Ma Lin also saw that Luo Xin was really upset, and he was calm in front of others, but he didn't pretend to be in front of himself, and he couldn't help but worry about Luo Xin in his heart, so he said:

"That nephew is retiring, uncle, don't be too tired."

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

Marin stepped back and walked out of the gate, paused, shook his head and sighed, and then walked towards the house.

Luo Xin sat there for a while, and then said to Fan Yingji: "Help me send a few invitations, I'll have a treat tonight." ”

"Your nephews again?" Fan Yingzhi said.

"It's not!"

In winter, it gets dark early.

By the time Luo Xin went down, it was already dark, it was still snowing outside, and today's winter was colder than usual, and it had been raining for three days in a row, and the snow had not reached the calves. The wind was bitterly cold, the dripping water turned into ice, there were almost no people on the road, and beggars froze to death every day.

This is destined to be a catastrophic year! And Luo Xin knows that this kind of weather will get worse every year, and it will be more serious in the Wanli year, and in the Chongzhen year, the world will be in chaos.

This is the Xiaoice River!

Luo Xin took a sedan chair to Jiajialou, and today he was going to have a treat here. Who's invited?

Zhang Juzheng, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, Zhu Dashou, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, Tao Dalin, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and Wen Yinglu, the waiter of the Ministry of War. There is also a left capital Yu Shi Hairui.

Luo Xin knew that the matter of disarmament could no longer be delayed, and the more it was delayed, the more complicated it became. So he's going to bring these people together today and negotiate the framework.

Why do you want to have a treat, does it need to be said? Chinese talk about things at the dinner table, and the atmosphere can always be better. It will not be blushing and having a thick neck at that time.

Luo Xin asked for a box in Jiajialou and made a hot pot. Eating hot pot in this winter makes it hotter and hotter the more you eat.

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

"Your Excellency is late."

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

As soon as Luo Xin's words fell, he saw Hai Rui walk in and said, "How can I be so idle?" His Majesty handed over the disaster relief to me, and every day outside, I was frozen into a dog. ”

"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed, Luo Xin said: "Everyone is here, don't say anything, everyone eat first, and then talk about it after eating warm." ”

Everyone moved their chopsticks one after another, the pot was steaming, and everyone didn't care about anything else, and ate it unwillingly, and no one spoke anymore.

This meal was half an hour, and the seven people all ate sweaty on their foreheads, and they were almost full, so they got up one by one. Chen Jin looked at Hai Rui and said:

"Anyway, Lord Hai is the last to come, and this will be punished for drinking."

Hai Rui didn't say anything, picked up the flask and poured himself wine, and then drank three glasses in a row, and everyone cheered.

"Refreshing!"

Luo Xin picked up the wine glass and said: "Lord Hai comes in the wind, goes in the snow, let's toast Lord Hai with a glass." ”

"Be respectful!"

"Be respectful!"

Everyone raised their wine glasses, but Hai Rui was a little embarrassed at this time, and took the wine glass and drank it all with everyone. After putting down the wine glass, Luo Xin asked:

"How's the situation going?"

"Miserable!" Hai Rui sighed and said, "This is still the credit of adults, so that this year's victims did not die as much as in previous years." Nowadays, there are cities in the south and mutual markets in the north, and the Ming Dynasty is not short of money, and disaster relief can be timely. If it is like before, this Ming does not know how many people will die. ”

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

Hai Rui said with a serious expression: "But the disaster is still very serious. ”

Hai Rui glanced at the heavy snow outside the window and said: "This year's winter is too cold, and the snow is deep, which has brought great difficulties to disaster relief. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at the hot pot and said: "We are eating meat here, but there are many victims who can't even eat enough. ”

When he said this, there was a burst of embarrassment in the room. Luo Xin couldn't help but shake his head slightly, in his opinion, Hai Rui is a bit of a hater of the rich, and he can't see others living a good life.

When Luo Xin saw everyone's expressions, he knew that he couldn't stop talking, otherwise he would ruin the atmosphere.

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

"Can't say that?" Hai Rui said stiffly: "Let's take the meal we ate today, let's exchange this money for porridge, do you know how many people can be saved?" ”

Everyone's faces became even more ugly, but Luo Xin said calmly: "If they all do like Brother Hai, do you know how many people will starve to death?" Do you know how many originally happy homes will be ruined? And do you know that this will make a nation lose its enterprising spirit and will make the Ming Dynasty perish? Or did it make the Ming Dynasty become a people like the Xiongnu and the Wako, who lost their morality and only knew how to loot? ”

Hai Rui's face turned white, and he gasped and said, "I don't know, I don't read much, I didn't get into the Jinshi, and I asked the champion for advice." ”

"Okay, let's take this restaurant as an example. If all the people are like Brother Hai and use all the money for charity and disaster relief, they can add some gruel to those disaster victims, but there is no guarantee that they will be able to save the victims. ”

"But a bowl of porridge is better than no 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 opened this restaurant from a young age, or his father and grandfather when they were young, from setting up a stall, working hard a little bit, saving money, and finally opening this restaurant. Can you make your family or live a happy life, even in such a college disaster year, you still have clothes to wear and food?

However, just because of you, Brother Hai, all the guests do not come to this restaurant to eat, and the money for the meal will be added to the disaster victims to add a bowl of porridge, so what will happen to the owner of this restaurant?

Will starve, will freeze to death!

Also, what about the guys hired by this restaurant?

If there is no business, the boss can only dismiss the man, and if the man has no work to do, he will become a disaster victim, and he will freeze to death and starve to death. Also, this restaurant has to go to the market every day to sell meat, right? Grocery shopping, right? Sell fish, right? Buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, right?

However, because this restaurant collapsed, then no one went to buy meat, no one went to buy 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!

The meat sellers starved to death, so what would they do if they could have counted on pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, and no one bought any kind of livestock? Those things you raise to eat yourself? What about after eating?

Starving, freezing to death! ”
