In fact, modern obstetrics and gynecology technology is more than an advanced place than in ancient times. There is also a production method for tweezing. Its content is to use a curved wooden clip without edges to clamp the baby that pops up when the mother gives birth, gently pull it out to help the mother give birth.
It can be said that due to the natural lateral incision and forceps, it is no longer a dangerous thing for women in later generations to have children, but it is painful at most. Only if the fetal position is not correct or the giant baby will cause difficult delivery. Or, the mother is too old and unable to keep up with her physical strength, causing her to faint on the spot.
Among them, the problem of improper fetal position could also be solved in ancient times. The experienced midwife mainly relies on the help of touching the position to determine whether it is intact. Then, if it is intact, it will help to reply to the position through some specific actions.
But the problem with giant babies was that medical methods were helpless in this era. In later generations, giant babies could only have caesarean section. However, in this era, if they had caesarean section, with alcohol and other disinfection methods, the mother could not die. However, it was difficult to ensure that the suture was passed. Perhaps, after one separation, the woman could not get pregnant again.
Therefore, the fundamental control method is not to overnutrition. Like in ancient China, the practice of constantly drinking tonics such as old hen soup for mothers is actually increasing the possibility of children becoming giant babies. When giving birth, the younger the child, the less difficult it is to produce. Of course, except for malnutrition. Because there may be big problems with the child's health, even if it is easy to produce, it will not be worth the cost...
Therefore, in the following time, Marin strictly restricted Angela's diet. First, foods with high fat content and high sugar content were banned. Meat foods are only allowed to eat chicken breasts and other low fat content but high protein content. Then, various vegetables are naturally constantly. In this way, there is no shortage of nutrition, but it will not make the baby fat, thereby reducing the possibility of difficult childbirth.
Angela was very dissatisfied with this. She didn't eat foods with high fat content, but it was a terrible thing to prevent her from eating sweets. For this reason, Angela's temper became very bad during this period. But for her safety, Marin could only be so cruel. After all, the mortality rate of difficult labor in this era is too high.
In the following days, Angela became the "Laofu" in the Orich Palace. Her temper rose and she often pinched and pinched Marin. Although Marin was so angry, she was completely tolerated considering that she was the biggest during her pregnancy. For this reason, the price was that she was always green and purple on her waist and arms.
Marin, who was so angry that he naturally needed to find a catharsis. Then, the little wild cat Felis suffered. When Marin was with her, she suddenly fell in love with PP. Then, Ferris was also blue and purple during this period...
...
Just as the Marin family was playing the game "You torture me, I will torture her", on that day, a distinguished guest came to the Palace of Orich...
The visitor was the future Pope Leo X, the current Archbishop Giovanni. The reason why Archbishop Giovanni came to the door was because he came to Germany himself to urge the sale of "indulgences".
A few years ago, when Marin was in Rome, he had the idea of ​​selling "indulgences" to Archbishop Giovanni. Then, Archbishop Giovanni also implemented it. Moreover, because he was responsible for German religious affairs, Archbishop Giovanni specially ordered the promotion of "indulgences" in Germany. However, a few years have passed, and the sales growth rate of "indulgences" is a bit slow.
Archbishop Giovanni might not be in a hurry if it were normal. However, Julius II suddenly fell seriously ill some time ago. Although he was rescued later, Marin also sent someone to help me to recuperate.
However, this incident also reminded the cardinals of Rome that the Pope may be replaced soon...
Then, the cardinals who were qualified to compete for the next pope all moved, and the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and showed their magical powers. In addition to building relationships everywhere to win future votes, it was also one of the important means to win reputation and political achievements everywhere.
Especially young bishops like Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici need to gain reputation and political achievements due to insufficient reputation and achievements.
Therefore, the sales performance of the "indulgence" he is now responsible for has become the top priority. If he can make major progress before the death of Julius II and bring huge benefits to the Holy See, he can get major bonus points in the Holy See, which is conducive to the Pope's election. After all, although the Roman Cardinals accepted bribes when electing the Pope, they would not choose an incompetent person to be the Pope. Generally speaking, those who can be elected as the Pope must have both ability and financial resources.
Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici is no problem in terms of financial resources. Not only will the Siena Bank, which Marin holds, fully support him in his hometown of Florence, most of the bankers in his hometown of Florence, will also support him. So, for Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici, the only thing to do is to prove his ability to the Roman Cardinals and prove that he can bring favorable things to the Holy See. For example, fiscal revenue and other things...
But in recent years, Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici has felt that it seems that the growth of "indulgence" promotion in Germany is growing slowly. Many princes even secretly boycott the sales of "indulgence"...
Therefore, he was very anxious. If the sales performance of "indulgence" was not good, it would also affect his reputation in Rome and even the Pope's election.
Then, he thought of Marin who gave him this idea...
In fact, Marin has always been famous in Europe for being "scheming and insidious". Therefore, Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici, who was a little anxious, took advantage of the opportunity to inspect the German church and simply came to Orich, came to Marin to ask for advice, and asked for advice on how to increase the sales of "indulgence" in a short period of time. If Julius II died and the sales of "indulgence" still could not be increased, it would be hard to say that his hope of taking over.
...
Marin naturally attached great importance to this future Pope Leo X and received him with high standards. After learning about Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici's purpose, Marin thought about it and asked:
"How much is the annual sales of 'indulge' now? How do you share it with local sales?"
"Now the annual sales of Germany are about 30,000 gold coins... As for the share... this... local churches will use 20% of sales as cost..."
"No wonder!" Marin slapped the table and finally found the reason.
According to Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici, "indulgence" is the exclusive business of the Holy See. Local churches can only get about 20% of the cost and errands fees, up to 30%. There are so many people in local churches, and once they share the money, there will be less money.
In this way, the sales of "indulgences" will naturally not increase. This thing is different from "tith tax". Local churches can use lies and excuses such as "local disasters". However, because the sale of "indulgences" is issued by the Holy See, there are many numbers of sales, and the Holy See wants to take the big head. Because the distribution is too little, everyone's enthusiasm will naturally not increase.
Moreover, for now, "indulgences" are mainly sold in the German region in the church vassal states. As for secular princes, they are basically not allowed to be sold. Because this does not benefit them at all...
