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

Chapter 356 Shaosheng’s fourth year
"Fan Taicheng, congratulations, everyone Li is pregnant and will have a baby soon!"

The Spring Festival of the fourth year of Shaosheng's reign was over. According to tradition, hundreds of officials gathered for the first court meeting of the new year, and Fan Zheng was naturally no exception.

Just after he came to court, many officials saw the beaming Fan Zheng and congratulated him.

"Ah! Everyone knows!"

Fan Zheng was immediately embarrassed. He did not expect that all the officials in the court would know that Li Qingzhao was pregnant!

What Fan Zheng didn't know was that his love affair with Li Qingzhao had already become a model for men and women in the world, not to mention the fact that Li Qingzhao had divorced due to infertility. Naturally, he paid special attention to the two of them, and now he was more than a well-informed official. , even the people have spread the news.

"Fan Taicheng's evil prescription is invincible, I admire him!" Medical Party officials congratulated one after another.

Li Qingzhao was infertile, and Fan Zheng diagnosed that the evil prescription was too thin, which surprised many people. Now Li Qingzhao is preparing for pregnancy and recuperating her body, and she became pregnant successfully, which once again proves that Fan Zheng's evil prescription is indestructible.

"What's even more commendable is that Fan Taicheng used the Li family as a prototype to create pregnancy preparation and pregnancy test methods for female doctors, benefiting pregnant women all over the world. This has already spread throughout Kaifeng City, how could we not hear about it!" Cai Bian said loudly.

In the new party, Fan Zheng and Cai Bian also had a good relationship. They jointly hosted Liao and Xia countries and had a friendship as colleagues.

Other officials nodded in agreement, especially the free pregnancy test, which was praised by all officials in the court. After all, human beings are the most precious wealth in any era.

Nowadays, doctors' medical skills have advanced greatly, and infertility is no longer a difficult problem for doctors. The Song Dynasty will definitely usher in a wave of baby boom. However, just having children is not enough. Prenatal and postnatal care is also needed. Only by giving birth to healthy children in a family can Laughter or the whole family will suffer.

Nowadays, there are methods of pregnancy preparation and pregnancy test, which can benefit pregnant women a lot.

Su Shi patted Fan Zheng heavily on the shoulder and said, "I heard that your mother came to show off to the Su family in person. Your aunt was so angry that she beat Su Dun hard."

Because of the relationship between Fan Zheng and Su Dun, the Fan and Su families were very close, and since Li Qingzhao was infertile before, there would be people gossiping behind his back. Ma family naturally felt aggrieved. Now that Li Qingzhao is pregnant, Ma family would immediately help Li Qingzhao and Fan The government rectified its name, but this time it accidentally injured Su Dun.

Su Shi couldn't help but look sad. He was naturally satisfied with Su Dun's current achievements and official position. The most troublesome thing was Su Dun's marriage.

Among the three heroes of the medical reform, Fan Zheng and Yang Jie were already married and were about to have a child, but Su Dun was the only one who was still alone. And now that Su Dun's three brothers were all married, the remaining Su Dun's marriage was naturally Su Shi was heartbroken.

In fact, according to Su Dun's official position, he will definitely be a rising political star in the future, not to mention the reputation of Su Shi and the Su family. Su Dun has no worries about getting married.

However, Wang Chao Yun held countless blind dates for Su Dun, whether she was a lady or a daughter of a noble family, but Su Dun didn't like her at all and hated Wang Chao Yun so much. If the marriage could still be arranged, why should she be so upset.

Fan Zheng advised Su Dun: "Brother Su has been weak since he was a child. Losing his virginity too early is not good for his health. It took a lot of effort to maintain his health over the years. There is no harm in getting married two years later."

After hearing Fan Zheng's words, Su Shi felt a little better. He naturally knew about Su Dun's physical condition. It was because Su Dun had been frail and sick since he was a child that he let Su Dun go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to study medicine.

"Having said that, Dun'er has now reached the crown, and his life-long events should also be put on the agenda."

Su Shi usually indulged his son who was frail and sick since he was a child. If it were other matters, Su Shi would naturally not pay much attention to it. However, any father's concern is regarding his son's life-long events.

Although Fan Zheng revised the household marriage law and changed the age of marriage to ten for men and sixteen for women, according to folk customs, it is very rare for people not to marry until they are twenty years old, let alone Su Dun not even getting engaged.

Fan Zheng couldn't help but sigh. As a brother, he naturally knew what Su Dun was thinking. Among the three of them, Fan Zheng married Li Qingzhao, the most talented woman in the world, and Yang Jie married Li Shishi, the most beautiful woman in Kaifeng. Not to mention the love between the two. It is quite legendary that Su Dun has a high spirit and naturally looks down on ordinary women.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Uncle, don't worry, I will advise Brother Su!"

Su Shi smiled when he heard this and said, "With your words, uncle will feel relieved!"

He knew that Fan Zheng always had evil remedies. When Su Dun was so heartbroken, Fan Zheng allowed him to recover without medicine. Now Fan Zheng persuaded Su Dun, believing that the chance of success would be extremely high.

Fan Zheng nodded, and seeing that all the officials had arrived, he followed Su Shi into the Chui Gong Hall.

Today is the first court meeting in the fourth year of Shaosheng. According to tradition, this day will summarize the achievements of the past year and look forward to the future of the whole year. It can be said to be extremely important. Many young ministers are gearing up to make a splash today and win. The steward's appreciation is like that of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, who has risen rapidly.

"The officials are here."

Suddenly, following Yang Jian's sharp voice, Zhao Xu's figure slowly appeared in the Chui Gong Hall.

"See the official!"

All the officials came to see him one after another.

"You Aiqings are flat!"

Zhao Xu said in high spirits.

"Thank you, officials!" The ministers then stood up.

Zhao Xu looked around and saw that there were many talents in the court. He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and then his eyes fell on Fan Zheng.

"It's really gratifying that Fan Aiqing's family has a happy event." Zhao Xu suddenly said loudly.

Immediately, all the ministers frowned. They congratulated Fan Zheng outside the court, while Zhao Xu openly congratulated Fan Zheng in Chui Gong Hall on a private matter. This shows how close Fan Zheng and Zhao Xu are.

Fan Zheng smiled bitterly and stepped forward and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Chrysostom. I am flattered."

Zhao Xu also realized the gaffe, and immediately covered it up: "The reason why I congratulate you is to thank everyone Li on behalf of the pregnant women in the world. With pregnancy preparation and free pregnancy tests, I believe that pregnant women in the world will give birth to healthy babies, and the population of our Song Dynasty will be prosperous." .”

After hearing Zhao Xu's attempt to smooth things over, the expressions of all the officials in the court improved slightly.

"To the officials, this is a report from the Imperial Medical Office regarding free pregnancy check-ups at the Maternity and Infant Hospital. I also ask for the official's approval." The imperial doctor ordered Qian Yi to hand over the memorial at the right time.

"allow!"

Zhao Xu took a brief look, then waved his hand.

Cai Jing sighed slightly. With the approval of the government, the future expenditures of the maternal and child hospital for free pregnancy tests will all be allocated from the Ministry of Household Affairs. This is not a small amount.However, Cai Jing had no excuse to object. After all, in a traditional country like the Song Dynasty, if he objected to the matter of benefiting pregnant women all over the world, he would be cast aside.

The memorial from the Imperial Medical Office was just an appetizer. At that moment, Zhang Dun couldn't wait to submit the memorial: "I'm informing the officials that the reform of the Song Dynasty's farm service will be completed soon. Our land tax in the Song Dynasty has increased by more than [-]% compared to the Yuanyou period." .”

New Party officials couldn't help but feel proud. Although Fan Zheng proposed it, it was reformed on the basis of the land equalization tax and the labor exemption law. It was implemented by the New Party, which can be regarded as the New Party's achievement.

"Thirty percent tax!" Zhao Xu was immediately happy. The Song Dynasty added [-]% land tax, which was not a small amount, and it was enough for him to accomplish many major things.

The old party looked displeased. The [-]% increase in taxes was obtained from the large landowners they represented.

Fortunately, doctors have been promoting pesticides, which has at least solved the problem of insect pests. Especially large landowners can afford pesticides, which has increased the yield of their fields. Although they have paid more taxes, they have not actually suffered much loss. This has led to fewer scholar-bureaucrats. Somewhat complaining.

The new party was victorious, and the old party was naturally not to be far behind. At that moment, Lu Dafang came out and said: "I have informed the officials that Kaifeng City has implemented universal education. Now there is widespread acclaim, bringing the civil governance of the Song Dynasty to its peak. The old ministers implore the officials to promote this system to Cities in the world.”

The old party members all agreed. Most of the old party members were conservatives. Now that the new party's reforms were in full swing, the old party naturally could not fall behind. The best way was to implement the Song Dynasty's civil rule.

Hearing this, Cai Jing angrily rebuked: "Do you know how much money Kaifeng City spends every year to promote education for all? If we want to promote education for all in Zhucheng throughout the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that even gold and silver cannot fill this hole."

Doctors promoting free pregnancy tests only pay doctors some consultation fees, which does not cost much, but free education in cities all over the world is not a small sum, from land to classrooms to recruitment of wives, even Kaifeng City is the capital of the world. The good land can still be maintained. If it is promoted to the world, I am afraid that the [-]% tax that the Ministry of Revenue has just increased will not be able to bear it.

"Yes, now that the threat of Liaoxia has not been eliminated, the Ministry of Household's money still has many uses and cannot be misappropriated easily." Zhang Dun frowned.

According to Zhang Dun's plan, this extra [-]% of taxes will strengthen the military strength of the Song Dynasty. In the future great detour strategy, it will increase the strength of the Song Dynasty, destroy Xixia in one fell swoop, defeat the Liao Kingdom, and conquer the sixteen states of Yanyun. , to completely eliminate foreign aggression, but they did not expect that the old party was also eyeing this money.

Yang Wei smiled slightly and said: "I heard that the Royal Bank's deposits have exceeded [-] million yuan. Even a little leakage is enough to establish compulsory education in all cities across the country."

"Twenty million guan!"

The officials couldn't help but be surprised. They didn't expect that in just a few months, the number of deposits in the Royal Bank had doubled, reaching [-] million yuan!
The Song Dynasty threatened the Liao Kingdom from the sea, allowing the Liao Kingdom to retreat without a fight, and defeated Xixia, causing many wealthy locals who took money to lose a lot of profits. There was a huge increase, and many people deposited their money in the Royal Bank.

Fan Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Yang Yushi is indeed well-informed. The Royal Bank's deposits have just exceeded [-] million yuan. However, these money are not the money of the imperial court, but the money of the people all over the world, and Fan cannot use it."

Lu Dafang couldn't help but frown. If word spread that the imperial court directly used the Royal Bank's money, it would definitely cause panic among the people, and the consequences would be even more serious than when Liao and Xia jointly attacked the Song Dynasty.

Fan Zheng changed his words and said: "However, the centenary plan is based on education, and Fan will naturally support it. If the imperial court issues education national bonds, Fan can make the decision. As long as the annual interest rate is three percent, all the bonds will be accepted by the Royal Bank."

"Education is the foundation!"

In the court, everyone in the old party nodded slightly. Although Fan Zheng liked to use evil methods, no one doubted his literary talent.

"Three percent interest!"

More officials were very interested in the annual interest rate of [-]%. The imperial government generally issued treasury bonds at [-]%, and the interest deposited by the people was also up to [-]%. Based on this calculation, the Royal Bank did not make any money.

"Fan Taicheng is righteous!" Lu Dafang said a rare compliment to Fan Zheng.

Fan Zheng smiled slightly, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Now the money deposited by the Royal Bank suddenly increased by tens of millions, but private loans did not increase exponentially. Fan Zheng was worried about how to solve the problem.

Fortunately, at this time, the old party jumped out and prepared to go all out to promote education in the city and achieve a great cause, but they lacked money, which coincided with Fan Zheng's worries. Otherwise, Fan Zheng would have to ask the Royal Bank to cut interest rates again to maintain balance of payments.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly. The Song Dynasty governed the country with culture. With Kaifeng City as a template, it would be of great benefit to promote full education. In addition, with the education national debt, it would not affect the imperial court's plans.

At this moment, Zhao Xu no longer objected and said loudly: "Yes!"

"Thank you, the official!"

The old party cheered from top to bottom.

Cai Jing twitched his lips. Fan Zheng underwrote the education national debt, which reduced the interest pressure. The old party had a lot of money and was preparing to implement its education ambitions. However, this education national debt may still fall on the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"I am reporting to the officials that the number of foals in the court's racecourse has increased significantly. In two years at most, it will be able to provide the court with [-] war horses every year!"

"Eunuch Tong has received news from overseas that there are many countries in the South China Sea that are willing to become vassal states of the Song Dynasty. I would like to ask the officials to make a decision."

"Li Qianshun, the Young Emperor of Xixia, sent an envoy again, requesting to resume negotiations with the Song Dynasty!"

........................

As exciting memorials were reported one after another, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel excited.

Once upon a time, when he first took office, the entire Song Dynasty was in ruins, the old and new parties were in opposition, and the foreign Liao and Xia were pressing harder.

Now that he has only been in power for four years, the Song Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes. After the death of his father, the abandoned new law was re-implemented. The partisanship between the old and new parties was effectively controlled. Externally, he defeated Liaoxia one after another and achieved unprecedented success. Great victory.

And the first credit for all this is undoubtedly Fan Zheng.

"My father has Wang Anshi as a confidant, and I have Fan Zheng." Zhao Xu said proudly in his heart. In his opinion, Fan Zheng is far more important than the stubborn Wang Anshi.

He read through the history books and found that when Shenzong and Wang Anshi got along, Wang Anshi, who had a stubborn personality, often insisted on his own opinion, while Shenzong had to compromise.

It was even easier for him to get along with Fan Zheng. Although Fan Zheng's love for coming up with evil remedies was unexpected, the surprise that his evil remedies could cure diseases made him unable to refuse.

At that moment, Zhao Xu was full of pride and said loudly: "The reform of the Song Dynasty has been basically completed. I want to implement the great detour strategy, first destroy Xixia, and then recover the sixteen states of Yanyun."

In an instant, the court was shocked, and everyone looked at Zhao Xu without shock.
