The reason why Yun Chao took out the forceps was to reduce the infant's mortality rate.
One of the main reasons why the average life expectancy in ancient times was so low was that the infant mortality rate was too high.
Once dystocia occurs, it is not only as simple as the death of the baby, but also in serious cases, the life of the mother cannot be saved. Often one person is killed and two people are killed, which is a complete human tragedy.
Why did the ancients say that big butts make it easier to have children, so many people are willing to marry women with big butts?
The reason is that women with this body type are not prone to dystocia when giving birth.
Women with large buttocks tend to have wider pelvises, making it easier to give birth.
Of course, this is not absolute. Some women have larger buttocks, which does not necessarily mean their pelvis is wide, or it may be that their gluteal muscles are relatively developed.
The forceps invented by Yun Chao... Ahem, in the Dawu Dynasty, forceps was invented by Yun Chao. There is nothing wrong with this statement.
Forceps are midwifery tools used to clamp the head of a difficult-to-delivery baby and pull the baby out of the birth canal.
If the baby is born upside down, that is, the baby comes out butt first, the forceps will be of no use.
Although there are certain restrictions, the forceps is still very effective, so Zhao Runchun said that Yun Chao has countless people alive, which is not an exaggeration.
In the past, ordinary people did not even have enough to eat. Even if some babies did not die young, they might not be able to feed them. To be precise, they could not afford to feed them.
It's different now. Yunchao has brought a bumper harvest to Qingyang County. As long as the child can be born smoothly, he usually won't starve to death.
Of course, this is the kind of treatment that only families who follow Yun Chao can get. Those die-hards who refuse to follow Yun Chao even to the death, let alone children, may not even be able to support adults!
If Yunchao wants to develop its base, it cannot do without a population. Especially when the territory is limited, how to significantly increase the population is a problem that Yunchao must consider.
Therefore, he not only produced forceps, but also prepared to give Zhao Runchun a task.
"Old Zhao, I am going to gather the stable women in our county for a surprise training. Please give them a lesson and teach them the specific use of forceps."
Zhao Runchun jumped three feet high: "Don't look for me, I won't do it!"
Just kidding, the dignified No. 1 doctor in Qingyang County taught a class to a group of midwives. If word spread, it would bring shame to my grandma’s house!
Yun Chao didn't even try to dissuade her. After the midwives arrive, you will have to teach me whether you want to teach me or not. That's not up to you!
"Old Zhao, can you treat smallpox?"
"smallpox?"
One second ago, Zhao Runchun's mind was filled with thoughts of the midwife. When he heard about smallpox, he immediately withered.
Although traditional Chinese medicine has a certain effect on smallpox, the effect is not stable. Some people can be cured, and some people are still dead.
Moreover, even if people who have contracted smallpox do not die, many of them will become pockmarked, which seriously affects their appearance.
"Yun Er, I have a method called smallpox technique, which can prevent smallpox. However, it has a certain mortality rate, so it is generally not used very much..."
"oh?"
Yun Chao is not a medical student, and he has little knowledge of ancient knowledge. He has never heard of the variolation technique that Zhao Runchun said.
After careful questioning, Yun Chao finally found out what the variolation technique was about.
Smallpox is a very powerful virus, but it has a weakness. As long as you survive it once, you will never get it again in this life.
The principle of variolation is to use artificial methods to infect healthy people with mild smallpox, and then they will be immune to it for life.
It is said that Sun Simiao, the king of medicine in the Tang Dynasty, followed the principle of fighting poison with poison, and applied a small amount of acne fluid from smallpox patients to the skin of healthy people to cause them to become slightly sick. If they survived, they would have the ability to resist smallpox in the future.
Later, the variolation technique was improved and was called nasal vaccination method, which is to grind the acne scabs shed by acne sufferers into powder and blow a small amount into the nostrils of healthy people to cause acne.
However, variolation has a certain mortality rate, and most people rarely gamble with their lives.
What if you don't get smallpox but die from vaccination, it will be a huge loss.
Therefore, variolation is not widely used among the people.
After listening to Zhao Runchun's introduction, Yun Chao smiled slightly: "Old Zhao, the variolation technique you mentioned has flaws, but I have a method with minimal flaws and almost negligible mortality. I wonder if you are interested?"
"What?"
Zhao Runchun stood up suddenly.
"Yun Er, you're not kidding, are you telling the truth?"
Yun Chao pressed his hand: "Old Zhao, sit down and don't get excited. If a blood vessel bursts, I won't be able to explain to Little Swan."
Zhao Runchun's eyes widened: "Yun Er, this is no joke. Do you have any way to prevent smallpox?"
Yun Chao saw that Zhao Runchun was really anxious, so he stopped teasing him. If the old guy had his hair cut off, the loss would be great.
Zhao Runchun is the target of Yun Chao's training. He is a highly sophisticated technical talent. If he dies, Yun Chao will be heartbroken.
"Old Zhao, your method is to vaccinate with variola, and my method is to vaccinate with cowpox. Find those cows that have pox and try the variolation method. You may get unexpected gains!"
"What? Vaccine?"
Zhao Runchun looked incredulous: "Can the acne liquid from cows be used on humans?"
Yun Chao smiled slightly: "Try it, you won't lose a piece of meat if you try it."
Zhao Runchun asked for a long time, but he didn't ask anything, so he started to chase people away!
He wants to go out in a hurry to find the pox cow!
It wasn't that Yun Chao was trying to be mysterious by saying half of the vaccine should be left in half. The main reason was that he didn't know the specific method of vaccination.
In fact, Yun Chao had never been vaccinated against cowpox in his previous life.
By the time he was born, the smallpox virus had disappeared from nature and vaccinations had stopped.
However, Yun Chao had seen the plum blossom mark on the little master's arm in his previous life. It was said that it was left behind when he was vaccinated with cowpox when he was a child.
After being kicked out of the house by Zhao Runchun, Yun Chao was not only not angry, but also very happy. If all his subordinates were like Lao Zhao, who risked their lives for their work, how much less worry would he have?
…
"Brother Chao, Huang Tongpuan from Dongping Prefecture is here. Magistrate Sun is accompanying him to drink tea in the county government office. He wants to see you by name!"
Yun Chao now gets a headache when he hears Huang Tongpan's name.
The person named Huang is bound to be up to no good. He either wants to extort money or wants to collect taxes.
"Don't be in a hurry. Just go ahead and tell me that I'm going to the countryside. Let Huang Tongpuan wait for two days and dry out that old cunt first!"
"yes!"
After sending away the men who reported the news, Yun Chao went home for dinner.
Going to the countryside?
In his own little land, Yun Chao doesn't have to act at all.
Even if he was sitting at home drinking tea or even walking on the street, Huang Tongpan would not know.
Huang Tongjian was left to dry for two days.
Yun Chaocai arrived belatedly.
While waiting, Huang Tongpuan went from angry to helpless and lost his temper.
"Yunchao, are you not going to pay taxes this time?"
