The weather got hotter and hotter, and Li Shimin's gas disease broke out again.
The imperial doctors in the palace were helpless.
Because Li Shimin knew that Li Min had excellent medical skills, he brought Li Min here.
This gas disease is later known as tracheitis or bronchitis, and it can be divided into many types.
Some can be cured, and some cannot be cured at all.
But Li Shimin's disease is a chronic disease and there is no way to cure it.
Li Min could only take out some anti-inflammatory drugs and give them to Li Shimin.
However, in fact, the reason why Li Shimin's Qi disease became so severe was mainly due to the environment.
The palace where Li Shimin lived was very old, but it had never been renovated because of lack of money.
The palace is humid, coupled with the hot weather, the disease becomes more serious.
But now, because Li Min was with him, Li Shimin finally made some money and had the confidence to repair the palace.
Therefore, we decided to renovate the palace.
And Li Shimin decided to take advantage of the time to repair the palace and go out to escape the summer heat.
After making this decision, Li Shimin left several mature and prudent ministers and the prince to supervise the country.
I took Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang with me to escape the summer heat.
(In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin escaped from the summer heat due to illness and ordered the prince to supervise the country. This is a historical fact and not a fabrication by Yan Yu.)
Although he was the prince overseeing the country, Li Shimin had his own veterans who stayed behind to take charge.
After Prince Li Chengqian took charge of the country, whenever he encountered major issues, he would seek advice from senior ministers such as Changsun Wuji, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui.
He was extremely respectful to them and made these ministers very satisfied.
After the prince took charge of the country, he was very diligent.
After Li Shimin left, the operation of the entire Datang organization, instead of stagnating due to his departure, became smoother.
Li Shimin seems to have left, but in fact, every day's affairs, no matter how big or small, are passed on to Li Shimin.
Therefore, Li Shimin seemed to be taking a leisurely vacation, but in fact, he knew what happened in the Tang Dynasty and even in the court, and it was not out of his control.
The impact of Tang Taizong's departure on the people was almost negligible.
…
At this time, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
On the street, more and more people are using folding fans.
As early as half a month ago, someone successfully copied the folding fan.
Although the quality is not comparable to the folding fans produced by Tianxia No. 1 Hospital, they are cheaper than others.
The folding fans produced by the No. 1 Courtyard in the World cost a full fifty cents each.
As for other people's folding fans, they only cost five cents each. If you pay more, there are discounts.
With the advent of imitation folding fans, the folding fan business of Tianxia No. 1 Hospital was greatly affected.
Fortunately, Li Min had anticipated this situation, so he did not rush to make folding fans later. At this time, their inventory was running low.
Li Min simply disposed of the remaining folding fans at once and stopped the folding fan business.
In Li Min's opinion, this kind of business is just for fun, a trivial matter, and it has no real merit.
For some reason, summer came very early this year and was very hot.
Even if I hold a folding fan in my hand, the hot air will blow out, and the hot sweat on my body will not stop at all.
At this moment, a small shop called Qingliang Yixia quietly opened on Chang'an Street.
There is a couplet posted on this store, which reads: Come to my store to cool off, and I will give you a cool summer.
The dandy boys in Chang'an City became upset when they saw this couplet.
Huo, this tone is quite arrogant!
Can I cool off by entering your store? Can you also give me a cool summer?
What if you can’t pay me back? Can you afford to accompany me?
The two young masters who passed by recently are famous dandies in Chang'an City. They are Chai Lingwu and Fang Yiai.
The two brothers locked eyes with each other, and then walked towards the store understandingly.
snort!
If I can't cool off after entering your store and give me a cool summer, let's see if we don't destroy your store today.
This store is quite interesting. When you walk in, you will first see a door curtain. When you open the door curtain, you will find that there is actually a hanging curtain inside.
When the two people pushed the curtain, they discovered that the curtain was actually very heavy and seemed to be made of cotton.
Um, it's cotton, not cotton.
In the Tang Dynasty, the cotton used by later generations did not come out.
What is often used at this time is cotton.
Pushing open the door curtain and walking inside, the two of them immediately felt a slight sense of coolness coming over them.
Huh? It's quite cool in this store. Even if they put two ice cubes at home, it doesn't feel so cool.
Come into my store to cool off, and I'm sure I'm not lying.
However, they wanted to see how they could give us a cool summer.
Chai Lingwu immediately picked his nose and asked: "Shopkeeper, how on earth do you give me a cool summer here?"
Not long after, a young boy came forward and bowed and said: "Two gentlemen, in our store, we currently only have two kinds of food: popsicles and ice cream, both of which are made of ice. After you eat them, you will definitely
It’s so cool.”
oh?
It’s food made of ice?
They have never heard of these popsicles and ice cream.
When they are at home, they eat iced sour plum soup at most.
Fang Yiai couldn't help but asked curiously: "How do you sell these popsicles and ice cream?"
The boy immediately introduced: "The popsicles cost 100 cents each, and the ice cream costs 500 cents each."
Well, the price of a popsicle is equivalent to two hundred yuan today.
Ice cream costs one thousand yuan.
This price, I have to say, is really outrageous!
But the cost of making ice in Datang is really high.
The production cost of a popsicle, although the cost can be reduced because it can be produced in batches, is still around ten cents.
In Li Min's opinion, this is only ten times the profit, which is really a good price.
As for the ice cream, it actually only has some extra milk and sugar, and costs less than 20 cents. This is the real huge profit.
Hearing the price, Fang Yiai couldn't help but became furious. She couldn't help pointing at the boy's nose and angrily yelled: "It's just food made of ice. It's essentially just water. How dare you ask for one hundred pennies and five cents?"
One hundred cents? Why didn't you go and rob it? What the hell, you dare to blackmail me, believe it or not, I demolished your store?"
As a result, before Fang Yiai finished speaking, he heard an extremely arrogant voice in the back room.
"Who? Who dares to cause trouble in my shop? Come here, break his legs and throw him out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several wolf-like guards rushed out from behind. Without saying a word, they stepped forward to lift up Fang Yiai and lay him down on the ground.
These escorts were all masters in the military. They had broken people's legs many times following Li Min, and they had learned from experience.
