Chapter 464

464, female medical officer

Gu Qianxue's proposal made people unexpected?

Gu Qianxue naturally guessed that people didn't understand, so he patiently explained, "naturally, there are medical women in the palace, but among the people, not to mention the medical women with excellent medical skills, they are just ordinary women. They did not receive systematic training, put aside the technology, only talked about sanitary conditions, many stable mothers delivered their babies without washing their hands clean. As far as I know, many mothers eventually die not in dystocia, but in postpartum infections. "

Many of the concubines, some of whom had children, could not help frowning because they knew what was at stake.

Seeing that the emperor was thinking, Gu Qianxue continued, "if the population of a county is two million, there will be one million women. In the civil society, 20% of women died of childbirth, and 10% of them died of postpartum infection, that is, 100000 women died. There are 37 counties in Nanyue. If 100000 women died in childbirth in one county, 370000 women died in childbirth in Nanyue. 370000 people Enough to form an army. What's more, these are all middle-aged women. If a woman can give birth to four children on average, with the departure of these 370000 women, we in Nanyue have lost 1.48 million children. If these children can survive, they will become tens of millions or even more. "

The emperor's eyes suddenly opened and stood up from the chair. "Is this true?" This question is not to ask Gu Qianxue, but to ask the queen beside him.

Although the queen hated Gu Qianxue, she had to affirm her view on this matter. "Return to the emperor, indeed." Especially when he gave birth to a prince, he was extremely dangerous.

The emperor was completely convinced that if he only said how many women had died, he felt sorry, but it was not painful. But it is more painful to think of the loss of tens of millions of people in Nanyue than to dig a piece of meat from him.

With fierce disputes among countries, population is the basic guarantee for a strong and prosperous country! If there is no population, there will not be enough labor force, there will not be enough people to reclaim land and pay taxes, and not enough people will obey the corvee and join the army to defend the country.

The prince's eyes were fixed on Gu Qianxue, who stood solemnly in the center of the hall. It was as if he saw the mysterious woman who had contributed the formula free of charge in the plague area in the south of the city. Frown tight, eyes are more distant, I do not know what kind of memories.

Li Wang has been looking ahead, as if not heard Gu Qianxue's words, do not know what is thinking.

"Do you mean that the imperial court trained medical women to become female medical officers and sent them to work in various counties and counties?" The emperor slowly sat back to his position and began to ask.

Gu Qianxue shook his head. "There are too many people back to the emperor. It is not enough for the court to train medical women. Qian Xue means that all the stable women in Nanyue state will be trained intensively and recorded in the book. Female medical officers will be trained and managed in a unified way, and they will be assessed once a year. If they fail to pass the examination, they will be deprived of the qualification of official stable mothers. "

"What is the official steady woman?" The emperor asked.

"Back to the emperor, the steady women who have been trained and assessed are called the official steady women. Qian Xue hopes that the court will allocate a sum of money every year to subsidize these steady women." Gu Qianxue replied, "if the official steady woman can provide free service, it will be better. If not, I hope to charge less money from the people."

The queen said, "Gu Qianxue, it's easy for you to say that every year you allocate money, do you know how much money there is for all the stable women in the 37 counties of Nanyue, even if they are 10 Liang silver a year for each?" There was contempt in the tone.

Everyone can hear the Queen's hostility to Gu Qianxue.

After listening to the Queen's question, the prince is looking at Gu Qianxue with a smile, expecting his response.

"Back to the empress, as far as Qian Xue knows, we pay taxes according to the number of people in Nanyue. No matter men or women, we start to pay taxes from the age of five." This kind of tax payment is generally aimed at peasant households. In the feudal system of Nanyue, the population of peasant households exceeded 90%, and the other cases of less than 10% were ignored. "If people die, they will lose at least two taxes. These taxes, calculated in 30 years, have already exceeded the subsidies given to the official stable mothers. In fact, the state has not lost a single cent, or even made a lot of money. This is the truth that wool comes from sheep."

"That's right." The emperor highly appreciated it.

The empress saw that Gu Qianxue was not difficult to live in. She bit her teeth fiercely, but she held a solemn and virtuous smile on her face. "Since Qianxue is so considerate, there is one thing for the palace to ask. What about those stable women who have not passed the examination? Is it possible that they will no longer be allowed to take up the profession of steady motherhood. " There is a plan in mind.

Gu Qianxue said, "if you go back to the empress, you can't become an official steady woman if you don't pass the examination. That means there is no subsidy and certification, but you can take the exam again next year. As for whether to engage in it or not, there are few occupations allowed for women in the world. It is better to leave a way for them to live, not to mention the vast territory and complicated counties and counties. We must avoid overcorrection. "

The trick in the Queen's mind was thus resolved, and it was also resolved in a fair and aboveboard manner.

She originally wanted to make an article on this assessment, so that those women who failed to pass the examination and were unable to work as a stable mother would hate Gu Qianxue, spread the bad news and curse of Gu Qianxue, and all the people would pour money on Gu Qianxue and drown him with spit. But it didn't work out.The queen was not reconciled, "if the female medical officer perverts the law for selfish ends, accepts the advantages of stable mother-in-law, and lets them all pass through, what shall we do?"

Gu Qianxue said, "like other officials, female medical officers also have performance appraisal. Every year, every county and county determines an index according to the proportion of maternal number. If the number of maternal deaths exceeds this index, the female medical officers under their jurisdiction will not only lose their official positions, but also be investigated for their criminal responsibility! "

"Good." It has to be said that through today's incident, the emperor looked at Gu Qianxue differently.

Not to mention anything else, just for today, Gu Qianxue's proposal and details are more detailed and thorough than most of the courtiers in the Jinluan palace. Seemingly simple policies can effectively increase population and stop unnecessary death.

"Gu Qianxue, I'll leave it to you." The emperor said.

The prince looked at the empress's appearance of eating shriveled. He had no choice but to shake his head. Then he gently turned his head to see Li Wang, but he still maintained his previous posture and expression, such as sculpture. The prince could not help but wonder what king Li was thinking.

"The emperor forgives me. I'm sorry that Qianxue can't accept this job." Gu Qianxue is busy.

The emperor did not understand, "since you put forward it, it shows that you are concerned about this matter. Since how, why don't you accept it?"

Gu Qianxue naturally can't mention the matter of Mingjiao, but she is still afraid. She is afraid that her goal is too big to attract the attention of Mingjiao, so she has to guard against it. "Emperor, I I I'm still young and have to get married. " Finally, after thinking for a long time, I only thought of such a reason.

Li Wang finally wakes up from the mind wandering, his sharp eyes staring at Gu Qianxue.

Get married?
