan refused to accept it: "Foot binding is indeed called a foot disease from the medical point of view, but it is a social custom, and it is done by women voluntarily, and doctors can't do anything about it."

"Voluntary?" Fan Zheng sneered, "Fan has never heard of a normal person who is willing to self-mutilate. It is not caused by secular prejudice and unhealthy trends."

"Fan Langzhong can't reject foot-bound women all over the world just because of his own views. I heard that the traditional Chinese medicine hospital defines foot-bound women as disabled. This is probably a prejudice." Chao Yuan sneered.

"Hahaha! Now I finally know why medical skills have stagnated. It is because of quack doctors like you." Fan Zheng laughed angrily.

"The doctor hangs the pot to help the world, and the imperial physician, as the leader of the world's doctors, turns a blind eye to the harm of marriage between close relatives, and now he protects the unhealthy trend of foot binding, and sits and watches the world's women artificially disabled. Is this how Mr. Chao carries out the idea of ​​hanging the pot to help the world?" Fan Fan Zheng asked repeatedly.

"Fan Zheng, don't spout blood! Foot-binding has existed since ancient times, and it's not the fault of doctors." Chao Yuan blushed and said angrily.

Fan Zheng sneered and said: "Foot binding has existed since ancient times, but it was all caused by women to invite pets, and the number of people was very small. It is really rumored that foot binding among the people began in the Sui Dynasty. It is said that Emperor Yang of Sui dug the Grand Canal, and there were not enough men. In order to avoid hard labor, women all over the world have bound their feet and mutilated themselves to avoid hard labor. This is one of the evidences of foot disease."

Zhao Xu nodded. As an emperor, he must be proficient in history books and use history as a mirror. The tyrant Emperor Sui Yang was a frequent visitor who was often used by important ministers to flog corpses, so he naturally knew this record.

"However, the real recorded foot-binding began with the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Mi Niang, a dancer who was very beautiful and talented in singing and dancing. Empress Li specially made a six-foot-tall golden lotus, decorated with jeweled silk ribbons, and ordered Mi Niang to The feet are wrapped in silk, making them slender and bent upwards into a crescent shape. Now this trend has spread from the palace to the common people, and footbinding has become a symbol of the status of high-class women. As a result, the number of footbinding has skyrocketed. If it is not stopped in time, it will become a prairie fire. Power, poisoning the women of the world." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"Fan Langzhong, you are too alarmist.

However, Chao Yuan looked disapproving. After all, it was only a small number of people who bound their feet, and they were all voluntary, so it has nothing to do with doctors.

Fan Zheng said in a low voice: "Caomin knows a woman who is arrogant but cute, knowledgeable but dares to break through the world, born in a scholarly family and talented but does not dislike Caomin as a doctor..."

Everyone couldn't help sighing, who was Fan Zheng talking about?Now the love between Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao is well known to the world. According to the common sense that Fan and Li are so in love, Li's father, even a hard-hearted man, should also be moved to make them perfect. However, there is still no hope for their marriage.

Empress Dowager Gao sighed inwardly, the impasse between Fan Zheng and Li had a lot to do with her. She had just decided that as long as Fan Zheng opened his mouth, she would agree to give them a marriage.

"However, such a strange woman voluntarily binds her feet because of secular prejudice and family pressure. She said that all men in the world love three-inch golden lotuses, and that all the noble girls in Bianjing City bind their feet. This is the trend of the upper class." Fan Zheng continue.

Even Empress Dowager Gao nodded slightly, which was the reason why she didn't want to take care of this matter.

"Some people may say that the grassroots are meddling in their own business, but in the eyes of doctors, footbinding is more harmful than kissing. The king of Chu has a thin waist, and many people starved to death in the palace. Now the wind of footbinding has spread from the palace. When it comes to high-class women, even the most extraordinary woman in the ages will be affected, not to mention ordinary women. In time, the wind of foot-binding will spread to women all over the world. Now Song Dynasty is already poor and weak. If you lose half of the women labor force…….”

Empress Dowager Gao was startled suddenly, gasped, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Marriage of close relatives is rare after all, and footbinding can endanger women all over the world. Even if there are women from ordinary families who do not bind their feet, it may not become popular in a short time. However, Empress Dowager Gao dare not bet. The wind and rain are precarious, let alone losing half of the labor force, even losing [-]% of the labor force is a fatal blow to Da Song.

Fan Zheng bowed and said: "The "Huang Di Nei Jing" says: If the disease is not cured and the disease is not cured, if the legacy of foot binding is allowed to wreak havoc, women in the world will be in danger, and the Song Dynasty will be in danger. Please also ask the Empress Dowager to order a ban on foot binding. The consultation fee that the grassroots need to pay."

"Medical skills!"

Everyone in the palace couldn't help sighing, and looked at Fan Zheng solemnly. It is said that the evil doctor Fan Zheng loves to prescribe evil prescriptions, but they don't know that Fan Zheng's medical skills are the skills to heal thousands of people, whether it is the method of plaster cast, or today's statement As for the harm of foot binding, what he wanted was not to save one person, but to save tens of thousands of people.
