Chapter 387 Statistics (two chapters in one)
After walking out of the Xu Mansion, Xu You secretly thought to himself, speaking of the two daughters of Guan and Zhang, they are both the daughters of monarchs, and they are also rare beauties. How should Feng Langjun choose?
After the Huarong Yuemao incident came out, Xu You was not the only one who had this idea in his mind. Anyone who had other thoughts about Guan and Zhang girls was wondering about one thing.
That is: How come this clever talker Feng Langjun... was not killed by the tiger girl of the Guan family?
After all, the name Tiger Girl is not false. Xu Xun had one of his legs broken just because of his quick words.
This Feng Tibi has caused much more trouble than this, and he is probably not far from death, right?
Before Feng Yong returned to Jincheng, Guan Ji had been able to enter and exit Fengzhuang freely.
After Feng Yong returned to Jincheng, Guan Ji made frequent trips to Feng's house. Although she was ordered by the prime minister's wife, no one would believe it if they said they had no other relationship.
Some people even saw the two of them dating more than once. The most important thing is that they heard that Feng Yong had already proposed marriage to the Guan family.
So once the story about Zhang Ji’s beauty came out, many people were actually waiting to see a joke.
Unexpectedly, the subsequent development of the incident almost made people's jaws drop.
After this happened, not only did Guan Ji go in and out of Feng's house as usual, but even Feng Turtle was jumping up and down like a normal person. Later, she even became the leader of the Xinghan Association!
While many people are disappointed, they can’t help but say sourly in their hearts: They all say that marrying a virtuous wife and keeping concubines and **** is quite reasonable.
This Feng Mingwen, I don’t know which ancestral tomb is covered with green smoke, but with a Guan Ji, both the virtuous and the beautiful are alive...
This Guan Ji...why has no one discovered that she is such a virtuous woman before?
Seeing that the matter between Feng Yong and Guan Ji was almost a foregone conclusion, many people looked at Zhang Mansion again.
Come on, kill that smooth talker and lecherous Feng Turtle!
Many people are shouting in their hearts.
But for some reason, the Zhang family suddenly became weird.
Zhang Ji has never appeared in gatherings outside since she was given the title of a fairy banished to the mortal world.
The news coming out from the Zhang Mansion is that Madam Zhang Junhou intends to delay Zhang Ji’s marriage for a few years until she grows up.
As for Zhang Ji and Feng Yong, they didn’t mention a word.
Zhang Ji became famous all over Jincheng because of her Qing Ping music. With the dissemination of this good article, it was a matter of time before it spread throughout the Han Dynasty, and it was even unknown that it would spread throughout the whole world, so many interested people noticed her.
So someone discovered that after the Zhang Mansion stopped Zhang Ji’s marriage discussions, there were women of the same age as Zhang Ji in the families of powerful people in Jincheng, who also stopped the marriage discussions, saying they would wait a little longer.
Some people feel that this trend is not very good and would like to say a few words. But how and when do children of powerful families want to get married?
Besides, the Southern Expedition is the top priority now. If no one pays attention to Zhang Ji, who will care about this matter?
"Those who are concerned about this matter have other thoughts. I can't let my little sister marry into these families. Besides, is our Zhang family still afraid of this?"
In Zhang's Mansion in Jincheng, Zhang Xingcai leaned quietly on his chair, closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body, with a confident smile on his face, and spoke.
At this time, she was only wearing a thin gauze dress, but there was a slight sweat on her forehead.
Zhang Xiahou was sitting opposite her with a concerned look on her face.
Amei saw Zhang Xingcai's appearance and knew that this acupuncture had an effect.
At that moment, he carefully put the last piece of moxa close to a certain acupuncture point to burn it, and then gently pulled out all the silver needles on Zhang Xingcai's arms and shoulders, bowed slightly, and then quietly retreated. Got out.
Her current level of acupuncture can only be used on arms and shoulders at most.
You need to practice more on important areas such as the back, chest and abdomen. Dr. Fan can only try it when he feels that he has passed the test.
However, the most important thing for the queen's health is medicine.
Acupuncture is just an auxiliary method.
When Mrs. Zhang Xiahou heard what her daughter said, she hesitated and said, "I don't have any objection to the fourth mother's delay. But now there are several companies following our lead. If anything goes wrong with this matter, then How to explain to them?"
Zhang Xiahou was frightened by the fact that her eldest daughter had a difficult childbirth. Later, she heard words from her eldest daughter who became a queen in the palace, saying that it would be dangerous for a woman to have a child at a young age, so she suspended her fourth mother's marriage proposal. .
With the idea of rather believing that it is something than something that is not, she naturally agreed.
It was only later that her eldest daughter's subsequent actions made her feel a little unstable.
It is nothing to keep the fourth mother in the boudoir for a few more years and wait until she is older before getting married.
But it is no small matter to spread the news and let the powerful people in Jincheng who have a good relationship with the Zhang family know about it. There are people in the family who are about the same age as Siniang, and now they all follow suit. This is not a small matter.

“What do I need to explain?”
Zhang Xingcai watched Amei's graceful figure disappear outside the door, his eyes flickering, thoughtfully.
Hearing what my mother said, she said casually, "They want to learn. If they just learn, they won't suffer any loss."
"What do you mean? Are you so sure that this statement is true? There are many women in this world who get married and have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen. If nothing else, I have given birth to a few of you, too?"
I am worried about my daughter and don’t want her to have any problems. As long as there is a slight possibility of danger, try to avoid it as much as possible if your daughter can avoid it. This is a mother's instinct.
Whether Xiang does not believe this statement is another matter.
And as far as Zhang Xiahou herself is concerned, she was actually more than thirteen years old but less than fourteen years old when she started to follow her dead husband.
“Whether it is true or not, we will know in half a year.”
Zhang Xingcai picked up the rag handed over by the palace maid, wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up again, and asked the palace maid to get dressed. "But as far as my daughter is concerned, she still believes in this statement."
"What do you mean?" Mr. Zhang Xiahou frowned, "Last time, you only had someone pass you a message, but you didn't even mention the basis for your statement. Now that you are back at home, you just want to tell me what happened. The same thing?"
Zhang Xingcai pointed to the door and said, "Who is the owner of the female medical worker just now? Does my mother know?"
“Of course I know, it’s Na Feng…”
Zhang Xiahou reacted, "Did Feng Langjun say this?"
Zhang Xingcai nodded and said, "That's what Feng Langjun said, and now he has a medical worker named Fan, who is the successor of the miracle doctor Hua Yuanhua. That medical worker Fan also agrees with this statement."
“Feng Langjun…”
Zhang Xiahou was quite fond of Feng Yong, and subconsciously said his name before asking, "Even if he studied under an expert and has learned a lot, how can this kind of thing be trivial? At least You have to have some basis, right?"
“The basis is Nanxiang half a year later.”
Zhang Xingcai smiled and said, "In Feng Langjun's workshop in Nanxiang, there are a group of women who are now pregnant and will start giving birth in about half a year. The youngest of those women is twenty-nine, and the oldest is already two. Thirteen or four.”
These days, it would be a great blessing if half of the women among the big men could give birth to children safely and smoothly.
"A batch? That Feng Langjun...he...he..." Zhang Xiahoushi exclaimed, "How could a group of women become pregnant at the same time?"
"Feng Langjun built a lot of houses last year. As long as one of his men gets married to a workshop woman, he will give a house as a gift. And I heard that once, nearly a hundred couples got married on the same day."
Zhang Xingcai looked strange. It seemed that she couldn't figure out what it would be like for nearly a hundred couples to get married at the same time.
Zhang Xiahou's face was even more colorful: How come Feng Langjun's behavior...is always so unexpected?
For Zhang Xingcai, she felt it was worthwhile to gamble on such a big event by delaying her marriage for a few years.
Because in her opinion, neither side would suffer a loss in this matter, so why not do it?
If what Feng Yong said is true, as long as the operation is done well, it can't be said to be a matter of benefiting the people.
If what Feng Yong said is wrong, then...
Feng Langjun, look, my little sister has become an old maid because of what you said and hasn’t gotten married yet. Don’t you have an explanation?
“That’s the way to say it.” In the study room of Feng Mansion, Feng Yong rubbed his forehead with one hand, showing a tired look on his face.
“Whether it is the age of the pregnant woman, physical condition, whether it is the first birth or a previous birth, daily habits, etc., it is best to keep records of these. The more detailed you remember, the more realistic the conclusions you can draw.”
Hand handed the paper on the table to Guan Ji with one hand, motioning her to take it to Huang Yueying, who was sitting not far away.
Feng Yong was extremely busy during this period.
The dogs from Hanzhong were finally delivered. Not to mention that he had to step up preparations to go south, the Xinghan Association had just been established, and the myriad of things had not yet been completely sorted out.
Here we also need to write down the matters that need to be paid attention to when collecting and counting women and babies.
So the tiredness on his face is not an act.
At this time, he realized how much ability Zhuge Laoyao needed to take on the government affairs of the Han Dynasty alone.
As for who is preparing to laugh at him, who is plotting against him, who cares?
When soldiers come, they will block it, and when water comes, the earth will cover it.
Guan Ji took the paper and glanced at Feng Yong with concern in her eyes, and a little apologetic at the same time.
Then she glanced at the paper and saw that there were many grids drawn on it, and there were notes and many other things under the grids that she couldn't understand.
Feng Tubiao, who was a little depressed, saw that the beauty had changed into men's clothing today, and then thought of the grandeur that he could not grasp with one hand that evening, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
When Guan Ji saw Feng Yong's expression, her heart trembled inexplicably, her face turned red, and she secretly spat at him, thinking to herself, I was worried that he was tired. Looking at him now, how could he be tired? What does it look like?
It's just that the beautiful woman's slightly angry expression did not frighten Feng Tubao, but instead made him feel a little dry.
To him, Guan Ji... was of course a virtuous and virtuous woman. How could she murder her husband out of jealousy over Zhang Ji, as those shady villains thought?
As for letting myself burst into tears...it's just a trivial matter.
In order to prove the innocence between Zhang Ji and himself, Feng Tubao used his almighty teacher, saying that the teacher had done research and found that it was too early for this woman to get married at the age of twelve or thirteen, and it was extremely dangerous to have children.
How could he, an honest and reliable young man, be mistaken for a stranger?
Finally, Guan Ji was coaxed over.
The confidence that he dared to deceive Guan Ji was now Nanxiang.
Now in Nanxiang, if not ten thousand people, there are still seven or eight thousand people, all of whom are working as cows and horses as coolies for his happiness.
Last year, he started an infrastructure-building craze and built a large number of large yards as homes for employees.
Moreover, a group wedding was specially held to allow those who survived the war to reorganize a happy family.
Ordinary people don’t have any extra entertainment on weekdays. They don’t even bother to light the lights when it gets dark. Plus, the food in the cafeteria is not bad. Isn’t the old saying true? What about being warm and full?
Just before he left Nanxiang, many women in the new families were pregnant.
It is foreseeable that Nanxiang will soon welcome the birth of the first group of babies in the second half of the year.
Although the woman's pregnancy somewhat affected the woolen cloth output of the workshop, for the sake of a prosperous population, Feng Yong still gritted his teeth and set a rule: half a year's maternity leave!
Monthly money and food are calculated as before pregnancy. If a child is born, both men and women will be rewarded with a dog. During the confinement period, there will also be a supply of goat milk.
Equality between men and women starts with me!
Fortunately, he had already expected that Nanxiang would usher in a baby boom in the next few years, so he made some preparations.
First of all, they rushed to print more medical books "Prescriptions for Healing Women", and then desperately searched for midwives, so that Fan A's disciples could teach them as much necessary knowledge about childbirth as possible.
If anyone dares not to listen, take those unhygienic bad habits as customs and get whipped directly!
Population reproduction... is not a matter that should be considered a matter of human life. Feng Yongcai doesn’t care about customs or not.
At the same time, in order to prevent anyone from leaking out and using rumors to cause panic, Feng Yong also specially formulated strict confidentiality regulations.
Until the new birth control method is widely accepted by everyone, no one is allowed to talk nonsense, otherwise, they will be thrown directly into the mines in the mountains and dug to death!
From a conscience point of view, Feng Tubao felt that he was really worried about the Nanxiang woman's childbirth.
The welfare conditions provided are indeed extremely good.
Even small landowners may not have this condition.
Pregnant women are of the right age and in good health, and their nutrition is generally much better than elsewhere, and midwives who have improved delivery methods are on call at any time...
Under various favorable conditions, Feng Yong felt that it would be unreasonable if the mortality rate of infants born this year in Nanxiang remained as high as before.
It was precisely with this confidence that Feng Yong dared to coax Guan Ji to prove his innocence by saying that it was too dangerous for a woman to have a child at the age of twelve or thirteen, so it was not suitable to get married early.
Unexpectedly, Guan Ji admired Feng Yong's mysterious master very much, so she quickly mentioned this statement to Huang Yueying.
Huang Yueying knew it, which meant that the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty also knew it.
Zhuge Laoyao was also worried about reviving the Han Dynasty. When he heard that there was such a statement, he paid special attention to this matter despite the fact that the Southern Expedition was right in front of him.
Even when leading the troops south, he entrusted this matter to Huang Yueying and the Queen, asking them to continue to follow up.
In order to round out his statement, Feng Yong had to make another statement, which was to collect data on women and babies in Nanxiang and compare it with those women in Jincheng who gave birth to children at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
Although in Feng Yong's eyes, this kind of superficial data collection and comparison can only be regarded as extremely small statistics, and from a scientific perspective, its statistics may not be suitable for the general situation of the Han Dynasty.
Because the women in Nanxiang have all survived the war, and they are definitely more suitable for childbirth, both in terms of age and body.
Even psychologically, because of their own experiences, they have much advantages over ordinary women.
But for Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying and others, this new statistical method is like opening a door to a new world in front of them.
So Huang Yueying, who was seizing the time to develop blowers and improve iron furnaces, put down the work at hand and rushed to Feng Mansion to ask Feng Yong personally what happened.
