There were baskets of letters and memorials, most of which were delivered by officials. Late marriage and late childbearing were indeed not a good choice for the Ming Dynasty at this stage.
Lao Zhu himself also asked the pharmacy to explore the way for the sake of ordinary people.
I and Empress Ma are also representatives of late marriage and late childbearing. The children they had with Empress Ma grew up well, and none of them died in infancy.
There is support for late marriage and late childbearing advocated by the pharmacy, but not much. Zi has said that she also knows that population is the most practical.
Although what Zheng Xiong writes now is embarrassing, it is indeed cowardly.
On the morning of the next day, Lao Zhu threw out four issues of the pharmacy.
"This is a journal published by Huimin Pharmacy yesterday. It contains a series of opinions on late marriage and late childbearing. You can just listen to the rest."
The little eunuch next to Lao Zhu held the journal and read it loudly in a drake voice.
After listening to the journal, everyone was confused and said that it was awesome. After all, Huimin Pharmacy under the leadership of Zheng Xiong had never disappointed anyone.
As for the explanation given by Huimin Pharmacy about late marriage and late childbearing, it is very confusing. If you ask questions, you will just slap your butt and leave. It seems to be a step back, but in fact it makes people even more uncomfortable. Who doesn't have a daughter yet?
It's okay if I don't know. I know the seriousness of the problem, but now it feels like it's stuck in my throat. I can't spit it out quickly, but it seems I can only hold it in.
"Your Majesty, although the pharmacy only said to provide suggestions, once these words are spoken, it is the beginning of pain for the people of the world. It is not easy for ordinary people to raise a daughter. If they keep it for so many more years, can they really afford it? ? After all, sometimes ignorance can be bliss. I hope your Majesty will send the journal back and reprint it."
The angle was quite good, and Lao Zhu couldn't help but nod. People are often reluctant to raise girls after they have given birth to them. It's not easy to get them to the age of marriage. If they raise girls for a few more years, they may not be willing to do it.
"The pharmacy has said it. It's just a reference suggestion. The final decision is still in the hands of the people. There is no need to say more. Besides, do you think it is easy for the people to marry a wife? If it is really gone, you may have to fight in this life. Bachelor."
When it comes to being single, Lao Zhu has a say. He only married his wife at the age of twenty-four. He sheds tears whenever he talks about it. If he wasn't quite capable, it would not be impossible to remain single all his life.
"This matter does not need to be discussed further, let the people make their own choice."
Lao Zhu set the tone, giving a result to the impact of Zheng Xiong's three issues of the journal and safeguarding Zheng Xiong.
When the officials saw this, they didn't say much, even though their son was led astray by Zheng Xiong, and even though the suggestion of late marriage and late childbearing delayed them from taking concubines and marrying wives.
But what the heck, the pharmacy that Zheng Xiong picked up smells really good. Who doesn’t have a headache or a fever? If one day he falls into the hands of the pharmacy, his life will have to depend on the pharmacy.
The smart people had already seen through it and kept silent. However, there was no shortage of strong-willed people. An old minister walked out and said to Lao Zhu.
“Your Majesty, Master once said: It is a shame for a gentleman to have more land but not enough people.
What the Pharmacy said is really harmful to the country. I hope that Your Majesty will punish Zheng Xiong of the Pharmacy to calm the hearts of the people in the world. "
Several people jumped out in twos and threes, all wanting to punish Zheng Xiong. As for the achievements made by Zheng Xiong's Huimin Pharmacy, a few people pretended not to see it.
"Your Majesty, merit is merit and fault is fault. Merits and faults cannot be offset. I second my opinion."
"Then what are you waiting for?"
"I also hope that your majesty will punish Zheng Xiong of the Pharmacy, so that the people can feel at ease."
Lao Zhu was still a little patient and defended the drugstore a few words.
"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. As the pharmacy said, the number of cases of one death and two lives will be greatly reduced. , why is this so?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know. I only know that Zi once said that what the sage said will not make any mistakes."
Looking at the few old bangers, Lao Zhu couldn't help but feel that it was a bit difficult to deal with. He was not afraid of anything but that these old guys would get into trouble.
"Okay, let's discuss this later. You guys, please step aside!"
With a wave of his hand, Lao Zhu was about to drive away a few people. Unexpectedly, a few people were really stubborn and insisted on Lao Zhu punishing Zheng Xiong.
"Your Majesty, if Zheng Xiong of the Pharmacy is not punished, we will never be able to kneel down."
"Why, you are threatening me."
Facing a few people who didn't know how to advance or retreat, Lao Zhu's anger suddenly boiled up. He couldn't say anything, but he really thought he had a good temper.
"Don't dare."
"What else do you dare not to do?"
"Come here, because of your advanced age, your official status will be removed and sent back to your place of origin. You will never be hired again."
After hearing Lao Zhu's order, Mao Xiang led the team and dragged several people out. No matter how loudly they cried, 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 together.
"Don't dare."
"Withdrawal, the above are the affairs that happened in the court today. The three third- and fourth-grade officials have returned to their hometowns to farm. There is nothing else to do about the pharmacy."
"A few old guys are still farming shit, but they're obviously going home to enjoy their happiness."
After listening to Yang Yitian's retelling, Zheng Xiong was also aroused. Even though he was scared, he still pursued him.
Although the scale in Lao Zhu's heart was tilted towards him, but if there was one, there would be two. If he didn't fight back, would others think that the pharmacy was weak and could be bullied? This time it is necessary to let them understand the role of the pharmacy.
"You will draw up a list of those who are opposed in the court later, and exclude these people from the pharmacy's policies to benefit the people. The pharmacy will not treat them, and they will be posted on the door of the pharmacy."
"Also, send a letter to Huimin Pharmacy, which has returned to their hometowns, and explain our rules."
"Withdrawal, we can't control the place. If you send this letter, they may not listen."
"You don't have to worry about the local government. Just show your attitude and tell us whether our Huimin Pharmacy in Yingtianfu can do it."
"Yes, but it depends on your orders."
"Okay, you've been tired all morning. After you finish this work, go and take a rest. Look at how you look now. You've lost weight."
After hearing Zheng Xiong's caring words, Yang Yitian was really moved and shed tears of emotion.
The adults understand me.
"Thank you Ti Ling for your concern. I'll take care of it now. I don't know if Ti Ling can give me a few days off. You also said that Xiang Guan has lost weight and needs to rest. Or you can ask Dr. Wu to go and help Xiaguan for a few days. Go and rest so that you can better handle the matter."
It's on the nose and on the face. Zheng Xiong looked at Yang Yitian quietly, making Yang Yitian feel at a loss and replied weakly.
"Withdraw it, or you can take one day."
"I'll go to Wu You later to prescribe some tonics for you. It'll be on my head. Just ask Wu You to replace me. The greater your ability, the greater your responsibility. If Wu You can't do it, it has to be you. Don't let me." disappointment."
After walking out of Zheng Xiong's office with a depressed look on his face, Yang Yitian was speechless and choked up, looking up at the sky.
