"I wonder if Fifth Uncle has made any major discovery?" Zhu Yunhuan asked.

"Your Majesty mentioned earlier about the impact of women's sexual intercourse and childbearing age on their lifespan. This humble minister initially thought it made sense. Later, I consulted with the doctors and physicians in the palace and sent people to investigate in the Nanzhili area, where I reached a conclusion."

"I'm afraid this is indeed as Your Majesty said!"

"I have already written an article about this matter, outlining the findings of this investigation. I believe this article can be included in the upcoming edition of the 'People's Media Daily' to serve as a warning to the world and the people!"

Zhu Su was already obsessed with studying medicine, collecting and organizing medical prescriptions and compiling medical books. Whether his starting point was to realize his self-worth, to leave a name in history in the future, or because he truly had great benevolence and love in his heart... the confirmation of this research was enough to make him excited.

So these days he has been collecting information on reference samples non-stop, and basically came to a conclusion. After reaching the conclusion, he wrote the results into an article overnight. As soon as the article was completed, he immediately ran to find Zhu Yunhuan.

Zhu Yunhuan showed a look of realization on his face.

He had so many things on his hands that he almost forgot about it.

Moreover, after a more comprehensive analysis and understanding of the country's population birth and death situation in recent days, he also understood that the promotion of this matter requires prerequisites and he cannot be impatient, so he put this matter behind him.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Su has already reached preliminary research results.

He was not surprised by this result. After all, there were a lot of papers related to this topic in later generations, and experts had reached this conclusion long ago.

What he cared more about was what Zhu Su said about "publishing an article in the newspaper" - yes, the newspaper had only published the first issue, but Zhu Su already wanted to use the newspaper as a medium to spread his views.

He may not have realized what public opinion is, but he has subconsciously wanted to use the power of public opinion. This is the terrifying thing about public opinion.

This also shows that the first issue of the newspaper was indeed successful.

This was what Zhu Yunhuan liked to see.

"Your Majesty?" Zhu Su was a little confused by Zhu Yunhuan's indifferent reaction.

Zhu Yunhuan also came back to his senses, smiled faintly, and first affirmed: "Fifth Uncle is indeed a man with great love in his heart, but..."

"While popularizing this conclusion is a good thing in the long run, Uncle Wu, have you ever considered that if you directly publish and implement this research result, the birth rate in our Ming Dynasty will decrease in the short term?"

"The Ming Dynasty was plagued by disasters, both large and small, and it was difficult for the people to survive."

“What consequences will there be?”

"For the common people, their lives are only a short thirty or forty years. They want to carry on their family line and have children. Even if they know the dangers involved, will the people be willing to do so?" Zhu Yunhuan raised the two biggest difficulties.

This question stumped Zhu Su immediately.

I was speechless.

What he could not deny was that Zhu Yunhuan's concerns were comprehensive, too comprehensive!

These days, Zhu Su has been in a state of fever.

Because the more sample information his subordinates collect, the more he can confirm the correctness of this topic.

Therefore, as soon as he sorted out the data, he hurriedly wrote an article and submitted it, but he ignored these problems and factors.

Now Zhu Yunhuan is a little better.

Zhu Su finally reacted as if he had been poured with a bucket of cold water.

All of a sudden.

Zhu Su stood there in a daze, lost in thought.

"The birth rate is declining... numerous disasters... this will inevitably lead to a short-term decrease in the overall population of the Ming Dynasty, creating a period of transition..."

He muttered absentmindedly.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always been strict in educating his children, and Zhu Su is no exception. These things were not something he could think of at the moment, but since Zhu Yunhuan had given it a start, he was able to follow his thoughts and proceed smoothly.
