Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

Kalemi couldn't wait to answer: "Of course I remember! You told us a story that day about how Lin's ancestors cleverly built a waterwheel. In the story, the waterwheel was damaged fifty years later, and the farmers were worried about finding it. They were helpless without replacement parts, so they asked Lin for help. Lin told them that they would be able to find spare parts near the waterwheel. After searching hard, they finally found one wrapped tightly in oil paper. The solid packet contained exactly the parts they desperately needed, and it was shiny with metal. Finally, they successfully repaired the waterwheel. "

The more he talked, the more excited he became, "This story teaches us that no matter what we do, we should be rigorous, serious and responsible like Lin's ancestors!"

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng applauded and said with a smile: "That's so well said! It seems that you have really taken what you learned to heart. This story is indeed worthy of being passed down from generation to generation."

"Yes! We will keep Lin's teachings in mind and never forget them!" Kalemi and Eric's voices echoed through the sky.

Lu Sinan had been silent on the side, and now he suddenly said: "Actually, you did miss some content. I tried to find you to make up for this lesson, but unfortunately I couldn't find it."

However, the so-called "missed lesson" did not actually exist, it was just made up to make them feel at ease. Lin Xiaofeng had already tutored Kalemi and the others on this part in private, but Fobole and the two were unaware of all this.

Lu Sinan's words were like thunder on the ground to both Fu Bole and Fu Bole. If they really missed important content, they felt deeply regretful and tears welled up in their eyes.

In this strange country, their life or death is uncertain, and the way home is out of reach. In Ferrero, they are just low-level people forgotten by society, living in confusion every day; but here, they are treated as real people, and are even respectfully called "Jinyiwei".

The sudden fear made them want to escape, but Lu Sinan calmly blocked their way.

When Li Dexian saw this scene, he was filled with doubts. He didn't understand why these Ferreroese were so afraid, as if going home would be like a punishment to them.

Fo Bole begged with tears in his eyes: "Master Lin, we don't want to go to that place."

Lin Xiaofeng's face suddenly became serious: "There is an old saying in Jingjiang: 'He who knows the current affairs is a hero.' Since you have made a promise, you should keep it. You are now a member of the Jin Yiwei, how can you be so easy What about disobeying orders?"

He paused and continued: "You are not from Jingjiang, and your current performance is really difficult to serve as our translator and guide. In my opinion, I'd better send you home!"

Upon hearing this, their eyes revealed deep despair, and their bodies seemed to have lost all strength.

But Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly, leaving them with a glimmer of hope: "However, you can think about it. This trip to sea represents the glory and dignity of Jin Yiwei, doesn't it?"

He told them frankly: "To tell you the truth, although you are now a member of the Jinyiwei, you are not really a Jingjiang person because you do not have a Jingjiang household registration. It may take Kalemi and the others more than ten years to Obtain the household registration of Jingjiang. If you return successfully from this mission, you can directly become a real Jingjiang person, and you may even become an official."

These words relieved their mood a little.

Lin Xiaofeng continued to ask: "So, what do you like about our Jingjiang?"

They lowered their heads and replied in a low voice: "Of course I like the stable life here."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Life in Kyoto is indeed very beautiful, but what you see is only the surface. The reason why the people of Jingjiang can live a stable life is because we all have a heart of equality and fraternity." . Our officials all believe that they have the responsibility to serve the world and the people, and the people also believe that they can change their destiny through unremitting efforts."

He changed the subject: "Here, everyone can prosper with their own determination, hard work and creativity, rather than relying on charity from others."

They raised their heads and listened carefully, for fear of missing a word.

Lin Xiaofeng continued: "We, the people of Jingjiang, do not believe in ghosts and gods, but only believe in the principle that man can conquer nature. Now you are shouldering an important task, to help our fleet spread ideas to all parts of the world, so that everyone can live a better life happy life."

“If your mission is successful,” he said excitedly, “you will become pioneers, thinkers, and historical pioneers! From the moment you step on this ship, you will already be from Jingjiang. The court and the people will be proud of you!"

They were very excited after hearing these words, and Kalemi's faces also showed a look of yearning. It was as if he saw the glorious and beautiful future after he became a Jingjiang native.

Lin Xiaofeng pointed at the sailors who were boarding the ship and said: "Look at our soldiers in Jingjiang! Don't they know the wind, rain and dangers at sea? Don't they miss their families? Don't they want to enjoy a comfortable life? ?”

"But they chose to go to sea without any complaints," he said affectionately, "because this is a great ideal driving them forward! This is a noble cause that benefits the people! This is what a qualified Jingjiang person does. The qualities you should possess! Don’t you want to be such a person?”

"I want to be such a person!" Fu Bole suddenly raised his hand and said loudly, "I was too shallow before and didn't realize this. I am willing to carry out this mission!"

"Then I'm willing to go too." Kalemi also expressed her determination in a low voice.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled with satisfaction: "Very good! It seems that you are all enlightened and ideal people, so don't hesitate anymore and get on the boat! I guarantee that Jingjiang's country will always be open to you!"

They nodded solemnly, with firm light shining in their eyes, and a heavy, radiant responsibility in their hearts!
Seeing that the time was right, Lu Sinan urged them to get on the boat quickly. At this time, the sailors had already boarded the ship one after another, and the preparations before going to sea were about to be completed. Zhong Anchun came up from a high place, saluted the prince and Lin Xiaofeng first, and then said goodbye to them. Lin Xiaofeng specifically asked him to treat these two people well and gave them a pair of sunglasses to protect their eyes from the strong light of the sea. Finally, he was asked to pay attention to information such as special equipment or seeds overseas. Zhong Anchun agreed and left.

････････････････････････････････
The fleet has been out to sea for a long time, but has not returned yet. Now, light snow has fallen, and winter has arrived. Lin Xiaofeng specifically asked for leave from his work unit and chose to stay at the Princess Mansion with his wife Li Hanmiao, who was pregnant with Liujia.

The princess's belly bulged high, like a hill. I asked a professional and found out that she was about to give birth. Lin Xiaofeng took good care of her, as if the whole world was temporarily put aside except for her. Fortunately, the emperor was considerate of him and readily approved every time he asked for leave.

In this cold winter, the princess was reclining on the big sofa - it was specially customized for her by Lin Xiaofeng. She gently caressed her round pregnant belly with one hand, and rested her head on Lin Xiaofeng's shoulder. Although she is still picturesque, there is a bit more mature charm between her eyebrows.

Lin Xiaofeng hugged the princess and looked into the distance, feeling filled with emotion. The child is about to be born and he is going to be a father. This was the first time in his two lives.

Speaking of which, in his previous life, he was so busy working that he had no time to take care of his family, let alone learn about prenatal education. Now he has forgotten all about it. What worries him even more now is that the medical conditions in this era are really embarrassing. In his previous life, he had read some information on the Internet, which said that the chance of royal children dying in infancy was almost one-third, and the mortality rate of women giving birth to children with dystocia was also frighteningly high.

Even though they have top-notch medical resources, the one-third premature death rate is still frightening. They have the miracle drug penicillin, but they still feel it’s not enough. If something unexpected happened and the child was gone, it would be fine. As long as the princess was in good health, he would be really distressed.

Therefore, Lin Xiaofeng specially asked people from the Patriarch Association to spend a lot of money to find experienced Wen Po from the private sector. These stable women are experienced in many battles and have first-class reputation. Although the traditional Wen Po experience may not be completely trustworthy, he still asked Wang Yan's grandson to teach them some physiological knowledge and improve their delivery skills.

At the same time, he also sent people to find pregnant monkeys for research. He felt that monkeys were quite similar to humans, and maybe they could learn something. However, there has been no news from the Patriarch Association, and it seems that the progress is not good.

But Lin Xiaofeng never fights an unprepared battle. Since it's too late to improvise, let's start the second plan. So he invited a Bodhisattva statue back from a famous temple in Kyoto. Now this Bodhisattva is placed in the room, looking at him with a smile. He silently prayed in his heart: "Bodhisattva bless you." If everything goes well, he is willing to reshape the Bodhisattva into a golden body.

The princess looked at him and asked curiously: "Husband, don't you believe in Buddhism? Why are you always staring at the Bodhisattva statue in a daze recently?" Lin Xiaofeng replied: "I do this for you and the child. With the blessing of the Bodhisattva, you will have a child. Everything will go smoothly. If you make any mistake, I will make all the temples in the city deprived of incense." The princess muttered to him pretending to be angry and reached out to cover his mouth. Lin Xiaofeng quickly added: "Bodhisattva, I'm not talking about you."

The princess asked another question: "Husband, do you want our child to be a boy or a girl?" While they were chatting, the maid suddenly ran over and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" Li Dexian had already strode in, holding a with gifts. "Hanmiao, I brought you some supplements." Li Dexian directly explained his purpose. Seeing the two of them together, he smiled and said, "Why don't you let me know what you two are whispering about? Hanmiao, how are you doing recently?" The princess yawned: "We were just talking about having a boy. About giving birth to a girl. I’m in good health, but I’m always sleepy and dizzy.”

"Are you sleepy again? Go and take a rest!" Lin Xiaofeng quickly helped the princess into the back room.

Li Dexian casually put the gift on the table, then leaned on the sofa skillfully and sat down comfortably. After Lin Xiaofeng came out, he asked: "Old Lin, guess what, will my child be a boy or a girl?"

"I'm not guessing, I can't guess it." Lin Xiaofeng replied.

"You are so boring! My child must be a boy. My father has been waiting for a grandson for so many years, and this year he will definitely get his wish."

"How do you know? What if I give birth to a girl?"

Li Dexian whispered: "I have used a microscope to observe my sperm. They are all very strong. I will definitely give birth to a boy! Besides, all the civil and military officials are staring at me. How embarrassing it would be for me to give birth to a girl! Don't be so talkative." ! Oh, Bodhisattva bless you!”

"..."

"Then do you think Hanmiao will give birth to a boy or a girl?"

Lin Xiaofeng thought for a while and shrugged: "It doesn't matter, I actually don't care about these things."

"Old Lin, you are still a man! You don't care about such things. Who will inherit your legacy if you give birth to a girl? And she will have to get married in the future."

Li Dexian was a little anxious, "You can go to the doctor and ask if he has taken any medicine that can give birth to a boy."

"Forget it, these are all false. It's the same for boys and girls!" Lin Xiaofeng said with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Regarding the issue of having a boy or a girl, he really didn't think much about it before. Now that Li Dexian mentioned it, he started to think about it. Of course, it would be best to give birth to a boy. He would be born into a second generation of rich people and would be able to have three wives and four concubines in the future. If your family is rich, your life will definitely be comfortable. But what if it’s a girl? In this world, girls are more difficult to get along with than boys. Although he can support her for a lifetime, she will still have to get married sooner or later. When he thought that the daughter he had worked so hard to raise would marry a man who could have three wives and four concubines in the future, he felt very unwilling to do so! If he really wanted to marry that kind of man, he would definitely want to castrate that man!

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and said, "Have a boy! You must have a boy!"

"Tch, that's nice to say. It's the same for both boys and girls, so why do you still want a boy now? Old Lin, I think Hanmiao is about to give birth. Let her go to the palace to recuperate quickly. There is the best stable mother-in-law in the palace. When you help her deliver the baby, you must make sure everything is safe! You will lose half your life when giving birth, so don’t be careless!”

"I won't rush you. Father will come to urge you in two days." Lin Xiaofeng shook his head. The stable woman in the palace? He had already inquired about it, and it was said that he was also a master recruited from the private sector.

But how could there be so many people in the palace to deliver babies? I'm afraid their craftsmanship has already fallen out of the top ranks, right? It is more reliable to find a private stable woman by yourself! Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, they are either delivering babies or on their way to deliver babies!

"Your Highness, thank you for your kindness. But I have found the best stable woman, so I won't bother the palace with this matter." Seeing his resolute attitude, Li Dexian had no choice but to sigh: "Okay Well, just be careful. My eyelids have been twitching lately, and I’m always panicking.”

"Don't talk nonsense! The Bodhisattva is still here watching!"

The two sat in silence for a while, with a little worry on their faces. They were all novices. Faced with such a situation, they felt a little unsure and worried about what would happen if something went wrong.

Lin Xiaofeng felt the depression in the air, so he tried to adjust the atmosphere. He chuckled and joked: "Your Highness, when you come today, you won't just give me a gift, right? This kind of thing is not usually done by palace officials. Did you do it?”

Li Dexian raised his head and responded: "If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot. You didn't go to court today. I heard that news came from the border. Mongolia has moved its capital, changed its country's name, and sent envoys to deliver credentials. ”

"Oh? This is a big deal. What is their new country name?" Lin Xiaofeng asked curiously.

"The name of the country was changed to Xixia. The name is quite interesting. However, there is something even more interesting. I heard that on the border, in addition to buying daily necessities, the Mongolians buy the most books!" Li Dexian replied.

"Xixia Kingdom? This name sounds familiar." Lin Xiaofeng was thoughtful, and then asked doubtfully, "Do they also like to buy books? What kind of books do they buy?"

It is really curious why Mongolia imports a large number of books. These books are neither food nor weapons.

"It's quite interesting to say that they are books that we scholars often read. In addition, they changed the country's name. Do they want to imitate us?" Li Dexian asked, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Lin Xiaofeng laughed when he heard this: "This is not impossible. I remember Wu Rige is a cunning and open-minded person. He is very interested in our Jingjiang things. If he made suggestions in front of the Xixia Emperor, this kind of thing would not be enough. Strange."

Li Dexian also smiled and said: "Yes, they may not know that we have artillery and guns, and that we have heavenly soldiers and generals in the sky. After a few years, our weapons and equipment will be available to the entire army, and the cavalry they are proud of will no longer be afraid." "

When it came to equipping the entire army, Lin Xiaofeng sighed: "But muskets and artillery are indeed very expensive. I heard that the Shenji Battalion has not yet been equipped with all the equipment. The Ministry of War has reported the shortage of funds to my father. I don't know when the cost will come down." ”

"If everyone in the army could be equipped with two muskets and two short guns, the scene would be spectacular." Lin Xiaofeng nodded silently, but the equipment of the entire army still seemed out of reach.

"To reduce costs, the best way is to relax restrictions on businessmen and allow private resources to circulate freely." Lin Xiaofeng suggested.

Li Dexian frowned and said: "I'm afraid this will be difficult to achieve. Although I support you now, there have been restrictions on businessmen since ancient times. I am afraid that neither the emperor nor the civil and military officials will agree."

Lin Xiaofeng nodded to express his understanding: "It is indeed not easy, but this must be done." He knew in his heart that regardless of the cost issue, the age of great navigation was coming, and now was the best time to cultivate private businessmen.

"Why does the court want to restrict merchants?" Lin Xiaofeng suddenly asked.

Li Dexian thought for a while and replied: "Businessmen value profits, have no fixed abode, are greedy for comfort, and hate labor. However, I don't completely agree with the point of being greedy for comfort. The merchants in North Langfang are very diligent."

Lin Xiaofeng answered: "Your Highness is right, but these are just superficial words. There is only one real reason why the imperial court restricts merchants, and that is the difficulty of collecting taxes."

Li Dexian thought for a moment and felt that what Lin Xiaofeng said made sense: "But do you have a way to successfully collect taxes from businessmen?"

Lin Xiaofeng shook his head: "Not yet, but I think taxation is only a small part of the problem. Now that the food harvest is abundant and manpower has been released, although it cannot be fully taxed, the situation will be much better than before."

He paused and continued: "The key problem is that people are not doing business smoothly, and the court has too many restrictions. They range from being unable to move freely to officials taking advantage of their positions to extort and rob. People cannot circumvent these restrictions, but court officials can. Taking advantage of one's position to amass wealth is tantamount to competing with the country and the people."

Li Dexian nodded in agreement that he knew the situation in Beilangfang very well. Although it is prosperous now, the real big business has more or less background.

"So we need to lift the shackles on businessmen and restore their dignity so that they can operate with peace of mind. Then they can develop resources to compete with each other. This will not only create thermal weapons, but also benefit people all over the world and potentially reduce all costs." Lin Xiaofeng He continued, "Not only that, competition will also produce many new products and ideas, which will help the country. Now progress can only be made by the court giving in to the people."

Li Dexian said with a solemn expression: "You say it lightly, but how can we get the court to relax control? This is not possible in the first place, right?"

Lin Xiaofeng sighed: "I don't know for sure. But if we start from the Ministry of Household Affairs, there may be a glimmer of hope. Since I took over as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, I have been cracking down on illegal exploitation and the bullying of the people by officials and businessmen. It is estimated that there are many people in the court. Dissatisfied with me."

He paused and continued: "However, the tax revenue of the Ministry of Revenue in Kyoto should be increased. After all, there are various ways for officials and businessmen to avoid tax, while ordinary people are more honest! If the Ministry of Revenue is willing to cooperate, then I would like to ask your Majesty for two things: The first is to relax controls on businessmen; the second is to expand the scope of Jinyiwei’s external supervision to combat illegal activities.”

Li Dexian sighed: "Of course I will fully support you, but I still feel that there is little hope. Tax evasion is a common practice and moral corruption. This alone is enough to negate all efforts."

"Yes, but you have to eat the food one bite at a time. I will first try to let His Majesty choose a pilot area. As long as the pilot is successful, the follow-up matters will be easy to handle." Lin Xiaofeng said.

Li Dexian asked hesitantly: "If there are no restrictions on businessmen, will there be a hugely influential businessman who monopolizes the entire industry and affects the court?"

Lin Xiaofeng expressed his appreciation for Li Dexian's keen insight: "Your Highness does not have no restrictions at all, he just relaxed some restrictions. And as long as the businessmen monopolize the entire industry by legitimate means, the court has no reason to suppress them. Unless they use their status advantages to maliciously suppress their peers . Otherwise, they will take advantage of their scale to continuously lower prices and drive all competitors out of the market. This is a true monopoly.”

He smiled and continued: "If there are really huge businessmen, it will be more convenient for us to tax them and they will have nowhere to escape! Of course, it is not impossible for prices to rise after a monopoly. Only with the support of power can we do it unscrupulously. Do this. But don’t forget that businessmen have never been known to cause trouble.”

···································
After seven days, Li Hanmiao's physical condition became worse and worse. Wen Po noticed severe pain in her abdomen and rushed her to Yangqu Medical Center. The medical center has arranged the wards according to Lin Xiaofeng's instructions and stopped accepting patients a few days in advance. The area is guarded by Jinyi guards. At this moment, Li Hanmiao had entered the ward, and Lin Xiaofeng was walking around anxiously outside. He kept knocking on the door and asked, "Why is there no sound?"

A stable woman walked out of the room and said with a sneer: "Sir, the baby hasn't started yet, so it's natural to be silent."

"Look, don't wait here. Go and wait outside. This is unlucky."

Lin Xiaofeng glared and said, "What's so unlucky! Don't do that to me. How is the princess?"

"It's coming, it's coming, please be safe, sir." Po Wen comforted her. "Hurry back and watch, Bao Da! Bao Da!"

"I understand, sir." After Po Wen entered the house, Lin Xiaofeng sat against the door and sighed. Thinking about the possibility of death in childbirth, he felt very nervous.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yansun said: "Master, please don't sit at the door. It has just been disinfected." Lin Xiaofeng stood up silently and returned to Wang Yansun's side. "Sir, don't worry, the stable women here are very experienced. I did a survey when we recruited ordinary people, and there are three or four cases of dystocia among ordinary people, but they can at least increase the success rate by 10 to 20%!"

Lin Xiaofeng's heart suddenly twitched and she glared at Wang Yansun.

An improvement of 10% or 20% is already a huge improvement, so he asked: "How did it increase so high?"

"It's easy for me to say. In the past, folk women never sterilized their babies when delivering babies. They only used a large amount of hot water for simple treatment. Just washing hands and disinfecting with alcohol can greatly reduce the risk." Lin Xiaofeng suddenly realized.

Wang Yansun continued: "Besides, these stable women all have unique skills!"

"What's the trick? Lin Xiaofeng's eyes lit up. Hearing the trick gave people a feeling of certainty. "When a woman has a difficult delivery, most of the time the fetus is not in the right position. Wen Po can break the baby's clavicle and take it out. But mother and son are safe. However, this is also very extreme and testing, and the method is not very stable. "Broken the clavicle and then took it out? Lin Xiaofeng was dumbfounded when he heard such a cruel method. "Isn't there forceps? Why is it so bloody? "

"What is forceps?" Wang Yansun asked. Seeing his confused look, Lin Xiaofeng was also confused. In his mind, the forceps was not a high-tech product and should have been available for a long time. But seeing Wang Yansun's expression of ignorance, could it be that his memory was confused? "It's like a pair of scissors but with an oval ring at the front that can clamp a child's head and pull it out. Haven't you seen it?" Lin Xiaofeng made a gesture with his hand. Wang Yansun was deep in thought and shook his head and murmured: "I haven't seen it before, but it still sounds very reasonable. It seems possible." Seeing him thinking about it again, Lin Xiaofeng felt annoyed. Bai Mi Yi Shu prepared for so long but still forgot something. It would be a good thing to have more protection, but I don't have time to prepare now and I can only hope that everything goes well. Wang Yansun was still gesticulating in the void with half-closed eyes and hands holding scissors. After comparing for more than ten minutes, he nodded and said: "Master, this is really a good idea. When Po Wen comes out, I will study it with them and maybe it can save a lot of lives." Lin Xiaofeng nodded unconsciously. He was currently focused on the ward. I was so nervous that I had no energy to think about other issues. It would be great if you had a mobile phone. You could call the king and relax. Wang Yansun said again, "Sir, do you still remember that piece of jade? Are you going to ignore it now that it is still buried in the courtyard of the hospital?"

"What jade?" Lin Xiaofeng asked irritably. "That piece of jade that has killed many people has been in the newspapers and there are rumors that there is a ghost in that piece of jade. When I looked carefully, I felt that this was the first time I had seen some magical and glowing jade."

"Master, I don't believe in ghosts, but those who died because of jade are too strange. There is no reasonable explanation now. Do you know anything about letting us bury it?"

"That stone is poisonous and will make you sick if you touch it for a long time. It has nothing to do with ghosts. If you encounter that kind of stone in the future, stay away. By the way, how deep did you bury that piece of jade?"

"About two feet deep." Lin Xiaofeng thought that two feet is deep enough. Just a small accessory should not have any impact. "When this is over, you go find some craftsmen to make a lead box specifically to hold that piece of poisonous jade. The walls of the box must be so thick. Put it in the medical center and cover it with glass so that no one can take it at will."

Lin Xiaofeng compared the thickness of about three to four centimeters with his hands. He didn't know much about these things, and he only had unreliable knowledge from movies and TV shows, but he couldn't go wrong by wrapping it with lead. Suddenly there was a painful groan in the ward.

Lin Xiaofeng felt tense all over and did not dare to think any more and stare at the door seriously. Now I can't do anything to help, I can only worry. This feeling of powerlessness is really uncomfortable. I don't know how long the sound in the ward has been intermittently. Lin Xiaofeng was already sweating profusely and worried. I wanted to go up and knock on the door and ask, but I was afraid of disturbing Po Wen. In the end, I couldn't help but asked loudly at the door. Lin Xiaofeng felt a little relieved when he heard that it was still normal. But at this moment, several figures appeared on the stairs, headed by none other than Emperor Jingjiang!

Li Dexian couldn't wait to rush out from behind him and ran quickly to Lin Xiaofeng and asked anxiously: "How is Lao Lin?"

When Lin Xiaofeng saw Emperor Jingjiang coming, he forced a smile and said, "I have met His Majesty under normal circumstances." Emperor Jingjiang looked calmly and looked at the ward with worry in his eyes. He knew better than others the dangers of giving birth to women, and several concubines in the palace had lost their lives due to difficult childbirth. But there's no point in hurrying. "Don't rush into labor."

The sky gradually darkened, and the surroundings were shrouded in twilight. The lights on the two-story building were as bright as stars, bringing light to the dark night. In the delivery room, the shouts of the mother and the encouragement of the mother-in-law kept coming and going, which made people worried. The family members paced anxiously outside the delivery room, but there was nothing they could do. Suddenly, a loud baby cry broke through the silent night, bringing endless joy to people. Lin Xiaofeng and Jingjiang Emperor Li Dexian looked at each other and saw unconcealable joy in each other's eyes. The baby was born safely!

Po Wen walked out with a happy face, and Lin Xiaofeng eagerly greeted her. Po Wen comforted him with a smile: "Mr. Lin, don't worry, mother and son are safe." Hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and his whole body seemed to have lost all strength. Fortunately, Li Dexian held him in time.

Lin Xiaofeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked hurriedly: "Master, is it a boy or a girl?" Before Po Wen could answer, a voice came from the delivery room: "Master Lin, congratulations, it's a boy!" Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng said, A smile immediately bloomed on his face, as if he was about to float.

Emperor Jingjiang looked at Lin Xiaofeng with deep emotion in his eyes. He asked: "Xiaofeng, now that mother and child are safe, why are you still so concerned about whether it is a boy or a girl?" After he asked, Lin Xiaofeng realized that they had not named the child yet.

When Li Hanmiao was pregnant, Lin Xiaofeng and Emperor Jingjiang discussed the name of the child many times, but they were never able to reach an agreement. Now Emperor Jingjiang asked again, Lin Xiaofeng thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I want to name my child Lin Laoyong. I hope he can inherit the hardworking spirit of our Lin family."

Li Dexian and Li Hanmiao laughed when they heard it, feeling that the name was too plain. Finally, Emperor Jingjiang decided to name the child himself: "Then I will name the child Hongli. I hope his future will be as broad as Hongchen Wanli." Although Li Hanmiao was weak, he was full of praise for the name.

Although Lin Xiaofeng felt a little unwilling, he could only accept it. Everyone chatted happily around the baby, and the delivery room was filled with laughter and laughter. Emperor Jingjiang hugged Xiao Hongli with a look of doting on his face. Lin Xiaofeng watched this scene. Although he felt that the elderly were not paying enough attention to hygiene when teasing children like this, he finally chose to remain silent. After all, the love of the elderly for their children is so sincere and deep.

While chatting, Lin Xiaofeng suddenly mentioned that Wei Cairen in the palace was about to give birth. After hearing this, Emperor Jingjiang said: "Yes, the Imperial Hospital said she will give birth in the next few days. You have given me a good start here, and I hope everything goes well in the palace."

In the magnificent mansion, Lin Xiaofeng was leaning leisurely on the edge of the soft couch, with a special crib placed next to him. On the bed, there was a plate of sumptuous dishes, including colorful fish, meat and vegetables, and every dish exuded an alluring aroma. And his precious son Lin Hongwan was lying quietly in the cradle under the bed, snoring like a thin thunder.

Especially the braised carp that has just come out of the pot. It is as red as agate, steaming hot, and the meat is so tender that it will make your mouth water.

At this time, Li Hanmiao was lying on his side and resting. Hearing Lin Xiaofeng's words, she turned her head, half sat up, and her eyes fell on the plate of delicious food. However, she just shook her head slightly, "I don't want to eat it. The imperial doctor has told me to eat light." But Lin Xiaofeng didn't take it seriously. He picked up a piece of fresh fish and brought it to Li Hanmiao's mouth. "What do those imperial doctors know?" ? Real delicious food can nourish people." Li Hanmiao took a bite and his eyes lit up: "Is this fish really delicious?" Lin Xiaofeng responded with a smile: "Of course, only children like it." As he said that, he took another piece of abalone for her. After Li Hanmiao tasted it carefully, he asked curiously: "I heard that Wei Cairen is also pregnant. Is there any new news from the palace?" Lin Xiaofeng replied: "It should be soon. I have sent someone to prepare the delivery room for her. "After hearing this, Li Hanmiao couldn't help but sigh: "I have met Wei Cairen, and she is even thinner than me. Women have to go through hell after giving birth. I hope she can be safe."

While the two were talking and laughing, news suddenly came from outside the door, and Lin Hongwan burst into tears. Li Hanmiao looked around in panic: "Where is our child?" Lin Xiaofeng raised a plate full of delicacies to signal, Li Hanmiao was a little unhappy: "I thought you had someone take the child away, you don't look like a father at all! " Before she finished speaking, Lin Xiaofeng coughed a few times, quickly turned around and left with the plate in hand, muttering to himself: After having a child, his wife has become more aggressive.

Lin Xiaofeng was about to leave when he ran into his old friend Ou Zhiyong. Ou Zhiyong rushed to him sweating profusely and told him: "Mr. Lin, Wei Cairen is about to give birth, and the prince has summoned you to the palace." Lin Xiaofeng hurriedly asked about the situation, "Has Wei Cairen given birth already?" Ou Zhiyong shook his head and said: "Not yet." Lin Xiaofeng asked doubtfully, "What's the rush?" Ou Zhiyong hesitated, "Poor Wen said the situation might be bad. In fact, Wei Cairen started to show signs of labor last night. The prince was very worried, so he sent me I came to inform you." Lin Xiaofeng looked up and saw that it was already past noon. Isn't it the worst case scenario if the child has not been born for so long? His expression changed, and the tray in his hand fell to the ground: "Let's go! Follow me into the palace!"

The two of them rode horses and galloped into the palace. Outside the delivery room in the back courtyard of the East Palace, people were in panic. Emperor Jingjiang sat silently on the stool, expressionless and breathing rapidly. Prince Li Dexian's face was pale, his fists were clenched, and he was anxious as he listened to the cries in the delivery room. Imperial physician Guo stood among a group of imperial doctors. Although they each had their own strengths, they could only act in a hurry at the moment. Dr. Guo comforted the prince and said, "Don't worry, your highness. It's normal for a woman to take a long time to give birth." Li Dexian said angrily: "Everyone in the delivery room said the situation was not good, but you said this is normal? Why don't you go in? Help? You just talk empty words!" Dr. Guo looked confused. How could he enter the delivery room at this time?
When everyone was anxious, Emperor Jingjiang stood up and asked Imperial Physician Guo in a low voice: "I heard that the fetal position is incorrect and the child's head will be large. How sure are you?" Imperial Physician Guo's eyes twitched and he gritted his teeth and replied: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. The fetal position is incorrect. The situation is critical, but there may be a solution. Wen Po in the palace is very skilled and may be able to adjust it outside the body. But the child's head is big, so it depends on Wei Cairen's luck." Emperor Jingjiang closed his eyes and sighed. The voice trembled.

At this time, Lin Xiaofeng and Ou Zhiyong had rushed outside the East Palace. Officials at the scene looked anxious. Among them, Wang Yansun was carrying a large medicine box, and there were two stable women beside him. Lin Xiaofeng ignored the greetings of others and went straight to Wang Yansun. "Why are you here? Where is the prince?" Wang Yansun replied: "He is in the back courtyard and won't let us in. Although we want to help, there is nothing we can do. Doctor Guo is already in the delivery room." Lin Xiaofeng said hurriedly: " Come with me!"

The atmosphere in the back court was very heavy. Lin Xiaofeng quickly walked into the delivery room and asked, "Your Majesty, how is the situation?" Emperor Jingjiang sighed: "Difficult delivery." Cold sweat immediately broke out on Lin Xiaofeng's forehead. This is what worries him the most. "Your Majesty, don't worry. Difficult childbirth is common. Maybe the baby will come out after a while." Li Dexian whispered to Lin Xiaofeng: "Old Lin, I am really scared. What should I do? If I had known this would happen, I would have I would rather not have this child!" Lin Xiaofeng smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, wait a moment, I will ask Wang Yansun."

This sudden difficult birth caused everyone in the palace to fall into tension and anxiety.

The prince sat calmly, Lin Xiaofeng glanced at Imperial Physician Guo and Wang Yansun quickly, then turned and walked out of the room. He asked Imperial Physician Guo anxiously: "Old Hu, please tell me how the situation is inside?" Physician Guo looked embarrassed and replied hesitantly: "The situation, well, the situation is not very good."

Lin Xiaofeng saw him hesitating and stamped his feet anxiously: "What do you mean it's not good? Please explain it clearly to me! Now is a time of life and death, what we need is a clear situation!"

Doctor Guo stammered, and finally leaned into Lin Xiaofeng's ear and whispered: "I'm afraid, it will be difficult for her to survive this. The cervix is ​​fully dilated, but the baby's position is a bit off, making delivery very difficult. If it is delayed any longer, , I’m afraid both mother and child will be in danger.”

"Unless..." Dr. Guo suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

"Unless what?" Lin Xiaofeng asked urgently.

"Unless we can open the abdomen, take out the child and sew it up like how to treat intestinal carbuncle, or let Wang Yansun try?" Dr. Guo suggested tentatively.

"Nonsense!" Lin Xiaofeng interrupted Doctor Guo angrily. This old man is a quick learner, but in this situation, disembowelment is a dead end. Wouldn't this bad idea mean that Wang Yansun would be buried with him?

Wang Yansun stood aside and couldn't help but nodded when he heard the suggestion of disembowelment. "This method may work. I have done research. Theoretically speaking, there should be no life-threatening effects of abdominal dissection."

"Can you do a caesarean section?" Lin Xiaofeng asked in surprise.

"No." Wang Yansun replied hesitantly, "I have tried experiments with monkeys before, but they all died of massive bleeding. Unless there is a way to stop the bleeding, but even if there is, I..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Lin Xiaofeng interrupted him angrily, "Didn't you have the forceps prepared two days ago?"

Wang Yansun opened the medicine box, revealing several gleaming forceps. Lin Xiaofeng's eyes lit up. These things were very similar to what he had seen on the Internet in his previous life, and the corners were very rounded.

"Great! This is what we need. Can you use it? Have you ever used it before?" Lin Xiaofeng asked eagerly.

"Never used it." Wang Yansun frowned and said, "But I think this thing may not be of much use. Maybe there is a better way, let me think about it." Doctor Guo and Lin Xiaofeng both looked at him nervously.

At this moment, Li Dexian opened the door and walked out. Wang Yansun closed his eyes and thought of the female bodies he had dissected before. After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes and said in a low voice: "I thought about it. It doesn't need to be as complicated as an abdominal opening. We only need to make an incision in the perineum. There is no fatal wound there. It can be sutured after the operation."

"No! There are differences between men and women, how can this be done!" Doctor Guo was so angry that his whole body was shaking, even his beard and eyebrows were trembling. They had been waiting for so long, but Wang Yansun came up with such a solution. Although it sounds reasonable, Wei Cairen cannot accept such an operation even if he dies. He has treated the concubines in the palace, and he knows very well how important the reputation of the royal family is!

"Why not! Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. At this time, we don't care about the difference between men and women! Wang Yansun, go in and save people now!" Li Dexian ordered loudly, and he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Wang Yansun's arm. sleeve. Upon seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng hurriedly stopped him, with nervous sweat already breaking out on his forehead. "Your Highness, please don't worry." He would never let Wang Yansun go in for surgery. Not to mention Wei Cairen's noble status, even if she was an ordinary woman, once this kind of thing spread, it would be a devastating blow to both parties. This is a taboo in moral ethics, and even he would not dare to try it easily.

Wang Yansun's sleeves were pulled painfully. He hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, don't worry, it's not difficult to cut the perineum. I can bring two women in. They have learned some anatomy knowledge and have some knowledge of women's body structure." They understand it to a certain extent, so it should be no problem." "And they have better control of force than me. If necessary, they can use forceps to assist, right?"

Although he didn't know what the forceps were, Li Dexian's eyes still flashed with anticipation: "That's okay! That's no problem! Let them go quickly!" Lin Xiaofeng's face also showed a relieved smile: " Then let them get ready. Where is Po Wen? Forget it, I'll go out and find the person myself." After that, he led Wang Yansun into the room. Not long after, Po Wen was also found.

Emperor Jingjiang didn't know anything about what was happening outside. Seeing everyone's panic, he couldn't help but asked in confusion: "What happened? Why are you so panicked?"

"Father, we are saved!" Li Dexian replied excitedly, "The Wenpo brought by Wang Yansun can save people. I have already asked them to go in and save people."

Upon hearing the news, Emperor Jingjiang also showed a happy expression. In the delivery room, Wang Yansun took out two more bottles of alcohol from the medicine box and began to simply disinfect Wen Po and the equipment they were about to use. When everything was ready, he informed the door to open.

At this time, Po Wen suddenly asked nervously: "The operation requires anesthesia. Where is the anesthetic decoction?"

Wang Yansun was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought before replying: "Anesthetics shouldn't be used, she must stay awake. Otherwise she won't have the strength to give birth to the child."

"Yes, that's right!" Po Wen suddenly realized, "Hurry up and find the hemp rope to fix the mother. Don't let her move around!"

Although the Wen women were a little panicked, they had learned new medical knowledge at Yangqu Medical Clinic and had also done animal anatomy experiments with Wang Yansun. However, the current situation is completely different from the previous experiments. The patient was conscious, and having to open an opening under her body was like torture.

Both Li Dexian and Lin Xiaofeng were so nervous that they broke into cold sweat and turned pale. When they thought of that horrific scene, their hearts tightened. Lin Xiaofeng was secretly glad that everything went well on his side. The little medical knowledge he had in his previous life might not be able to keep up with Wang Yansun's pace, so he didn't interrupt. If this continues, will people be hurt to death?

Emperor Jingjiang didn't know how to rescue him yet, but he just realized that the matter was not simple. Now we can only completely obey Wang Yansun's command. So he shouted: "Get the rope quickly!"

After everything was ready, Wang Yansun explained a few key points and precautions for the operation in detail. Then the two stable women walked into the room nervously. They usually deliver babies to ordinary people, but this is the first time they deliver babies to such a noble person, and they have to use such a "special" method. However, out of professionalism and sense of responsibility, they quickly got into the mood.

Wei Cairen was already dying on the hospital bed, and his consciousness was not very clear. The stalwarts tied her tightly with ropes to ensure that she would not move during the operation. They comforted her softly: "The child is fine, don't worry. It will hurt a little for a while, so you must hold it back! Just try harder when I ask you to, and it will be over soon."

At this time, it was so quiet outside the delivery room that you could hear a pin drop. Lin Xiaofeng gnawed her nails nervously and Li Dexian kept staring at the door, afraid of missing any movement.

Suddenly, a shrill scream came from the room. The sound was unprecedentedly harsh and terrifying, making everyone feel horrified.

Emperor Jingjiang stood up suddenly, with a nervous and worried look on his face, turned to Lin Xiaofeng, and asked eagerly: "Why do those screams sound so heart-wrenching? How did you deliver the baby?"

The shrill scream seemed to still be echoing in his ears, and Lin Xiaofeng also seemed a little nervous. He swallowed and replied: "I used an episiotomy to take out the child while he was still awake. Although it will It hurts, but it’s not fatal, please don’t worry, Your Majesty.”

Emperor Jingjiang was silent for a while, then slowly closed his eyes and sat down again.

The pain of cutting flesh may be bearable for men, but it is too cruel for weak women. However, the matter has come to this, and there is no other choice but to act according to Lin Xiaofeng's suggestion.

Lin Xiaofeng stood there, thoughtful, and suddenly looked at Wang Yansun and said, "Have you brought the anesthetic? Go and boil the medicine. After the child is born, give it to Wei Cairen as soon as possible, so that she will suffer less pain. ”

Wang Yansun nodded, quickly opened the medicine box, and took Doctor Guo to boil the medicine.

In the delivery room, Po Wen was already busy, and the scene was bloody and tense. Even the experienced Wen Po was so nervous that her forehead was sweating at this moment.

Seeing that the time was right, Po Wen motioned to her assistant to hand over the forceps. When the forceps were being made, the women were also involved and even made many valuable suggestions based on their experience. Although they have not actually used it yet, years of intuition tell them that this tool will be far more effective than their hands. Moreover, this birth forceps was carefully crafted by a blacksmith and a silversmith, and its appearance was polished as smooth as jade, almost comparable to modern stainless steel.

As the forceps slowly entered, Po Wen gave instructions to Wei Cairen. Although Wei Cairen was suffering from severe pain at this time, the power of motherhood cheered her up and responded vaguely to Po Wen's instructions.

With the joint efforts of both parties, the baby's head slowly emerged, and Wen Po's forehead was dripping with sweat. After a while, half of the baby's body came out! Wen Po felt at ease and began to operate skillfully and carefully.

Time passed by minute by second, and it was quiet outside the door, and only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard. Wei Cairen had lost her voice, and everyone was filled with fear. Did something happen to her?
There was a look of fear on Li Dexian's face. He held Lin Xiaofeng's arm tightly, for fear of hearing some bad news.

Suddenly, a loud baby cry came from the delivery room, like lightning piercing the dark sky. The world outside the delivery room suddenly became brighter. Emperor Jingjiang's face was filled with a smile of shock and joy. He murmured to himself: "It's born, it's born?"

Li Dexian was stunned. The child had been born. Is Wei Cairen still alive?
Before anyone could recover, the door to the delivery room suddenly opened! Po Wen walked out of it holding a small swaddle. Wei Cairen was already covered in a thick quilt on the hospital bed. She could vaguely see her opening her eyes and looking hopefully in Po Wen's direction.

Li Dexian couldn't wait to rush into the delivery room to check Wei Cairen's safety. Emperor Jingjiang asked with a trembling voice: "Is it a boy or a girl?" Before Po Wen could answer, Lin Xiaofeng quickly stepped forward and lifted up a corner of the swaddling clothes. When he saw the baby inside, he said with great joy: "Congratulations to Your Majesty on your grandson! It's a boy! What a holy grandson!"

"Let me hug you quickly!" Emperor Jingjiang stretched out his trembling hands, and Po Wen carefully handed the swaddling clothes into his hands. Lin Xiaofeng saw that his father-in-law was so happy, so he said nothing more and waited for the opportunity to congratulate him again.

He turned around and saw Li Dexian standing by Wei Cairen's bed with his butt sticking out, so he hurriedly pulled Wen Po and asked: "Has it been sutured? Has it been disinfected?" A tired smile appeared on Wen Po's face, and she clicked Nodding: "It's all done." Lin Xiaofeng said happily: "Great! You stay in the palace to take care of Wei Cairen for the time being, and later go to Yangqu Medical Center to collect one hundred taels of silver! From now on, you will stay in the hospital. The clinic specializes in gynecology and has great benefits! ”

The two stable women smiled happily and saluted quickly to express their gratitude. At this moment, Li Dexian was looking at Wei Cairen with concern, stroking her temples that were already wet with sweat, and asked: "What do you think? Does it hurt? Is the child a boy or a girl?" "It hurts a little, but it doesn't matter. "Is the child a boy or a girl?" "It's okay, it's okay." Li Dexian finally smiled, "It's a boy. You can rest assured and see the baby later." Be sure to drink.”

Wei Cairen was completely relieved and nodded weakly. As for Emperor Jingjiang, who was holding the child in his arms, he was in a daze, with happiness and dizziness impacting his brain. His long-awaited grandson was finally in his arms today. Now that the world is peaceful, the only thing that worries him is that the prince has no heirs. Now he finally has the child, and the country's future has a longer continuation. Lin Xiaofeng still stood aside and was silly and happy, playing the role of mascot and creating a festive atmosphere.

After the anesthetic decoction was fed to Wei Cairen, Li Dexian also came over. He looked at the swaddled child, lifted up the quilt and took another look, feeling proud in his heart. He said loudly: "As expected of my son! He is indeed a grandson! Father, look, look!" Emperor Jingjiang nodded and said happily: "He is a grandson. I have a grandson. I, Jingjiang, have hope." !" But Li Dexian's pride suddenly froze, "Jingjiang has hope? What do you mean! I'm still young and I'm still alive!" His smile gradually disappeared and he turned to Lin Xiaofeng, trying to Find your own sense of existence. However, he didn't expect that the smile would have moved to Lin Xiaofeng's face early.

Seeing that Emperor Jingjiang had calmed down from his excitement, Lin Xiaofeng grinned wider. He came close to Emperor Jingjiang, pointed at the child and said, "Your Majesty, look, he and you are just like being carved from the same mold. If nothing else, his eyebrows are very similar to yours!" "It can be seen from this that he and you are carved from the same mold!" , The emperor's grandson will definitely have a great future and will definitely become a wise king! I, Jingjiang, will definitely prosper and prosper in the future!" "Hahahaha..." Suddenly, Jingjiang The emperor's hearty laughter penetrated the back courtyard of the East Palace and spread far and wide.

Li Dexian almost suffocated, and in the end he had no choice but to admit the reality: he had been ignored, abandoned, and even his closest comrades had rebelled! Lin Xiaofeng continued: "Your Majesty, it's time to give your grandson a name." "I've already thought about it, let's call him Li Lingjue." "Meiyu Wuxia, what a good name! What a good name! Your Majesty can give him a name in such a short period of time." It's really admirable to come up with such a meaningful and affectionate name in such a short time." Emperor Jingjiang laughed unbridled again, and the sound spread throughout the East Palace.

Perhaps the sound was too loud, and the infant Li Lingjue was suddenly awakened and began to cry loudly. This caught Emperor Jingjiang a little off guard. He hurriedly asked Po Wen: "Why did he cry suddenly?" "He's hungry! Your Majesty, please take him to the wet nurse to feed him." Emperor Jingjiang quickly said: "Yes, yes, wet nurse Where is it? Call someone quickly." Naturally, the wet nurse was already prepared in the East Palace. After giving the order, she quickly found someone and took Li Lingjue away to nurse. Looking at the retreating figure of the emperor's grandson, Emperor Jingjiang sighed leisurely: "Okay, okay!" "This time, Wei Cairen is safe and sound, and the emperor's grandson was also born smoothly. Wang Yansun is really the first to do this!"

Far away from the palace, Wang Yansun stood hesitantly, his face showing a little timidity and uneasiness. When he heard Emperor Jingjiang's approval, he knelt down in fear and responded respectfully: "I'm just a commoner in this world. I really don't dare to take credit. I all rely on Master Lin's careful guidance." After hearing this, the emperor's face showed a trace of emotion. With a kind smile, he said hehe: "You are too self-effacing. How can the poisoner understand the secrets of medical skills? Today, I will reward you heavily. What do you wish for, but it doesn't matter." The emperor's The words were full of kindness and warmth.

At this time, the smile on Lin Xiaofeng's face suddenly froze for a moment, but soon returned to its natural state. Li Dexian stepped forward and laughed in a low voice with a hint of joking: "Old Lin, you are here too! My son doesn't look like me, but more like his father. You have to find someone more reliable for your nonsense. That's the reason." After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng laughed and responded: "Your Highness, you really wronged me, I just told the truth."

Wang Yansun was still kneeling on the ground, his head bowed deeply, as if in deep thought. He was originally only a candidate to enter the palace, but he did not expect such honor. After some careful consideration, he raised his head and said: "Xiaomin has been practicing medicine in Yangqu Medical Center for a long time, but many women delayed treatment because of the difference between men and women, and eventually died unfortunately." Therefore, he implored the emperor to inscribe an inscription for Yangqu Medical Center. , and specially opened a gynecology department, hoping to recruit women to study medicine and continue to treat the people of the capital. "

After hearing this, Emperor Jingjiang's eyes flashed with surprise, and at the same time he admired him even more. This person looks dull on the outside, but is full of a gentleman's heart. He always thinks about benefiting others. This spirit is really valuable. Lin Xiaofeng was also surprised. Wang Yansun's transformation made him look at him with admiration.

The emperor warned him sternly: "You have to think clearly, there is only one opportunity for such a reward. If you miss it, you will never get it again." Wang Yansun raised his head with firm eyes: "Your Majesty, I have made my decision. The master taught me in the medical clinic, Human life is of vital importance and is as precious as a thousand pieces of gold. He also passed down the medical teaching: No matter how complicated the medicine is, we should not save labor, and no matter how expensive the taste is, we should not save material resources. I can continue to run the medical clinic, help the world by hanging pots, and study medical skills."

After hearing this, the emperor was greatly pleased and clapped his hands and praised: "It's just what you said! I will allow you to set up a gynecology department, recruit female doctors, and will also give you a plaque." "Although pharmaceuticals are complicated, they will not save labor, and although the taste is expensive, they will not dare to save labor. "Reduce material resources" is a wise saying! Xiaofeng, although you are not skilled in medicine, your medical ethics has surpassed that of many famous doctors." The emperor sighed sincerely.

Lin Xiaofeng pursed her lips and lowered her head in response: "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. I don't know any medical ethics, but the education I received since childhood told me to be a down-to-earth person and work seriously. So I think this attitude should be adopted when treating diseases and saving people." The emperor listened. Then he laughed, looking very happy. However, the emperor did not stay for long. He said: "You just stay here and take care of me. I have important things to deal with, so I'll go ahead."

After the emperor left, Lin Xiaofeng hurriedly stepped forward, took Wang Yansun's hand and asked, "When did you learn to flatter? Where did you learn these sleek sophistications?" Wang Yansun explained: "Master, you misunderstood. I really want to recruit female doctors. You may not know that women from brothels often come to our Yangqu Medical Clinic to seek medical treatment. Penicillin is very effective and they are quite generous. I deeply feel that many women in the public avoid medical treatment due to shame. This is really a problem. Big loss.”

"Also, I have an idea: Women may bleed heavily during childbirth. If it is too late to stop the bleeding, can blood transfusion be used to save the patient's life? But this requires monkeys for experiments, and purchasing monkeys is expensive. Our medical center is responsible for this In terms of profit and loss, the county has no financial support, so we can only raise funds on our own.”

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng felt ashamed and thought to himself: "I don't even dare to think about the idea of ​​blood transfusion, but my subordinates seem to have traveled from the future. It's really shameful. I must hurry up and seize the patent."

Seeing Lin Xiaofeng deep in thought, Wang Yansun asked tentatively: "Master, what's wrong? Will it cause trouble?" Lin Xiaofeng came back to his senses and comforted: "It doesn't matter, business is charity! Making money and charity are not in conflict , everything we do is a good deed.”

"If you are short of funds, just ask me and I will have a clever idea to help you." Wang Yansun asked Lin Xiaofeng for advice. Lin Xiaofeng grinned and whispered: "Let me ask you, how do patients come to the hospital?" "Wealthy people. They came on horseback or in cars, and the poor came on foot.”

"Therefore, we can set up a parking lot at the door and charge a certain fee, which is an income. At the same time, we can also use this to screen patients. Most of the people who come on foot are poor people. Our penicillin production is limited , so the rich can be charged more, and the poor can be reduced or exempted as appropriate."

"After the patient enters the hospital, he needs to undergo a comprehensive examination, not just the affected area. Check the whole body! How can the examination be free? We need to use equipment to show the professionalism of our medical center. Otherwise, the patient will definitely feel resentful. And use There is also a fee for the equipment. Our equipment is single-use to ensure hygiene and safety and will never be reused. ”

"If the patient wants to go home after being hospitalized, we cannot easily let him go. Because the people do not know medical skills, we need to take care of them here and provide them with all-round nutrition! How can nutritious meals and professional medical staff be free?"

"The wards in our medical center are all of the same standard! How to show dignity? Seeing a doctor also requires a sense of ritual, so the rooms need to be renovated and divided into four levels: A, B, C and D. Class A rooms can hire brothel beauties as nurses to make distinguished patients linger."

"C-class rooms can be converted into Datongbu, so that poor people can be treated and left quickly to improve efficiency!" "How can it be unprofitable to operate like this?"

Li Dexian overheard these plans, and his contempt turned to admiration: "Old Lin, you are really a miracle doctor! You can also come up with so many clever ideas when treating patients."

"Old Lin, don't you think it's a bit immoral to do this? Aren't you afraid that someone will make trouble?" Lin Xiaofeng licked his lips in shame when he heard this and said, "Your Highness, how can you say that it is immoral? What we sell is all There is absolutely no falsehood in the service! Moreover, business reputation depends on reputation. Most businesses are dominated by the poor. If the poor are satisfied, the reputation will naturally increase. "

"As for the rich, they are easier to serve. They are not overly demanding and can do public relations alone. In order to show their nobility, they do not hesitate to spend a lot of money. After they understand the meaning of night work, they wish they were sick every day!" "What does night work mean? ?" Wang Yansun and Li Dexian both poked their heads out and asked.

Lin Xiaofeng explained calmly: "It's the nurses who work hard to patrol the wards at night to show our hospital's meticulous care for top patients." "Oh~~" Both of them nodded in realization.

"I have other matters to deal with and need to go home. Congratulations to Your Highness on the birth of Longzi today." Lin Xiaofeng said goodbye with his hands raised, "Old Lin, please stay with me for a while, and you will be in peace now that you are here." Li Dexian persuaded.

Lin Xiaofeng responded: "Your Highness, do you still remember the business plan we agreed on before? Now that you have a son, the emperor has no worries. We should seize the opportunity to get down to business. I need to draft a memorial and report to the emperor urgently."

The birth of Longsun made the whole world rejoice. Although he was not the daughter of the empress of the palace, Emperor Jingjiang still held a grand ancestor worship ceremony for him. No one in the civil and military officials of the dynasty had any objections, but they had all been looking forward to it for a long time. The reason is simple. Li Dexian was already twenty years old before he had such a precious son. His fertility, well, is indeed a bit worrying. However, regardless of the future, I finally see hope now.

But Lin Xiaofeng didn't care too much about all this. He only hopes that his child can come into this world safely. He really doesn't care how other people celebrate. He is now too busy writing a business development proposal to bother with red tape. He spent several days carefully planning ten business development plans, which were both reasonable and logical, and were accompanied by practical examples. Lin Xiaofeng felt that if the court did not loosen its grip on the people, business would not be able to develop rapidly, let alone capitalism. Although there is enough food now, the development momentum among the people will sooner or later force the court to make changes. Now that he has chosen this path, he will definitely not wait for it to happen, but will speed up the process. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of his status as a time traveler? He came to this world, but he was going to stir up troubles. How could he not make a difference?

Taking advantage of Emperor Jingjiang's good mood, Lin Xiaofeng felt that there might be a chance to go to Shuzhuo. However, his hopes were quickly dashed. After the memorial was handed over, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response at all. If my guess is correct, this memorial is probably being kept in the palace. At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng was revising the memorial in Dali Temple and planned to try again. Lu Dexing stood next to him, pouring him tea and leisurely looking at Jin Yiwei's documents. Most of the documents were handled by Lu Dexing, and Lin Xiaofeng basically didn't care about them.

After a long time, Lin Xiaofeng finally revised the memorial. He let out a sigh of relief. This version had less substance and more emotion and compliments. However, he is quite satisfied and feels that his Chinese proficiency has improved again. After checking it again, he folded the memorial and threw it to Lu Dexing accurately: "Old Lu, look at how I did this time?" Lu Dexing quickly put down the document in his hand, picked up the memorial and read it carefully. : "Master, to be honest, the writing this time is not as good as last time. It feels a bit perfunctory."

"How do you understand? No one will read pure dry stuff. If you add a little water, it will become smoother. Besides, other people's memorials are all thin. I am the only one who writes such a thick one. People are definitely more willing to read the thicker ones first." "Master." "Brilliant!" Lu Dexing praised, "The number of words means it is rich in content! However, your core meaning has not changed. I still want to choose a place to try commercial development. I am afraid that people have always thought that agriculture is too radical." Business is important, I think it’s hard for the boss to agree.” “I think so too, but if you don’t try it, no one will even mention it.” “It’s a pity that you don’t say anything.” It's a pity that the memorial was not brought up for discussion. "Forget it, you are right. Give me the memorial and prepare a gift. I will go to the Ministry of Finance." Asked: "Master, why are you going to the Ministry of Household Affairs?" "I want to find someone with weight to help lobby. I have to find someone who can speak." "Then what gifts are you preparing?" "Bring some tea and some Just snacks, nothing too expensive.”

Hube Shuwenxu was sitting in the office, drinking tea, reading a book, and enjoying a moment of tranquility. Although the household department is busy, there are still times when one can steal half a day of free time. Looking at numbers and documents for a long time will give you a headache. The book he read today was quite novel. It was a strange novel that his son bought. It is said that this book came from Yangqu County. The content was novel and interesting, and it was just right to relax. This book is not thick and easy to read. Shu Wenxu read it to the end quickly. Suddenly, someone came to report: "Sir, Master Lin, the commander of the Jinyiwei, wants to see you!" Jinyiwei? Lin Xiaofeng! Shu Wenxu perked up after hearing this, put the book aside and said loudly: "Please come in quickly!"

After a while, Lin Xiaofeng walked in carrying large and small bags with a smile. Shu Wenxu was a little confused and stood up to greet him with a smile: "Rare visitor! What business does Mr. Lin have at the Ministry of Finance today?" "Official business? No! I just have nothing to do. I remembered that I wanted to send you off when I had dinner with you last time. I’ll bring you some tea leaves.” After Lin Xiaofeng finished speaking, he picked up the things in his hands. Shu Wenxu blinked and thought carefully about the last time he had dinner with him. He seemed to have mentioned sending tea. "Master Lin, please sit down, please come and serve tea to Master Lin." Shu Wenxu said, "It's great that Master Lin can come, but forget about the gift. I have no shortage of tea at home. I accept your offer. Please take your things back.”

Lin Xiaofeng sat down and said: "These are just popular snacks among the people. They are not expensive things. Just accept them. They are quite heavy for me to hold." After saying that, he opened a paper bag and revealed the snacks inside. Seeing that they were all ordinary things, Shu Wenxu breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, in that case, I won't be polite." After chatting for a while, seeing that Lin Xiaofeng still had no intention of leaving, Shu Wenxu asked tentatively: "Mr. Lin, you're not here just to bring some refreshments, are you? If you have anything, you might as well just say it." "There is really nothing important to discuss, but I just want to ask you some questions." Shu Wenxu became wary, " But it doesn't matter." "Come on! Mr. Shu should know that small officials or officials in the capital often bullied businessmen and people. But since the establishment of Jinyiwei, we have been committed to combating this kind of behavior." "So, I want to confirm that Jinyiwei. Whether the long-term efforts have achieved results? If private businessmen can do business normally without being disturbed, then the commercial tax collected by the imperial court from the capital should be increased. "I am here to learn about the imperial court this year. Whether the commercial tax collected from the capital has increased and by how much, in order to verify the work results of our Jinyiwei, I can also urge my subordinates to make corrections in time. "

It turned out that he was here to ask about this matter. Shu Wenxu breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Lin, what Jin Yiwei did is indeed effective. But this tax is a secret of the Ministry of Household Affairs." Lin Xiaofeng stared at him motionless. Shu Wenxu smiled awkwardly: "If it's just limited to the capital, it's okay to tell you. This year's commercial tax in the capital has increased by 20% compared to last year. Because of Jin Yiwei's efforts, tax evasion has been greatly reduced compared to last year. Of course, commercial tax There are other factors for the improvement. "This way I feel relieved and I am satisfied if I can help the court." Lin Xiaofeng sighed. Suddenly he changed the topic: "Since commercial tax revenue has increased so much, Mr. Shu, do you think it will be possible to replace agricultural tax with commercial tax in the future?" "If restrictions on merchants are relaxed and tariffs in various places are cancelled, commercial tax revenue will Will joining the association go further?" Shu Wenxu raised his hand and frowned: "There is no such possibility! If a person is too capable and has too much wealth, his ambition will be harmed. If a person is too stupid, too much wealth will increase his faults. The pursuit of interests is more likely to encourage greed. Furthermore, wealthy people are prone to resentment and jealousy. The rise of businessmen may cause envy and jealousy among other people, which will lead to social chaos. The collapse is not far away. "It makes sense, it makes sense," Lin Xiaofeng agreed, but in his heart he was extremely disdainful. These officials were all big landowners in their hometowns, with a lot of servants and a big business. On the surface they pretend to be clean and simple, but secretly they are very luxurious. Jin Yiwei has already understood these situations clearly, and now they are still pretending here. It is really shameless.

Looking at Wenxu's hesitant look, everyone knew that it would be extremely difficult to ask him to help.

Lin Xiaofeng stood up from his seat, clasped his hands in his fists, and said politely: "Master Shu, you really helped me a lot today, and I can't thank you enough. You are busy with official work, so I won't bother you. Let's have a few drinks together when we have time." ”

Wen Xu also stood up politely and responded. After the two exchanged a few words, Lin Xiaofeng prepared to leave. At this moment, he saw the book on the table with sharp eyes, and a smile appeared on his face: "Master Shu, are you also reading "Journey to the West"? To be honest, this book was actually written by me, but this matter Son, don’t tell anyone.”

Wen Xu was stunned and picked up the book with surprise on his face: "Did you write this "Journey to the West"?"

"Yes, yes," Lin Xiaofeng waved his hand, "As long as you know, don't spread the word. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong."

Wen Xu gave a thumbs up and sincerely praised: "Awesome! Really awesome! But I have a question. In Journey to the West, Monk Tang had to go through eighty-one hardships to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Why did it disappear when he wrote about the Daughter's Kingdom? There should be more later. Story?"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled: "There is no story behind it. They have arrived at the Paradise of Western Paradise, and the story is complete here."

"Ah, that's it!" Wen Xu suddenly realized, and the two looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other tacitly.

After Lin Xiaofeng left, Wen Xu fell into deep thought. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it. (End of chapter)
