Honglou: I really didn't want to rebel

What's more, Hong Qing looked at Jia Cong like this,

It's not like he can give up on Empress Xiao...

It's not a bad thing to have two more in the future,

Although I can't be a queen, and I can't see the light justifiably,

But there is no need to worry about any open and hidden arrows anymore, just stick to the rules and maintain a virtuous reputation

Jia Cong asked softly:

"Your Majesty has never had a son, isn't it okay?".

Chapter 820 Seventh, the entire ruling class is not dead? !

No matter in which dynasty or generation,

There are 'no' emperors,

There are even some emperors who are very benevolent, love the people and work hard.

But it is because of not having a son that there are all kinds of sufferings.

In the world of Dream of the Red Chamber,

It seems that this is the case throughout the senior class,

Many people say that this is a sign of prosperity and decline,

After all, there is a saying that there is a gentleman's luster, and he will be killed for five generations.

But in Jia Cong's view,

This is Cao Gong's helplessness and emotion in a certain aspect.

Because the original book only described the decline of the Jia family in detail,

It stands to reason that with the status and scenery of the Jia family,

It can't be that the offspring are not prosperous.

But now that Jia Cong has come to this world,

Suddenly found that it was not just the Jia family,

This is true of other founding lineages and even royal families,

There's something wrong with that,

Especially these families who hold real power,

Want to marry a woman with a big butt but can't?

Why can't you have a son?

When Hong Qing heard Jia Cong's words, he was stunned for a moment,

Then he shook his head and said:

"How is it possible? Your Majesty let a beautiful court lady sleep a few days ago. But it is also strange. It seems that after the capital was moved here, not only Your Majesty, but also the other royal families did not have many children. Even if there were, most of them died young."

"Why is the fifth prince's child so influential? It's because the royal family hasn't had any children in the past two years. It's not just you and me who are surprised by this matter, even the clan's family has broken their hearts. Now the first prince and the second prince are thinking about it in a daze. Fasting, every night will be delivered to women."

Jia Cong's mouth twitched,

Is this fucking too much? !

Is this for going in and being punished?

Even being a tool man to carry on the family line is a bit too happy, right? !

But even if there are offspring,

It is impossible to hang in their names,

Instead, it was adopted under the names of other royal children.

Jia Cong pondered for a while,

A thought popped up suddenly, could it be that the geomantic omen in Kyoto is not good?

To know this era,

But there are imperial doctors who specialize in worrying about 'these things' for the royal family,

What they study is how to make the emperor and other royal families have more sons!

But over the years, fewer and fewer babies have been born,

There must be something to say in it!

Jia Cong pondered for a while but couldn't figure out why,

He must not be the only one investigating this matter.

I am afraid that the clan's mansion, Emperor Longzheng and even the Supreme Emperor have checked it.

Jia Cong thought for a while,

He got up and shouted outside:

"Bao Yong!"

"exist!"

Bao Yong trotted in all the way, clasped his fists and said:

"My lord, what are your orders?!"

"Go to Jinyiwei to transfer people, and give me a survey of the whole city. The number of babies born in recent years, every year and every month, will be recorded for me. Take my token and go to the Wucheng Bingma Division to ask them to cooperate. Then go to various county government offices to investigate household registration."

After Jia Cong finished speaking, he took off the badge of the Commander of Jinyiwei who was carrying him,

This token may not be very useful in other places,

But it is really a 'spirit card' in Kyoto!

Any official looks trembling!

Bao Yong grinned with a big mouth, as if he had been greatly reused,

At this moment he knew,

He is already a very important confidant to Jia Cong!

Watching Bao Yong float away,

Jia Cong shook his head with a smile and said:

"If there is a problem of low birth rate in the whole city, then it is not a small problem. Count. No matter what, this matter must be investigated."

If only the royal family and various families have this problem, then there should be some kind of secret secret behind it.

"I'm going to get married in two years, and I don't want to have children by then. This matter is not a trivial matter. I think His Majesty will agree, and even agree with it? After all, this matter is Benefit the country and the people!"

Hearing what Jia Cong said,

Hong Qing also laughed out loud,

To investigate the birth rate of babies, do you still need Jinyiwei to search the whole city?

Just go directly to each yamen to transfer household registration!

It doesn't even need a few thousand households to come forward,

Those hundreds of households can be called out in the past.

Jia Cong obviously wanted to use the investigation to do something,

But it's really a good excuse to find (baca),

After all, Jia Cong really wants to get married in two years.

And Emperor Longzheng, other royal children and nobles from various families will support it!

descendants,

But the people of this era,

Especially what men care about the most!

The two had another conversation before Hong Qing took his leave and left.

It is impossible for him to wait for Jia Cong and Jiamu to enter the palace together.

You have to go back first.

Jia Cong sat alone in Rongxi Hall for a while,

I'm about to keep thinking about it.

Ping'er opened the curtain and came in.

said with a smile:

"Master, the old lady's preparations are almost ready, and they will come out in a while. And just now, Uncle Jiao asked someone to come over and ask, saying that the master craftsman who inspected at Dating Lake thought that the underground lead pipes were not good. It happened to be changed together, so I asked the master whether to change the lead pipe or the cement pipe?"

Jia Cong's head slammed,

I stuttered a bit when I spoke.

"You, what are you talking about? Lead pipes?! When were they buried?! How many lead pipes are there? What are they for?!"

Ping'er said strangely:

"I don't know, but it seems that I heard that the lead pipes were changed during the renovation before the capital was moved. But I don't know if it is true or not, maybe it is true. These lead pipes were rare at the beginning, and only the palace and the princes Mansions are affordable, they are all used for drainage or water transportation. But it’s not too much, after all, the drainage pipes for people like us are also buried in the servants’ side.”

Jia Cong stared at Ping'er dumbfounded,

My mind is in turmoil,

In this environment, the people of the ruling class are still alive?

Excessive lead content is not just infertility,

It will also cause great damage to human internal organs!

These lead pipes are for drainage,

However, the discharged water finally entered the ground!

Jia Cong took a few breaths.

After closing his eyes and meditating for a while, he opened them and said:

"Go and tell Uncle Jiao to ask those craftsmen to dig out all the lead pipes in the entire East and West Mansion! Replace them all with cement pipes, and don't keep a single one! Just say that these lead pipes are not good, Zhuangzi outside our city Just produce cement pipes, and change them at will!"

Ping'er was surprised and said:

"My lord, but what's wrong with the lead pipe?"

"It's a small matter, just change it. Don't say anything, just do what I say. Remember, all the lead utensils in the house are not kept, and they are all taken away with excuses. Don't be noticed that something is wrong. In the future, the master of the family The food is the same as that of the old lady!"

Pinger nodded,

Hastily went out to order,

Although Jia Cong didn't say anything, she also guessed that there must be a lot of trouble.

But Jia Cong narrowed his eyes and thought:

"It turned out to be the fault of the lead pipes. No wonder there are not many strong children in each family. The power of each family will be weakened again and again. This is a good thing!".

.To survive in this environment, it is a blessing not to die!but just keep going

Chapter 820 Eighth Minister, Meet the Empress!

Lead poisoning can be big or small,

When the poisoning is slight, the effect is not big,

But if the lead index exceeds the standard,

Infertility is minimal impact ~!

The most serious one can even make people's internal organs-failure

Jia Cong hurriedly called for someone to chase Bao Yong,
