Chapter 124 The girls inside are just like him.
They all changed into white gowns and wore homemade masks. Because time was urgent, there was no time to thoroughly disinfect the delivery room prepared by the Qin Mansion, and several people only wiped the ones they were going to use. Because the Qin Mansion did not have a table as long as the operating table, and the table in the room was a round table, the current temporary operating table was made by several people forcibly dismantling the couch next to it. Fortunately, the couch was not small, just enough for Madam Qin to lie on it. They covered Madam Qin's private parts in advance and waited for Dean Shen to come for the operation. It was the first time to operate on a human, and several people were still very nervous, but human life was at stake. Although Madam Qin fainted, Dean Shen still asked Lu Xiaojuan to feed her Ma Fei San. Then he started the operation without hesitation.
As time passed, the faint cry of a baby finally rang out in the delivery room. Everyone, exhausted, smiled with joy. Minister Qin wanted to go in and see his wife, but Baili Zhong stopped him. "Director Shen hasn't come out yet. You can't go in without his permission!"
Another quarter of an hour later, Dean Shen came out of the delivery room holding the baby, and said with a sense of relief: "Congratulations, Lord Qin, it's a daughter. Because she has been holding it in for too long, her face is a little purple and her body is a little weak, but she can recover with good care!" After that, he carefully handed the child to Minister Qin.
Minister Qin was distracted for a moment as he looked at the plump girl in his arms, whose face had turned purple. Then, thinking of his own wife, he hurriedly asked, "How is my wife?"
"Madam Qin has been seriously injured this time and needs to rest well. The next few days are particularly critical. You must pay attention to the care of her wounds and change her dressings on time to prevent infection. Also, let her rest more and ensure she has adequate nutrition." Shen Yuanzheng carefully instructed. After thinking about it, he felt uneasy and said, "Why don't I let two little girls stay at your house to take care of your wife for a few days."
Minister Qin nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. "Then I'll have to trouble Imperial Physician Shen!" Finally, Nanxing and Zifu were left behind. These names were given to them by Shen Yuanzheng. Except for Lu Xiaojuan, the others were called Yadan, Sanya, and Daya. He then gave those without names new names. Besides Nanxing and Zifu, the others were named Qingdai, Rendong, and Huaixi. Lu Xiaojuan was envious of this, and Shen Yuanzheng finally gave her the nickname Yuejian, which delighted her immensely.
Because Mrs. Qin was unable to move at this time, she had to ask the servants to clean up the room so that she could recuperate there temporarily.
In the following days, after watching Nanxing and Zifu take good care of Madam Qin, the maids in the Qin Mansion also knew how to take care of Madam Qin. So, Nanxing and Zifu returned to the academy to continue their studies. When Madam Qin's wound was almost healed, they came to remove the stitches. They followed Shen Yuanzheng's instructions for care. Madam Qin's body gradually recovered. This success not only proved the feasibility of cesarean section, but also brought new hope to the field of medicine. After the news spread, more people were full of expectations for this magical technology. Emperor Qing Zhao was even happier. This was a miracle that happened under his rule, and he rewarded Shen Yuanzheng and others.
The students who went out to teach the people in various places how to grow rice gradually returned to the academy. With the first experience, she didn't have to worry about the cultivation of the other two crops. She was ready to teach the students who were taking her architecture class. Fortunately, Emperor Qing Zhao saw that she was busy and specially found a skilled craftsman named Sun Chao. It was said that he was Sun Mingshan's cousin and had made great achievements in building houses. With him teaching, Mu Yunxi felt relieved to do other things. It's not that they can't recruit teachers, but they just don't want to recruit too many. And there are no suitable candidates. It's good now. Students can learn from each other and lay a good foundation for future teachers.
So, Mu Yunxi started teaching the students in the architecture class again. Standing on the podium, she seemed to be back in school. She said in a clear voice: "Today I will talk to you about the design principles of bridges and their practical applications." As Mu Yunxi explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way, the students were gradually attracted and started taking notes.
At that moment, a voice abruptly interrupted her lecture: "Master Mu, the theories you're discussing don't seem to apply in Zhao." The speaker was a young student named Zhang Wang. He was thin, his eyes revealing a thirst for knowledge and a dissatisfaction with reality. Zhang Yifeng was considered a leader in the architecture department, possessing a sharp mind and a daring spirit.
Mu Yunxi smiled slightly. "Student Zhang Yifeng, your question is a good one. It's true that every place has its own unique geographical environment and cultural background. However, the principles of learning are universal. What we are discussing today is not only the theory itself, but more importantly, how to combine these theories with our specific circumstances."
Zhang Wang nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and the other students were also impressed by Mu Yunxi's answer. The classroom atmosphere became lively again, and the students actively asked questions, and Mu Yunxi patiently answered them.
In class, Mu Yunxi encouraged students to share the topographical characteristics of their hometowns and then discuss appropriate bridge design solutions based on these characteristics. Zhang Wang spoke first, describing a turbulent river in his hometown.
Mu Yunxi pondered for a moment and suggested an arch bridge design, using the arched structure to disperse the impact of the water. As she spoke, she quickly drew a simple arched bridge on paper. Other students also spoke up, offering their own ideas.
Finally, Mu Yunxi concluded: "Bridge design is not just a technical issue, but also requires consideration of practical needs and environmental factors. I hope that you can apply what you have learned to practice in the future and contribute to the construction of your hometown." The students were deeply encouraged and expressed their determination to study hard.
After class, Mu Yunxi decided to lead the students to experience how to build a bridge in person. They went to a small river about three meters wide outside the city and began to design and build a simple wooden bridge.
The students were enthusiastic and showed off their talents: some were responsible for measuring the width of the river, some were responsible for drawing up the design drawings, and others were responsible for organizing the construction team.
Mu Yunxi guided everyone on site, imparting bridge-building techniques and precautions. With everyone's joint efforts, the wooden bridge's framework gradually took shape.
After several days of repeated revisions and hard work, the wooden bridge was finally completed. Looking at the sturdy, though not very beautiful, bridge, the students felt a sense of accomplishment, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.
This practical activity not only allowed them to learn practical skills, but also fostered a spirit of teamwork and a sense of responsibility. Mu Yunxi was filled with joy as she watched the ecstatic students.
The villagers from several nearby villages were delighted to see that they had built a bridge across the small river. One villager said, "Finally, we don't have to go the two-mile route to Longxi Village!" They were all very grateful. Receiving the villagers' gratitude, the students also realized the importance of learning these things.
It's not that Zhao State lacked skilled bridge builders, but they were few and far between, mostly working for the imperial court. For example, if a bridge was needed in an economic or trade zone, local officials would report it, and Emperor Qing Zhao would dispatch these craftsmen. However, they complained about their slow pace, taking six months to complete a ten-meter-long bridge. Mu Yunxi was curious about how they built it, and after asking Yongle, she learned that larger bridges were built by stacking stones one by one, then building a bridge on top.
