Luo Xin looked at the astonished expressions of everyone and continued:

"No one of the farmers who grow vegetables buy his vegetables. What will happen to him?

starve.

No one buys fish, what will happen to those fishermen?

starve!

What will happen to those workshops if you don’t buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar?

starve.

In other words, those of us who are able to make money, whether they are state salaries, or those merchants and aristocratic families, have to spend money. Only when we spend money, eat, buy clothes, and spend all the money we can spend can more people not starve to death. For example, now, when we have a meal here, we can help the bosses here, the guys here, the meat sellers, the fish in the market, the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, and fishers, and the workshops so that they will not go from food and clothing to starves.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty was founded was because of hard work. If hardworking people gave the money they earned to others for free, what would happen?

It will create thoughts that can be obtained for nothing. What will they do if they cannot get benefits for nothing? If they refuse to work hard, they will become bandits. In this way, the morality of the Ming Dynasty will collapse and become the same as the original Huns and Japanese pirates.

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

So, what do all the municipal farmers, industry and commerce do when they pay taxes? They are for the country to use them at this time. Otherwise, what else do we need to do in the Ming Dynasty? What else do we need to do in our officials?"

Hai Rui stared at Luo Xin blankly, and Zhang Juzheng and others also fell into deep thought. After a while, Zhang Juzheng looked at Luo Xin and said:

"No, what you said seems to make sense, but I still can't figure it out."

Everyone, including Hai Rui, looked at Luo Xin.

"Rubber!" Luo Xin said in a deep voice: "A pool of stagnant water will become odor, but living water will always be clear. Why is this? It is because of circulation.

For example, the meal we eat today is the circulation of wealth and the circulation of money. In this meal, we not only ate our stomachs, but also allowed the wealth in our hands to circulate, from the owners of this restaurant to the merchants of the market, to farmers, farmers, vegetables, fishermen, craftsmen. And these bosses, friends, farmers, vegetables, fishermen and craftsmen do not get it for nothing, but obtain the capital for their survival through labor."

Everyone fell into deep thought, and even Hai Rui locked his eyebrows and thought, no longer saying that the rich people had frozen bones on the road of wine and meat.

Luo Xin clapped his hands and woke everyone up from his meditation and said, "Everyone, I'll invite everyone today, but I still want to exchange views on the matter of disarmament."

Hai Rui said in a deep voice: "What's the exchange for this? The soldiers in the garrison are not as big as wars. Are soldiers who are not as big as wars still called soldiers? Such people are cancers, just cut them off."

"This is not a solution to the problem." Luo Xin shook his head and said, "They are also people of the Ming Dynasty. You can cut them off, but you have to arrange your future life for them. Is there any land to distribute to them in the Ming Dynasty now?

Cut them off but don’t divide the land for them. Regardless of their life or death, they will immediately become victims of disasters. We cannot leave a bigger problem in order to solve a problem."

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

"I didn't expect this, I just saw that the ward had rotten from top to bottom."

"Yes!" Luo Xin sighed, "So this problem must be solved, and it must be solved very 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 issue of resettlement of these laid-off soldiers after the disarmament.

The second is that after the disarmament, the Ming Dynasty must have a warable army that can maintain national stability. No one wants the Ming Dynasty to be attacked by troops again."

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

"Yes!" Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "All knowledgeable people actually see the other end of the Wei system. The reason why some people oppose it is just that they have influenced their interests."

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "The matter of disarmament is necessary. Your Majesty has decided. Although the ministers in the court have some controversy, they have also seen His Majesty's determination. The controversy is getting smaller and smaller. Instead, they raised a major drawback and problem after the disarmament. They hope that the court cannot solve these drawbacks and problems and have to withdraw the disarmament. And we are the ones who want to solve these problems."

Looking at everyone, Luo Xin continued, "We were called Xiaoliu. To put it bluntly. If we handle this matter well, we will be the real Xiaoliu. Not only did we solve the problems for the country and the people, but we also prove our ability. But if we do not solve these problems, we will take the blame. This matter not only concerns the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, but also our future, and even our lives. I mean, today we will come up with a charter, reach a consensus, and then go back to find our own Shangshu to advance this matter in one direction."

After hearing Luo Xin's words, Zhu Dashou said, "Good idea. These seven of us can represent all aspects of the court, the Six Ministry plus the Censorate. From a certain aspect, the Seven of us are representatives of the Six Ministry and the Censorate. As long as we can reach a consensus, the Six Ministry will basically have a direction."

Everyone nodded, then they were silent, thinking about ways to solve the problem. For a moment, the room became silent.

After a while, Hai Rui spoke, "I took this matter up to me, and I thought of several methods. The first method is to make a living by the laid-off soldiers. They can become officials, do business, and work in agriculture."

Tao Dalin shook his head and said, "This method is not advisable. First of all, those soldiers do not know the big words. Even if the country is grateful and allows them to study and study, they do not know the words. How can they go on this path?

Besides, they don’t even have land, so how do they farm?

Finally, when it comes to doing business, they can’t even eat enough, so where can 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 can not disarmament all at once, but we can slowly disarmament batch by batch, so that the military will rebound less, and it is relatively easy to arrange a batch of layoffs every year."
