Knowing that His Majesty did not want to pursue immortality, Guo Jia and the others were also relieved. Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu both pursued this thing, and in the end, they pitted themselves, and they didn't see the two of them immortal.

It's just that I don't understand too much, what is Liu Tao's so-called new discipline, it can't be teaching students to alchemy, right? To say that this medical academy has been built in Luoyang?

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

Time passed day by day, and Yuan Shu's head was sent over. Liu Tao ordered someone to send it to the vegetable market, show it to the public for a month, and then find a random place to bury it. If Yuan Yao sends someone to converge, let him converge, and people can't be so ruthless.

On the Xuzhou side, Zhang Fei also came with news. On Que Xuan's side, he didn't stay, and cut it directly. On Zang Ba's side, Zhang Fei said that this kid has a great appetite for him and plans to take it under his command.

For Zang Ba, Liu Tao remembered that he seemed to be Cao Wei's famous general, but he didn't remember how big an official he was. After all, the impression of him is more, probably staying in the game, the generals under Lu Bu, and later attached to Cao Cao.

Since Zhang Fei is interested, then arrange to serve under him. Xu Huang can only start from a small soldier, Zang Ba and his little friends, of course, have to start from a small soldier, this is the basic principle.

"Snow is falling...... Nothing can be done. Looking at the heavy snow outside the window, Liu Tao sighed slightly.

This year's snow is great, at least it feels normal. In this way, the climate next year should be slightly more normal, and I always feel that this period of time in the late Han Dynasty is the same as the end of the Ming Dynasty, just in the era of the Xiaoice River.

Anyway, the climate is not normal, I just hope that the next year will be normal. Otherwise, we can only continue to reserve and close positions, and at the same time constantly improve water conservancy facilities or something.

Yes...... I remembered that in 195 A.D., there was not only a drought, but also a locust plague, which was calculated to be the year after tomorrow. In this way, it is unlikely that the climate will be normal next year......

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Qian Fu asked tentatively.

I have to say that this person close to him is amazing. He didn't show his face, but he actually noticed that he was troubled. This ability to read words and emotions makes people dare not put it around them.

"I'm just thinking that the climate next year and the year after next year may not be normal, such as drought or something." Liu Tao didn't hide it, after all, he had to discuss it with the people of the sixth department later.

"Isn't there a standing position? Even if it's a bit drought, there's always a way. Qian Fu said with a smile.

"The Chang Ping position in the Central Plains has not been perfected, and what I am worried about is that the grain reserves are not enough." Liu Tao said.

"When there is a drought, water conservancy is carried up, and there are enough ditches and carts to irrigate the place. It's really not good, Your Majesty is in Yunzhong and Wuyuan County, isn't there still an irrigation method called drip irrigation? Qian Fu thought about it and said what he thought.

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

In the case of locust plagues, it is enough to start catching locusts before they become large. Let the Propaganda Department do a good job of publicity, and even take advantage of the fact that the locust plague has not yet come next year, and popularize locust dishes or something in advance......

In later generations, many people said that the locusts that formed the locust plague could not be eaten, but in fact, either the species of locusts themselves could not be eaten, or they could not eat so much. After all, not every locust itself is edible.

Since you can't eat it when the locust plague is formed, you should start catching and eating it before that! There is no need to even publicize it, just say that they like to eat, mark what kind of locusts they are, and the local people are estimated to be able to catch locusts as endangered animals.

As for what can't 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 be supported.

After all, this thing itself is not ventilated, if the health problem is not handled well, then a little chicken plague and duck plague, a death is a large area, far from free-range safety.

The advantage is that the fattening is fast, the slaughter is early, and the breeding site does not need to be too large. If you raise free-range, it is estimated that there will only be more than 100 chickens and ducks on a hill, and no matter how much you estimate, you will 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 that Cao Cao is under his command, judging from the current situation, there should be no need for this thing to appear.

Later, Su Shuang, a waiter from the Ministry of Industry, called over and explained some of the things he 'predicted', saying that the focus of next year's work is the water conservancy construction in the Central Plains and the construction of Changping.

"If the funds are sufficient, there will be no problem on the minister's side." Su Shuang immediately expressed his position.

"Isn't there enough money?" Liu Tao was a little surprised.

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

The military expenditure is already low, after all, I remember that according to the intelligence, Zhang Chao's military expenditure is even as high as sixty percent. The funds for governance are insufficient, and taxes are constantly increasing, so it is no wonder that Guangling Chen sold Zhang Chao after changing hands.

The expenses of the Ministry of Rites are mainly educational funds, after all, he decided to spread out the academy last year. Otherwise, if the examinations at all levels are not rolled out, and the imperial examination will have to be a general examination three years later, it will be too fucked.

In addition, there is also propaganda expenses, after all, after the end of the Central Plains War, propaganda is needed everywhere, striving to win over most of the people, as well as some of the scholars. Don't let them be fooled by those scholars, let them understand that the Han court has always worked hard for the majority of Li people.

The end result is that investment in infrastructure, as well as water conservancy, may decline slightly. The main expenses of the Ministry of Industry, not only for agriculture, industry and water, but also for the final completion of the railway.

Yes, the previously planned railway will be completed next year, and then the trial will begin to open to traffic. Don't count on the steamy ones, let's make do with the horse-drawn ones!

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

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

"Put this part in? No, no, it's better to reduce the cost a little, for example, let the local gentry help raise some chickens and ducks or something, do you think it's reliable? Liu Tao thought for a while and asked.

"There is no problem with this, many scholars still plan to curry favor with the imperial court. And in terms of results, a large number of chickens and ducks are raised, which is not a loss for them. Xun Yu thought about it and nodded back.

"That's it! Others slightly draw up a detailed charter out. Liu Tao was satisfied.

Xun Yu and Su Shuang didn't ask, whether there is really a drought and locust plague, Your Majesty is a child of the immortal family, there is no need to explain!
