golden scales

Zhu Cihong continued: "I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have extraordinary intelligence, and I don't have the luck to make my dreams come true. If you want to be loyal to Ming Dynasty, loyal to Huaxia, filial to your parents, and create a world for your children in your lifetime, you can only use ' Do your best'. Anyone can say these two words, but why are there so few people who can do it?

"Because people will always be swayed by various emotions, exhausting energy, lazy limbs, forgetting their goals, and confusing current tasks. This is the reason why most people are mediocre. They think they are doing their best, but in fact they are just doing their best. After being influenced by emotions, I just made excuses for myself.

"My expectations for you are not low, and I have high expectations for all the attendants, servants, civil servants, and generals around me. I sincerely hope that you can be independent and mature, and be a capable person who is not influenced by emotions, not mediocrity A mediocre person who is busy eating and waiting to die."

Zhu Cihong lightly tapped his temples, and said: "The gap between people's brains is very small, especially after adulthood. Where is the gap? It lies in the ability to control emotions. Many champions gradually fade away after their success for a while. Being silent and disappearing from the crowd is precisely because of the lack of this ability."

Lu Suyao was fascinated and intoxicated when she heard it, as if she was enlightened.

"Now my emotions tell me that I should go back and guard the door as an idler. My rationality tells me that I should do what I should and can do. In this case, what choice do you think I should make?" Zhu Cihong is like a good teacher, following the instructions carefully and kindly.

"Your Highness should stay!" Lu Suyao said firmly.

Zhu Cihong nodded with a slightly appreciative smile.

Lu Suyao felt as if she was under the warm sunshine, she was suddenly moved, and she could hardly control her tears: His Royal Highness is really as brave as the cold water and the bright sun, and he lives up to his ambition, a so-called great man!

……

On the issue of "great man", not everyone agrees with Lu Suyao's opinion.

For example, Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhonggong Zhou didn't think so.

Zhu Cihong's "returning to ancestors" made Chongzhen both proud and sad.Starting from Emperor Taichang.The imperial family has obviously washed away the legacy of Taizu and Chengzu, and has successfully transformed into a warm and homely type!

Why is there another workaholic like Taizu!

"When he was born back then, didn't I wait outside from the beginning to the end!" Chong Zhen was so angry that his beard was messed up after he got the family letter that Zhu Cilang said he couldn't come back.

Zhou Hou frowned, and said: "Now that the territory has been restored, why do you have to stay in Fujian for so long? Even such a major event as Yuanzi's birth has to be put aside?"

Chongzhen still stood up angrily.In a blink of an eye, I saw a glass globe tributed by Jingshi University. I really wanted to lift it up and smash it on the ground, but I couldn't bear it from the bottom of my heart.

The main body of this globe is blown out of glass, and the interior is painted with asphalt, and then the "continent" and "island" are carved out by craftsmen with a knife, just like the shape of the map of the world.Then it was corroded with Song Yingxing's newly synthesized fluoric acid to stabilize its shape, and finally the asphalt was removed to obtain this rare artwork.

It's just because of the craft problem now.It is not possible to close the sphere, so the north and south poles are just used to install the bracket.

Chongzhen couldn't put it down because of the crystal clear globe. If it wasn't because the craftsmanship was too complicated, he even hoped to put one in the Wuying Hall and the Qianqing Palace.Now because there is only one statue, I have to let the servants hold it and go with others.

He pressed his hand on the globe and turned it gently, looking for a large piece of land representing Ming Dynasty.Although there are no colors on the globe, there are no national boundaries.But Chongzhen has been able to identify the location of Daming through the coastline.

"Here, he wants to conquer here." Chongzhen pointed to a leaf-shaped island outside the mainland.It is Taiwan.

Zhou Hou took a closer look and said, "It doesn't look small."

"It is said that it is the second largest island in my dynasty." Chongzhen used "it is said", and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, thinking of his son's insistence on this "homeland of China".

"Where is the largest island?" Zhou Hou's curiosity was aroused.

Chongzhen gently turned the globe, pointed to the extreme north, and said, "Here. Kuwu Island."

"It looks quite long. Is this the territory of Nuer Gandusi?" Zhou Hou was suddenly a little scared: "Brother Chun is not going to fight all the way to this Kuwu Island? Is there anyone living there?"

"My Ming Dynasty has two guards on this island." Chongzhen said, "It's the place of restraint."

Zhou Hou knew that people came to seal the place of detention, and he didn't need his son to go there by himself, so he finally felt relieved, and said: "What's good about Taiwan Island?"

Chongzhen choked for a moment.He does not know the benefits of Taiwan.And with his strategic vision, he couldn't understand how important it was to be "close to the Pacific Ocean".As for the words of "inheriting Japan from above and Luzon from below", Chongzhen also couldn't understand: those two island countries are both famous for their barrenness-oh, Japan has heard that there is a lot of silver...but it is still a barren culture outside.

"Perhaps there is an excellent opportunity." Chongzhen paused: "It's been too long since I, Ming Dynasty, have expanded my territory. Since Brother Chun is determined to fight, I will fight. It is said that there are only a few thousand red people on the island. Mao Fan, it should be easy to catch."

Zhou Hou finally let go of his son's safety, but he was still worried about his son not coming to welcome his grandson.If it's a daughter, that's fine. If it's a son, then according to the rules, he's the grandson of the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

"No, I have to go to Zhongcui Palace to have a look." Zhou Hou got up and said, "I don't know if the delivery room has been set up. This is a matter of life and death."

The delivery room of the Crown Princess was designed by Tai Hospital and Major General Yu Chang, a military doctor, after she was diagnosed with pregnancy, and finally Zhu Cihong personally finalized the design.

Before that, the Lingtai had to be located first, and a place was found near the apse of Zhongcui Palace.According to the design specifications, this "small house" with a length of three feet and a width of three feet is completely made of calcined cement mixed with iron bars, and poured without using a single brick or wood.

The entire cement house is clad with bricks on the outside, and tiles are glued on six sides inside.These tiles are specially fired in official kilns. The wall tiles are thin and slippery, and the floor tiles are made of thick tires to prevent slipping.

The tiles on the top spell out the pattern of Avalokitesvara giving away a child, the ground is a jade lotus lifted up, and the four walls are pictures of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren, all of which are excellent omens.

Because they were worried that the cement would not be viscous enough, they still used the old method of blending the cement with glutinous rice juice and sugar water to increase the viscosity and ensure that the tiles would not fall off.

The entire project may seem small, but considering that the construction can only be started when the Crown Princess is out for a walk, and it is all precision handicraft work, the construction period is not short.

Glass windows are used in the delivery room to ensure daylighting.At the same time, in order to prevent the crown princess from giving birth at night, whale oil was specially prepared.Although this kind of oil works well, whales, as sea monsters, are not within the traditional Chinese hunting range, so using whale oil is only a stopgap measure.

Although Zhu Cilang knew that this kind of bio-oil supported the United States through the industrial age, it was not gradually replaced by oil until the middle and late nineteenth century.However, China's "respect for heaven" is not just talk. Even the bold and avant-garde Confucian scholars have a deep respect for nature.

When Queen Zhou arrived in the delivery room, she happened to meet Yu Chang in military uniform and a middle-aged scribe coming out of the delivery room, followed by a Taoist priest.This combination is too eye-catching, and it was immediately caught in the eyes of Queen Zhou.

The three of them came forward to pay respects, among them Yu Chang was already an acquaintance in the palace, and a famous doctor who was proficient in treatise on febrile disease was suddenly forced to become a master of gynecology.

"This Guo Zhenren is the real master of gynecology in Ming Dynasty." Yu Chang first introduced the Taoist priest, who is the crown prince's close friend and Fu Shan's master Guo Jingzhong.

Although Empress Zhou believed in Buddhas and Bodhisattvas more in her heart, because her husband and son believed in it, and the Taoist leader also looked like a fairy, she liked her a lot.I was just secretly curious why a Taoist priest would become a master of gynecology.

"This is Professor Wu Youxing of Xinglin University." Yu Chang introduced again: "Professor Wu is well-versed in bacteria and epidemic prevention techniques."

"How dare you." Wu Youxing said modestly, "I have also read the works of His Highness the Crown Prince, and I have gained a little."

Empress Zhou already knew that many gynecological diseases were caused by small bugs like bacteria, especially in childbirth. Many newborns died because of bacteria.

This is what my son said, and it is definitely not wrong.

"With three masters of traditional Chinese medicine in charge, I can feel at ease." Zhou Hou nodded frequently.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, from obstetricians to nurses, they are all experienced and well-known people." Yu Chang said.

Zhou Hou squeezed out a smile and nodded.

Originally, there were special women in the palace who were in charge of delivering babies, but Xinglin University has an independent department of obstetrics and gynecology, and the first batch of professors and teachers used these people.

Facts have proved that this approach is very wise.

Because these queen women lacked experience in delivering babies, their practical operations were not as good as those of the more famous women in the Ming Dynasty, so staying in the palace was really a waste of life.On the other hand, they have many rules and a lot of theory, and some traditions also coincide with the theory of bacteria, so they are just used as teachers.

"Even if things don't go well after childbirth, we've already made enough preparations." Yu Chang is straightforward, and in the entire history of China, he is the one who has the best medical skills but is not liked by others. He is really "unscrupulous".

"Not only were suture needles and threads specially prepared, and skilled nurses performed the needles. They also invited the blood of the Crown Princess, and found more than a dozen people with matching blood types. If postpartum bleeding continues, blood transfusions can be used for immediate treatment. "Yu Chang said.

Zhou Hou was terrified when he heard it, but because his grandson's safety was involved, he still asked, "Is blood transfusion reliable?"

"There are countless lives in the army using this method, so it must be reliable." Yu Chang added: "This method was also created by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

——What the son made must be fine.

After a week, I finally felt relieved, and pointed to the delivery room and asked, "What are they still doing?"

"I'm looking at the cooling effect of the air conditioner." Yu Chang said, "I'm afraid the heat has not subsided during childbirth, and the heat poison remains."

"It's so thoughtful." Zhou Hou reassured.

Yu Chang was also very pleased.

Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the design of the operating room and consulting room in the future will be based on this delivery room. (To be continued..)
