Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"Mother is worth more than her son!"

This sentence is regarded as the truth in the harem. The mother of the current official family, Zhu, was a lowly imperial attendant. In the end, it was all because of giving birth to the current official family that she became one of the most noble people in the harem.

Among the people, in this era where men are superior to women, this sentence is also a wise saying.

Before this, everyone had only told it by word of mouth, but when all this really happened in front of everyone, they still blurted it out involuntarily.

"Mr. Ma's greatest luck is that she gave birth to her son, the evil doctor Fan Zheng." Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

In the Song Dynasty, unless they were as stunning as Li Qingzhao, the most talented woman in history, other women could only rely on men. However, a woman has three opportunities to determine her destiny in her life, one is birth, one is marriage, and the other is giving birth to a child. .

In terms of birth, Ma didn't have any advantages. She was born in a poor family. At that time, there were constant natural and man-made disasters. Ma's family was already dilapidated and unable to support Ma, so she had to be sent to the Fan Mansion and sold some money to subsidize her. Family income, and at the same time seeking a way out for the miserable Ma family. Her background did not bring any advantages to Ma family, but instead made her depend on others.

After arriving at the Fan family, Ma was favored by the Fan family's housewife, Wang, and served beside her. However, Wang was infertile. In order to pass on the incense to Fan Chunli, Ma became a concubine of Fan Chunli. Although she gave birth to a son, Fan Zheng. , she was still a concubine of low status, and her marriage also gave Ma no chance to change her destiny.

Who would have thought that it was her son Fan Zheng who really changed Ma's destiny. Not only did Ma's mother move from the position of concubine to the position of head wife based on her son, but she was also named the fifth-grade Imperial Lady by the imperial court, more powerful than Li Qingzhao. The sixth grade is also a higher level.

"One family, two titles! Both father and son are prime ministers!"

The surrounding dignitaries were all amazed. In the three rooms of Fan Mansion, both Li Qingzhao and Ma were royal wives, not to mention that Fan Zhongyan was the prime minister back then, and now Fan Chunli is also the prime minister.

Not to mention that although Fan Zheng is now a small imperial physician, with Fan Zheng's talents and the trust of the officials, no one doubts that Fan Zheng will be the prime minister and assistant in the future.

What is even more commendable is that everything in the Fan family is obtained through merit, and there is never a trace of opportunism. Even with such favor, it is still impossible to find any fault.

"The real wife!"

Mrs. Ma couldn't stop her tears, but her eyes were filled with smiles. She had never had any extravagant hopes for this day, but it was actually realized by her son.

"Whose child is the traitor?"

The other officials couldn't help but sigh when they heard this. They turned around and looked at their unsatisfied son, and they suddenly became very angry.

They were not concubines, but upright wives. Even so, compared with Fan Zheng, their son was nothing like clouds and mud.

Back then, Fan Chunli repeatedly shouted at Fan Zheng and his rebellious son in such a loud voice that even they could hear him clearly. But now it seems that their son is the rebellious son who is good for nothing.

"Steward, please convey this good news to father immediately!" Fan Zheng waved his hand and ordered the steward of Fan Mansion.

"Yes! Young Master!" Fan Mansion's housekeeper responded immediately.

Ma finally realized that it should have been a happy event for her to be promoted from concubine to head wife, but her husband Fan Chunli didn't know about it yet?

"Master still doesn't know? What if..." Ma said worriedly.

She was promoted as the head wife, and she had the biggest relationship with Fan Chunli, but he was a little unaware of it. Could this be misunderstood by the master, who thought that she was deliberately instigating his son to seek the position of the head wife, and was biased against him?

Madam Ma couldn't help but worry about gains and losses at the moment. Although she was extremely eager to be known as a legitimate wife, she didn't want Fan Chunli to misunderstand her, let alone Fan Chunli's reputation as a doting concubine and the destruction of his wife.

Fan Zheng snorted coldly and said: "Don't worry, mother, the child is here. Besides, my aunt has passed away many years ago, and there is no matron in the Fan family. I'm afraid it will make people laugh. Since he can't do this for his mother, what about the child?" How could he dare to say more if he did it?"

"My son has grown up!"

Ma's heart suddenly became more confident after looking at the already arrogant war. He turned around and couldn't put it down and looked at the document of his fifth-grade imperial edict, immersed in joy, fearing that it was just a dream.

Fan Zheng hugged Fan Zhi, watching this scene, and Li Qingzhao looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and did not disturb Ma.

"The water has receded!"

With the completion of the sealing of the Yellow River breach, the water level in the disaster-stricken area of ​​the Yellow River quickly began to drop, and all those involved in the disaster relief couldn't help but cheer.

As long as the floods subside and people return to their hometowns, the flood will truly end.

"Master Fan, many victims have begun to return to their hometowns, and the number of victims has been greatly reduced!" Yuncheng County Magistrate reported.

In order to show his merit in front of Fan Chunli, even though the Yellow River embankment had been closed, the Yuncheng County magistrate still led Minzhuang to listen to orders under Fan Chunli's tent.

Hearing that the number of victims had dropped significantly, Fan Chunli breathed a sigh of relief. This once-in-a-century flood should have caused huge damage and losses to the Song Dynasty. However, after proactively releasing the flood and blocking the breach in advance, This time, both the losses and the duration of the disaster were the lightest in history.

"The floodgates must be completed as soon as possible. At the same time, the Ministry of Industry is ordered to start surveying and mapping. Many low-lying areas in the disaster area are used as flood discharge areas. Walled villages are not allowed to appear in the flood discharge areas, and the original villages must be relocated."

On the embankment of the Yellow River, Fan Chunli ordered.

The flood discharge plan proposed by Fan Zheng has been proven to be feasible, and the imperial court has spent a huge amount of money to build the flood gate. I am afraid that flood discharge in Liangshan Lake will be a regular thing in the future, and the flood discharge area will probably be uninhabitable. It is necessary to relocate the original villages. Policy.

The county magistrate of Yuncheng couldn't help but frowned and said: "Master Fan considers the people, and the official understands that it is difficult to move to his hometown. If this happens, the court will arouse dissatisfaction among the people, and it will also cost the court a lot of money."

The Yellow River is far away from Liangshanbo, and the flood discharge area is quite large. If there are many people who need to be relocated, some people will definitely be unwilling. Moreover, it is also troublesome for the court to relocate these people.

Fan Chunli thought for a while and said: "Pang Jizu from the veterinarian lineage has been approached and wants to build a horse farm in the flood discharge area. Once the water level of the Yellow River rises, the war horses can evacuate as quickly as possible to minimize losses. If the people in the flood discharge area If you are willing to relocate, the horse supervisor will compensate you. If you are unwilling to relocate, you can cooperate with the horse farm and cooperate with the court to raise horses, and the annual harvest will be no less than farming."

The court's flood discharge will only be concentrated in the two months of the rainy season, and will be notified in advance. The flood discharge area is not completely deserted. If it is designated as a racecourse and connected with the racecourses on both sides of the Yellow River, it can either turn waste into treasure or Provide a large number of high-quality war horses for the imperial court. Nowadays, artificial insemination is extremely mature. It is not difficult to give birth to war horses. The difficulty is to find a suitable land for raising horses, and the flood discharge area is the best choice.

Moreover, horses are the fastest. Once the flood is discharged in advance, they can be moved quickly. There is no need to plant farmers in the flood discharge area, as long as there is grass to raise horses! In this way, the flood discharge area can be used as much as possible to reduce the court's losses.

"The horse supervisor!"

The county magistrate of Yuncheng couldn't help but be overjoyed. The Ma Jian was the most profitable yamen in the Song Dynasty. In order to face the threat from Liao and Xia, the imperial court allocated a large amount of money and food to the Ma Jian every year to make up for the shortage of war horses. Now there are horses The money from the prison will definitely make the resettlement of victims in the counties in the flood discharge area very convenient.
