The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

The twins have started to become shy about strangers. Unlike when they were little and would let anyone hold them, now they stare at strangers warily.

Dabao's eyebrows were wrinkled, and Xiaobao's mouth was pursed, but he tried hard not to cry.

Seeing their mother bringing three strangers in, the two little guys hugged their mother's calves tightly and stared at the three people warily.

Sister Yuan was a little sad. She didn't expect the twins had completely forgotten her. Xiaohu was afraid that he would scare the children, so he kept hiding behind Zhongyang and pushed him:

"You hold it first."

Shen Dongsu smiled and said, "Come here, Dabao and Xiaobao, don't be afraid. This is Aunt Ayuan, and this is Uncle Xiao and Uncle Xiaohu."

After all, Xiaobao liked being held by Sister Ayuan the most when he was a child. He was quickly amused by Sister Ayuan and put his arms around her neck, allowing her to hold him affectionately.

Although Dabao didn't object to being held by his uncles, he kept frowning and looking stern on his little chubby face.

Shen Dongsu smiled and said, "The little guy has been throwing a tantrum these days. The prince passed away at the end of last month, and he misses his father."

Zhongyang found it unbelievable. It seemed like his sister had only been away from home for a short time, but he didn't expect the child to be so big already.

She sighed again and again: "If Grandpa saw Dabao and Xiaobao, he would be very happy. Grandpa keeps the albums you sent home like treasures."

Shen Dongsu naturally missed Grandpa too, and said with tears in her eyes: "Wait a little longer, until the prince has conquered Goryeo and there is no more war in the north, I will bring Grandpa to live in Youzhou."

With such great skills, Dabao has already fallen in love with Uncle Xiaohu because Uncle Xiaohu would play the lifting game with him.

After the banquet at the palace, Master Bai took her people to the Maternal and Child Hospital, where there was a residential area built specifically for employees. Shen Dongsu specially ordered the Ministry of Works to build it according to the scale of residential areas for officials.

She believes that people's needs are the same regardless of the era. If the family can eat well and live comfortably, earn enough money to support the family, and their abilities are respected, then there is no reason why talent cannot be retained.

She has always insisted that talking about ideals and making big promises can indeed retain talents for a while, but if you want to retain talents for a lifetime, you still have to satisfy them both spiritually and materially.

At present, Master Bai and her people are very satisfied with the Women and Children's Hospital, whether it is the inpatient department, outpatient department, pharmacology department, or the specially designated herb fields and laboratories.

They were all very satisfied. Besides, the novel and prosperous Youzhou City and the sensible and respectful princess were much better than the conditions in Yungu, Dianzhou.

The people in Yun Valley walked thousands of miles, from the southernmost part of Daxia to the northernmost part of Daxia, and now they all felt it was worth it.

Youzhou is a place where the family can settle down. For the rest of their lives, they will devote half of their life energy and knowledge to this maternity and child hospital.

With the addition of Dr. Yungu, Youzhou City's lack of maternal and child doctors has been made up. In fact, maternal and child doctors are in short supply everywhere, especially female doctors.

Shen Dongsu felt speechless when it came to this issue. In this era when giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for women, women are actually prohibited from practicing medicine!

The best outcome for a female doctor is to become a midwife, or a midwife. And if a female doctor does something slightly out of the ordinary when treating a patient, she will be considered a witch doctor.

As a result, there are very few female doctors, and even if a woman who has a difficult delivery is about to die, her husband's family is rarely willing to let a male doctor deliver the baby.

Treating women and children does not earn much money and is also very likely to cause medical disputes.

In this era when there is an extreme shortage of doctors, when Shen Dongsu first traveled through time, even a mediocre doctor like Dr. Li could live well in the small town.

Shen Dongsu wanted to train a group of female doctors herself, but this takes time and she is too busy now. She used to go to the medical school for classes every few days, but now it is considered a lot if she can go twice a month.

With the addition of Master Bai and her people, Shen Dongsu believed that the rate of difficult labors among women in Youzhou City would be greatly reduced, and the survival rate of newborns would be greatly improved.

Maybe we won’t see any results in one or two years, but in ten or twenty years, Youzhou’s population will surely experience explosive growth.

In addition, she also gave Master Bai a long-term task, just like the task she gave Li Nianyu on the principles of the steam engine.

She hoped that Master Bai could develop a vaccine to prevent and treat the plague, especially smallpox, by vaccinating against it, which was most likely to be achieved with modern technology.

Sister Ayuan talked to her about Xiaopan's plan. Sister Ayuan was very worried about Xiaopan's situation in Chang'an. She wanted to go with Xiaopan at that time, but Xiaopan disagreed.

A Yuan said in a depressed tone, "Dong Su, I thought our marriage would stop him from having those crazy thoughts. I didn't expect that he tried hard to suppress them, but the longer he suppressed them, the stronger they would rebound."

"What should I do? I can't bring him back by myself."

Shen Dongsu hurriedly comforted A Yuan: "That's not the case! In the past, Brother Pan wanted to work hard like a lamp to do something for you, for Aunt Three, and for all of us."

"And now, he wants to rely on his own abilities to completely resolve the hidden dangers, and then stay with you forever. I can feel that Brother Xiao Pan has been working very hard to stay awake and alive, so that he can stay with you longer."

A Yuan leaned in Dong Su's arms and cried silently. She was the backbone of the Yun Valley people along the way and didn't care about showing her emotions at all.

Even when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, I was afraid that I would be too worried and not be able to sleep well, which would affect my journey the next day.

She had no one to tell these words to, but in front of Dong Su, at least she could cry.

A Yuan herself didn't know that, without knowing when, she had changed from a gentle woman who relied on others for everything to someone else's support.

After accompanying Master Bai to send everyone in Yungu to the Women and Children's Hospital, Sister Yuan immediately rushed to the orphanage. She brought a lot of gifts from Gwangju, most of which were from the orphanage.

Unlike the twins, the boy and girl, who were so heartless, the children in the orphanage talked about Sister Yuan every day. When they saw her come back, they immediately surrounded her and hugged her, crying and laughing.

Looking at the smiling faces of the children, Sister Yuan had no time to worry. She only rested for one day in the palace and then devoted herself to various chores in the orphanage.

I also attend a class at the Medical College every other day, and see patients at the Women's and Children's Hospital every two days.

A Yuan quickly got into work mode. She felt that Youzhou had something that other places didn't have, and that was vitality. No matter who came to Youzhou, they would feel full of energy.

Staying at home like the noble ladies in Chang'an, thinking about clothes, jewelry, tea parties and flower parties every day, would feel like a waste of time.

Zhongyang and Xiaohu were also infected by this vitality, especially when they saw that Ajie started to get busy as soon as she got up every day, with endless things to deal with from morning to night.

They immediately felt a little guilty about just staying at home and resting for a few days, as their elder sister had said.

Dong Su arranged two personal guards to take them to visit Youzhou City. Zhong Yang saw that his sister would bring the twins with her whenever she met with officials or managers.

He often took the twins out to play, and they were indeed related by blood. The older and younger ones immediately liked to stick to their uncle.

Unfortunately, neither of them stayed in the palace for a few days. Zhongyang soon entered the Wanshu Pavilion to study. In fact, even if he did not take the exam, Mr. Pang would not have been able to prevent him from entering the academy.

But Zhongyang was still able to take the exam like other candidates and was admitted to Wanshu Pavilion with the first place.

Shen Dongsu was very proud of his younger brother. His elder brother didn't like studying, so Xiaohu reluctantly studied for a few years. But as soon as he had the opportunity to join the army, he immediately let himself go and gave up studying.

Zhongyang is the only one in the family who has a promising academic future, so Dongsu naturally wants to train his younger brother well. Zhongyang is going to take part in the autumn examination next year, and Mr. Pang is very optimistic about him.

Xiaohu was so impatient that he refused to wait for Yuezhong Dongsu to accompany him to the base. As soon as Zhongyang entered the academy, he said he wanted to go to the base by himself first.

He had heard of the Cheng Feng and bought a model ship of the Cheng Feng from Ding Qi.

Speaking of the model ship, Dong Su would like to praise Ding Qi for his good business acumen. Even Jiang Hong did not think of selling model boats.

It might be because Ding Qi had learned carpentry from Shen's father for a period of time, and was also on good terms with the disciples of the Mohist School.

During the first month of the lunar year, the whole city was buzzing with talk of the Chengfeng, which had officially set sail. Children were drawing on paper and carving on wood boards.

Ding Qi immediately sought cooperation from the disciples of the Mo Sect to completely restore the appearance of the Chengfeng, and even wound it up to run two laps in the pond.

With an attitude of giving it a try, he made a thousand of them, and they were sold out in just three days.

Immediately, wealthy young men from various states came to him to order custom-made ones, asking for them to be bigger, not just big enough for a person but big enough for a cat to sit in.

The materials must be valuable, and it is said that if it is to be placed in the study, a model ship would be more interesting than antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Anyway, Ding Qi had the idea of ​​a model business, and by May, he had built a workshop specifically for it. He not only made models of ships, but also chariots, carriages, bell towers, and so on.

Li Nianyu made a lot of money from the pockets of those rich young men. He smiled and said that Ding Qi made toy boats and the money he earned could be used to make a real boat for him.

In this way, Xiaohu officially joined the navy, holding a model ship and riding on a horse-drawn carriage that was delivering goods to the base.

Soon the eldest brother wrote to Dongsu, saying that Xiaohu had arrived. Because he was very good at swimming and performed better than others in the training of new recruits, the prince had transferred him to the main battle cabin.

Because of the Dragon Boat Festival in May and the need to prepare for the summer harvest, Shen Dongsu did not bring the children to the base to see Ling Moxiao in the middle of the month.

She had clearly written a letter to explain, but Ling Moxiao didn't reply. She thought he was busy too, so it wouldn't hurt if they didn't meet for once.

As a result, on the night of May 20th, Ling Moxiao hurried back.

What makes people angry and helpless is that he only came back to stay for one night and said he would have to go back the next morning after having breakfast.

When he came back, the twins were both asleep. He had to wake them up and joked with them until late at night before they fell asleep again.

Shen Dongsu was speechless. It is said that children cannot be separated from adults when they are young, but how come in their own home, it is the adults who cannot be separated from the children?

After the couple went to bed, Ling Moxiao said in a slightly heavy voice that he would take the navy to Dandong in early June. He was worried about the defense of Youzhou City and would let Jia Si come back at that time.

In other words, he would not be able to come back for at least three to five months. If a war really broke out with Goryeo, he might not be able to go home for a year.

In addition to this news, there is another worrying thing, which is the secret letter that Mo Xiujing passed to Ling Moxiao. Although the emperor intended to conceal it, King Wu found out.

The emperor has never recovered from the injuries he received during the prince's attempt to abdicate, and his lungs are injured, so he is also coughing up blood.

Although Shen Dongsu had a lot of opinions about the emperor, think about it, as an emperor, he was poisoned by Aunt Shi in his early years, and now he was seriously injured by his own son. It was really not easy!

Shen Dongsu didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Are you worried that the emperor won't be able to hold out for much longer?"

Ling Moxiao tightened his grip on her shoulders and sighed softly, "The Wu King's party has been forcing father to appoint a crown prince, but father disagrees. I hope he can hold on for a few more years, at least, so that I can pacify Goryeo."

Shen Dongsu finally understood why Ling Moxiao changed his mind and wanted to go to Dandong in June. He had clearly said before that he would go at least in September.

She sighed, "Chang'an is too far away. There are many things beyond our reach. I won't say that good fortune will come to those who are lucky. Since the emperor can still hide it from the court officials, I believe that his body can still hold on."

Some topics don't disappear just because you avoid them. Ling Moxiao pondered for a moment and asked:

"If that time really comes and my father can't bear it anymore, Dongsu, are you willing to accompany me back to Chang'an?"

Shen Dongsu leaned into his arms, but it was too hot, so she moved to the side, but Ling Moxiao's big hands held her tighter.

She had no choice but to say, "I won't go back. There are too many variables with the child. Staying in Youzhou makes me feel more at ease."

Ling Moxiao hummed softly: "Okay! Don't worry, if you don't want to go, I won't force you."

As the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes. In early June, when Ling Moxiao led the navy to Dandong, Goryeo took the lead in attacking and joined forces with Silla and Japan.

One from land and the other from sea, they raided Dandong and Sanshan Island.

The good news is that after more than a year of hard work, Chen Li finally pulled Silla and Japan into the war with Goryeo.

The bad news is that the enemy arrived too early and our navy was not yet fully trained.

Of course, the enemy cannot wait until you have strong troops and weapons ready before launching a sneak attack.

It seems that the high-profile departure of the Chengfeng put Goryeo under great pressure, and it ignored its own internal strife and did not care about compromising with Silla and Japan before inviting them to join.

The reaction was to launch a surprise attack first, hoping to catch King Ling off guard.

The Northern Border once again entered a state of preparation for war, and Jia Si quickly rushed back from Dandong. No matter what the battle situation was over there, Ling Moxiao was worried that there was no trusted person guarding Youzhou.

Li Nianyu and Yue Jian also went to Dandong. Li Nianyu was transporting gunpowder, while Yue Jian was leading a female medical team. This was the first time that female medical staff went to the battlefield.

Because of the summer battle, injuries can easily become inflamed if not properly treated, and military doctors alone cannot handle it. Ling Moxiao granted permission for female medical staff to enter the garrison.

Although several naval commanders objected, because of the old saying, women on board would bring bad luck, and the presence of women in naval battles was the most taboo.

But because Prince Ling insisted, their objections were useless. However, Shen Dongsu believed that they would soon realize how good it was for the wounded to have female medical staff.

It is estimated that when generals go on expeditions in the future, not only will they not object to female medical staff accompanying the troops, they will also request to send more of them.

Although the war did not affect Youzhou, Youzhou City was still under martial law. This was to guard against spies, especially when fighting against Japan.

They are willing to resort to any despicable means, so we must be on high alert.

As for Chang'an, Shen Dongsu's only hope is that Chang'an will not cause any more trouble during the time when Ling Moxiao is not in Youzhou.

Even if your military resources are not in place and you are holding us back in various ways, I only ask that you stay calm and behave yourself in Youzhou during this period of time.

But sometimes what you fear will come true. In July, Ling Moxiao lifted the siege of Dandong and repelled the Goryeo army.

Officially led troops across the river to counterattack Goryeo. And our Chengfeng also shined, although there was only one giant warship and ten ordinary warships.

However, the Japanese navy was unable to fight back, especially with the use of gunpowder and fish oil, which burned countless Japanese soldiers to death at sea.

Before the news of this initial victory reached Chang'an, the emperor's secret letter arrived again, this time again summoning Ling Moxiao back to Chang'an.

And it was not a discussion, but a request for him to return to Chang'an as soon as possible.
