Chapter 1244 Hai Rui Who Destroys the Atmosphere

Marin could also see that Luo Xin was really upset. He pretended to be calm in front of others, but he didn't pretend to be in front of himself. He couldn't help worrying for Luo Xin, so he said:

"The nephew is leaving, uncle, don't be too tired."

"Understood! Let's go." Luo Xin waved his hand.

Marin backed out, walked out of the gate, paused, shook his head and sighed, and then walked towards the mansion.

Luo Xin sat there stunned for a while, and then said to Fan Yingqi: "Send me some invitations, I will treat you tonight."

"It's your nephews again?" Fan Yingqi asked.

"no!"

It gets dark early in winter.

By the time Luo Xin was on duty, it was already dark, and it was still snowing outside. Today's winter was colder than usual. It had been falling for three consecutive days in this university, and the snow didn't even reach the calf.The cold wind is bitter, and the dripping water turns into ice. There are almost no people on the road, and beggars freeze to death every day.

This is destined to be a catastrophe year!And Luo Xin knew that this kind of weather would become more serious every year, and it would be even more serious in the Wanli period, and in the Chongzhen period, the world would be in chaos.

This is Little Glacier!

Luo Xin came to Jia's House in a sedan chair, and he was going to treat guests here today.Who is it?
Zhang Juzheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zhu Dashou, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Tao Dalin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Chen Jin, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, and Wen Yinglu, Minister of the Ministry of War.There is also a Zuodu censor Hai Rui.

Luo Xin knew that the matter of disarmament could no longer be delayed, and the more it was delayed, the more complicated things would become.So he invited these people together today to discuss the framework.

Why do you want to treat guests? Needless to say?When the Chinese talk about things at the dinner table, the atmosphere is always better.It won't be so hard to blush and have a thick neck.

Luo Xin asked for a private room in Jia's Building and got a hot pot.Eating hot pot in this winter makes it hotter and hotter.

When Luo Xin arrived, Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Dashou, Tao Dalin, Chen Jin and Wen Yinglu had already arrived. When they saw Luo Xin walking in, they all stood up and said with a smile:

"My lord is late."

Luo Xin then sat down and said, "Some things have been dealt with, but I'm not the latest one, Hai Rui hasn't arrived yet!"

As soon as Luo Xin finished speaking, Hai Rui came in and said, "How many of us are so free? Your Majesty entrusted me with disaster relief. Every day I go outside, I freeze like a dog."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed, and Luo Dao said, "When everyone is here, don't say anything. Let's eat first, and let's talk after warming up."

Everyone moved their chopsticks one after another, the pot was steaming hot, and they didn't care about other things, they ate with forgetfulness, and no one spoke anymore.

It took half an hour to eat, and the seven people ate until their foreheads were sweating, and they were almost full, so they all became gentle.Chen Jin looked at Hai Rui and said:
"Anyway, Mr. Hai was the last one to come, so he will be punished with alcohol."

Hai Rui didn't say a word, picked up the jug and poured wine for himself, and drank three glasses in a row, everyone cheered.

"readily!"

Luo Xin picked up the wine glass and said, "Master Hai comes in the wind and goes in the snow, let's toast Master Hai."

"Respect!"

"Respect!"

Everyone raised their wine glasses. At this moment, Hai Rui felt a little embarrassed, so he took a drink with everyone.After putting down the wine glass, Luo Xin asked:

"How is the disaster?"

"What a tragedy!" Hai Rui sighed and said, "It's thanks to your lord that this year's disaster victims didn't die as much as in previous years. Now there is a shipping department in the south and an exchange market in the north. Daming is not short of money. The disaster relief can be done in a timely manner. If it is like before, this Daming does not know how many people will die."

"No, it's not easy to get a compliment from Mr. Hai!" Zhang Juzheng looked at Luo Dao with a smile.

Hai Rui said with a serious expression, "However, the disaster is still very serious."

Hai Rui glanced at the heavy snow outside the window and said, "This winter is too cold and the snow is deep, which brings great difficulties to disaster relief."

Speaking of this, he glanced at the hot pot and said: "We eat meat here, but there are many victims who can't even eat enough. It's really Zhumen's wine and meat stinks and the bones are frozen to death."

When he said those words, there was a burst of embarrassment in the room.Luo Xin couldn't help but shook his head slightly. In his opinion, Hai Rui is a bit of a man who hates the rich and doesn't want others to live a good life.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Luo Xin knew that he had to stop talking, otherwise it would spoil the atmosphere.

"Brother Hai, you can't say that!"

"So you can't say that?" Hai Rui insisted, "Take the meal we had today as an example. If you exchange the money for porridge, do you know how many people can be saved?"

Everyone's faces became even uglier, but Luo Xin said calmly: "If we all act like Brother Hai, do you know how many people will starve to death? Do you know how many happy families will be ruined? And you Do you know that this will make a nation lose its aggressiveness and destroy Ming Dynasty? Or will it make Ming Dynasty a nation that has lost morality and only knows how to plunder like the Xiongnu and Japanese pirates?"

Hai Rui's face turned pale, and he gasped and said, "I don't know. I don't study much, and I didn't pass the Jinshi exam. I'll ask Mr. Zhuangyuan for advice."

"Okay, let's take this restaurant as an example. If everyone is like Brother Hai and spends all their money on charity relief, it will be able to add some gruel to the victims, but there is no guarantee that they will be able to save the victims." live victims."

"But having a bowl of porridge is better than not having a bowl of porridge." Hai Rui said excitedly.

"Yes, I didn't say it was wrong. But have you ever thought that the owner of this restaurant also worked hard and lived frugally since he was young, or when his father and grandfather were young? I finally opened this restaurant. Is it possible for the family to live a happy life, even in such a disaster year at university, with clothes to wear and food to eat?

But, just because of you, Brother Hai, all the guests don't come to this restaurant to eat, and they will give the victims a bowl of porridge with the meal money, so what will happen to the owner of this restaurant?
Will starve to death, will freeze to death!
Also, what about the guys employed by this restaurant?
If there is no business, the boss can only dismiss the clerk. If the clerk has no work to do, he will become a disaster victim, will freeze to death, or starve to death.Also, this restaurant has to go to the market every day to sell meat, right?Do you want to buy food?sell fish?Should I buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar?
However, because the restaurant collapsed, no one bought meat, no one bought vegetables, no one bought fish, no one bought oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

So what will be the fate of these people?
Will freeze to death, will starve to death!
Butchers are starving to death, so those who can count on raising pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, such poultry and livestock are not bought, what should they do?Do you eat the things you raise?finished eating?
Starve to death, freeze to death! "
