Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

Chapter 344 Kaifeng Jews
As time went by, the evil method of artificial insemination was continuously promoted, and soon more and more families solved their infertility.

Its benefits and good responses are gradually becoming more widely known. Gradually, this kind of controversy becomes less and less, and it is gradually accepted by the world.

After all, the child born from this method is the closest to his biological flesh and blood. This is already the perfect method!

However, Fan Zheng saved more and more infertility patients, but did not save himself. A month passed quietly, and Li Qingzhao still was not pregnant.

"Is it true that I am infertile?" Li Qingzhao was worried about gain and loss.

Being too thin may only be one of the reasons for her infertility. Another possibility is that she is actually infertile.

Fan Zheng said disapprovingly: "Madam, you are too anxious. Your body is too thin. It is not as simple as eating fat. It also needs to restore the whole body to normal. It will take at least three months of recuperation."

Although he has been recuperating for more than a month, Li Qingzhao has only gained about five kilograms in weight. Compared with ordinary people, he is still very thin. Moreover, Fan Zheng does not want Li Qingzhao to gain weight quickly. Firstly, this is not in line with physical health. Secondly, if Rapid weight gain will cause skin fibers to break and form growth lines, which will also affect your beauty.

Li Qingzhao was shocked when he heard Fan Zheng's explanation. If she gained weight quickly and really had growth marks, this would be unacceptable for a woman.

Fan Zheng reassured her: "My wife will be pregnant by the end of the year, and she will have confinement in September when the autumn weather is crisp. She won't have to suffer at all! Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

When Li Qingzhao heard this, he was very embarrassed and said: "How can it be so easy to give birth to a child! Can you still decide your own date?"

Fan Zheng said confidently: "Others can't, but my husband can cure Fan Zheng, so naturally it's not me."

Li Qingzhao felt slightly relieved, and all the worries in his heart were gone.

"Let's go! Will my husband take you out?" Fan Zheng stood up and was about to take Li Qingzhao out of Fan's house.

"I'm going to eat delicious food again. I've gained a lot of weight recently, and I don't want to get growth marks." Li Qingzhao said with both happiness and worry.

This month was Li Qingzhao's most comfortable day. Not only did he untie the knot in his heart, but he also had a lot of delicious food.

Fan Zheng said dotingly: "In addition to delicious food, Madam also wants to accompany her husband to do something important."

Li Qingzhao couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. Fan Zheng was busy with official duties, and now he finally found time to spend time with her.

The two of them walked out of Fan Mansion and had a meal at a time-honored restaurant in Kaifeng City. Then they walked out of the restaurant under Li Qingzhao's resentful eyes.

The two of them walked around Kaifeng City for a long time. After many twists and turns, they finally came to a dilapidated alley!
Li Qingzhao frowned. He didn't expect that what Fan Zheng wanted to do was in such a poor place. The houses here were almost collapsed, and all the people were looking disheveled and poorly dressed.

Li Qingzhao looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief and said: "There is such a poverty-stricken place in Kaifeng City. How could there be such a flaw in Yizhuang?"

After years of development, the role of Yizhuang has become more and more important. Almost all the poor people in the world are taken care of by Yizhuang. However, the impoverished scene in front of him made Li Qingzhao frown and suspect that there was something wrong with Yizhuang's work. Failure to take care of the destitute.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "There is no problem with Yizhuang. The reason why it failed to benefit them is because they are not from the Song Dynasty."

"Not from Song Dynasty?"

Li Qingzhao breathed a sigh of relief. Yizhuang was the Yizhuang of the Song Dynasty, and the poor people of the Song Dynasty that it took care of were naturally not included in the people who were not the Song Dynasty.

"Are they barbarians?"

Li Qingzhao looked around and saw that the people here had blond hair, blue eyes, big noses, and fair skin. They were obviously very different from the Song people with yellow skin, black eyes, and black hair.

"They are a very special branch of the Semu people. You can call them Jews!" Fan Zheng said with solemn eyes. Although there are only less than a hundred Jews here, Fan Zheng understands the specialness of the Jews. If they are given a chance, they It will take root anywhere, even occupying the magpie's nest.

Now this group of Jews were performing "circumcision!", and Fan Zheng's arrival immediately surprised them. After all, Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao were dressed in brocade clothes, and they looked like wealthy people at first glance. How could they end up in such a poor place like them.

"I wonder if your nobleness has something important to do when you come here!" The leader, an old Jewish man, stepped forward and asked proficiently in Chinese.

His clothes are shabby, but they are washed extremely clean, and his behavior is extremely polite.

"Is this circumcision?"

Fan Zheng did not answer, but walked up to the Jewish baby who was being circumcised and asked.

"The noble man actually knows about circumcision?" The old Jewish man couldn't help being shocked and suddenly looked at Fan Zheng.

"According to medical research, not every boy needs circumcision, and the baby is only eight days old, when the body is weak. Circumcision at this time may seriously damage his vitality." Fan Zheng said lightly.

"Who are you, your Excellency, to question circumcision?" A group of Jews heard this and said angrily.

According to Jewish custom, circumcision is the most solemn day. Every newborn baby will be circumcised on the eighth day, even if it is a major festival. Hearing Fan Zheng's question, he couldn't help but get angry.

"You, the foreigners, dare to rush into Fan Zheng and Fan Taicheng!" The village chief who came after hearing the news couldn't help but yelled at Fan Zheng when he saw him coming.

"Evil doctor Fan Zheng?" the old Jewish man at the head said in shock.

He is proficient in Chinese, and he has been in Kaifeng City for a long time and naturally knows the name of the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

"I was waiting for Mr. Fan to come, so please forgive me." The old Jewish man who led the group said quickly.

Fan Zheng waved his hand and told the chief to step back. He stepped forward and shook his head and sighed: "Not to mention that you didn't even prepare the most basic disinfectant alcohol, which makes circumcision even more risky. If Fan guessed correctly, your baby's survival rate is not the same. Not high, especially for a baby boy.”

The old Jewish man couldn't help but be shocked. In this era, the survival rate of babies is not high, especially male babies after circumcision, which are more likely to develop symptoms such as infection and bleeding, which increases the mortality rate out of thin air.

"Circumcision is a Jewish tradition that cannot be changed." The old Jewish man said firmly. "This is a bad habit, and it is also the original sin of Jewish weakness. A nation that does not pay attention to babies cannot be strong! After all, population is the foundation of a nation's strength! This is probably one of the reasons why you wandered all the way from Jerusalem to the Song Dynasty. "Fan Zheng sighed.

The old Jewish man suddenly fell into a struggle. He did not expect that Fan Zheng was so proficient in Jewish history, and he pointedly pointed out that the greatest suffering of the Jews was probably caused by their most noble circumcision.

"You are actually so proficient in Jewish history?" The old Jewish man looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, as far as I know, the Jews claim to be the only chosen people of God. No other race can be equal to the Jews. I wonder, in your opinion, how do the Jews compare with the Han people?"

The old Jewish man couldn't help but be shocked. In other countries, Jews could still consider themselves superior, but in the Song Dynasty they felt ashamed. The Song Dynasty had the most splendid civilization, a civilization that was far more distant than the Jews. It had a vast land, advanced medical skills, Various advanced technologies.

"Hans are as good as Jews!" The old Jewish man had to give up the idea that Jews are superior to others and said with conviction.

Fan Zheng did not care about the Jews' harsh words: "The Han people are already so powerful, but they attach the most importance to the inheritance of incense. Doctors have specially opened a maternal and child hospital to deliver babies. In order to ensure the safe birth of babies, they have even developed caesarean sections and have specialized pediatricians responsible for treatment." baby.

"In order to allow every family to have children, doctors specialize in infertility. The population of the Han people has approached tens of millions, but they still try their best to have children, while the Jews, for the so-called circumcision, let their next generation go out of thin air. How dare you claim to be as good as the Han people if you increase the risk of premature death?" Fan Zheng asked rhetorically.

The old Jewish man suddenly broke out in cold sweat. As the wise man of this Jewish group, he naturally knew that there was nothing wrong with what Fan Zheng said.

Perhaps circumcision may not be the main culprit for the displacement of the Jews, but it is indeed one of the reasons why the Jews are weak. In order to increase the population, the Jews even directly declared that children born to Jewish women are also considered Jews.

The Jews, who have always been troubled by population, do not know that circumcision is their biggest obstacle to increasing their population.

"As long as we pool money to buy alcohol, the harm of circumcision will be minimized." The old Jewish man gritted his teeth.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Alcohol alone cannot completely eliminate the risk. The surgical process and even postoperative recovery can cause infection. Clean gauze is also needed, and the sutures are preferably absorbable catgut. This is not a small deal. number."

Given the environment in which these Jews lived, even the most basic survival was problematic. Fan Zheng did not believe that they had the financial resources to support circumcision operations one after another.

The old Jewish man's expression suddenly changed, and then he looked at Fan Zhengdao with wise eyes: "Master Fan is a nobleman of Kaifeng City. How could he come to our place of residence for no reason? Could it be that he just kindly reminded us of circumcision?" harm."

At that moment, even Li Qingzhao looked at Fan Zheng in confusion, not understanding the intention of Fan Zheng's move.

"Of course not! Fan heard that the Jews are a first-class intelligent people and wanted to put them to good use." Fan Zheng said directly.

The eyes of all the Jews suddenly lit up. It was extremely difficult for them as Jews to survive in the Song Dynasty. If they could get the support of noble people like Fan Zheng, they would definitely stay here and live and work in peace and contentment and no longer wander around.

However, Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "I didn't expect that the rumors were exaggerated. How could the most intelligent nation in the legend destroy the Great Wall, let their next generation circumcise, and increase the risk of premature death out of thin air? How could this be done by a wise man? .”

The faces of all the Jews suddenly changed. They did not expect that circumcision, the most important thing for Jews, would actually conflict with Fan Zheng's medical philosophy, causing them to lose a great opportunity.

"However, Fan can give you a chance, and it will be based on the circumcision of this baby! If you insist on circumcising him, for the sake of his safety, Fan will give you Fan's invitation and let it go! If you For the safety of this baby, if you agree with the doctor's philosophy, you can come to see me at the Royal Bank tomorrow." Fan Zhengdao.

"Royal Bank?"

The old Jewish man's eyes suddenly lit up. Jews are good at doing business. As the wise man of this Jewish group, he naturally knew what the Royal Bank meant.

However, the Jews were in a dilemma. On the one hand, they had the most solemn circumcision, and on the other hand, they were faced with the huge temptation thrown by the nobles, which made them in a dilemma.

Fan Zheng stood up and said slowly: "Everyone knows that the Song Dynasty is opening up the Maritime Silk Road. Now the fleet of the Song Dynasty has sailed across the ocean. I believe that it will soon reach the far west, Persia, Dashi, and Egypt. I believe It’s not far from Jerusalem, don’t you hope to return to the Holy Land one day?”

Looking at Fan Zheng's figure, all the Jews showed enthusiastic eyes. Compared with circumcision, Jerusalem was a place that fascinated them more.

When leaving the Jewish gathering place, Li Qingzhao had in his hand a parchment scroll of the Talmud.

Obviously, facing Fan Zheng's temptation, these Jews in Kaifeng City gave up circumcision and agreed to Fan Zheng's kind invitation.

"What your husband said is true. The Jews are indeed a group of intelligent people. The wisdom of this Talmud is amazing." Li Qingzhao closed the parchment in her hand. She is a person who has read many books. The wisdom in it still amazed her.

"Although the Jews are smart, their wisdom is still slightly inferior to that of the Han people. Otherwise, they would not end up with the country perishing and wandering around." Fan Zheng sighed.

Li Qingzhao nodded proudly. Compared with Chinese civilization, this Talmud is just a drop in the ocean!
"By the way, my husband wants to subdue these Jews, so why do he insist on making them give up circumcision." Li Qingzhao wondered.

Fan Zheng did not answer and asked instead: "Madam, do you know what the greatest desire of a wandering nation is?"

"Of course to build a country of our own!" Li Qingzhao thought for a while.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "So the Jews dream of establishing their own country, so they will become extremely conservative and unwilling to integrate other ethnic groups. Therefore, in Kaifeng City, even if they are already impoverished, they still try their best to maintain their national characteristics."

"What's wrong with this?" Li Qingzhao asked confused.

"Those who are not of my race must have different minds. Although our Song Dynasty is open-minded and tolerant and allows Jews to survive in the Song Dynasty, we must also be prepared to prevent them from taking over the magpie's nest. Therefore, we must treat them To assimilate." Fan Zheng explained.

"So it doesn't matter whether Jewish infant circumcision affects survival or not. What's important is that these Jews give up circumcision and accept being assimilated into the Song Dynasty." Li Qingzhao suddenly realized.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said solemnly: "No, it is equally important, even life is more important. Circumcision of eight-day-old boys may be politically correct in Jewish religion, but it is medically wrong. Not all men need to be circumcised, let alone Don’t talk about a child who is only eight days old.”

In Fan Zheng's view, it was important to assimilate this group of Jews, and it was equally important to correct wrong medical knowledge. After all, as a doctor, he could not tolerate wrong behavior leading to the death of babies.

Since these two things can be done at the same time, why not do it.
