    Chapter 219: [Women¡¯s Census]

    "The last daughter of the Fang family was 15 years old in the second year of Zhenguan. She married the Wang family at the beginning of the year and had two sons and one daughter."

    "The eldest daughter of the Xiao family was thirteen years old in the sixth year of Wude. She married into multiple families and died in childbirth."

    ¡­¡­

    Li Chengqian looked at them one by one, nodding from time to time.

    The investigation records in this book are much more comprehensive and meaningful than Fatty Fatty¡¯s last one.

    Turning to the last page, there is a summary. There were 237 people investigated, 52 died due to dystocia or miscarriage, and 17 died of illness.

    "Sick?" Li Chengqian raised his head and asked.

    "Well, women's diseases." The fat man said, "When I went to check, two died of bleeding in the bridal chamber, one died of stomach pain, more than ten died of stinky vagina, and one or two died of  The fever is gone."

    ?Then here are divided into one kind of dead people related to this investigation and one kind of unrelated dead people, such as the two people who died of high fever.  The deceased were divided into two categories: trauma and gynecological diseases.

    The total number of people is 237, and the number of deaths is about 69, accounting for about 30%.  Seeing this data, Li Chengqian opened his mouth. Almost one out of three young women died. This ratio is too high!

    "Okay, this investigation will definitely convince the queen mother and father!" Li Chengqian nodded.

    The fat man laughed after hearing this.

    "Let's make another refinement of this table. Let's divide those under twelve years old into a range, twelve to fourteen years old into a range, and fifteen to seventeen years old into a range. Calculate each  What is the death rate by age group? This can more directly explain that the younger the age, the greater the possibility of dystocia!" Li Chengqian said while drawing a table on the paper.

    "Take this investigation record and read everyone's information to me!" Li Chengqian said, "I will record it."

    "Oh!" The fat man picked up the notebook and read out the information one by one.  After hearing this, Li Chengqian wrote "positive" on the corresponding form. If the person was deceased, he also wrote "positive" below.

    After the cooperation of the two people.  Soon the statistics of the three age groups were calculated. As Li Chengqian said, the mortality rate of girls married under the age of twelve reached over 80%.  About 40% are between the ages of 12 and 14, while only 67% are between the ages of 15 and 17.

    "Huh?" Fatty looked at the three-level data and couldn't believe it. The gap between different age groups was too big, right?

    He personally investigated most of these people, but the detailed data was not as shocking as this!

    And this kind of data somewhat breaks his inherent concept.  The Tang Dynasty was a society that provided early marriage, especially girls who could get married at the age of eleven or twelve.  Everyone has this as a habit, it's normal, but now these three sets of data are telling the damn fat man that the earlier you get married, the more harmful it will be!

    He couldn't help but pick up the account book he had set with his own hands.  Checked them one by one.  He didn't believe it, but after reading a few pages, he believed it!

    After a while, he allowed himself to accept this fact, and then said to Li Chengqian: "It seems that the eldest brother is right. This investigation can convince the queen mother!"

    When the two brothers brought the investigation record book to the queen, the queen picked it up and flipped through two pages. There were more living people than dead people in it. She couldn't help but said strangely: "You just want to rely on this book to convince me?"

    "Yes, mother, please look back." The fat man nodded.  said.

    After seeing the summary data at the end and the age group data divided by Li Chengqian, the queen's face froze, and then she showed a serious look. She carefully read every data in the summary, and then opened the previous content, one by one.  Counted it down.  And she read it more carefully this time and turned the pages faster than before.

    After a while, the queen put the account book on the table, and after a while of silence, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her two sons, and asked, "Are the people here real?"

    The fat man said confidently: "Yes, every one of them was checked on the household registration form and went to their homes to verify."

    The queen's last suspicion was broken, and she became quiet.

    The results of this survey were a bit unacceptable to her.

    ¡° Eight out of ten girls under the age of twelve will die if they get married, and four out of ten girls who get married around the age of fourteen will die. This ratio is too high!

    After a long while, the queen came back to her senses, picked up the account book again, and read it carefully again.

    "Mother, if a woman gets married too early, it will cause great harm to her body and her life. Please allow me to allow my eldest sister to get married after she is seventeen years old!" Li Chengxi?? said.

    The fat man echoed: "Yes, Queen Mother!"

    The queen did not say anything, but after reading the entire book, she raised her head and said: "From the Sui Dynasty to the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been years of wars and a massive loss of population. It took more than ten years since the founding of the country to breathe a sigh of relief, but  But there is only 30% of the population of the previous dynasty. The important task of increasing the population falls on women. If all the women in the world are like the account you two investigated, one out of three died, then when will our Tang Dynasty surpass the previous one?  North Korea? It will be beneficial to both the country and the people if you two investigate this matter, okay! This time, we have to show those ministers how sloppy they are!"

    Li Chengqian and Fatty Fatty looked at each other, and both of them saw hope.

    Originally it was about the eldest sister, but the queen suddenly skipped the eldest sister and talked about the population of the world.  But she has considered all the women in the world, how could she not consider her own daughter!

    The queen handed the account book back to the two of them and said, "This is something you, as princes, share your father's worries and do for the benefit of the world. You should hand it to your father personally!"

    "Uh" The queen actually asked them to hand it over to Lao Li in person. Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment and had to respond: "Yes."

    After Li Chengqian took it, he handed it over to the fat man.

    "Qing Que, I see that you have lost twice as much weight recently. Are you feeling sad for that poor Qing Ling'er? My child, look away, it's because she has no fate to enjoy the blessings with you!" The queen looked at the fat man and said heartbrokenly,  Then he turned around and said to Li Chengqian, "What have Chengqian been busy with recently? I heard that you always ask the chamberlains from the East Palace to come to Hanliang Palace to carry materials. What are you doing?"

    The Queen is a mother without common sense who thinks that a fat child is strong. Fatty has been going to various villages to investigate in the past half month. It is also the middle of summer. It would be better if he is not exposed to the sun. Now he has just lost weight again.  The circle is already the result of his good environment with good food and drink.  But the queen was heartbroken that the fat man had lost two rings of flesh.

    And Li Chengqian has been renovating his pool recently. In order to save money, he asked Lao Zeng to go to Hanliang Palace to get the materials!
