"The pharmacy hasn't been built yet, so it's really understandable that you're doing this. The country is in dire need, and my father is racking his brains and doing his best for this, and he doesn't dare to relax."
"The pharmacy can be self-sufficient. It is already doing a good job and has money. Please restrain yourself and don't make people hate you. The gain outweighs the loss."
Zhu Biao persuaded him seriously, and Zheng Xiong could only nod.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for informing me. I will definitely restrain myself. However, this system has already been issued and it is difficult for me to change it."
"Forget it, it's an internal matter of your pharmacy. The pharmacy earns its own money. What the Ministry of Works did was indeed unreasonable and excusable."
"Some people have really gone too far, and they don't even have basic protection for workers. It's good to take this opportunity to remind them. Pharmacy, don't worry, it's okay this time. I'm here to protect you for the time being."
"Remember to keep a low profile in the future. Pharmacies make money, so keep a low profile."
Looking into Zhu Biao's meaningful eyes, Zheng Xiong seemed to understand a little bit and asked half-understanding.
"I understand. Keep a low profile. You must be low-key."
"I would like to ask Your Highness whether the pharmacy's perfume business will be expanded next year. The current scale is still a bit small. As far as I know, many businessmen from other places come to Nanjing for special purchases, but most of them return empty-handed and disappointed. Come on, that’s a little bit unkind.”
With the same interests, Zhu Biao was naturally much closer to Zheng Xiong, and he didn't want Zheng Xiong to go wrong.
Facing Zheng Xiong's inquiry, the idea of making money came to Zhu Biao's mind. He opened a perfume business with the pharmacy for 50-50 years, which enriched his small treasury a lot. If he increased production, the money would be very considerable.
However, thinking of the situation in Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao gave up the idea of making a lot of money from perfume. As the successor trained by Lao Zhu, his vision will not be so narrow and he must consider everything.
"Let's forget it. People's lives are not easy. Making all this money makes me feel a little uneasy. It's really uneasy for my conscience to expand my palace any further. This scale will do."
Reason finally defeated the desire for money. Zhu Biao suppressed his inner greed and was reluctant to reply.
It was so beautiful that Zheng Xiong didn’t mention it too much, he only mentioned it.
"Your Highness has a lot of affairs. If I don't have anything to do with you, I'll take my leave first."
Zheng Xiong was the first to say goodbye, and Zhu Biao had a look of complaint. He had just taken a job for you. Although he had taken the initiative to propose it, you were about to leave without any expression of gratitude. You are a very bad person. It's all for nothing.
"Let's have a meal together. Don't leave yet. I've said it so many times in the past, but it never happened. Today, I have to let you fulfill your friendship as a landlord."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I dare not obey my orders."
Eat whatever you want, Zheng Xiong is not pretentious, and Zheng Xiong will not refuse Prince Zhu Biao's overtures.
Dinner consisted of the standard four dishes and one soup. As the prince, Zhu Biao took the lead as he should have.
No words were spoken during the meal, and no words were spoken during the meal.
After the meal, while the two were eating tea, Zhu Biao suddenly asked.
"Ti Ling, how much does Ti Ling know about the birth of a child between a man and a woman? It has been almost half a year, and there is still no movement in the princess's belly. What is the situation? Does Ti Ling know?"
This question was a bit personal. Zheng Xiong was stunned for a moment. Zhu Biao was a well-educated kid, and his spirit of not being ashamed to ask was admirable.
I have been single all my life, so I feel a little ashamed to answer this question?
Fortunately, he gained a lot of knowledge inexplicably. Zheng Xiong tried to think about it and replied.
"Your Highness, you know Tiankui."
Zhu Biao replied a little shyly, his voice sounding like a mosquito.
"Know."
"Germany usually has a pattern. If a woman has it a few times a month, or if you meet a woman who is particularly irritable a few days a month, that's when the geranium comes."
"What does this have to do with having children?"
"If there is a pattern, calculate the time when Tiankui will arrive next month and push it forward fourteen days. That is a woman's ovulation period. At this time, the yin and yang will be in harmony and get twice the result with half the effort."
"Oh, that's why."
"Don't you have a microscope, Your Highness? You can find out by observing more when you have free time."
"That's the story of a little tadpole looking for its mother."
"Then how to determine this so-called ovulation period."
"Leucorrhoea observation method: On the day of ovulation, the amount of leucorrhea is greater than usual, and the texture is thinner and easier to string. The leucorrhea requires more observation by Your Highness."
"In addition, some people have a layer of skin attached to the top. When that layer of skin grows, it is completely covered. If there is no strength, it will be difficult for the tadpole to find its mother. Your Highness can check if this is the problem."
"Well, it seems like my skin has grown a bit."
Looking at Zhu Biao's relatively mature cheeks, Zheng Xiong vaguely had an answer.
"Then cut it."
Zhu Biao tightened his legs and looked at Zheng Xiong in astonishment. He was asking himself to be a eunuch.
"What do you want to do? Are you going to make me a eunuch?"
"Your Highness, don't worry. How can I let you be a eunuch? It's not like I don't want to live anymore. What I mean is to cut off the top layer of skin."
"What difference does it make?"
"Eunuch, it's a full-length cut. It's a bit different from a thin layer of skin. Moreover, I have a method that won't cause any pain. For the sake of the emperor's grandson, your highness can try it."
"any solution?"
"It's too early to say this now. I will go back now and give instructions to the pharmacy to introduce this technique. The temptation of having children will surely attract some people to explore the way for His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhu Biao looked happy. It would be great if someone explored the way. Zheng Xiong said it lightly, but there was also some psychological pressure that needed to be endured.
Zheng Xiong returned to the pharmacy and told Zhang Peng the method of circumcision. It was not difficult. He just made a ring of similar size and put it inside, and wrapped it with a thread or something else to tighten it. Natural necrosis.
The risk is low and suitable for all ages.
Zheng Xiong also wrote down on paper what he said in today's conversation with the prince about how to get pregnant more easily, along with the benefits of skin incision, and posted it on the notice board at the door of the pharmacy.
The onlookers automatically became enthusiasts and read it to the illiterate person.
It was just a few sentences, read quickly, and the crowd of onlookers still couldn't get enough of it. Zheng Xiong's explanation was quite fresh, and they usually didn't pay much attention to it. But now the conclusion given by Zheng Xiong has awakened something that many people had ignored.
It makes sense when you think about it.
Soon, word spread from ten to ten, and the whole city of Nanjing was filled with the topic of pharmacies saying that it is easier to get pregnant during ovulation.
There are many people who cannot give birth to children. Zheng Xiongti's pharmacy has a solution. If this problem can be solved, it will be a great merit.
