Chapter 232 Xiao Qi’s first child is born
Xiao Qi sounded the alarm in his heart, and secretly decided that he must be careful and vigilant in the future.
Then he ordered someone to send an order to collect animal fat throughout the Song Dynasty. No matter what kind of animal fat is collected in the future, it will be boiled and sent to the Great Song Foundry Bureau.
In order to filter out the impurities in the grease, it will save unnecessary wear and tear on the machine in the future.
Xiao Qi also got a large amount of silk to make a funnel for removing impurities, and sent it to the Foundry Bureau to filter the grease.
Because these oils are flammable, Xiao Qi specially designated the production and storage location of this oil to a remote barren slope, and formulated a strict fire prevention system.
After doing this, Xiao Qi felt that he always encountered a matter that required the establishment of an industrial workshop, and it was too unplanned to temporarily arrange the place, so he asked the emperor again for an order.
He wants to build a large industrial park near the large seaports that have been built in Song Dynasty.
Zhao Shen has long been used to his son-in-law's weird thoughts from time to time, anyway, whatever Xiao Qi does is beneficial to Da Song.
Zhao Shen didn't discuss with the ministers, and directly ordered that Xiao Qi can choose any suitable place for the wasteland near the port to build his industrial park.
After receiving the imperial decree from her father-in-law, Xiao Qi immediately wrote down her request and sent people to find suitable places near those ports.
Xiao Qi's requirements for these locations are very simple. For industry, water is definitely needed. It is required that these industrial parks must be close to water sources, and the terrain should be slightly higher. If there is any flood in the province, the industrial park will be submerged.
As for the issue of environmental pollution, all the things that are made now are made of natural plants, and the chemical pollution in the previous life is not considered at all.
The biggest problem is the planning of the rubber industrial park, because Xiao Qi has a vague impression that it seems to have a pungent smell.
However, from the information that I don't know much from the previous life, it seems that some small workshops are set up in the small yard of my home, and there should be no serious harm except for the bad taste.
Because Xiao Qi didn't know whether the refining method given to him by the system in the future would cause pollution such as heavy smoke and smell.
He built the rubber factory directly on a wasteland with a slightly higher terrain at the downwind of some distance from the port, after planning the industrial park.
Xiao Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although these industrial parks do not have any projects that can be put into operation, they have paved the way for their future industrialization.
Back in the Song Dynasty, Xiao Qi had nothing else to do. Apart from strolling with his daughter-in-law Zhang Xiu every day, Xiao Qi was pestered by Yong Jia to tell stories to the two daughters.
Of course, Xiao Qi would take half a day every day to think about what kind of factories those industrial parks would build in his study.
Xiao Qi is also scratching his head now, because industrialization appeared slowly after the steam engine, and now his steam engine is still under development, and the problem of pistons and sealing rings has not yet been resolved.
Zhang Xiu also saw that Xiao Qi was worried about something recently. Whenever it was time for Xiao Qi to go to the study, he would consciously pull Yongjia away who didn't want to leave.
He also warned Yongjia that if he dared to disturb Xiao Qi when he was in the study, he would practice family law and beat PP.
This gave Xiao Qi more time to consider various industries that would be greatly affected after the birth of the steam engine.
First of all, Xiao Qi thought of the textile industry. Although the steam engine still has a long way to go, it may not be possible to produce a steam engine that can be used perfectly in three or two years.
However, Xiao Qi felt that the first task was to quickly produce a steel loom. The steam engine had not been produced, but the use of the power of the river to build a weaving factory next to the river could completely replace the steam engine.
In this way, the loom can be improved at the same time as the steam engine, and it can be directly produced by directly installing the steam engine.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qi ordered to call some senior blacksmiths to look at the structure of those farm looms, and make steel looms as soon as possible.
At home, he drew a power structure diagram of the water conservancy windmill connecting to the outside world.
The application of water conservancy in this era has already begun, and the treadmill has been used by the common people for many years to lift water for irrigation.
However, what is used as a substitute for labor is limited to water mills.
This made Xiao Qi very happy. He asked those craftsmen to understand the structure of the water mill, and then made drawings and sent them to him. He was improving the structure according to the drawings so as to connect the power to the loom.
These things are easy to say, but actually take a lot of time to do.
As the day when Zhang Xiu was going to give birth was getting closer, Xiao Qi no longer focused on the various drawings in the study.
Instead, a well-ventilated and sunny house in the backyard was converted into a delivery room.
All other things in the room were removed, leaving only a large bed, and first ordered someone to clean the house.
Only two maids are allowed every day. After the whole body is sprayed with a high degree of alcohol disinfection, they go in to clean, wipe the things in the house with a clean rag dipped in alcohol, and then spray alcohol disinfection all over the house.
When the sun is good, open the doors and windows to ventilate the room, and take out the bedding inside to expose to the sun.
Although Xiao Qi also knew that this kind of disinfection would not have much effect, but he felt that it was better than the boiling water disinfection of this era.
Xiao Qi did this, and those midwives didn't know what they were doing.
But Zhang Xiu knew that everything her man did was for the good of herself and her child, she didn't care, and he did everything Xiao Qi said, let alone objected.
As time passed day by day, Xiao Qi became more and more nervous. He studied medicine in his previous life, but he knew very well the danger of a woman giving birth for the first time in ancient times.
In this era, the mortality rate for women who gave birth to a child for the first time was very high. One reason is that women generally gave birth to children at a young age at this time.
Another one is that once a woman has dystocia, no matter how experienced the midwife is, the probability of one dead body and two lives is almost 100%. Few of them get away with it by chance, and most of them either lose adults or lose children.
It has been circulated among the people of China for thousands of years that every woman gives birth to a circle before the gate of hell, because in ancient times when technology was underdeveloped, it has always been very dangerous for women to give birth.
Although Xiao Qi studied medicine in his previous life, he has a good understanding of where the major blood vessels and nerves of the human body are. In addition, he has already exchanged for the medical box complete with various medical medicines and equipment.
Although he had some confidence in his heart, Xiao Qi still couldn't help being afraid in his heart.
Because although he studied medicine in his previous life, after all, students who only studied for half of the five years of study did practice in the hospital for a few days, but that was just being led by the teacher to the hospital to experience it.
Not to mention doctors, even nurses thought they, medical students who had just learned a little about medical knowledge, were in the way. How could Xiao Qi have confidence in herself after just experiencing the atmosphere of the hospital in the corridor for those few days.
The days did not stop just because Xiao Qi lacked confidence.
As Zhang Xiu's day of giving birth was getting closer, the entire Zhenbei Palace began to become tense, and soldiers from the Changsheng Battalion began to patrol around the palace, and no one was allowed to make noise around the palace.
The emperor also sent the best midwife in the palace, and the imperial doctor came to Zhenbei Palace with a lot of supplements.
Those midwives were also warned by a few maids that when the princess gave birth, they had to wash their hands and then carefully wipe their hands and arms with a cloth soaked in alcohol.
The midwife's clothes, shoes and socks should also be replaced with brand new ones that have been sterilized many times.
The midwives sent by the palace had long been warned by Yongjia that when they arrived at the Zhenbei Palace, all arrangements were made by the Zhenbei King, and even she, the princess, had to obey, and no one was allowed to violate it.
These midwives are not maids who cannot come out in the palace. They know the deeds of King Zhenbei very well.
Because they were selected to deliver the baby to the princess in Zhenbei Palace, they celebrated with their whole family. It is a glory that they can brag about for a lifetime, how could they violate Xiao Qi's rules.
Due to the sudden appearance of many soldiers around the Zhenbei Palace, the news that Zhenbei Wang's eldest concubine and female general Zhang Xiu was going to give birth to a young prince soon spread throughout Lin'an City.
Many small vendors walking in the streets consciously stopped shouting near the Zhenbei Palace. The people in Lin'an were talking about whether the Song Dynasty God of War would have a son or a daughter.
Zhang Xiu's call for childbirth appeared suddenly one morning. Fortunately, everyone knew that the princess was giving birth in the past few days, so she had made sufficient preparations early.
The delivery room, which had been disinfected countless times, started to get busy, and the voices of the midwives could be heard from time to time teaching Zhang Xiu what to do.
Xiao Qi, who was anxiously circling back and forth not far from the door, stopped from time to time to listen to see if there was anything unusual in the delivery room.
Not far away were the ten or twenty palace maids and maids who had learned the art of warding off evil swords after their whole bodies had been sterilized and carefully watched the movements in the delivery room.
They had been ordered a long time ago, once the news came out from the two helping maids in the delivery room that the princess was having a difficult labor, they would quickly run in and drag the midwives out.
Give up the delivery room to your prince and the two servant girls, while they guard outside, anyone who dares to break into the delivery room will be killed without mercy.
At this time, the outside of the inner courtyard was even more solemn. The servants held swords in their hands and surrounded the inner courtyard behind them. The murderous aura involuntarily exuded from these servants who had experienced many battles on the battlefield, let alone someone dared to break in. Not even a glance.
Like a blindfolded donkey pulling the mill, Xiao Qi pulled the mill round and round not far from the delivery room.
He didn't realize at all that if he was really milling, the flour produced by the mill would now fill several large bags.
At this time, he didn't pay attention to the sound of the outside world at all, and kept trying to recall the major blood vessels and nerves in the human stomach.
Over and over again, I thought about how I should perform a caesarean section if my precious daughter-in-law encountered a difficult delivery.
I don't know how many times I have rehearsed the caesarean section according to the best method I set, when suddenly there is a cry of a baby in the delivery room not far away!
To be honest, Xiao Qi had never thought that a child's crying could be so pleasant!
Just when Xiao Qi heard the cry of the child and suddenly stopped, his eyes were focused, and he was no longer immersed in his caesarean section rehearsal.
Only then did I realize that Yongjia and the maids in the palace had arrived not far from me at some point, and they all looked at me with mixed expressions of joy and worry.
Ignoring Yongjia and the maidservants, Xiao Qi hurried to the door of the delivery room to wait for the news. As soon as he arrived at the door, a midwife ran out of the delivery room with a happy face.
Seeing that Xiao Qi had arrived at the door of the delivery room, the midwife saluted Xiao Qi with a happy face: "Congratulations to the prince for adding a little prince, the big princess and the little prince are safe!"
Only then did Xiao Qi put his heart back into his stomach completely, and waved his hand: "Everyone has worked hard today, everyone is rewarded!"
The midwife was even more joyful when she heard that, and hurriedly saluted again to thank the prince for the reward, turned around and went in and started to work.
Xiao Qi hurriedly ordered people to enter the palace to announce the good news to her father-in-law. Although Zhang Xiu was not Zhao Shen's own daughter, she was also a princess who was recognized as a daughter. He also sent a midwife and imperial doctor, so he had to report the good news to him first.
Zhang Xiuzao handed over the family affairs to Yongjia, and Xiao Qi asked Yongjia to reward everyone, the midwives and the imperial doctor all rewarded 20 taels of silver, and the servants and maidservants each received [-] taels of silver.
Even the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion who were guarding outside the mansion were rewarded with two taels of silver regardless of their official positions.
After the news was sent to the palace, Zhao Shen and Zhao Gou immediately sent someone to send a large amount of silk and satin again. This was cheap for the father and son, and the gold and silver items brought back by the Changsheng Camp in the past two years were inflated.
Every day, I look at the internal funds piled up in countless warehouses in the palace and worry about how to spend them. Now I have the opportunity, that is called generosity.
A box was filled with all kinds of treasures for the newborn baby, and the rewards and supplements for Zhang Xiu were even pulled by several carts.
Then came the small gifts from the various concubines in the palace. Zhao Shen's concubines were all the little guy's grandma in name, and all kinds of small clothes, hats and playthings piled up in a big room.
What made Xiao Qi speechless the most were the gifts from the concubines of that old guy Zhao Gou.
It's not that the things they gave were not good, but that there were too many people who gave them, Xiao Qi couldn't help complaining about Zhao Gou in his heart.
You did that many years ago, and there are more than a dozen people in their 20s who sent gifts, saying that they were from the child's great-grandmother!
I'm not afraid of being two generations younger, but is it interesting for you, a coquettish fox, to keep harassing women?
Emotional eunuchs learn from you when they marry a daughter-in-law!
Although he disdain Zhao Gou as a coquettish fox in his heart, on the bright side, people still want to write down the young concubines who gave gifts one by one.
I have to thank the maids and eunuchs who brought the gifts, and tell them to turn around and let the princess lead the children to the palace, thanking these great-grandmothers for their love.
Until these eunuchs and maids were rewarded and sent away, Xiao Qi was so tired!
He said in his heart that the etiquette of welcoming and sending off is really not something ordinary people can play with. If it weren't for the help of many maids brought by Yongjia, even if he had a housekeeper in the palace, he would have made a lot of mistakes.
