Mingshi

Chapter 1245 Luo Xin's Theory

Luo Xin looked at the stunned expressions of everyone, and continued:

"What will happen to a vegetable farmer if no one buys his vegetables?
starve.

What happens to those fishermen when no one buys fish?
starve!

If you don’t buy oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, what will happen to those workshops?
starve.

That is to say, those of us who have the ability to earn money, whether we eat state salaries, or businessmen, aristocratic families, just spend money, and only we are the ones who spend money, eat, buy clothes, and spend everything. The money that can be spent can keep more people from starving to death.Just like we are now, we have a meal here, we can help the boss here, help the guys here, help the butchers in the market, buy vegetables, buy fish, buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, help raise Pigs, help raise chickens, ducks and geese, help fishermen, help workshops, so that they will not turn from a state of food and clothing to starving to death.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty was founded was because of hard work.If hard-working people give away the money they earn to others for free, what will be the consequences?
It will create the idea of ​​getting something for nothing, once they don't get the benefits for nothing, what will they do?If he refuses to work hard, he will become a bandit, and the morality of Ming Dynasty will collapse, and he will become the same as the Xiongnu pirates.

I know you will talk about the disaster victims, not because they are not hardworking, but because of natural disasters.

So, what do all the city's farmers, industry and commerce, what do they usually pay taxes for?It is for the country to use at this time.Otherwise, what else would the Ming Dynasty do?What else do we officials do? "

Hai Rui stared blankly at Luo Xin, Zhang Juzheng and the others were also lost in thought.After a while, Zhang Juzheng looked at Luo Dao:
"No, what you said seems to make sense, but I still can't figure it out."

Everyone including Hai Rui looked at Luo Xin.

"Circulation!" Luo Xin said in a deep voice, "A pool of stagnant water will stink, but living water will always be clear. Why is that? It is because of circulation.

Just like the meal we ate today, this is the circulation of wealth, the circulation of money.This meal not only filled our stomachs, but also circulated the wealth in our hands, from the owner of the restaurant to the guys, the merchants in the market, to the farmers, farmers, vegetable farmers, and fishermen ,artisan.And these bosses, guys, farmers, farmers, vegetable farmers, fishermen and craftsmen did not get something for nothing, but obtained the capital for their survival through labor. "

Everyone was lost in thought, even Hai Rui frowned and thought about it, no longer saying that the road of rich wine and meat was frozen to death.

Luo Xin slapped his hands and woke everyone up from their contemplation: "Everyone, I invite everyone here today, and I still want to exchange views on the matter of disarmament."

Hai Rui said in a deep voice, "What's the exchange? The soldiers in the guards are no big deal at all. Are the soldiers who are too big a deal still called soldiers? Such people are cancerous, just cut them off."

"This is not the solution to the problem." Luo Xin shook his head and said, "They are also citizens of Daming. It is okay to lay them off, but we must arrange their future lives. Does Daming have any land for them now?
Cut them off, but don't give them land, regardless of their life or death, they will immediately become disaster victims.We cannot solve a problem and leave a bigger problem. "

Hai Rui's face turned red. He also has advantages, that is, he will never hide his mistakes. He said a little embarrassedly:

"I didn't think of this, I just saw that the guard was rotten from top to bottom."

"Yes!" Luo Xin sighed: "So this problem must be solved, and it must be solved well. Now we are facing two problems."

Everyone looked serious and looked at Luo Xin.Luo Xin frowned slightly and said:

"The first is the placement of these laid-off soldiers after the disarmament.

The second is that after disarmament, Ming Dynasty must still have an army capable of maintaining the stability of the country.Everyone does not hope that one day, Daming will be attacked by soldiers again. "

Wen Yinglu said: "The adults in the court have discussed this matter three times, but whether to disarm is very controversial."

"That's right!" Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "All people with insight have actually seen the other side of the Weisuo system. The reason why some people still oppose it is because their interests have been moved."

Luo Xin waved his hand and said: "The matter of disarmament is necessary, His Majesty has already decided. Although the ministers in the court have disputes, they have also seen His Majesty's determination. There are a lot of disadvantages and problems after the disarmament, and they hope that the court will not be able to solve these disadvantages and problems, so they will have to withdraw the disarmament. And we are the ones who will solve these problems."

Looking at the crowd, Luo Xin continued: "We are called the Little Sixth Division. It's not easy to say. If we handle this matter well, we will be the real Little Sixth Division. Not only have we solved the problem for the country and the people, but also proved that Our ability. But if we fail to solve these problems, we will be blamed. This matter is not only related to the foundation of Ming Dynasty, but also to our future, and even our wealth and life. I mean, let’s come up with it today. A charter, reach a consensus, and then go back to find their own Lord Shangshu, and push this matter in one direction."

After hearing Luo Xin's words, Zhu Dashou said: "Good idea. The seven of us can represent all aspects of the imperial court, the six ministries plus the Metropolitan Procuratorate. From a certain perspective, the seven of us are the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. As long as we can reach a consensus, the six departments will basically have a direction.”

Everyone nodded one after another, and then fell silent, thinking about the solution to the problem.For a while, the room fell silent.

After a while, Hai Rui opened his mouth and said, "I started this matter by myself. I thought of several methods. The first method is to make the laid-off soldiers free to make a living. They can become officials, do business, and farm. .”

Tao Dalin shook his head and said: "This method is not advisable. First of all, those soldiers are illiterate. Even if the state favors them and allows them to study and take scientific examinations, they don't know how to read. How can we go this way?
Besides farming, they don't even have land, how can they farm?

Finally, when it comes to doing business, they can't even eat enough to eat. Where do they get the capital to do business? "

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Brother Hai, is there a second way?"

"Yes!" Hai Rui nodded and said, "We don't need to disarm the army all at once, we can gradually disarm the army in batches, so that the military's rebound will be less, and it is relatively easy to arrange a batch of laid-off troops every year. Better arrange it."
