Chapter 0688 I am not discussing with you, I am just informing you.(1/2)
Li Mu came here this time, firstly for the affairs of the sixth room of the Li family, secondly for the affairs of the Li family in Longxi, and thirdly for the matter of Guan Ji's pregnancy.
None of the three things is trivial.
And it was quite hard to run back and forth in such a cold weather.
So Feng Yong deigned to go out to greet him personally, which seemed incredible to others, but Li Mu really deserved it.
Despite the long journey, Li Mu still maintained good temperament and behavior.
A large white fine wool cloak is draped on the body, making it appear graceful and luxurious.
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of technology, Nanxiang Textile Workshop has not only diversified its products, but also graded its wool.
The most primitive felts can no longer be seen, such as woolen yarns, cloaks, blankets used to cover the body for warmth, felts, carpets, patchwork felts, etc.
Products are sold differently depending on the level of consumers, domestic markets, and foreign markets.
Of course, for the Hu people, the most cost-effective products are woolen cloth and felt.
Beneath the bed is the mattress, covering the body is the quilt, and wrapping the body is the coat.
Tribal nobles will want some high-quality blankets.
As for the emerging class represented by the people of Nanxiang, as well as the small landowners in Shu and the old wealthy people in the countryside, wool is the most popular.
Take it home and knit your own sweater, which is convenient and affordable.
Therefore, in Dahan, the demand for wool is the largest. The supply exceeds the demand throughout the year and is often out of stock.
After all, men farm and women weave, isn’t it tradition?
Of course, the most convenient and warmest thing is the down jacket.
It’s just that the production of this down jacket has not increased.
Those with better appearance and quality are exported as luxury goods.
Those with worse appearance are supplied to senior officers of Hanzhong and Longyou armies.
Because the extremely dense silk can reduce the damage caused by arrows.
Therefore, down jackets lined with silk can not only keep warm, but also provide an extra layer of protection for school officials at all levels.
However, there has always been a shortage of supply.
Although the Xinghan Dynasty had silkworm technology in spring and autumn, the output was still insufficient.
The cost is too high and it is not conducive to spreading it to the homes of ordinary people in Guizhou.
Not to mention Feng Yongyong, even the prime minister of the Han Dynasty might not be willing to pass it on to the aristocratic families in Shu.
However, in terms of profit from a single piece of clothing, the high-end woolen fabrics targeted at big buyers are naturally the most lucrative.
Like this large fine velvet white cloak on Li Mu, if you put it on your body, not to mention anything else, your temperament will be greatly improved.
Especially a woman like Li Mu who is already outstanding.
Wearing such a powerful weapon and saying nothing, just standing there quietly is attractive enough.
The lotus steps move lightly and the posture is elegant. Li Mu, who designed this cloak, knows how to show off the charm of a woman.
The only thing that detracted from her score was the tiredness on her face, which made her look a little out of sorts.
He followed Feng Yong step by step. After entering the Nuan Pavilion, when he saw Guan Ji, Li Mu quickly stepped forward and saluted: "I have met Madam."
Guan Ji sat in her original position with an indifferent expression and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work. Sit here to keep it warmer."
Li Mu responded, took off his cloak and tight coat, and sat down under Guan Ji.
"I haven't congratulated you yet, Madam, for being pregnant with your unicorn son."
With a sincere smile on his face, Li Mu spoke first.
Guan Ji smiled slightly: "I accept your good advice."
"This time I brought the most skilled female medical workers from Nanxiang. There are three of them. The leader has a hand as big as a child and is extremely dexterous."
Li Mu explained to Guan Ji, "I checked it myself. In the past three years, she has delivered a total of 83 babies, and only ten died in infancy."
"Even the women who had difficult childbirths, most of them survived, and only five women died."
Although Feng Yong, who was sitting silently next to him, knew this data, he still couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard Li Mu's tone.
The mortality rate is as high as more than ten percent!
This is the most skilled obstetrician and gynecologist in Nanxiang.
What is there to praise?
Guan Ji, on the other hand, had a satisfied smile on her face and sighed, "Isn't this kind of craftsmanship considered top-notch among the big men?"
Li Mu nodded, "Madam is right. When the Prime Minister's wife gave birth, Junhou also asked Nanxiang to send female medical workers there, and she was one of them."
Huang Yueying is the first person besides relevant personnel to know the statistics of women giving birth in Nanxiang.
Moreover, in the past few years, the baby boom has exploded in Nanxiang, and statistics have been collected every year, which is the most convincing evidence.
Giving birth to children over the age of sixteen, coupled with Nanxiang's unique medical skills, can effectively reduce maternal and newborn infant mortality rates.
When the Xinghan Hui took off, as soon as the mother-in-law became pregnant, she would be sent to Nanxiang to wait for delivery, so that she could rest assured and feel at ease.
Coupled with the fact that Huang Yueying took the lead, this trend quickly became popular among the powerful.
Now, all the qualified families in Sichuan know that Nanxiang can change "giving birth to a child means crossing the gate of hell" to "giving birth to a child means crossing a single-plank bridge."
Even if you fall off a bridge, you still have a chance to survive, right?
It's just that Nanxiang's rules are very strange. Family members of Xinghanhui members are given priority, and mothers with Nanxiang household registration are given priority.
The remaining medical resources are for outsiders to build relationships with. Of course, you can also spend money.
This strange rule has led to the fact that in the Affiliated Hospital of Nanxiang Medical College, even naturalized Hu women are given priority over those wealthy people from out of town who come here for their reputation.
The rumors about the birth of evil spirits in Nanxiang vaguely confirmed the superb medical skills of Nanxiang Affiliated Hospital.
Could it be that just because you were able to deal with evil spirits, you were able to let the evil spirits spare your life?
As a result, Zhongyi Temple, the only officially designated place of worship in Nanxiang, became more and more popular.
The evil ghost gave me face, and then the Chungyi Shrine gave me some divine power. It was impossible to say that there were no taboos.
Hearing Li Muwei talk about the Affiliated Hospital of Nanxiang Medical College, he nodded approvingly: "You have contributed a lot to make Nanxiang what it is today."
"What did Madam say? The Li family has had to rely on a lot of help from the monarchs over the years."
Li Mu said humbly.
Feng Yong was also happy on the sidelines.
Guan Ji, who was pregnant with her first child, had herself by her side, but after all, neither of them had any experience.
Although Guan Ji usually doesn't show it obviously, Feng Yong knows that she is actually a little nervous in her heart, and her emotions always fluctuate.
Generally speaking, at this time, it is basically Jungu (mother-in-law) or maternal aunt (mother-in-law) who comforts and imparts experience.
Needless to say about the Feng family, Feng Yong is the only one left.
Guan Ji does have an aunt who treats her as if she were her own child, and she just gave birth two years ago.
But now the two of them are far away in Longxi, and it is impossible for Huang Yueying to come from Shu at this time.
When Li Mu arrived, he made fun of what happened at Nanxiang Medical College Affiliated Hospital, which not only relaxed Guan Ji's mood, but also soothed her emotions.
It can be seen that this woman has definitely done her homework carefully.
In addition, the female obstetrics and gynecology doctor she brought over, not only Guan Ji, but also Feng Yong breathed a sigh of relief and felt confident.
Although Amei is also skilled in medicine, in terms of professionalism, she is definitely not as good as a female medical worker who specializes in obstetrics and gynecology.
At least she has never delivered a baby, nor has she taken care of pregnant or postpartum women, so she has no experience in this area.
After Guan Ji got a satisfactory answer from Li Mu, she glanced at Feng Yong.
Feng Yong understood and said, "Speaking of the Li family, how was your discussion with Taigong Li when you returned to Nanxiang this time?"
"Go back to the lord," Li Mu glanced at Feng Yong and said with some hesitation, "The grandpa is willing to send his clan members to Pingxiang to help, but this is a matter that affects the whole clan, so he has to go back to Shu to discuss with the elders of the clan first.
"
Feng Yong was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it again, he thought it was reasonable.
He probably felt that his bragging in the past two months was ruined, and Li Mu felt a little sorry for Feng Yong.
"Your Majesty, I can help you with the Li family's affairs in Longxi. I have had a lot of dealings with them in the past two years. If not, I would like to ask you to go to Didao in person..."
When Feng Yong heard this, he interrupted her directly.
"No. In my opinion, you are more important than the Li family in Longxi. Now Didao is under siege by Qiang and Hu, and the situation is unknown."
"But I am not willing to let you go to anything that may cause you harm. If anything happens, who can I blame for all the troubles in Nanxiang?"
How can it be so easy to cultivate a CEO who is loyal, reliable, and has strong business capabilities?
Especially talents like Li Mu, who have a good foundation, are willing to learn, have a strong ability to accept new things, and can even use their subjective initiative.
It can make life worse than death for those who want to make war profits, and force others to hang themselves collectively and jump into rivers and city walls, etc.
Feng Yongdu couldn't help but admire such coldness, such heart, and such skill.
Feng Yong felt very magnanimous and told Li Mu clearly that he only trusted her regarding the Nanxiang matter.
When this famous strong-armed lady in Nanxiang heard Feng Yong's words, she couldn't help showing excitement on her face.
But after all, she had been through many hardships, and when she realized that the Feng family's mistress was sitting next to her, she immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "I am so valued by the king, even death is not enough to repay her!"
Guan Ji smiled calmly from the side.
"I have sent people to investigate the Didao matter. This person's name is Gongsun Zheng, and his clan's ancestral home is also in Didao, and the clan also had a marriage relationship with the Li family in Longxi."
"If he can connect with the Li family in Longxi, you can contact the Li family in Longxi through him, so there is no need to take the risk yourself."
