The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 106 Zheng Xiong's Countermeasure

There are a lot of letters and memorials, most of which are handed in by officials. Late marriage and late childbearing are indeed not a good choice for Ming Dynasty at this stage.

For the sake of ordinary people, Lao Zhu himself asked the pharmacy to explore the way.

I and Queen Ma are also representatives of late marriage and late childbearing. The children born to Queen Ma have grown up well, and none of them died.

There is support for late marriage and late childbearing advocated by the pharmacy, but not much. I have said it, and I know that population is the most practical.

Although what Zheng Xiong wrote now is shocking, it is indeed cowardly.

In the early morning of the next day, Lao Zhu directly threw out the four issues of the pharmacy's periodicals.

"This is a journal issued by Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau yesterday, a series of views on late marriage and late childbirth. You can just listen to the rest."

The little eunuch next to Lao Zhu held the periodical and read it aloud with a male duck voice.

After listening to the periodical, everyone didn't know what was going on, and went straight to the point. After all, the Huimin Pharmacy under the leadership of Zheng Xiong had never disappointed anyone.

As for the explanation given by the Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau about late marriage and late childbearing, it is a headache. If you ask a question, you slap your ass and leave. It seems to be a step back, but it is actually even more uncomfortable.

It's fine if you don't know, knowing the seriousness of the problem, now you feel like you're stuck in your throat, and you can't spit it out, but it seems that you can only hold back.

"Your Majesty, although the pharmacy only said to provide advice, this statement is the beginning of pain for the people of the world. It is not easy for ordinary people to raise a girl. If they keep them for a few more years, can they really afford it? After all, sometimes ignorance is also a blessing. I hope Your Majesty will send the journal back and reprint it."

The angle was quite good, and Lao Zhu couldn't help but nodded. Common people are often unwilling to raise girls after they are born. It is not easy to drag them to the age of marriage, and they may not be willing to raise them for a few more years.

"The pharmacy has said it all. It's just a reference suggestion. The final decision is still in the hands of the common people. There is no need to say more about it. Besides, do you think it is easy for the common people to marry a daughter-in-law? It really is gone. Maybe you will be single for the rest of your life."

When it comes to being single, Lao Zhu has the right to speak. He only married his wife at the age of 24. If he said too much, he would cry. If he is not capable, it is not impossible to be single for a lifetime.

"There is no need to discuss this matter again, let the people choose for themselves."

Lao Zhu set the tone, giving a result to the influence of Zheng Xiong's three journals and defending Zheng Xiong.

Seeing this, the officials didn't say much, even though Zheng Xiong led his own boy to his side, even though the suggestion of late marriage and late childbearing delayed his concubines and wives.

But what's the matter, the pharmacy that Zheng Xiong raised is really fragrant, who hasn't had a headache, and if one day the crime falls into the hands of the pharmacy, his own life will still have to depend on the pharmacy.

Smart people have already seen through it, shut up and didn't say a word, but there is no lack of head iron, an old minister came out and said to Lao Zhu.

"Your Majesty, Zi once said: If there is more land but not enough people, the gentleman is ashamed.

The words of the Pharmacy Bureau are indeed words that harm the country, and I hope that Your Majesty will treat the crime of Zheng Xiong of the Pharmacy Bureau so as to calm the hearts of the people in the world. "

A few people jumped out in twos and threes, all of whom wanted to punish Zheng Xiong. As for the achievements of Zheng Xiong's Huimin Pharmacy, they pretended not to see it.

"Your Majesty, merit is merit, and demerits are demerits. Merits and demerits cannot be offset. The ministers and others agree."

"Then what are you doing?"

"I also hope that Zheng Xiong, His Majesty's Criminal Medicine Bureau, will make the people feel at ease."

Lao Zhu was still a little patient, and he justified a few words at the pharmacy bureau.

"What the pharmacy said may be alarmist, and what the pharmacy said may be inconsistent. In my opinion, there is no difference between late birth and early birth. It is really like what the pharmacy said. The number of cases of one dead and two lives will be greatly reduced. Why is this so?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know, I only know that what the sage once said and what the sage said, I think there will be no mistakes."

Looking at the old clappers, Lao Zhu couldn't help but feel a little difficult to deal with. He was not afraid of anything, except that these old guys would touch porcelain.

"Okay, let's discuss this matter again, everyone, let's get back!"

With a wave of Lao Zhu's big hand, he was about to wave back several people, but who knew how many people were really hard-headed, insisting that Lao Zhu punish Zheng Xiong.

"Your Majesty, if Zheng Xiong from the Pharmacy Bureau is not convicted, we will not be able to kneel down."

"Why, you are threatening me."

Facing the few people who didn't know how to advance or retreat, Lao Zhu's anger rose in a flash, and he couldn't say anything, because he really thought he had a good temper.

"Don't dare."

"What else are you afraid of?"

"Come here, because you are old, now you will have your official status removed and sent back to your original place, and you will never be hired."

Hearing Lao Zhu's will, Mao Xiang led a team to drag the few people out, even though they were crying loudly, it didn't help.

"Is there anyone else who wants to kneel down and persuade me to change my mind like these old guys, you can stand up now."

Facing Lao Zhu, who was still angry, all the officials spoke one after another.

"Don't dare."

"Retirement, the above is what happened in the court today. The three third- and fourth-rank officials all went back to their hometowns to farm. There is nothing else about the pharmacy."

"A few old clappers, still planting shitty land, obviously went home to enjoy the blessings."

After listening to Yang Yitian's retelling, Zheng Xiong was also hooked into anger, he was obviously cowardly, and he was still chasing after him.

Although the steelyard in Lao Zhu's heart is biased towards him, but if there is one, there will be two. If you don't fight back, people will think that the pharmacy is weak and can be bullied?This time, they must understand the role of the pharmacy.

"You will draw up a list of those who are opposed by the court later, and exclude these people from the pharmacy's policy of benefiting the people. The pharmacy will not treat them and post them at the door of the pharmacy."

"Also, send a letter to the Huimin Pharmacy Bureau, which has returned to their hometown, to tell us about our rules."

"Tiling, we can't control the place. They may not listen to the letter once it is sent."

"You don't need to worry about the place, you just have to show your attitude. Let's talk about whether the Huimin Pharmacy in Yingtianfu can do it."

"Yes, but at the command of your lord."

"Okay, you've been tired all morning, so go take a rest after finishing this job, and see how you look now, you've lost weight."

Hearing Zheng Xiong's caring words, Yang Yitian was really moved and shed tears of emotion.

adults understand me.

"Thank you Tiling for your concern. I'll do it right now. I don't know if Tiling can give Xiaguan a few days off. You also said that Xiaguan has lost weight and needs to rest. Or ask Medical Officer Wu to go and rest for a few days, so that I can better handle Tiling's work."

Putting his nose on his face, Zheng Xiong looked at Yang Yitian quietly, looked at Yang Yitian at a loss, and replied weakly.

"Withdrawal, or a day."

"I will go to Wu You later to prescribe some tonics for you. It will be on my own account. It's fine to ask Wu You to replace it. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If Wu You can't do it, it has to be you. Don't let me down."

Walking out of Zheng Xiong's office with a dejected face, Yang Yitian choked up speechless and looked up at the sky.
