Li Shimin did have hypertension. His son Li Zhi also had hypertension later. The people in their family were not in good health, and they had both wind and qi.

The symptoms of this Qi disease are very similar to hypertension. Although one belongs to the traditional Chinese medicine system and the other is in the Western medicine system, the two concepts of Qi disease and hypertension are completely equivalent, but there is indeed a great intersection between them.

In the original history, after Li Shimin personally fought for Goguryeo, he had been in poor health after returning. There is such a saying in Goguryeo that he was hit by a poisonous arrow while fighting for Goguryeo.

The Old Book of Tang says that he died of elixirs. This statement is even more credible. Although Li Shimin didn’t believe in elixirs when he was young, he became in poor health when he was old. In the case of long-term treatment, he went to the doctor in a hurry and turned to the elixirs. He hoped for elixirs, which was normal.

With poor health and taking pills, this eternal emperor finally lived to be fifty years old. The cause and effect are basically reasonable. The incident of being shot in Goguryeo may not be true.

But no matter what, then Goguryeo may not go, or not. Originally, there was no need for the emperor to go there in person, and going there would only leave the soldiers under his command.

Originally, no one was willing to listen to him, but when he was diagnosed with high blood pressure, his heart became a little shaken.

At this time, people have no idea about high blood pressure. When they see that their blood pressure is so much higher than others, it feels very bad. And people who have heard of this disease are the most unhappy...

In a few days, the officials in the court in Chang'an City, as well as the gentry men and men of the gentry who were not in the court, also learned about this: I heard that the sage's blood pressure was very high!

While guessing the situation in the court, some people couldn't help but worry about their blood pressure. So for a period of time, these people invited Sun Simiao's disciples to their homes to measure their blood pressure for themselves and their families. Sometimes they couldn't invite people, and some people were anxious and couldn't wait. They ran to the market to roll up their sleeves with the civilians in the city to measure their blood pressure.

People in this era are still much healthier in their overall lifestyle than those in later generations. I won’t talk about the common people. They work hard every day for life. If it weren’t for innate factors, they basically had no chance of getting the three highs.

In addition to drinking and having fun, most wealthy families also like to ride horses and hunt. Many gentry men practice martial arts since childhood. In this environment, there are also people with high blood pressure, but generally speaking, not many are as high as those of the emperor, and even rarer.

In the palace, the eunuchs of the palace often reported these things to Li Shimin. Today, they said that a certain minister also measured his blood pressure yesterday, which was exactly how high it was.

Sometimes when the emperor heard that the person's blood pressure was higher than that of himself, he felt a little relieved. But most of the time, he felt more worried because there were too few people who could make him feel relieved.

It took only one or two days before, measuring blood pressure became very popular in Chang'an City. Almost everyone wanted to take a test. The teams of Sun Simiao and his disciples often had to line up outside the yard where they set up free clinics for free.

There are also some people in Chang'an City who sneer at this and call it a small path. High blood pressure is more like a disease than a disease. Taking symptoms as a disease is clearly a waste of the root cause and the end.

However, most people still accept this new method of disease testing with an open mind. When people were sick, they could only see some superficial symptoms. Except for some doctors with advanced medical skills, it is difficult for ordinary people to know what is wrong with their bodies.

Even if hypertension is a symptom not a disease, then they will at least clearly show the symptoms that were originally invisible to the world through the blood pressure measuring instrument. This is a huge progress.

Li Shimin obviously thought so, so he commended Sun Simiao in court and asked him to go to the palace to see him.

Sun Simiao was quite proud of his face this time, and soon he brought his two disciples and a newly made upgraded blood pressure measuring instrument into the palace.

When the saint asked about his condition, Sun Simiao said that his blood pressure was indeed relatively high, and he needed to pay attention to a light diet on weekdays, and not sit for a long time when walking around, and be calm and less angry.

Knowing that Li Shimin is currently taking pills, Sun Simiao also advised him a few times, saying that he no longer refining pills, and some of the materials in the pills seem to be harmful to the human body.

He also said that he is doing some research in this area recently, but he has not yet obtained a very definite result.

Sun Simiao gave Li Shimin an injection and prescribed a prescription for recuperation with him. Before leaving, he left the newly made blood pressure measuring instrument in the palace for medical officials to measure blood pressure for the emperor at any time.

Li Shimin didn't respond much to the matter of the elixir at that time, and he was a little disgusted with this topic.

When the palace people presented the pill again that evening, Li Shimin held the pill in his hand and looked at it silently for a long time. Later, he asked the palace people to retreat. As for whether he had taken this pill in the end or not, no one knew.

At the beginning of the 11th month of the lunar calendar, the weather in the Central Plains was already relatively cold. On this day, several cloth merchants in Chang'an City formed a large caravan. They transported silk from Chang'an to Liangzhou, and then transported white flowers and white cloth from Liangzhou.

There are a lot of white buns produced in Liangzhou this year, and the same is true for Zhangye and other places to the west. Therefore, the price of white buns there is now low. They can transport trucks of silk to Liangzhou and at least three times the white buns back. If it is some famous silk weaving, it will naturally be exchanged for more.

Although the profit is good, travel is not easy in this era, and the mountains are high and the roads are far away, but all you earn is hard-earned money.

The sisters of the Luo family operated business in Chang'an City and knew most of these people. This time they arranged for Wu Dalang and others to lead to Liangzhou City with these cloth merchants.

At that time, we will meet with Wu You's family in Liangzhou City, and see if there is a caravan over the Zhao family to go to Dunhuang, and then go west with them.

Wu Dalang was named Wu Gao, and lost his wife in his early years. He also had a brother named Wu Zhuang, and his parents were all there.

The Wu family is kind and the brothers are harmonious. Over the years, Wu Gao has been working in the sister's food shop in Chang'an City. He only occasionally takes the opportunity of shipping goods and goes back with the team. Seeing that his children are doing well at home, he feels at ease.

Wu Gao himself does not have much ability, but fortunately he is a honest person and works very carefully. He has been safe in groceries in the north and south over the years.

The reason why he was transferred to Changle County this time was to provide cover for Wu You, and the second was that something happened to Wu Gao. Xu Erlang refused to allow him to stay in Chang'an City again, saying that if he refused to go to Longxi this time, he would ask him to work at the Needle Floor in Hedong Road.

Wu Gao is a dull person who is not stupid after all. Hexi's needle shops have been running for so long. How can he have a good place now? He will be a human being when he goes there.

It’s better to go to Longxi. It’s a little farther away. Staying by your side always has more opportunities for development.

As for why Wu Gao had to leave Chang'an City this time, it was nothing special, just for a woman.

The woman was originally from a brothel. Wu Gao once met her on the street by chance and was fascinated from then on.

Speaking of which, those brothel women were also miserable women, and there were many of them with affection and righteousness. If this woman was a good woman, Xu Erlang and others would naturally not say much.

However, Wu Gao met someone wrong, and this woman was good at calculating and lies. Earlier, he had a good relationship with Wu Gao, but Wu Gao said he wanted to save money to redeem her and take her as his wife. While she agreed to Wu Gao well, she turned around but was carried home by a small-sized man in Chang'an City to be a concubine.

Wu Gao was like losing his soul during that period. Regardless of Xu Erlang and others' dissuasion, he went to the Langjun's house to find her. He asked a maid next to her to arrange the arrangement, and the two met secretly.

After meeting, the woman cried to Wu Gao, saying that it was not her own voluntary, but that the husband forced her to resist, how could she, a brothel woman?

Wu Gao believed this at that time and almost fought with the husband. Xu Erlang and others almost believed her.

Later, when the husband heard about this, he secretly invited Wu Gao and Xu Erlang to his house and hid it in the small compartment behind the main hall, allowing them to listen to their conversation with the woman.

After hearing this, the truth was revealed. It turned out that the woman had seen the prosperous market in Chang'an City. The romantic man looked down on Wu Gao, an honest man from the countryside.

The reason why she deceived him so much was that Wu Gao was Luo Yong's disciple after all, and the Luo sisters also had business in Chang'an City. If you have nothing to do, don't offend them.

After hearing this, the truth was revealed. When Wu Gao came out of the compartment, the scene inside the room suddenly became very ugly.

After returning, Xu Erlang told Wu Gao again that although the woman said that to the husband in person, she must have her own plans in private. She must have kept Wu Gao as a way out. She would not live well in the husband's house in the future, and maybe she would come to find him.

As a result, the woman had already ruined her image because of coaxing Wu Gao. In addition, the husband was really romantic, and in less than a long time, he began to pamper a newly bought maid again.

After falling out of favor, the woman's life in the mansion became sad day by day. Recently, she really had the idea of ​​Wu Gao again. She pretended to meet him on the street inadvertently. She dressed very simply and looked very down and out. She also looked for an opportunity to talk to Wu Gao, and she was ashamed of her little wife. Soon, Du Gao became soft-hearted again.

Xu Erlang had wanted to send him back to Hedong earlier, but he happened to receive Luo Yong's letter at that time, and it was put on hold for a moment.

During this period, Xu Erlang also asked several senior brothers from North and South Grocery to guide Wu Gao, asking him not to follow the woman's words again. However, the senior brothers moved him to understand the truth, but they often could not resist the woman's hypocritical behavior.

Now that Wu Gao was sent away, Xu Erlang and the others were relieved. The world was dangerous. The Luo family brothers and sisters and Luo Yong's disciples were often on the verge of the storm. How dare that woman dared to let Wu Gao marry her home with such a bad mind?

Before we saw something happened in Chang'an City before, the Du family was involved. Even Du Gou and Du Langjun, who sold canned food in Laizhou, was involved and exiled to Lingnan, almost ruining his life there.

"It's considered leaving." On the day of departure, Aunt Luo and Lin Wulang came out to see these people off together. When the team left, the Aunt couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She is pregnant now and has been pregnant two or one or two months ago. In order to maintain the fetus, the couple is also careful everywhere, for fear of being bumped into each other.

Aunt Luo heard about Wu Gao's incident earlier and even asked him to explain it in detail.

Wu Gaodao's woman had a miserable life. She was sold to the tits by Ye Niang since childhood and went into a brothel. She was helpless and it was common sense to make more plans for herself.

The aunt told him that there are so many miserable people in this world, with good people, and they are not good. How can we judge good and evil based on wealth and wealth? Do you think she is pitiful and think it is harmless?

However, Wu Gao couldn't listen. He just said that Auntie and others didn't know the helplessness and pain of the woman. Both of them regarded her as a vicious person.

"It's okay, it's clear and quiet. If that woman could travel thousands of miles to Changle County, I would still admire her courage." Si Niang was obviously caused by Wu Gao's incident these days.

"She is afraid she can't bear to leave the prosperity and bustle of Chang'an City." The aunt smiled and said, "Let's go and go to my place to sit. Today, Goro and the others are not here, so I happened to talk about the matter in the shop."

This time, there were several managers from the aunt who went to Liangzhou with Wu Gao and others.

Luo Erniang wrote to her early in the morning that she planned to let go of the sister food shop in Liangzhou City and asked her to arrange someone to take over. Now Peng Er has been transferred to Changle County by her, leaving only Tian Chonghu in charge of the shop.

The sister food in Chang'an City has been so old. Aunt Luo has carefully managed it and has recruited many talented women. She gathered the talents of everyone and continuously improved and upgraded. Now, both in terms of food types and management models, it is much more than the shop in Liangzhou City.

This time, these officials went to Liangzhou City, and the main figure was to divide the shop there into two and open a new shop in Liangzhou City.

First, Liangzhou City is now very lively and prosperous, and it is not too many to open two sister food shops there. Second, there is a shop in Liangzhou that has opened so nine, and there must be some experienced and experienced managers there. Split them into two shops and recruit some new people, which is relatively easier to manage.

"...I also told them that if there is someone who really can't control it, I'll coax her to Chang'an City." The aunt sat in the carriage and joked with Si Niang.

Lin Wulang was driving a car in front of him at this time. There were no servants and servants in their family. They did everything themselves. The couple were used to it and were happy to be quiet.

"I heard that the women on the frontier are fierce, I am afraid that you will not be able to surrender to them by then, sister." Si Niang laughed.

"What are you afraid of being fierce? Is it possible that the people born in Chang'an City are all beautiful ladies? There are those who are more fierce than them." The aunt also smiled.

Everyone has their own temperament and their own uses. She has dealt with women and ladies over the years, and she has never seen any people before. As long as the hearts are right, she will not be afraid of anything else.

The two sisters talked all the way to Aunt Luo's house. Lin Wulang settled them and said he wanted to go out to buy vegetables.

"Why don't I go." Si Niang is older this year and is very sensible. The two sisters sit in the yard, but ask her brother-in-law to buy groceries and cook, and she is afraid that people will gossip.

"Don't worry about him, tell him to go. Now he is very cooked with the restaurant and meat shop in the market. If you ask him to go, you can buy a lot of things more than you do for the same money."

The aunt stopped Si Niang with a smile, and told Goro to buy too much, so as not to eat too much today and eat leftovers tomorrow, so naturally Goro has eaten more leftovers.

"My brother-in-law is still good. Even I can't even argue with those who sell vegetables." Si Niang then smiled and turned back.

"What else can he say? But the women who sell vegetables say he is a good person, and they laughed at me for the blessings I made in my previous life. I actually married a brother-in-law like your brother-in-law." The aunt went into the house to pick up some walnuts and red dates, and then returned to the corridor with Si Niang to sit down. It was a little cold outside this month, but fortunately it was bright and open, so the room was still a little boring.

"If they can earn that much money, they can also call their own men the inside but not the outside."

Si Niang followed her all the way, and sat down in the corridor, took the small hammer handed over by her sister, and smashed the walnuts one by one. She started to do it quickly and accurately, and had moderate strength.

"Tsk, you don't know that even if the men in this world are supported by women, they are not very peaceful."

"That's right, there was someone who had a good time with me before..."

"He is pretty good at it, you don't know..."

"…There are such shameless people in the world?"

"I've gone too much. When I was in Wuxian earlier, we were on that street..."

"Wow……"

Aunt Luo has been dealing with women over the years, and she doesn’t know how much gossip she has heard. Even Si Niang, who is quite knowledgeable, has opened her eyes to her.

The aunt is now focused on nurturing her baby and doesn't go to the shop often. The fourth lady just stayed here all day today to help her relieve her boredom. When she heard her gossip, she was also very interested in listening to her.

When the evening drum was about to rise, Si Niang left the aunt and her yard, boarded her own carriage, and left Datongfang.

Although she bought the carriage herself, the coachman was arranged by Bai Yimao from Bai's mansion. The coachman did nothing all day long and drove the carriage for her alone. In the morning, she took the carriage out of the city to see off Wu Gao and others. Later, when she met Aunt Luo, she got on the carriage. The carriage followed behind her, and then waited outside the yard of Aunt Luo's house. Finally, before dark, she took Si Niang back to Bai's mansion.

Siniang opened the car window and let the cold wind of early winter pour into the car.

In the direction of the palace, today's closed doors are urging people who are still walking outside to go home soon.

Although it was winter now, Chang'an City did not seem deserted. They walked through the streets and saw many wealthy families and shops. At this time, they were lit up the thori stone lanterns produced in Longxi that were bought at high prices, and the lights were bright everywhere.

Si Niang naturally knew that this kind of lantern was produced by Luo Yong’s workshop. After a while, a large number of lampshades, facial towels and cashmere sweaters were transported to Chang'an City and sold in north and south groceries.
