In March of the seventh year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in an imperial village outside Kaifeng, Xu Guangqi and Qu Songsheng were leading the farmers to sow wheat and plant upland rice.

After Guo Zongxun ascended the throne, he used half a year to recover a lot of land from Daomen, and then recovered a lot of land from his relatives.

In response to the land of the Great Zhou, Guo Zongxun formulated a series of regulations restricting the sale and purchase of land.

Most of the land that has been recovered and is being gradually recovered by Guo Zongxun is handed over to the elders of the Great Zhou royal family and relatives to manage, and the land belongs to the Great Zhou Emperor, and they all work for the emperor.

These relatives of the royal family complained at first, and when the emperor handed over the imperial village to them, there were always those who could be counted to come to the account, and after calculating it, they were overjoyed.

The Emperor's Imperial Estates were more than ten times more than the so-called private land they originally owned, and those who could calculate the accounts knew that even if they could only take one percent of the harvest, it would be more than they had originally earned.

Of course, the Great Zhou Emperor earned more.

The imperial family and relatives are all attached to the emperor, and when these people do not have the conditions for rebellion, they can at least ensure that they will try their best to protect the Great Zhou Emperor.

In fact, this is also to maintain their own glory and wealth.

As for whether there will be corruption and exploitation, Guo Zongxun is useless to worry, there are many people who are greedy for money in this world, if you catch it, you will be dealt with according to the law, and if you can't catch it, you will be lucky for the time being, that's all.

From these imperial villages, Guo Zongxun deliberately set aside a part and handed it over to the department in charge of Xu Guangqi.

"Lord Xu, Xiaguan asked to live in Huangzhuang during this time, the growth and cultivation of wheat seedlings and rice seedlings must be carefully cared for, Xiaguan has a lot of experience in this regard, so he ......"

Qu Songsheng was originally just a small steward in the imperial village, but he was suddenly promoted by Guo Zongxun to be the head of the Great Zhou Department and in charge of the Department of Agriculture, which can be regarded as a success.

But Guo Zongxun also warned Qu Songsheng that the reason why I vigorously promoted you is that I value your talent in the selection and breeding of wheat seeds and rice seeds, you don't want to forget your duty when you become a high-ranking official, at any time, what I need is a capable person, what ability you Qu Songsheng has, whether this ability allows you to keep your high-ranking officials, everything depends on yourself.

Let's not talk about whether Qu Songsheng has any noble sentiments, even if it is to keep the hard-won glory, he must deeply root his two legs in the cultivated land of the Great Zhou, and do his best to cultivate excellent wheat and rice seeds that can produce high yields.

"Qu Zhushi, even if it is so hard for you, Your Majesty said, food is the foundation of people's livelihood, is the foundation of a hundred years of planning and a thousand years, this official will send a large number of people to follow Qu Zhushi to settle in Huangzhuang, Your Majesty asked this official to tell you, don't hide your secrets, you have to teach these people, even if these people have achievements in the future will surpass you, you Qu Songsheng, the father of agriculture in the Great Zhou Dynasty, is the title of no one can take away."

"The subordinate should keep in mind His Majesty's instructions, and he must do his best and dare not hide his secrets."

At the end of March, Yue Fei led 300,000 soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty to return to the court, and Guo Zongxun once again personally went out for thirty miles to welcome the return of the triumphant soldiers.

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty rewarded meritorious deeds, Yue Fei and Han Zhao were crowned county viscounts, and there was no food and no fiefdom, which was just an honor.

In the Taiyuan Military Region, Xiang Xun was in charge, and Guo Zongxun sent Han Lingkun over, and these two people could not only assist each other, but also supervise each other.

Therefore, Han Zhao was also recalled to Kaifeng.

In this campaign against the Northern Han Dynasty, two veterans stood out, Jing Yanfu and Jing Hanru brothers.

Before discussing meritorious deeds, Li Tongjie's Spiegel Division would sort out the information of the meritorious generals and send them to Guo Zongxun's desk.

Guo Zongxun originally didn't pay too much attention to Jing Yanfu and Jing Hanru, but just planned to reward meritorious deeds according to normal procedures.

But when Guo Zongxun saw that a name called Jing Si appeared in Jing Yanfu's information, Guo Zongxun couldn't help but sigh that it was gold that really wanted to shine, and the grandfather of the famous Song Dynasty general Jing Si was originally called Jing Yanfu.

At this time, Jing Hei was only twelve years old.

There is not much information about Jing Si, Guo Zongxun does not remember much, but he just saw it by chance when he read the history books before he crossed over, and he only knew that this person had gone through more than 150 large and small battles and had never been defeated, even if it was the most Yongxi Northern Expedition campaign fought by Zhao Kuangyi in history, in local battles, Jing Si was victorious and undefeated.

Such a talent, if you don't find it, it's just that, since you have found it, you naturally have to pay attention to it.

Therefore, Guo Zongxun specially issued an order to make Jing Yanfu and Jing Hanru brothers the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and issued an edict to send the twelve-year-old Jing Hei to Yang Ye's mansion and hand it over to Zhesaihua for cultivation.

"Yue Aiqing, Han Aiqing, the soldiers of the Hanzi Army have been on the march since March last year and returned triumphantly in March this year, and this year's non-stop bloody battle, it is time for the soldiers to take a rest."

"I will allocate all the land around Kaifeng City except for Huangzhuang to the Great Zhou Warrior Army, and those who are cultivated land will be planted with crops, and those who are wasteland will be reclaimed by me and planted crops, which is called military reclamation."

"The villages and people around Kaifeng still stay in place, farming with the soldiers of the Great Zhou Hanzi Army, and in the future, when the Hanzi Army goes out again, these people can help take care of the cultivated land."

"During the period of military reclamation, the soldiers of the Mighty Army are encouraged to start a family as soon as possible, and the meritorious soldiers can move their families to live in Kaifeng or Luoyang, and tell them that my Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles welcomes every retired meritorious soldier at any time."

"In the mountains thirty miles north of Kaifeng, open up the Great Zhou Martyrs Cemetery, where the bones of all the fallen soldiers are buried for future generations."

"I will not forget the old, weak and disabled who have not been able to accumulate enough military merits, and arrange them in the martyrs' cemetery to guard the graves of their former comrades-in-arms, and at the same time build houses and properly settle their lives."

"During the period of military reclamation, the military training of the Hanzi Army must not be slack, and in the fields, with a hoe, I must also give me the national prestige and military prestige of the Great Zhou."

"I will give you half a year to rest, and after the autumn harvest, my Hustro will go out again."

Yue Fei and Han Zhao bowed to Guo Zongxun and said:

"Your Majesty is wise and benevolent, the ministers and the soldiers under his command are all grateful, during the period of military reclamation, the ministers will definitely not waste military training, the Great Zhou Warrior Army, recruit it to fight, and win the battle."

Guo Zongxun used all the land around Kaifeng except for Kaihuangzhuang for military reclamation, mainly to ensure the safety of Kaifeng, but also to ensure his own safety.

All the soldiers who have been killed in blood on the battlefield, one is counted as one, no matter whether your military merits are enough or not, the Great Zhou Emperor will give you proper placement.

This was Guo Zongxun's most effective way to stabilize the Great Zhou Dynasty and consolidate the rule of imperial power.

Even Yue Fei and Han Zhao, Guo Zongxun sent them to farm.

"Tell the soldiers, cherish every inch of land you have laid down for the Great Zhou, these lands can support the people of the Great Zhou, and can also raise the Great Zhou soldiers like them......"
