Zhu Youtang's illness was caused by excessive sugar intake. In this era, it can be said to be a disease of wealth.
Ordinary people can't afford sweets except during holidays, which also leads to... Zhang Sloppy is not very good at it either.
It is mentioned in medical books, but there is no prescription for the disease.
Li Qing was a little worried.
Zhu Youtang's illness is already a bit serious. It does not mean that he can recover from it by giving up sugar. However, if he controls his sugar intake, loses weight, and exercises appropriately, his body will not be endangered.
However, quitting sugar and losing weight are not easy.
If you don't have strong willpower, you can't do this at all. Looking at Zhu Youtang like this... there is a high probability that he will not be able to endure this hardship.
Come on, if you get depressed again, it will be great fun.
This is not an exaggeration at all. Forced physical withdrawal will cause extreme emotional irritability and easily lead to depression.
Li Qing still vaguely remembered that when he was in school, his math teacher quit smoking, and finally he got rid of depression. Thanks to Hua Zi, he turned the tide and pulled him back.
What's more, the human body needs to consume some sugar, and it doesn't mean that if you don't eat sugar, you won't consume sugar.
Even staple foods such as steamed buns and rice contain a lot of sugar, and people consume sugar without even realizing it. gòйЪ.ōΓg
But the problem is that Zhu Youtang's situation is too serious. If he continues to eat sweets unscrupulously, he will probably not be able to bear it.
Not only is the problem of excessive sugar intake, but Zhu Youtang's obesity cannot be ignored. It's just that he has a small frame, so he doesn't look too fat.
In fact... although Zhu Youtang's tonnage is not as good as Xiaopang, his obesity level is not far behind.
Excessive obesity can also induce other diseases...
Li Qing sighed: "Forget it, let's give it a try first. If it doesn't work, then think of another way. As for Queen Zhang, it's not that important. Just take care of her slowly."
By the way, there is also Zhu Jianshen's prescription for improving performance while achieving the 'ligation' effect..."
Li Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head. There are so many things...

The desolation of winter becomes more and more obvious. When I wake up early in the morning, there is white frost all over the ground. The walls and branches are covered with white. When I breathe, white heat rises.
"Is it already so cold..." Li Qing muttered to himself.
These days, he has been lying in bed and only got up in the middle of the afternoon. When he got up early today, he realized that the capital was already so cold.
You know, it's not the winter solstice yet.
Li Qing looked even more sad. The only thing that made him happy was that Tudou was not afraid of the cold.
After washing up, Li Qing walked out and walked aimlessly while thinking about the future of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, if the climate remains like this, there is no need to worry, because the severe cold at this stage is far from a life-and-death situation.
It is certain that crop yields have declined, but it is not serious. Food is still not a problem. Except for a few places affected by drought and floods, there is no famine among the people.
I'm afraid this severe cold is far from the limit.
These days, Li Qing is also deducing the growth line of the population of the Ming Dynasty. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the population has been growing, especially after Renxuan.
Rest and recuperation, coupled with the large-scale popularization of potatoes and sweet potatoes, led to a population explosion.
This potential energy is so strong that it is still pushing the population upward to this day. However, Li Qing believes that this potential energy will not move forward endlessly.
The people are simple, but they are not stupid. On the contrary, in this era of low productivity, the people are much more sensitive to the food and clothing line than those in power.
When it really reaches a critical juncture, population growth will naturally slow down.
What Li Qing is worried about is not the endless growth of the population. What he is worried about is that after the population stops growing, it will still not be possible for the people to live a life of food and clothing.
Unknowingly, he walked out of Lianjia Village and came to the cultivated area outside the village.
Li Qing knelt down and observed. The wheat seedlings were only two inches tall, but they were green and very cold-tolerant. It seemed that they could fully cope with the severe cold weather now.
This reassured Li Qing that the problem was not serious and he still had plenty of time to arrange things calmly.
The red sun rises and turns golden...
The hoarfrost and fog in the fields slowly dissipated with the sunshine.
Li Qing faced the sun, feeling the warmth, and thought to himself: It would be nice if it could be warmer.
…
Back home,
It's the end of Chen time.
The door was surrounded by royal guards and a luxurious carriage. The door was also opened.
Li Qing was a little angry.
Jin Yiwei didn't give him time to get angry. As soon as he saw him coming back, he immediately said: "The emperor has a decree, please ask Divine Doctor Li to enter the palace as soon as possible."
"How did you open the door?" Li Qing frowned.
"There is a key in the palace." Jinyibaihu explained, "This house was built by the Supreme Emperor for Marquis Yongqing. In the past, slaves would come to clean it every once in a while. There is a key in the palace."
Then, he urged: "Your Majesty is urging me urgently. I would also like to ask Divine Doctor Li not to delay any more. Please get on the carriage quickly."
"...Okay." Li Qing sighed, locked the door, and got into the carriage.

Royal study room.
Zhu Youtang was still reviewing the memorials. He stopped when he saw him coming in. He waved away the waiting servants and said, "Come and sit down."
Li Qing stepped forward and sat down.
"Is there any good prescription?" Zhu Youtang asked.
Li Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, have you eaten any more sweets from yesterday to now?"
"No."
"How does it feel?"
Zhu Youtang sighed and said, "It's a bit annoying, I always want to eat."
Li Qing: "..."
However, this is also a normal reaction. Li Qing thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, eating too much sugar and being overweight will cause... to some extent affect sexual intercourse."
"Ah?" Zhu Youtang was shocked, "Seriously?"
"How dare common people deceive the emperor?" Li Qing said seriously, with a serious expression.
There was no other way but to scare him, otherwise, Zhu Youtang would not be able to quit sugar just because of his fear of self-control.
Men care about that aspect even more than their lives. Li Qing's trick is quite effective.
Zhu Youtang swallowed his saliva and said: "Don't worry, you are not joking. I said I don't want to eat sweets, so I won't eat sweets."
He couldn't help but be afraid, and the hand holding the tea cup was trembling a little, "I drink tea. Is it okay to drink tea?"
Li Qing suppressed his laughter and nodded: "Of course you can drink tea. Drinking more hot water can promote metabolism, but don't drink too much."
"Hey, okay." Zhu Youtang was quite obedient.
After a pause, he added: "Is my illness serious?"
"As long as the emperor can quit eating sugar and lose weight, it won't be a big problem." Li Qing said, "No matter how good the prescription is, it can't be as good as the emperor not eating sugar and losing weight."
"Why are you so thin?"
"Control your diet and exercise appropriately." Li Qing thought for a while and added: "In this way, I will make a recipe that can effectively help the emperor lose weight."
"That's good." Zhu Youtang was overjoyed.
Giving up sugar can alleviate the symptoms, and eating can also help him lose weight, which completely puts his heart at ease.
"Does Divine Doctor Li have any idea about the prescription?"
Li Qing smiled slightly and pretended to be profound: "A wise doctor will not prescribe medicine easily. As the saying goes: medicine is three-part poison; the emperor's dragon body is precious gold, so naturally one must be cautious."
"Is that so..." Zhu Youtang didn't know how serious it was, but felt uneasy at the same time, "Can the disease be cured without taking medicine?"
Li Qing opened his mouth and said: "Medicine therapy is not as good as diet therapy, and diet therapy is not as good as exercise therapy. A reasonable diet, regular work and rest, and appropriate exercise are the best choices."
Zhu Youtang nodded slowly, then suddenly remembered something and looked at Li Qing hesitantly.
Seeing this, Li Qing said: "Don't hide your illness from medical treatment. Your Majesty, please don't feel embarrassed."
Zhu Youtang nodded and asked in a low voice: "Do I need to ban sex?"
"..." Li Qing shook his head: "No need."
"That's good, then... ahem, since you're here, go to Changle Palace and have a look. Also, how to recuperate the queen, we must come up with a charter as soon as possible." Zhu Youtang quickly picked up the ink pen and opened it. memorial to relieve the embarrassment.
Li Qing held back his laughter and stood up: "The common people resign."
"Well, walk slowly."

Changle Palace.
Li Qing didn't say anything about Zhu Youtang, so as not to cause trouble to Zhu Jianshen, he just gave him some acupuncture.
In fact, acupuncture is not necessary, but he always feels that something is missing if he doesn't get a needle.
Zhu Jianshen lay on the soft couch and while receiving the needle prick, he did not forget to ask:
"Do you have any idea about the prescription?"
"With some."
"Do you have any clues about how to solve the Ming Dynasty's Qianqiu Plan?" Zhu Jianshen asked again.
"This... the general policy is still what I said before, making money all over the world through trade, backed by a powerful navy." Li Qingdao, "As for the specific plan, I don't have a clue yet."
Zhu Jianshen tilted his head and glanced at him, humming: "Are you afraid that you have an idea and won't tell me?"
He actually saw it? Li Qing looked surprised.
Seeing Li Qing like this, Zhu Jianshen knew that he was right, and immediately said with a serious face: "Say it quickly."
"Not yet mature."
"Let's talk about it," Zhu Jianshen said, "Two cobblers are just like Zhuge Liang; we can discuss it!"
Li Qing said with a smile: "Aren't they the Three Stooges?"
"...I'll stand up to you both!" Zhu Jianshen snorted and urged: "Stop being careless and tell me quickly."
"Trade is at sea." Li Qing said.
"I know this, what else?"
Li Qingdao: "If you want to make money all over the world through trade, goods must be competitive."
"speak English!"
"It means good quality and low price." Li Qing said, "Wu Mei, this has been achieved, but the low price... is still far from enough."
"Are you still lowering the price?" Zhu Jianshen was unhappy. "The profit is not high right now. If it continues to drop...how much money will it make?"
Li Qing said: "Improve production efficiency and reduce product costs."
"How to improve?"
Li Qing was silent for a moment and said: "Do you still remember the industrial development I mentioned at the beginning?"
Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, "Supporting rich gentry?"
"It can't be considered support," Li Qing said. "It's just a matter of relaxing the controls appropriately and letting them come out. While doing business, it can become bigger and stronger, and at the same time, it can drive economic development..."
Internal circulation, global economy... these are more difficult to understand than the "Five Oranges". Zhu Jianshen listened in confusion, but he also vaguely felt the benefits.
Zhu Jianshen didn't know much about economics, but he was a good master of imperial power.
He immediately raised a key question: "After those wealthy gentry become bigger and stronger, how can they prevent themselves from being unable to lose their power and even force the imperial power?"
