Sitting on the throne as a woman did bring a lot of resistance to Artoria, but with the help of Zhou Xiaoning and Merlin, she finally survived.

And some restless guys were also secretly disposed of, during which Zhou Xiaoning also made a few moves, so his combat power fell again, and finally stayed at the level of the late sixth order.

This kind of combat power is definitely not weak, but it does not have the effect of absolute crushing. And thanks to Gaia and Alaye's two little loli, if Zhou Xiaoning can't solve the opponent as soon as possible in the battle, with the increase in the number of attacks, his combat power will continue to decline, if he doesn't pay attention, maybe he will really capsize in the gutter.

So later, Zhou Xiaoning didn't make a move, and stayed by Artoria's side with peace of mind, acting as a think tank.

Zhou Xiaoning asked himself if he was not a natural emperor, but he had enough capable people under him, and he naturally learned a lot of things, even if he let him manage Great Britain by himself, not to mention that he just gave Artoria ideas, it was not too easy.

There is a saying that the people regard food as the sky, and this sentence is applicable to any era and country, after all, they can't even feed their people, so how can they be expected to serve the king.

Therefore, after Zhou Xiaoning took office, the first thing he did was to take out a large number of high-quality seeds. These seeds are produced on simulated farms, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed, not only is it highly resistant to disasters, but also the yield is particularly large, and only half of the existing fields are needed to feed the people of Great Britain.

Moreover, in the previous beating process, Zhou Xiaoning, in the name of Artoria, received a lot of land and finances from the rebellious nobles. At this time, the land was measured and divided and contracted to the peasants. And publicly stated that as long as the peasants paid the agricultural taxes in full, the rest of the harvest income was their own.

Although the tax rate of agricultural tax is relatively high, and the basic mountain accounts for sixty percent of each farmer's harvest income, with the yield of those seeds provided by Zhou Xiaoning, as long as they are not lazy, forty percent of the income is enough to ensure their food and clothing, and there is still a small surplus. This is much better than working as a tenant farmer for the nobles before, working hard for a whole year, but barely supporting a family.

For a while, Artoria's popularity among the people soared, and at the same time, Zhou Xiaoning, a royal adviser, was famous, after all, this series of reforms and seeds came from his hands, which made those poor peasants not grateful. If this is in Huaxia, I'm afraid someone will set up an immortal card for him.

In fact, when this policy was first implemented, Zhou Xiaoning thought that some nobles with damaged interests would jump out to oppose it, but it turned out that he was thinking too much. Not to mention that the powerful forces of him, Merlin, and Artoria are there, but whoever cherishes his own life will not blatantly fight against them. Secondly, in the minds of those nobles, except for those of their class, everyone else is a pariah, and it is not worth their too much attention, not to mention that the land contracted by Artoria is not from them, so why should they bother with such idleness.

It is precisely because of this that most of the aristocracy resigned themselves to this policy, neither in favor nor in opposition. But as the lives of those free peasants became better and better, the tenant farmers under the aristocracy could not help but become active, and even many of them would rather go to the wasteland than work for those nobles. Although it will be a little hard and tiring at the beginning, with the support of a series of preferential policies prescribed by Zhou Xiaoning, as long as they survive the first few years, their lives will definitely get better.

Because of the departure of a large number of professional farmers, it was difficult for the nobles to find suitable people to help them take care of the fields, and it was naturally abandoned over time.

At this time, Zhou Xiaoning took advantage of the situation to reclaim the land at a very low price, and then resold it and contracted it to farmers. After his actions, almost ninety percent of the land in Great Britain was owned by the royal family, which greatly reduced the strength of the nobles, not to mention, but also firmly grasped the hearts of the people. Now, if those nobles want to do something, they don't need Zhou Xiaoning and them to take action, and the broad masses of the people can drown them with a mouthful of spit.

You must know that the eyes of the masses of the people are clear, they know who gave them the good life they have now, and who wants to destroy it, that is their enemy!

I'm afraid that those nobles didn't even dream that things would develop to this extent, otherwise, even if they risked offending Zhou Xiaoning and the others, they would have to cut off the sprouts at the very beginning. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, all they can do now is to put away those unrealistic ideas, and even a considerable number of nobles take the initiative to hug Artoria's thigh and start working for her.

I have to say that there are still many talents among the nobility, such as many knights of the Knights of the Round Table, who are from noble backgrounds.

Artoria wanted to see a prosperous Britain, so naturally she would not refuse the service of those nobles, and she even took this opportunity to reorganize the Knights of the Round Table.

Based on her knowledge of each knight, Artoria recruited her friends from her memories one by one, Lancelot, Gawain, Geraint, and Bedwell...... There are more than 90 people in total, although it has not reached the peak of more than 150 people, but so many excellent knights gathered together, it can be regarded as an unprecedented prosperity.

However, unlike the original history, this time there is one more Zhou Xiaoning in the Knights of the Round Table, and instead of Lancelot, who has the support of the first knight, he sits in the position closest to Artoria.

No one has any objection to this, although none of them have seen Zhou Xiaoning make a move, but the queen Artoria they support has publicly said that if there is a life and death fight, she is not Zhou Xiaoning's opponent. Her Majesty is a perfect knight who will never lie, so every knight of the round table will have respect for the strong when facing Zhou Xiaoning.

In terms of government affairs, the current prosperity of Great Britain is the best proof of Zhou Xiaoning's ability, and no one here dares to say that he can do better than Zhou Xiaoning.

In addition, the ambiguous relationship between Zhou Xiaoning and Artoria can be seen as long as they are not blind, but in order to save Artoria's face, no one talks about it publicly. However, in private, the gamble on when Zhou Xiaoning and Artoria were together has been going on for a long time, and it is said that the initiator is Artoria's brother-in-law, that is, the young man named "Kai".
