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

"I am a sinner of the Song Dynasty!"

In the Imperial Medical Office! Zhang Youniang muttered to herself that she couldn't believe it, as if she had been struck by lightning.

She devoted her life to women's reproductive issues, and now she finally achieved something in her later years. With the help of Fan Zheng, she established a maternal and child hospital. This was something she was proud of in her life.

However, Zhang Youniang was not happy for too long, but she discovered that the female doctor's great improvement in medical skills did not seem to be a good thing.

With the substantial progress in the medical skills of female doctors and the breakthrough in infertility technology, the great increase in the birth rate and survival rate of babies will bring about a population crisis in the Song Dynasty. When one thinks that because of the advancement in the medical skills of female doctors, the population of the Song Dynasty may reach ten in a hundred years. Absolutely, even she couldn't help but be shocked by it.

All the doctors couldn't help but look at each other. Although this matter was outrageous, it seemed to be a fact. The advancement of female medical technology had greatly increased the birth rate, which would definitely bring a population explosion crisis to the Song Dynasty within a hundred years.

Yang Jie smiled bitterly and said: "If Dr. Zhang is a sinner, then we who cure diseases and save people also increase the population, aren't we also sinners?"

Other doctors also smiled bitterly. As doctors, they are not illiterate ordinary people. They have no doubts about Fan Zheng's point of view. If the population of the Song Dynasty continues to grow disorderly at the current rate, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty will soon be overwhelmed. , starting a new round of dynasty reincarnation.

The main culprit of all this is the progress of doctors.

"Medical skills are not guilty. Doctors treat diseases and save people. This is the bounden duty of doctors and they are also not guilty!" Fan Zheng saw that the doctors began to doubt themselves, and he immediately strengthened his faith for all the doctors.

"But the sudden rise of doctors did indeed cause a population imbalance in the Song Dynasty!" Qian Yi said solemnly.

Although the development of the Song Dynasty was slow, all developments were relatively balanced. However, the sudden rise of doctors broke this balance. The rise of doctors allowed more people to be treated, and it also started a population explosion.

Zhang Youniang took a deep breath and said: "The medical community is booming and they have successively conquered all kinds of medical skills. However, with the advancement of medical skills, there is a terminal disease that makes doctors all over the world helpless, and that is tumors!"

"Tumor!"

Suddenly, all the doctors were shocked. Nowadays, tumors are the most stubborn disease faced by doctors. Even famous doctors talk about tumors with disdain.

"The technological advancement of female doctors is destined to cause a dramatic increase in the population. In other words, the moment female doctors were born, the Song Dynasty was already suffering from tumors. The explosion of the population is like the disorderly growth of tumors, constantly absorbing the human body's nutrients. Nutrients eventually brought down the Song Dynasty and caused the patient to die as thin as a stick." Zhang Youniang said sadly.

"A lineage of female doctors caused Da Song to suffer from tumors?"

Fan Zheng couldn't help but be silent. Although Zhang Youniang's words were pessimistic, from a medical point of view, they were not unreasonable. The rise of medical families, especially the rise of female doctors, was a carcinogen in the Song Dynasty.

Of course, just like the human body, there are many kinds of tumors. However, although the Song Dynasty still had stubborn problems such as redundant soldiers, redundant officials, redundant expenses, land annexation, etc., the threat of the population explosion is now the most obvious, the most rapid, and the harm is huge.

"Blessings lie where misfortune lies, and misfortune lies where blessings rely! Only now do I understand the truth of this statement." Qian Yi sighed.

Once upon a time, everyone in the medical family was excited about the great success of the medical family. The Song Dynasty was also excited about the population exceeding 10 million. However, after Fan Zheng's reminder, everyone realized that the population crisis in the Song Dynasty was coming, and they couldn't help pouring money on the doctors. A basin of cold water.

Yang Jie suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Although tumors are terminal diseases, with the current medical skills of doctors, tumors are not incurable."

The eyes of all the doctors lit up and they immediately looked at Yang Jie.

With the advancement of doctors' medical skills, various types of tumors have been discovered. Doctors are helpless in the face of tumors and can only watch patients being killed by tumors.

Yang Jie solemnly said: "As Dr. Zhang said, tumors are disordered growths in the human body. They are integrated with the human body and cannot be cured by current medicine. However, these tumors spread from point to surface. If they can be detected in advance, When the tumor is still small, we can directly use surgery to remove it by root and then suture it, which is very likely to cure the tumor and extend the patient's life at the latest."

"Treat tumors with surgery!"

The eyes of all the doctors brightened up. This was indeed a method.

"There is no perfect way for everyone. Surgery is indeed Hua Tuo's unique skill. It has such wonderful effects!"

Qian Yi exclaimed.

The sudden rise of surgery is not without reason, and it has gradually become half of the medical field. Surgery has found a solution to tumors that traditional Chinese medicine has been unable to deal with.

"This is the only method, but the conditions are still extremely harsh, and only a few patients can be cured by luck." An imperial physician said pessimistically.

In this era, there are not many advanced examination equipment, and it is difficult to detect tumors in advance. Unless there is suspicion, surgery is performed and the tumors are removed, then it is possible to cure the tumors.

Fan Zheng continued: "Tumors have just been discovered. It is already rare to find a cure for this terminal disease. However, Fan believes that with the further advancement of medical technology in the future, doctors will surely find a way to overcome tumors."

All the doctors nodded in agreement. After all, the medical family was developing rapidly, which made the doctors more confident.

But Zhang Youniang said pessimistically: "Surgery can indeed remove tumors. However, the population of the Song Dynasty increased dramatically, and those are living people! Can they be removed like tumors and discarded like shoes?"

The doctors and everyone were silent for a moment. This is the most difficult problem of the population problem. Those are living people who cannot be separated from them no matter what.

Fan Zhengyi gritted his teeth and said: "A baby that is successfully born can be regarded as a human being. It will be protected by the laws of the Song Dynasty from the moment it is born. If the baby is not yet born, strictly speaking, it cannot be considered a real human being."

"what!"

Suddenly all the doctors looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief. As doctors, how could they not know what Fan Zheng meant.

"Brother Fan, think twice. As soon as these words came out, the whole world was in an uproar and it would damage Brother Fan's reputation." Yang Jie quickly advised.

Fan Zheng smiled helplessly and said: "Fan has been called an evil doctor by the world, so what reputation can he have? The population of the Song Dynasty has reached tens of millions. With such a large base and the development of fertility medicine, the population explosion has occurred. It is a foregone conclusion that if you want to cure this stubborn disease, in addition to seeking more land for the people of the Song Dynasty, you must control the disorderly growth of the population. Otherwise, no matter how much land you have, it will be difficult to satisfy the explosive growth of the population. Doctors must develop contraception. The art of medicine and even the art of abortion.”

"The art of contraception!"     "The art of abortion!"

Hearing Fan Zheng's words, all the doctors couldn't help but sigh. Fan Zheng finally revealed this evil prescription.

Although from a medical point of view, they can understand Fan Zheng's medical prescription, if it spreads to the outside world, it will definitely cause an uproar. After all, according to the traditional concept, having more children and more happiness is the mainstream, but Fan Zheng studies medical prescriptions to make the people have fewer children. Have a baby.

"The art of contraception!"

Zhang Youniang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Once upon a time, the female doctors were overjoyed to conquer infertility and fertility medicine. However, they were not happy for a few days when the female doctors continued to study contraceptive techniques. Wouldn't this have wiped out all the previous efforts of the female doctors? .

Fan Zheng didn't know what Zhang Youniang was thinking, so he comforted him: "No, no matter whether it is the advancement of fertility medicine or the study of contraceptive medicine, there is only one purpose, and that is to put the right of choice in the hands of people, so that they can have as many children as they want. Just a few children. For the entire Song Dynasty, the population explosion will bring down the Song Dynasty, but for a family, if the population also increases dramatically, is it a good thing?"

Many doctors shook their heads solemnly. Although the people of the Song Dynasty believed in having more children, they would be blessed, but everyone knew that going too far was still not enough.

"You are all doctors. You should have seen many women giving birth to more than ten children in their lifetime. Do they have to give birth to so many children voluntarily?" Fan Zheng asked rhetorically.

Everyone knows that it is quite difficult to raise children, especially for poor families. Unless you are a wealthy family, the cost of raising more than ten children is enough to crush an upper-income family.

"Leave aside the traditional bad habit of favoring sons over daughters, it is already the limit for an ordinary family to support four children. If the first three are all boys, I am afraid no one will want to have a fourth child." Yang Jie's expression changed.

Other doctors also nodded. Regarding the matter of having children, it is also a matter of drought and flood. Many infertile families are struggling to have a child, while many families are struggling to have too many children. And worry.

However, before that, people could not control whether to have children or not, so the fertility situation of different families became polarized.

"In this way, contraceptive medical technology is very necessary. We are not killing lives, but giving families with many children a chance to choose, so that an ordinary family will fall into poverty due to having too many children; it will also contribute to the future population explosion. Put on the shackles in advance to avoid uncontrolled population growth and a population crisis in the Song Dynasty." Fan Zheng said loudly.

Seeing this, all the doctors nodded solemnly.

Nowadays, the population of the Song Dynasty exceeds 10 million, and the population base is already very large. It is indeed necessary to develop contraceptive medicine. Otherwise, once the population gets out of control, it will be too late to curb it.

Not to mention, doctors develop contraceptive technology to allow people all over the world to choose voluntarily, especially for families who already have many children, so as to avoid making the already poor families worse off.

Zhang Youniang nodded slightly. After Fan Zheng's enlightenment, this contraceptive medical technique was of great use, which made her feel slightly less guilty.

"Nowadays, female doctors have figured out the best time for pregnancy. On the contrary, outside the best time for pregnancy, it is a safe period. Of course, using this method for contraception is not accurate, and it is easy to misjudge." Zhang Youniang thought for a while and came up with a contraceptive method. The way of law.

Qian Yi nodded and said: "Although using safe periods for contraception is risky, it is better than having no method at all. As for other contraceptive technologies, doctors can continue to study them."

Fan Zheng suddenly said: "Actually, it's not that there are no effective contraceptive technologies in this world, it's just that we didn't pay attention."

"Please give me some advice from Fan Taicheng." Zhang Youniang couldn't help but her eyes lit up. If the Song Dynasty itself had contraceptive technology, it would be enough to save the line of female doctors from making many detours.

Fan Zheng said loudly: "Now the Song Dynasty has opened up the Maritime Silk Road, but during the Han and Tang Dynasties, the land Silk Road was prevalent. On the Silk Road in the Western Regions, the most important means of transportation was camels, and Silk Road merchants relied on them. Carrying heavy cargo and traveling long distances, the Silk Road is so long that it can take a year or two, and the camels will also be in heat, which is quite dangerous."

Pang Jizu nodded and said, he studied veterinary medicine and was naturally quite aware of the dangers of animals in heat.

"What's more important is that once a female camel often gets pregnant on the way, not only can she no longer be able to bear the goods, but the transportation will also be delayed due to pregnancy and childbirth. Some smart businessmen came up with a way to put some smooth stones into the uterus of the female camel. In this way, the camels will not become pregnant and delay the Silk Road transportation."

"Is this happening?" Zhang Youniang suddenly said in surprise.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "This is a research direction. If the line of female doctors can use this as a breakthrough, they can develop a birth control tool that can be placed and taken out and suitable for the human body to provide birth control for women in the world who do not want to have more children."

Pang Jizu stood up and said, "The veterinarians are willing to assist female doctors in researching this contraceptive method."

"On behalf of all the women in the world, I would like to thank Fan Taicheng for his guidance! Thank you Dr. Pang for your help." Zhang Youniang said with tears of gratitude.

As a woman, she naturally knows the pain of childbirth, especially for some women with easy-to-pregnant constitutions. Their best time is spent on pregnancy and childbirth. If women in the world can successfully prevent pregnancy, once a woman has given birth to enough With children, women will have complete control over their own bodies.

Fan Zheng continued: "There are also some risks in using external force. In addition, there are certain contraceptive techniques in brothels and palaces, which can also be used as a reference for doctors' medical skills."

"The brothel and the palace!"

All the doctors couldn't help but twitch their mouths. Fan Zheng's prescription was indeed evil.

However, Fan Zheng's method is indeed the most effective. Women in brothels use their bodies to make a living, so naturally they will not get pregnant easily. They are the first people to adopt contraceptive technology since ancient times. Doctors can study the contraceptive technology in brothels, and it may not be impossible to crack it. Come up with contraceptive remedies.

The imperial palace also had contraceptive technology. It is said that after the emperor visited his concubine, if he did not want her to become pregnant, he would say no, and the eunuchs would give her a soup to avoid pregnancy, or use special methods to prevent the concubine from getting pregnant.

Otherwise, the number of beauties in the emperor's harem is 3,000, and if there is no certain method of contraception, I am afraid that the number of princes and princesses in the past dynasties will explode.

After Fan Zheng's detailed analysis, the hesitation in Zhang Youniang's heart slowly came to an end.

"Please rest assured, Fan Taicheng, the line of female doctors will definitely atone for their sins and find the most suitable contraceptive method for the women of the Song Dynasty." Zhang Youniang said solemnly.

Fan Zheng comforted him: "Doctor Zhang, don't be impatient. Moderate population growth is also good for the Song Dynasty, and there will still be a certain amount of time before the population explodes. I believe that the line of female doctors will be able to develop truly effective methods." With contraceptive medicine, the Song Dynasty will truly be able to control its own destiny!"

All the doctors nodded.

Now that doctors have medical skills such as caesarean section, if they can control the art of contraception, the Song Dynasty will completely control the population growth rate, and the population crisis will become an opportunity for the Song Dynasty. (End of chapter)
