Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Anyway, since His Majesty Li Er smiled so happily, it shouldn't be a bad thing, right?

Empress Changsun felt relieved, and said with a smile, "It seems that Xin'er did not make any mistakes this time, but did something to make His Majesty happy."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "It's more than happy, Xin'er has made a great contribution this time."

Empress Changsun smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, don't cheat on your courtiers and concubines. Xin'er is so stubborn and evasive that he is about to marry a wife at the age of seventeen, and he has no formal official position yet. How can he make great achievements?"

"I really want to give him an official position, but he refuses to accept it." Li Shimin said helplessly.

Empress Changsun asked curiously: "What's going on?" Under normal circumstances, those who would refuse the official position conferred by the emperor are those so-called hermits who pretend to be noble. She didn't see such meaning in Li Xin at all. , so curious.

Li Shimin smiled wryly and said: "This monkey is clearly a traitor, but he has to say that he can't outmaneuver these adults in the court, so he simply won't be an official. Anyway, he can do things for the court without being an official. I don't care about him. There is a way."

Empress Changsun was puzzled and said, "How can you work for the court if you are not an official?"

Li Shimin smiled mysteriously, and said: "It's really possible. Maid of Guanyin, you have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and you don't know much about the outside news, but during this time, the big case in Shandong has been so noisy, you should still be able to hear some of it, right?"

Empress Changsun did not deny it. In fact, this time Li Shimin was furious and beheaded dozens of people at once, which was already the most murderous time since he came to the throne. The maids and servants were all talking about it, even if Empress Changsun wanted not to hear it, it probably wouldn't work.

"The concubine has certainly heard about it." Empress Changsun replied.

Li Shimin said mysteriously: "Then do you know why I was able to find out so many problematic accounts in one fell swoop this time?"

If Empress Changsun couldn't understand such an obvious hint, she would be called a good empress in vain. She tentatively asked, "Could it be because of Xin'er?"

Li Shimin nodded, and said: "Exactly. Xin'er unexpectedly learned their Dashi characters from the Dashi merchants at some point, plus a special accounting method he developed. After the officials of the household department learned it , the difficulty of checking the accounts has been greatly reduced, and even some loopholes that were not easy to find in the accounts in the past have become invisible. It is precisely because of these two things that the Ministry of Household Affairs has detected such a big case this time."

Empress Changsun laughed dumbly, and said: "So, in this incident, Xin'er also deserved credit, so His Majesty should reward him well?"

Li Shimin sighed: "The reward has already been given."

"What is it?" Empress Changsun asked, "Since Xin'er refuses to be an official, is it rewarded with money?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "It's not money."

"That's it?" Empress Changsun was a little puzzled.

Li Shimin told about Li Xin's intercession for the families of the prisoners.

Empress Changsun was very pleased and said, "Xin'er is still a pure and good-natured child."

Li Shimin agreed: "If it weren't for that, how could I indulge him so much?"

Empress Changsun smiled and asked: "What about this time? What great service did Xin'er do for His Majesty?"

Li Shimin said earnestly: "This time is a real great achievement! It is directly related to the fortune of our country in the next few decades of the Tang Dynasty!"

Empress Changsun's eyes lit up. She is not a stupid woman, she is even smarter than most men. She knew her husband very well, and in his eyes, she knew exactly what could be called the fate of the Tang Dynasty in the next few decades.

"Is it related to the Turks?" Although it was a question, Empress Changsun's tone was quite firm.

Li Shimin is not disgusted with the fact that his favorite wife can guess his mind. He nodded with a smile and said, "That's right."

"How is it possible?" After receiving Li Shimin's affirmation, Empress Changsun couldn't believe it.

Li Xin, just such a seventeen-year-old boy, who has not grown a few beards, can have any influence on the Tang Dynasty's affairs with the Turks? Then where to put the civil and military faces of Manchao?

Li Shimin enjoyed the unbelievable expression of Empress Changsun very much, and felt the pleasure of being shared.

"How is it impossible?" Li Shimin put the official document in front of Empress Changsun, and motioned her to read it, while he continued to enjoy his supper in a good mood.

Seeing this, Empress Changsun naturally didn't hesitate to read it at this time, but took the memorial in her hand and read it openly.

This memorial comes from Xu Jingchen, a medical officer of the Imperial Medical Office.

It turned out that after Li Xin casually told Xu Jingchen that he could use the method of before and after comparison to study the effect of the principle of aseptic operation on the incidence of puerperal fever, Xu Jingchen immediately applied to the great His Majesty Li Er for funding for the activity. After all, we all know you can't do anything without money, let alone in the field of medical trials. Especially in later generations, this is simply a bottomless pit of burning money. All kinds of expensive reagents cost thousands of dollars per milliliter, which makes people speechless.

Fortunately, this is Datang, and the experiment that Xu Jingchen intends to conduct is relatively elementary, and at most it will consume some personnel activities, so it is not too much.

In addition, His Majesty Li Er was very concerned about reducing the death rate of wounded soldiers, so naturally he had no reason to disagree. With a wave of his hand, he approved a sum of funds for Xu Jingchen, and at the same time ordered Xu Jingchen to be responsible for following up the matter.

Therefore, Xu Jingchen took this money to gather all the stable women registered in Chang'an, and gave them a three-day strict training. If they failed, they were strictly prohibited from delivering babies for others, and offenders were severely punished. .

Seeing that their jobs are about to be smashed, this group of women with an average age of about 30 years old has exploded with great potential, and their learning ability has gradually improved. In the end, more than 80% of them passed the exam successfully. She passed the final assessment and became a midwife approved by Xu Jingchen.

After that, Xu Jingchen collected the number of puerperal fever among all the puerperal women in Chang'an within a month, and calculated the incidence of puerperal fever according to Li Xinjiao's method.

Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was the well-deserved number one city in the world at that time, with a population of more than 800,000. On average, hundreds of people were born every day, that is to say, hundreds of pregnant women gave birth every day. After a month, Xu Jingchen also counted more than 20,000 pieces of data, and the results were shocking——

After adopting the aseptic principle written by Li Xin to deliver babies, the incidence of puerperal fever among pregnant women dropped to less than 20%. In the past, the data in Chang'an City was 50%.
