Actually, if one were to pay attention to it, it wouldn't be hard to discover that after every price drop, they would have a large number of Frost Iron. Naturally, after going through it multiple times, they wouldn't be able to last much longer.

"Trash!" The Great Zhou Emperor roared as he flipped the dragon case in front of him. His face was filled with rage.

Now that Great Zhou relied on selling weapons to recover the country's finances, now that the Frost Iron was gone, not to mention that this plan had failed, even the smithing workshops would have to shut down.

The Weapon Workshop was the main body of the many workshops in the Zhou Empire, accounting for more than half of the total. As long as they stopped working, not only would their hard work be in vain, even the funds invested into the treasury would have gone down the drain.

"Damn it!" The Great Zhou Emperor was unable to calm down for a long time. It wasn't that his ability to deal was weak, but that his country's roots had been shaken. It was almost impossible for him to regain them.

The ministers were silent below, afraid that the Emperor's anger would affect them.

Just then, the messenger's voice came from outside, "Reporting..." Emergency military situation! "

Everyone in the hall was shocked as they had a bad idea.

The messenger didn't even need to inform His Majesty, he immediately knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Da Yu is split into three armies, and they will approach the Zhou Empire today. Judging from the speed of their march, they will arrive in three days' time."

The Great Zhou officials all sucked in a breath of cold air. The Da Yu selection for the army at this time was clearly planned beforehand, since the Great Zhou Empire had no way of supporting the war of attrition with their remaining spirit stones.

Now that there was such a big problem with the Frost Iron, the domestic economy was in a panic again. There might be a rebellion, so it would be strange if they had a chance of winning.

"What a great Great Yu Dynasty, what a great Jun Tianxia!" The Great Zhou Emperor gritted his teeth as he spoke.

The officials also looked at each other in dismay. They couldn't come up with an idea. It wasn't that they had bad brains, but that the situation was too tricky. They had never encountered such a situation before.

The Great Zhou Emperor could not think of a better solution, so he finally gave the order to calm the people, saying that he would harvest the cold iron ore as soon as possible, and in a while, there would be a new cold iron to use.

After that, they had Marshal Zhou lead the troops to the front lines to take charge of the overall situation. Their strategy was to not take the initiative to attack, and only defend and delay the time.

Two days later, the Great Zhou, which had just seen hope, once again fell into a depression. The armory was closed, and refiners, craftsmen, and a large portion of the population had nothing to do, so there was no source of income.

The closure of the training workshops led directly to the closing of the arms merchants' shops. As a result, the purchasing power of the citizens was reduced, and the shops in other areas also suffered a great blow.

Those shops that could sell their goods to the Immortal City were all big merchants, with a lot of resources and lines of business in their hands. Even if the entire country's economy was in a bad state, it would not be able to cause any major impact on them.

However, these people represented an individual phenomenon. The entire Zhou Dynasty's economy had completely collapsed this time. Moreover, without the addition of the cold iron ore, it would take at least a year and a half to recover.

The people lived as long as a year, and there was no hope in this situation.

But just at this time, something that made them collapse happened, that was the Da Yu sending out an army of 8 million, and now that they were at the gates of the city, the citizens were in even greater despair.

Jun Tianxia did not personally send out the troops, but only sent the three generals.

After all, no one knew whether or not they would be able to relax and attack using their Da Yu.

At this moment, the inside and outside of the Great Zhou was enveloped in a tense atmosphere, until it completely erupted five days later.

The reason was that the son of a big businessman had taken the daughter of a poor family by bullying others. The father of this family had been beaten to death in the end. This caused a huge uproar among the people.

On that day, the citizens of the city had united spontaneously, annihilating the merchant's house and taking away all the valuable items. Many people felt that there was no need to worry about a year's worth of food.

Even after arriving, the officials didn't dare to arouse the anger of the people. They only punished them a little before letting them go. They just took back the spirit stones and valuable items that they stole.

They felt that this was a combination of grace and power, but in reality, when they chose to condone it, the Great Zhou had already embarked on that path of destruction.

This incident quickly spread throughout the entire Zhou Dynasty. It was like giving these poor and repressed citizens a wake-up call. Why would those big merchants live a comfortable life in this crisis? Not only did they have nothing, most of them still owed those people money.

The more they thought about it, the more unfair it felt. When anger and greed had accumulated to a certain extent, people began to rise up one after another in the Zhou Dynasty. First they killed the local rich, then they attacked the government, snatching away all the resources in the country.

Following that, the number of such uprisings increased, and the imperial government had no choice but to dispatch troops to suppress them. However, the more they fought, the more conflicts became between the imperial government and the people.2

And at this time, more than half of the Great Zhou Empire's forces were defending against Da Yu. There were not many soldiers that could be deployed to suppress them, so these rebel soldiers slowly became more powerful.

In front of the Great Zhou Emperor, there seemed to be only two options left. One was to die in the hands of the rebel army, and the other was to die in the hands of.

In short, the situation was out of control.

If a soldier wanted money or no money, and had no people's hearts or hearts, even soldiers would have to think twice about whether or not their relatives would join the rebellion, whether or not there would be danger, and whether or not they would have to fight. How could he fight against a nation like this with Da Yu?

The person in charge of the Da Yu had already changed from Hua Ruge to Jun Tianxia, and Hua Ruge would occasionally go to the imperial study to ask about the situation.

"Was it really you who arranged the robbery of the merchant's son?" Hua Ruge asked.

"I was going to arrange it, but it turned out to be ready-made." Jun Tianxia replied.

Hua Ruge nodded.

"I will be able to take over the Zhou Dynasty in less than two months." Jun Tianxia looked at her and asked: "I have a condition for you, if you want anything, you can tell me at any time."

Hua Ruge thought for a moment, then said: "Then it's like this, I plan to open my Weapons Pavilion, at that time I'll work together with you, you can give me the lowest price, and guarantee that I won't provide it to anyone else."

After occupying the Zhou Empire, they would have the technology to refine weapons in the Zhou Empire. It had to be said that the weapons in the Zhou Empire were very popular in the region.

"Sure." Jun Tianxia agreed immediately.

Hua Ruge leaned back in his chair lightly and said: "Since you have settled this matter here, I will return. My business empire is still waiting for me to develop."

"Aren't you waiting for victory?" Jun Tianxia asked.
