Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 795 Fertility Strategies
Of course, shouting "Come on" is useless. As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, he must make some improvements.

Previously, a national general hospital in the capital had been established. Later, at the request of Tianfu, a national general hospital was also established.And where construction started, ten-year and 50-year plans were already in place.

The ten-year plan refers to waiting for the Daming National General Hospital in the two capitals to open for a period of time. After summarizing experience, one such public hospital will be established in every province within ten years.

The 50-year plan is to allow the national general hospitals to train as many doctors as possible under the condition that the national treasury is full of financial resources.Then, relying on these doctors, strive to establish a Daming National General Hospital in every prefecture and county.

From this, Emperor Chongzhen thought of a method related to childbirth, and immediately issued an imperial edict.

This matter, which is closely related to the lives of the people, spread immediately.

"Have you heard that the emperor has issued a new decree, which is related to Wenpo!"

"What is the purpose, it has something to do with Mrs. Wen? Could it be that the emperor will impart knowledge related to Mrs. Wen?"

"..."

The reason why they discussed it this way was that in their impression, Emperor Chongzhen was almost omnipotent and omniscient.

The emperor not only knows how to lead troops to fight, and is invincible; he also knows that he came up with the steam engine from the aspect of boiling water, so that the steam train that is running on the ground now has something to do with the skills of many craftsmen!There are other, even many aspects, the emperor has published books, such as chemistry, physics, analytic geometry, etc., there are too many, even those Xiyi admire the emperor's knowledge very much.

Therefore, in the eyes of the people in the capital, it is not surprising if the emperor still knows about Wenpo.Although it seems disrespectful to the emperor to say so, that's what they think.

"Listen to me, the notice from the imperial court said that the emperor issued an order to the provinces, requesting the provinces to invite well-known women in the province, and let them brainstorm and tell all the best methods of delivering babies. After summarizing, they will be reported to the imperial court. "

"Hey, this is a great thing! If those Wen women really tell more about their unique skills so that more people can learn it, it will be a blessing to one side, and the merits will be immeasurable! But...but those Wen women will be willing. Is it?"

"Of course I do, I definitely do!"

"Impossible. If they are willing, others will learn their unique skills in the future. If they don't have a unique business, others will not invite them, and the money will be less!"

"Nonsense, if it's just like this, of course not many of them would be willing. However, the emperor has a decree. As long as there is indeed a unique skill that belongs to an individual woman, then this woman will be awarded the title of master. Those who have achieved the title will receive the royal salary!"

"Is it true? Your Majesty is truly wise and mighty. This method really benefits all living beings. It is a great merit!"

"Wait, there's more! The emperor also said in the decree that after the unique skills of stable women from all over the country are collected and reviewed by the emperor, they will be implemented nationwide. All married women can learn from lectures. If the assessment If you pass the certificate, you will be issued a stable wife’s certificate, and you can do the midwife business. On the contrary, if you don’t have the stable wife’s certificate, you can’t deliver babies!”

"Oh, is that so? I can't wait until I can sign up for the class!"

"Wait, stop dreaming, it's a married woman, you can't do it like a man!"

"...Who said I'm going to be a stable woman? You're going to be a stable woman! It's my wife, she's idle at home anyway, if she can be a royal gifted stable woman, she can make a lot of money income!"

"..."

That's right, another purpose of Emperor Chongzhen's policy is to make women as a group active, not just husbands and children, nor pretentious weaving or something.Give women this group more types of work, so that more of them can participate in social construction.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen didn't really just want to train stable women. To be more precise, he had to let them learn a series of knowledge about childbirth, such as midwifery and maternal care.

There are different levels, the most basic is midwife, that is, licensed midwife; then there are other more advanced knowledge, that is, the knowledge of maternal and baby care.Regarding these, when he became a father for the first time in his previous life, he had accompanied his wife to participate in various training lectures and the like, and he also had experience in postpartum care, so he can be a mentor in this era.

Don't underestimate this knowledge. In this era, many women do not die at the moment of giving birth, but because they did not pay attention to the details of childbirth after giving birth, resulting in various diseases and even death.The same is true for children, with a high mortality rate, so there are also factors of unscientific child rearing.

When the conditions are ripe in the future, a new department will be added in the national general hospital, which is the obstetrics department.As for gynecology, China has had it since ancient times.

In addition to this method of increasing the population of Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen felt that it was not enough, so he issued another imperial decree.

Anyone with three children over three years old in the family will be exempted from one quota of labor labor; if there are five children over three years old and born to the same woman, they will be granted the title of "honorable mother" and receive the nine-rank salary of the imperial court.

In addition, all children filed in the yamen of the Ming Dynasty can enter government schools during the three years between the ages of seven and nine, free of tuition, and provided with board and lodging.

This edict was impossible in the past, but in the 23rd year of Chongzhen, it is no problem.There is only one reason, and now I have money!
In the past, labor was used free of charge, and it was the kind that forced people to work for free.But since last year, in order to speed up the construction of basic roads, Emperor Chongzhen has begun to increase paid labor on the basis of forced labor.

If this is replaced by the previous government, there will be forced labor if there are not enough people. Anyway, there is no express regulation on the amount of labor.But Emperor Chongzhen came from later generations, so he naturally knew that this hurt people's hearts and livelihoods.When the imperial court had no money, there was nothing they could do. Now that they had money, he naturally wanted to change this way.

When the treasury revenue increases in the future, all the people of Ming Dynasty will be paid for their labor, no matter how much it is, reflecting the value of labor.

Also, when the national treasury receives more revenue in the future, the compulsory education for the future generation of Ming Dynasty will not be limited to three years, but will be as long as possible.

Now this is only three years, and it can only lay the foundation of literacy and educate them ideologically.Now the family conditions are better, they can continue to study.For those who have no money, becoming apprentices in all walks of life will be much better than being illiterate.

Among these measures, Emperor Chongzhen actually had another trick, which was to force the hidden households in the Ming Dynasty out.Those who are not registered with the government will not enjoy these policies that benefit the people.

He believes that at this time, there are definitely still many hidden households.Some of these hidden households are hiding in the mountains, and some are hiding in rich families.Some are due to previous wars, and some are completely to avoid taxes.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen didn't just have such a gentle policy. He also racked his brains for the population problem of Daming.For hermits, he also set a deadline. Those who continue to become hermits after the deadline will be rewarded for reporting, and they can get half of the hermit's property.The hidden households themselves were distributed to the frontiers to enrich the population of the frontiers.If it is a big family who hides a hidden household, the crime is the same as that of a hidden household.

Emperor Chongzhen had reason to believe that after these policies were implemented, the population of Ming Dynasty would definitely explode in the future.As for now, you can only wait.It is also impossible to have a catalyst that can urge a child to grow up in one go.

After finishing these tasks, he left the capital with the supervisor of ceremonies and officials from the six cabinet departments, and took the train to Tongzhou.

At this time, it was August in the 23rd year of Chongzhen, and the weather was hot!
At this time, the trains were divided into passenger cars and freight cars.

When Emperor Chongzhen and his party traveled, the front and rear trains stopped running to vacate the tracks, and on both sides of the train, there were knights in royal guards clearing the way to escort them.

For this kind of disturbing trip, in ancient times, it was justified.The common people didn't complain, on the contrary, it was strange that the emperor took so many senior officials of Daming out to take the train, so what's the matter?

Under such doubts, many young masters in the capital who were bored followed out of the capital one after another, wanting to find out what happened.Because they knew that the emperor and the others were taking the train, so they must get off in Tongzhou.The train to the north has not been repaired yet!
They guessed right, Emperor Chongzhen's goal was Tongzhou.According to his personality, he was going to ride a horse, which would be faster, but who asked him to bring a large group of old men.

These old men can't ride horses. If there is an accident, it will lose a skilled wage earner, which is not worth it!
In fact, taking the train is also beneficial.

On the train they were sitting on, the interior is naturally in place. Apart from the noisy roar of the train, sitting inside, looking at the field scenery outside, you can continue to discuss things. It is more stable than a carriage. There are many, and you will reach your destination before you know it.

Tongzhou is the final section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.Here in Tongzhou Bay, there is a shipyard belonging to the Kaiwu Division of the Ming Dynasty.

When Emperor Chongzhen arrived here, the surrounding area of ​​the shipyard was under martial law.The crown prince, who has been here for several days, has been waiting for a long time with Song Yingxing and others.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he smiled and asked them to excuse him, and then said directly: "Go, let me see what's going on!"

"My son obeys the order!" The prince's face was full of excitement, he quickly agreed, and then guided the Chongzhen emperor forward.

The other courtiers naturally walked behind, the Chief Assistant Xue Guoguan waited for a while, asked Song Yingxing who was following behind, and asked curiously: "Is it really made?"

Seeing that Shoufu was still a little suspicious, Song Yingxing laughed, if he didn't make it well, how dare he alarm Shengjia!

　I finished the manuscript, so I didn't update it at five o'clock this afternoon.The main reason is that I have finished all the familiar surroundings, and it takes a long time to check the information of the unfamiliar ones. What is even more frustrating is that I found that the next neighboring countries are not religious, and religious conflicts are the main contradiction.This can't be written, it will be 404, and I don't know how to write it well, so it will be difficult to deliver.For Central Asia, I will briefly write, it is really difficult to expand.
