The fake daughter is also trying to exploit system loopholes today

"Fine iron."

"No problem," Emperor Xin agreed very readily, "There are several pieces of meteorite in the treasury. I will arrange for someone to send them to you right away."

Su Xiaomeng shook her head slightly: "How can a few pieces be enough? I need a huge amount of refined iron to transform the farm tools, armor, and weapons of the Shang Dynasty."

"But?" Emperor Xin looked troubled, "I have so much meteorite iron here."

Su Xiaomeng looked puzzled: "Why do we need meteorite iron? We can build a blast furnace and turn ordinary iron ore into refined iron."

"Blast furnace, what is that?" Emperor Xin asked, "A particularly tall furnace? How high should it be? Meteorites fall from the sky, do they have to be as high as the sky?"

"It doesn't have to be that high. A dozen meters is enough. Converted to today's units, it's about sixty ropes. How to build it specifically? I'm not sure either. You can ask Brother Jiamu."

Emperor Xin was very excited and walked quickly to Ye Jiamu. "Ye Jiamu, how long will it take to build the blast furnace? What does the blast furnace look like? How much refined iron can be produced every day?"

"Well," Ye Jiamu pondered for a moment, "With the current level of technology in the Shang Dynasty, we should only be able to build the most basic blast furnace, about ten meters high."

"As for output, blast furnace ironmaking can operate continuously without interruption, produce large quantities of molten iron, and can even directly cast pig iron."

The more Emperor Xin listened, the brighter his eyes became. He had been troubled by the North Sea countries for a long time.

You should know that most parts of the Shang Dynasty still used stone tools, and only a small part used bronze tools.

However, due to geographical reasons, the countries in the North Sea had already mastered more advanced bronze smelting technology.

Moreover, the North Sea countries have abundant grass and water, more developed animal husbandry, stronger war horses, and more powerful cavalry.

In recent years, the North Sea countries have relied on their strong military forces to raid the south many times, plundering people and food.

Emperor Xin had long wanted to take up arms and have a good fight with the countries in the North Sea to let them know the majesty of a superior country and make them never dare to go south to plunder again.

If he had enough refined iron, Emperor Xin would be able to expand his territory and annex the countries in the North Sea, turning them into pastures for the Shang Dynasty and training an invincible cavalry for the Shang Dynasty.

"Lord Ye, how long will it take to build this blast furnace? I am preparing to start an army and I need a large amount of weapons."

Ye Jiamu did a quick calculation: "If there are enough craftsmen, pig iron can be produced stably in three months."

"Okay, okay," Emperor Xin agreed hurriedly. He just raised his arm and was about to call for help when he suddenly remembered that Su Xiaomeng seemed to know the future situation. He secretly put down his raised arm and turned to look at Su Xiaomeng.

"Meng Meng, I'm going to go to the North Sea. Who do you think I should send to lead the army? Master Wen or Marquis Su Hu of Jizhou?"

In order to avoid attracting Tiandao's attention, Su Xiaomeng did not answer directly, but kicked the ball back.

"You ask me about this kind of national affairs, but I don't know. Why don't you go to the court and call all the ministers to discuss it?"

Immediately afterwards, Su Xiaomeng complained wildly in her heart.

[As for the Beihai, it doesn't matter who you send to lead the army. Do you think what you have seen is the full strength of the Beihai? Do you think you can crush them all by replacing them with iron weapons? That is pure wishful thinking.]

[The North Sea is not as simple as it seems. Strong soldiers and horses are just the surface. The most important thing is that there are many exiled monsters in the North Sea.]

[Although their strength has been suppressed by karma, it is enough to move all the elite troops of the Shang Dynasty to the North Sea front. ]

[Emperor Xin, the princes under your command are not vegetarians. When they find that Chaoge is short of troops and the pillar of the empire, Grand Tutor Wen, is not here, they will definitely find an excuse to raise the banner! ]

Emperor Xin was unwilling to admit that his idea would actually lead to the destruction of the Shang Dynasty. With his thoughts turning around, he continued to ask without revealing that he could hear Su Xiaomeng's thoughts.

"Meng Meng, I have asked all the princes to send hostages here. They should be very obedient now. After all, if they don't obey, I can always kill their sons as a chess piece."

"Kill them if you want," Su Xiaomeng said faintly, "They don't just have one child. If I remember correctly, King Wu of Zhou had ninety-nine sons. The death of one should not be a big deal for him."

Ye Jiamu followed suit and added, "Besides, my king, if you really do this, it will just give them a reason to send troops. It is only natural to avenge your son."

"If they are really so cruel, I can totally use their tricks against them," Emperor Xin rolled his eyes and thought of a crooked idea, "I will threaten their father with the lives of these hostages and let them see their father's cold-bloodedness."

"Then I will kill their father and let them inherit their father's land. In this way, I can deploy the military forces and wealth of all the vassal states at will."

This is the limitation of the times. At this time, the Shang Dynasty was still a slave society. Not to mention a more advanced social system, even the feudal monarchy had not appeared.

Even though Emperor Xin was not the tyrant who was wildly denigrated in history books, he only wanted to be the largest slave owner and make other slave owners listen to him. He never thought of taking over all the land.

Su Xiaomeng couldn't help but complain: "That's a good idea, but, my king, why don't you just send people over to take all those lands and make them your own territory?"

Emperor Xin's eyes suddenly lit up and his heart was moved.

"Meng Meng, your idea is great, but I don't have that many officials under my command, nor do I have the ability to directly manage such a faraway land!"

Su Xiaomeng was full of confidence: "This is easy. Develop agriculture, develop industry, promote education, and liberate productivity. In ten years at most, the entire country can be completely renewed."

Emperor Xin bowed to Su Xiaomeng for the first time: "Please teach me, sir!"

"I don't really understand these, you can ask Brother Jiamu," Su Xiaomeng answered honestly, "I am a greedy person, so I know how to make delicious food."

Emperor Xin did not hesitate, walked up to Ye Jiamu, and bowed deeply: "Please teach me, sir."

Ye Jiamu came here to change the fate of Da Shang, so he agreed without hesitation.

In this way, Ye Jiamu led the Shang Dynasty to start a vigorous scientific and technological revolution, including blast furnace ironmaking, papermaking, printing, and the Qin Straight Road...

Countless high-tech technologies are rapidly changing the lives of big businessmen.

Su Yu was not idle either. She discovered that as a nine-headed chicken spirit, she could communicate freely with pheasants and wild chickens, and even control them directly.

So, she decisively opened a chicken farm, prepared to help Da Shang completely domesticate the chicken as a poultry, and summarized a set of chicken-raising methods suitable for the current era.

How to cut off the tail feathers and long wing feathers of a pheasant without scissors, so that the pheasant can no longer fly and cannot escape from the chicken coop.

There is also a way to build a chicken coop that can shelter from wind and rain using only bamboo and dead wood without using nails, so as to prevent the chickens from getting sick due to being exposed to the rain.

And the most important thing is how to tame the hen and let her lay eggs in the chicken coop.

This not only provides a continuous source of protein, but also helps hatch new chicks, expand the flock and achieve sustainable development.

Compared to them, Su Xiaomeng was much more relaxed. She asked the palace servants to catch several rabbits. She took the seasonings purchased from the system mall and stayed in the kitchen, preparing to make a spicy rabbit head.

Suddenly, a eunuch came in and whispered.

"Lady Goddess, your father, Jizhou Marquis Su Hu, requests to see you."

"Ah!" Su Xiaomeng was a little confused.

Why did Su Hu come here suddenly? Although this body is indeed Su Daji's body, the core has changed.

What's more troublesome is that Su Xiaomeng doesn't know where the nine-tailed fox took Su Daji's soul. It can't be that she swallowed it as written in the Romance of the Gods.

When Su Xiaomeng traveled through time before, the original owner's soul had already disappeared, and she really considered this for a while.

or?

Su Xiaomeng frowned slightly and was about to find an excuse to trick Su Hu back when she heard Emperor Xin's hearty laughter.

Emperor Xin and Su Hu strode over, one in front and one behind.

When Su Hu saw Su Xiaomeng for the first time, his expression suddenly changed: "Who are you? Where is my daughter?"

"I am your daughter!" Su Xiaomeng explained while subconsciously turning her head to look behind her, thinking that she had accidentally let her tail out again.
