Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"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.”

"Contraceptive medicine!"

"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? .
