"baby!"
"You said this kind of thing is also useful for babies? Can it also hatch babies?"
Zhu Biao opened his eyes wide, unable to believe that this thing had such a magical function.
Li Jin rolled his eyes and said angrily:
"I'm not talking about hatching, I'm talking about improving the baby's survival rate!!"
"It's not hatching."
Zhu Biao looked a little disappointed when he heard this. It seemed that he had thought too much, but when he heard the last word, he exclaimed:
"Increase survival rate? How is it possible?"
"is this real?"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma also stared at Li Jin nervously. If what Li Jin said was true, then this thing was indeed an artifact to the Ming Dynasty.
Before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the land of China experienced decades of war, and the population reached an extremely low point in history.
Now the people of the Ming Dynasty are in urgent need of recuperation, and the biggest problem in recuperation is population.
If the population can achieve rapid growth, then the prosperous age of the Ming Dynasty will be just around the corner.
Li Jin raised the corners of his mouth, nodded affirmatively, and said:
"Would I still lie to you about this kind of thing?"
"This is especially important for premature babies."
"You must know that premature babies are most afraid of cold. If you can use this thing to give premature babies a comfortable and warm environment, then the chance of premature babies surviving can be increased by 30%."
Don't underestimate this 30%, which can be said to be a miracle in ancient times.
You must know that in ancient times due to malnutrition and insufficient medical conditions, many babies were born prematurely.
Not to mention the private sector, there are also many premature babies in the palace, and once these premature babies are born, it is basically difficult to survive.
In ancient times, the main reason why the population did not increase was because the survival rate of infants and young children was too low.
But this kind of thing has been like this since ancient times. Even if there were miracle doctors like Hua Tuo and Bian Que in history, this problem could not be solved.
Now that Li Jin directly came up with such a thing and said that there was a way to solve this problem, the impact on Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma can be imagined.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly walked up to Li Jin, his eyes widened, grabbed Li Jin's clothes, and said excitedly:
"Is what you said true? Is it really that effective?"
Li Jin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's bloodshot eyes and was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to be so concerned about this kind of thing.
Gently patting Zhu Yuanzhang's palm away, Li Jin said slowly:
"Of course it's true. If you have time, you can go to the No. 1 Hospital. There are already two incubators being tested there."
"If the experiment is successful, then all maternal and obstetric departments in Shanghai County will be equipped with such incubators."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked slightly calm after hearing this.
Although I have never heard of a hospital, the literal meaning is probably a pharmacy.
"If the experiment is successful, you must notify us."
"No matter what, we will buy two and keep them at home."
Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to the royal descendants. If there is an incubator placed in the palace, when the royal descendants are born in the future, they will not have to worry about early death.
"This thing is very expensive, I'm afraid you won't be willing to pay for it!"
Li Jin thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's searching look and couldn't help but question:
"As you have seen, this thing requires a lot of crystals, and the price is not cheap."
In the end, he finally got to the point. Li Jin talked so much nonsense, but he still wanted to kill this big dog.
Although crystal was just a street stall to Li Jin, but to a country bumpkin like Zhu Yuanzhang, it was priceless.
Now that he has finally aroused the interest of this big dog, Li Jin is going to take a cruel blow.
However, when Li Jin mentioned the crystal again, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly.
Since arriving in Shanghu County, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this kind of crystal was no longer a rarity.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw a lot of them in Li Jin's mansion, and they were everywhere in the chicken farm. He had a vague feeling that Li Jin would definitely be able to get a lot of crystals.
"Li Jin, don't try to fool us."
"These crystals may be very valuable to others, but for you, it is very easy to get them."
"Do you still want to use these crystals to kill us?"
Hearing this, Li Jin's heart suddenly trembled, and then he looked into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.
He wanted to see through his eyes whether Zhu Yuanzhang was deceiving him or if he really saw the clues.
But Li Jin was destined to be disappointed. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were calm, as if he had everything under control, which made Li Jin undecided for a moment.
The method of making glass is one of Li Jin's core secrets. You must know that this thing will involve a lot of interests.
Even plane mirrors are made of glass, so only Li Jin knows how to make them.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang actually revealed the secret of Li Jin's ability to obtain the glass, which made Li Jin feel shocked and confused.
No matter how frightened he was in his heart, Li Jin did not show it on his face. Instead, he showed a hint of doubt:
"Why did Mr. Huang say this? Crystals are something that can only be found but not sought."
"I am just lucky. I have met several overseas businessmen before, so I was able to gather so much."
"If Mr. Huang thinks that crystal is cheap and easy to get, he is totally wrong."
"If Mr. Huang is not willing to buy it, then forget this deal."
If Zhu Yuanzhang really insists that crystal is cheap, then Li Jin would rather not do this deal than sell the glass to Zhu Yuanzhang at a low price.
After all, Li Jin now has the technical advantage and firmly controls the upstream. Li Jin alone has the final say on how to set prices.
He would never lower prices and harm his own profits just because of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, but also imitated Li Jin and stared at Li Jin, trying to see some flaws in it.
However, Li Jin also showed no abnormality, leaving Zhu Yuanzhang with nothing to say.
Queen Ma next to her saw that the two of them seemed to be fighting again, so she came out to smooth things over and said:
"I wonder how much Mr. Li plans to sell this incubator for?"
Li Jin stretched out a finger and said:
"One hundred thousand taels!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately became furious and shouted:
"You're selling this broken coffin for one hundred thousand taels?"
"Are you crazy about money and your brain is damaged?"
Li Jin ignored Zhu Yuanzhang. He had already expected Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction. Instead, he said to Queen Ma:
"My incubator is completely different from this incubator."
"The incubator is all made of crystal, which has better heating and insulation effects and can better provide the most suitable temperature for the baby."
"And because it's made entirely of crystal, there's no need to open the coffin lid like this to see clearly what's inside."
"Adults can always observe the baby's behavior, and they can quickly solve the problem even if the baby is hungry or thirsty."
"So one hundred thousand taels of silver is definitely worth it."
The more Empress Ma listened, the more excited she became. This kind of thing would be absolutely necessary for the palace in the future.
If it could be obtained when the experiment was successful, the children in the harem would not have to suffer such a heavy punishment.
Queen Ma was about to agree, but Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted:
"Let's wait until you succeed in the experiment first."
With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to leave here with Zhu Biao and Queen Ma.
He finally understood that every time he came to Shanghu County, Li Jin always thought of ways to take money out of his pocket.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear this, and he wanted to leave here immediately.
But before he could walk out of the door, he was stopped by Li Jin.
"Why did Mr. Huang leave in such a hurry?"
"Is it because I don't treat guests well?"
How could Li Jin let Zhu Yuanzhang leave like this? He had just sharpened his knife to attack the pigs and sheep, but before he opened the knife, the fat sheep was about to run away?
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said:
"We're afraid that if we stay any longer, all the money in our pockets will be emptied by you."
Li Jin smiled, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would see through his idea.
But Li Jin had another trick. Li Jin said with a smile:
"What did Mr. Huang say? We are working together for a win-win situation."
"But I have a bigger deal here, and I want to do it with Mr. Huang. I wonder what Mr. Huang wants?"
"Big deal?"
