"Why do you say nothing about nonsense? How unlucky is there for a man to deliver a baby?" Bai Qiaoqiao glanced at Li Mu, treating his words as nonsense jokes. No matter what Li Mu said, she just refused, and only focused on fiddling with the Luban lock in her hand, studying the many changes Li Mu taught her about the Luban lock.
Bai Qiaoqiao is very serious about learning institutional techniques, and Li Mu is also very serious about delivering Bai Qiaoqiao.
From this book in his hand, Li Mu had a further understanding of Tang Shi's delivery. After understanding it, he became even more worried about this. When Li Mu was looking for a midwife to take over, during the interview, all the midwife said that giving birth was a "passing the ghost gate". No matter how familiar a veteran is, he could not guarantee that he would be foolproof. At that time, Li Mu thought that the midwife was afraid of taking responsibility. Now, the book in his hand realized that what they said was not false. Having a child in this era was really a great fortune.
Before traveling through time, Li Mu's costume TV series had a scene of having a child, which was probably the same. The people inside shouted loudly, and the people outside were anxious. Occasionally, they would pick up the midwife and have a line, "Come on hot water quickly!"
During the TV series, Li Mu felt that this was a scene that the screenwriter did not understand history and fabricated casually. Now, the screenwriters did not write randomly. At least the book in his hand was a bit useful. There are two functions that hot water can play. One is "thermal expansion and contraction". When a mother gave birth, using hot water can help her expand the uterus, which is conducive to production. The other is that hot water can disinfect and reduce infection.
As for the other contents, they are basically useless, but they can play some popular science role.
For example, the previous article said that during the Qin and Han dynasties, giving birth was not at home, but a straw shed was temporarily built next to the graves and roads. When the pregnant woman was about to give birth, she moved the pregnant woman into the straw shed, and only after the pregnant woman gave birth was full month before she could carry the child home. The middle article did not explain why she did this, but Li Mu thought that it was probably related to the small chance of survival at that time. Giving birth was considered an unclean thing, and giving birth at home was unlucky. If the child died, or the pregnant woman died of dysfunction, it would be buried directly near the road and the grave to save trouble.
Giving children at home was something that happened only during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. This also shows that by the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the survival rate of children born increased.
However, the prejudice of the world towards giving birth has not improved much, and medical conditions have not improved much. Li Mu was not surprised at all. The reason is very simple. In this era, doctors are all men. Which man would be willing to give birth to his wife? They all look for a midwife, but they don’t understand medical skills when taking a midwife. Only the experience passed down from generation to generation is similar in each generation.
“What should I do…”
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li Mu's mind. There is a way! Without a female doctor, then train a female doctor. Set up an obstetrics and gynecology hospital, so that the survival rate of the newborn will be greatly improved.
"Money—" Li Mu glanced at Qiaoqiao and thought to himself, just think that I will do good deeds and accumulate virtues. God bless the mother and son with safety. I will pay this money!
Bai Qiaoqiao fell asleep leaning against the head of the bed. Li Mu walked over, helped her to lie down gently, covered her with a blanket, and sat beside her guard. Bai Qiaoqiao and the child in her belly could not be confirmed that he had come to a new world, not traveling through the game. This feeling of blood connection cannot be faked.
Li Mu put his hand gently on Bai Qiaoqiao's belly, thinking of Wang Ou. She was one month later than Bai Qiaoqiao, and the child was born two months later. Li Mu had confirmed the location of Pangda in the system. At this time, Wang Ou should be in the mountains west of Shuzhou, but Li Mu couldn't figure out why Wang Ou wanted to go to that kind of place.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Pangda ran out by himself and ran away from home. It followed its instinctive call and went back to its hometown. If so, this kid would be really a scam.
No matter what the situation is, Wang Ou shouldn't care about it. Bai Qiaoqiao hasn't had a full moon yet, so he can't catch up.
...
In a few days, the autumnal equinox will be. After the autumnal equinox, the crops will also enter the harvest. Zhang Tian took the Jinyiwei out of the city for a walk and learned about the surrounding farmland. In the nearby counties, the old farmers said that the current situation is a surefire harvest this year. Luoyang is the focus of the implementation of the new policy. As the owner of Luoyang City, Li Mu should arrange the granary to store early. When the farmers harvest the grain and hand over the public grain to the warehouse, he doesn't have to worry about the food in the warehouse. Otherwise, he was always thinking about Jisitang's purchase of grain. Until now, he has not figured out why his opponent made such a foolish move. Could it be that Miss Lu, who was rumored to be missed?
After nearly half a month of hard work, the "Luoyang Station" that was driving on the road has begun to take shape. Li Mu built a pergola next to the construction site to provide the workers who are working to rest when they replace them, take a sip of herbal tea to quench their thirst. After staying together for a long time, the workers became much less afraid of Li Mu. From time to time, they would chat with him for a while, talk about the affairs of their families, and the neighbors. Li Mu also liked to chat with them. For him, this was an excellent way to get news. It was through chatting with them that Li Mu knew how those merchants disobeyed him and he wrote them every stroke in his small notebook.
The topic I am talking about today is the crops that are about to be harvested. When talking about crops, everyone's faces are different. Liba has been working hard labor in Luoyang for generations. Without the new policy, it would be impossible to have the opportunity to have their own land. However, this year they not only divided the fields, but also divided the Zhenguan plows that share the same set. Although they do not have cattle, they have strength. The Zhenguan plow does not require cattle and can be pulled. It is naturally no problem for these people who are willing to work hard. Although they have never planted land, it is not difficult to farm. They can plant it according to their own way. No matter how the yield is, they all feel in a good mood. They do not expect too much about the grain output. They can pay public grains to meet the food for next year, and then leave the seeds, and they will be satisfied.
There were a few of them who were the only laborers in the family and had already made plans. When it was time to harvest, the construction site would take a few days off and finish the work at home before coming back. Li Mu also agreed and promised them to take a break, work on the construction site for one day, and harvest for one day. In this way, even though the construction site delayed the progress, the work would not be stopped.
Seeing that the sun was over, Li Mu should go home to accompany Bai Qiaoqiao. After kicking a few sleepless people, Li Mu rode on his horse and walked around the city. In the past few days, the other party did not see any movement, and seemed to have stopped. Li Mu retreated the guards. Anyway, there were Jinyiwei everywhere in the city, and they were in broad daylight, so the other party could not get a good deal.
When passing by Nanshi, Li Mu happened to meet Zhang Tian who was patrolling the city. Li Mu remembered that Zhang Tian had been thinking about the hairpin from a jewelry store in Nanshi several times. He happened to meet him here today and bought it for her, just treat it as a small surprise, so that he would not be jealous when he went home every day.
Watching Zhang Tian and the Jinyiwei go away, Li Mu found the jewelry store that Zhang Tian mentioned. Just as he was about to get off the horse and buy her hairpin, he suddenly felt itchy on the back of his neck. Li Mu was startled and thought it was someone sneak attack, so he raised his hand and patted it.
"Bang!"
A disgusting feeling of touch permeated between the fingers, and Li Mu pulled his hand back and reached the green mucus all over his hands.
"What's this?" He went over carefully and saw a trembling grasshopper leg. Li Mu couldn't help but laugh. He actually scared the insect like this. He shook his hand, muttering, "The grasshopper in autumn will not be able to jump for a few days." While taking out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe his hands clean.
Suddenly, his whole body felt like he had been acupunctured, and he froze.
"Grasshopper!"
"locust!"
Some points that could not be connected in my mind suddenly became connected. Li Mu looked up at the sky, like a dragonfly flying by the pond. Although it was not as dense as it was, it could be seen with countless flying locusts at the naked eye.
Li Mu didn't bother to buy any hairpins, so he rode on his horse and ran out of the city.
...
(Refresh in twenty minutes--)
Li Mu rode his horse to the farmland outside Luoyang City and drilled into the field carefully. As expected, the fields were full of fresh grasshoppers, about an inch large, and only a small one with a finger length, fresh green ones, either holding the leaves of seedlings or holding the stems, twitching their mouthparts like chainsaws, and chewing them all the time.
Li Mu reached out and touched the rice ears. It was the time to fill the grout, and it had not yet grown. If he harvested at this time, he would get a "shrimp" and he would not be able to grind out the rice at all! In an instant, Li Mu felt that his eyes were dark and he fell to the ground.
How could this happen? How could there be a locust plague with good weather? Why didn’t you come early or late, but when the crops were about to be harvested? Li Mu suddenly remembered Jisitang’s previous behavior of purchasing food stored in stock, and suddenly felt cold all over his body. Did Jisitang know that there was a locust plague this year? So they purchased food stored in stock early to hold the grain to be self-respecting? Or was this locust plague they did, how did they do it?
