My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 17 Huangtian Daoting
Given the current strength of the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong, taking over the entire Julu Commandery would be a piece of cake, and they could even take over Jizhou in a little time.

The reason for not being in a hurry was that he planned to gather the elite Han army in Julu County, then launch another attack to settle the situation in Ji Province and even the whole country in one battle.

If the combined forces of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, numbering around 50,000, were eliminated, the Han Empire would lose most of its elite field troops.

"can."

Huang Tian nodded, approving of Zhang Jiao's military action.

Having received permission, Zhang Jiao quietly left the house.

Huang Tian then entered a state of deep concentration, and a single thought flew up, traversing the vast void to return to the Blue Star.

Inside the apartment.

Huang Tian opened his eyes and looked at the familiar modern facilities, feeling as if he had been transported to another world.

He rubbed his face, got up, took an apple from the bag on the table, washed it, and stood by the window, watching the pedestrians and vehicles passing by on the street as he ate it with gusto.

After eating, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

He returned to the bedside, plopped down on the bed, and took out his phone to search for information such as "the evolution of agricultural tools" and "the history of industrial development".

Indeed, he planned to improve productivity at the end of the Han Dynasty by improving agricultural tools and developing basic industries. Although magic itself was an advanced form of productivity, he was in no hurry to teach magic to the world. Even if he did teach it, he would only pass it on to trusted disciples.

The number of people is too small, and the practice is too time-consuming, so it is far less effective than promoting technological progress to improve productivity.

Huang Tian read through the documents one by one, remembering everything he read and memorizing the information firmly in his mind.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

Half a month had passed in the late Han Dynasty world, and Huang Tian was not worried about the other body starving to death.

He had already conducted experiments and found that even if his main consciousness was absent, the other body could still execute simple commands such as eating, drinking, defecating, and absorbing spiritual energy.

Putting down his phone, Huang Tian sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and his consciousness returned.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw an antique-style bed, table, chests and cabinets, and bronze oil lamps.

Huang Tian got up from his seat, pushed open the door, and bright light shone on him.

"Your Majesty!" Several beautiful maids at the door immediately knelt down and bowed.

These women came from a powerful family in Guangzong. They were beautiful and, after Guangzong was captured by Zhang Jiao, they were unable to escape and were captured by the Yellow Turban Army and offered to Zhang Jiao and his men.

Zhang Jiao was not a lecherous man to begin with, and due to repeated defeats and exhaustion, he fell ill. He had no interest in women, but kept them in his mansion to do chores. When the Yellow Emperor descended to this world, Zhang Jiao sent them to serve him.

"Get up," Huang Tian ordered. "Send someone to summon Zhang Jiao."

"promise."

The women responded softly, and one of them walked out towards the place where Zhang Jiao handled government affairs.

Huang Tian left the door open and walked leisurely through the courtyard. The courtyard was filled with flowers and trees, exuding fragrance, and there was also a pond where red carp were leaping, creating a lively scene.

Before long, Zhang Jiao hurried over and knelt down beside Huang Tian.

Huang Tian raised his hand and said, "No need for formalities. I have summoned you here today because I have something to discuss with you. But before that, please tell me about the war first."

Zhang Jiao followed behind Huang Tian and said in detail, "Half a month ago, Zhang Liang led his army on an expedition and has now captured Quzhou, Guangping, Renxian, Nanhe, Julu and other counties. The government troops fled at the first sign of trouble and offered almost no resistance. Now our army should quickly reach Xiaquyang and join up with Zhang Bao's troops."

The annihilation of Lu Zhi's 20,000-strong army terrified the officials of Julu County. Faced with the overwhelming Yellow Turban Army, they had no intention of resisting.

Either surrender or flee.

Without a single battle, Zhang Liang had almost taken over the entire Julu County.

Zhang Jiao continued, "The Han army has also made moves. According to scouts, a large number of Han troops have appeared in Ye City, Lieren and other places, carrying banners with the characters Dong and Cao. It should be Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao leading their troops. There is also news that Huangfu Song defeated Bu Si of Dongjun in Yanzhou and has basically pacified Yanzhou. He is now on the orders of the Han Emperor to move to Jizhou to join forces with Dong and Cao."

Huang Tian asked, "Where is Zhu Jun?"

Zhang Jiao replied, "I heard that Zhu Jun is still besieging Wancheng, and the battle is fierce, so I cannot get away."

"What a pity," Huang Tian said.

Zhang Jiao nodded, a look of regret on his face.

If Liu Hong makes a foolish move and transfers Zhu Jun from Wancheng to Jizhou, the Yellow Turbans in Wancheng will be saved from certain death, and Guangzong will be able to eliminate Zhu Jun's more than 20,000 elite Han troops in one battle.

However, Liu Hong still had some sense. He insisted on eliminating the Yellow Turbans in Wancheng first and completely quelling the Yellow Turban rebellions in all parts of the country except Jizhou.

"When Huangfu Song arrives with his army, let them attack us, or we can go to Lieren and Yecheng to attack them."

Huang Tian paced back and forth, hands behind his back. "Now that we've finished discussing the war, it's time to tell you what I want to talk about."

Zhang Jiao listened attentively.

"I intend to establish the Yellow Heaven Dao Court to govern the world. The Dao Court will be divided into three academies: the Political Academy, the Scientific Academy, and the Dao Academy."

The Executive Yuan, like a court of officials, is responsible for handling government affairs.

The Academy of Sciences studies instruments and the principles behind them.

Taoist academies are places where practitioners cultivate magical arts and lead all cultivators in the world.

The Lord of the Daoist Court is named the Great Sage and Good Teacher, and you are the first Lord of the Daoist Court.

Zhang Jiao was flattered and hurriedly said, "With Master here, how can I be the head of the Dao Court? Please consider this carefully, Master."

Huang Tian said indifferently, "My body is formed from spiritual thoughts. Once I have succeeded in breaking through the tribulation and spreading the Dao, I will ascend and leave. What do worldly riches and honors mean to me?"

Since things had come to this point, Zhang Jiao had no choice but to accept the position of Grand Master of the Daoist Court. After thinking for a moment, he asked:

"Master, I understand the meaning of the Political Academy and the Dao Academy, but how should the Academy of Sciences operate?"

"Do you know about Mozi's mechanical arts?"

"know."

"Similarly, science means to differentiate and classify. The Academy of Sciences is to classify the techniques of instruments into principles, and then use these principles to guide the production and improvement of instruments."

Huang Tian said, "If we develop for several hundred years, we might be able to achieve the scene I saw in one of my worlds."

Iron birds soar in the sky, their wingspan reaching a thousand feet. They do not rely on the wind to soar into the vast sky, their bellies large enough to hold a hundred guests. They depart from Cangwu in the morning and arrive at the North Sea in the evening.

There is also a four-wheeled chariot that does not eat grass or millet but can travel at breakneck speed. Ordinary people can ride in it and travel a thousand miles a day without showing any signs of fatigue. Inside, there is a clever mechanism that can regulate the temperature, so that even in the hottest days of summer, it can bring the coolness of autumn.

"Beyond the heavens hangs a golden mirror, patrolling the nine heavens, observing the smallest details of mountains and rivers. News from a thousand miles away can be transmitted in an instant, and images of the vast wilderness can appear before one's eyes..."

Zhang Jiao held his breath upon hearing this.

Iron birds that carry people soaring through the heavens, four-horse chariots that travel a thousand miles a day, and celestial mirrors that offer insight into the world…

Everything filled Zhang Jiao with longing and yearning. "Such power is not far from that of immortals and gods, is it?"

Huang Tian smiled. Blue Star's technology is indeed advanced, but to say it rivals that of gods is just an exaggeration.

"Now that Ji Province is not yet settled and the world is in turmoil, we will first establish a government academy and a science academy. The government academy will be under your jurisdiction as usual, while the science academy will recruit some literate people. If any sons of powerful families are willing to join, they can also be accepted. At that time, I will pass on the principles of science."

The teachings of the Taoist academies established thereafter could not be lightly transmitted; only those who had performed great deeds, possessed great perseverance, and had extraordinary comprehension were allowed to enter.
