Knowing that Your Majesty was not trying to pursue immortality, Guo Jia and others were relieved. Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu had both pursued this thing, and in the end they just cheated themselves, and they did not see them immortality.

I just don’t understand much. What is Liu Tao’s so-called new discipline? It can’t be to teach students to refine alchemy? Isn’t this medical school already selected a site in Luoyang?

Anyway, Your Majesty is not like this on the first day, just get used to it...

As time passed, Yuan Shu's head was sent over. Liu Tao ordered people to send them to the vegetable market for a month, and then found a place to bury them. If Yuan Yao sent someone to restrain himself, he would let him restrain himself, and he would not be so ruthless.

On the Xuzhou side, Zhang Fei also heard news. On the side of Que Xuan, he did not stay and directly chopped it up. On the side of Zang Ba, Zhang Fei said that this kid is very fond of his appetite and plans to take him over.

Regarding Zang Ba, Liu Tao remembered that he seemed to be a famous general of Cao Wei, but he didn't remember how high he was. After all, his impression of him was probably in the game. The generals under Lu Bu later joined Cao Cao.

Since Zhang Fei is interested, then arrange to serve under his command. Xu Huang can only start with a small soldier. Zang Ba and his friends must also start with a small soldier. This is the basic principle.

"It's snowing heavily... nothing can be done." Looking at the heavy snow outside the window, Liu Tao sighed slightly.

The snow this year is great, at least it gives people a very normal feeling. In this way, the climate next year should be a little normal. I always feel that the late Han Dynasty was the same as the late Ming Dynasty, and it happened to be the Little Ice Age.

Anyway, the climate is not normal, I just hope it will be normal in the next year. Otherwise, I can only continue to reserve and close the positions regularly, and at the same time continuously improve water conservancy facilities and other things.

Ah... I remembered that in 195 AD, not only drought, but also locust plague. It is the year after tomorrow. In this way, the climate next year is unlikely to be normal...

"Your Majesty, what are you worried about?" Qian Fu asked tentatively.

I have to say that this person close to him is amazing. He doesn't show his voice, but this person notices that he has troubles. His ability to observe words and expressions makes people dare not keep it by his side.

"I just thought that the climate next year and the next year may be abnormal, such as drought or something." Liu Tao did not hide it. After all, I have to discuss it with the people from the six ministries later.

"Isn't it possible to close the position regularly? Even if it's a little drought, there's always a way." Qian Fu smiled.

"The Changping Warehouse in Central Plains has not been perfected. What I am worried about is that the reserved food is not enough." Liu Tao said.

"If drought is used, water conservancy will be improved. Ditches and carts are enough, and they can always irrigate to the local area. If it really doesn't work, isn't your Majesty still called drip irrigation in Yunzhong and Wuyuan County?" Qian Fu thought for a while and expressed his thoughts.

"That's all!" Liu Tao shook his head. Compared to locust plague, drought is more troublesome.

If the locust plague is formed, you can start to catch it before it is formed. Let the publicity department do a good job of publicity, and even popularize locust vegetables and other things in advance before the locust plague is coming next year...

Many people in later generations said that locusts that formed locust plagues cannot be eaten. In fact, either the species of locusts cannot be eaten by themselves or they cannot finish so much. After all, not every locust can be eaten by itself.

Since locust plague cannot be eaten, then start catching it before! There is no need to promote it, just say that you like to eat it and mark it as a kind of locust. Local people will probably be able to capture locusts as endangered animals.

As for what cannot be eaten, it can be caught and used to raise chickens and ducks, which is a good protein supplement. This means that a centralized farm is needed... I don’t know if this era can support it.

After all, this thing itself is not ventilated and breathable. If the hygiene problem is not handled properly, then if there is a bit of chicken plague and duck plague, it will be a large area once it dies, which is far from free-range safety.

The advantage is that it grows fast, slaughteres early, and does not need to be too large for breeding. If you have free range, you will probably only have more than one hundred chickens and ducks on a mountain. No matter how many you have, you will probably not be able to find enough food.

Speaking of which, around 194 AD, when Cao Cao lacked military rations, the notorious program cured meat came into being. Now Cao Cao is under his command, and judging from the current situation, this thing should not be needed.

Later, Su Shuang, the Minister of Works, called over and explained some of the things he had "predicted" and said that next year's work focus was water conservancy construction in the Central Plains and Changping Warehouse Construction.

"If the funds are sufficient, there will be no problem for me." Su Shuang immediately stated.

"Isn't the funds enough?" Liu Tao was a little surprised.

"Military expenditure accounts for 40% of the total expenditure, the Ministry of Rites accounts for 30%, and the other parts occupy 30%." Su Shuang replied.

The military expenditure is already low. After all, I remember that according to the information, Zhang Chao's military expenditure was even as high as 60%. The government's funds were insufficient and taxes were continuously increased. It is not a big reason why the Chen family in Guangling sold Zhang Chao after reselling it.

The expenses of the Ministry of Rites are mainly education funds. After all, the college must be expanded, which he decided last year. Otherwise, the examinations at all levels will not be expanded, and the imperial examinations will be subject to a general examination in three years, which would be too fucked.

There is also publicity expenses. After all, after the war in the Central Plains, publicity is needed everywhere to win over most of the people and some of the gentry. Don’t let them be fooled by those gentry, let them understand that the Han Dynasty has always worked hard for the general public.

The final result is that investment in infrastructure and water conservancy may decline slightly. The main expenses of the Ministry of Industry, not only agriculture, industry and hydraulics, are invested in most of the funds at the end of the railway.

Yes, the railway I planned before will be completed next year and then it will start to try to open traffic. Don’t expect steam, just use a horse to make do!

"This..." Liu Tao looked at Xun Yu, and it was indeed right to call him over in advance.

"Your Majesty, this Central Plains War has seized a lot of gold, silver and treasures, which have been supplemented into the national treasury. This part has not been calculated in next year's budget." Fortunately, Xun Yu had a plan to deal with it.

"Invest this part in it? No, it's better to reduce the expenses a little, for example, if you ask local gentry to help raise some chickens and ducks, do you think it's reliable?" Liu Tao thought for a while and asked.

"This is no problem. Many gentry also plan to please the court. And from the result, raising a large number of chickens and ducks is not a loss for them." Xun Yu thought for a while, nodded and replied.

"That's it! The others have a little bit of a detailed charter." Liu Tao was satisfied now.
Chapter completed!
