The subsequent development was unexpected, and Li Sanniang sent a decree to let Liu Zan return to Kaifeng and ascend the throne. But at this time, Liu Chong had fled back to Hedong, but Liu Zan was stuck in Tongguan. After receiving Yi's order, Liu Zan immediately led his troops back to Kaifeng. was controlled by Guo Wei's people halfway.

Guo Wei was in power in Kaifeng for half a month, and he never received a reply, and he ascended the throne and became the emperor in the name of the country not being left without an owner for a day, and the country was called Da Zhou.

As for Liu Chengyou and Liu Zan, they have not seen anyone alive or dead, and no one knows where they went.

After Guo Wei became emperor, he immediately began to govern the country and carry out reforms to strengthen the national strength. He has experienced a lot of hardships since he was a child, and he also has personal experience of the people's suffering, so he first lightened the burden of the people. These speeds are all expected by everyone, because Guo Wei's character is like this, and the first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to reduce taxes.

Guo Wei mainly promulgated two holy decrees, one was to abolish unreasonable cattle rents, and the other was to abolish camp and field affairs.

In the early years when Zhu Wen conquered Huainan, Zhu Wen gave the captured tens of thousands of ploughing cattle to the people, and then collected cattle rent from the people, and decades later, when the Zhou Dynasty was still collecting, the cattle of that year had already died. Guo Wei ordered the abolition of this tax, which was outdated and burdensome to the people.

As for the field management, it was an agricultural production institution set up in the Central Plains after the end of the Tang Dynasty and under the direct management of the household department, and the peasants under it were very burdened.

After Guo Wei abolished the field affairs, he gave them the fields, houses, cattle and other agricultural tools used by the people in perpetuity. This measure, together with the abolition of cattle rents, greatly reduced the burden on the peasants and promoted the development of production.

Some people suggested that if some good camps were sold, they could get hundreds of thousands of silver to enrich the treasury, but Guo Wei said: "Let the people benefit, just like the country benefits, what do I want this money for?"

In addition, he also issued an edict ordering officials in various localities not to increase taxes on the people under any pretext, and to abolish all miscellaneous taxes other than regular taxes, which had been prevalent.

Guo Wei also issued an edict to alleviate the cruelty of the Han Dynasty, such as the Han Dynasty's stipulation that those who steal a penny must also be executed, and those who are not serious crimes are often related to relatives, and the Great Zhou stipulates that serious crimes such as rebellion and killing relatives are no longer related to relatives.

During the Han Dynasty, the state monopolized the sale of liquor and koji, and all those who bought and sold it privately were punished to death, but the Great Zhou Dynasty greatly reduced the punishment and made specific provisions: one or two to one catty of cane was punished with eighty strokes, one catty to five catties were sentenced to three years in prison, and those above five catties were executed.

In addition, in the Han Dynasty, it was forbidden for the private to collect and trade cowhides, and those who bought and sold an inch without permission would be executed, and the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulated that only forty hectares of land would collect a cowhide in kind, and the rest of the people could buy and sell at will. Guo Wei understands that there are many places where cowhide is used by the people, so for the sake of the people's lives, there is this regulation

In addition to reforming and benefiting the people, Guo Wei also paid great attention to frugality and reduced the burden of the people as much as possible. He lived an unusually frugal life, was very frugal in food, clothing, housing and transportation, and issued an edict prohibiting the entry of delicacies and local local products from all over the country, not to mention treasures.

He said to the ministers: "I came from a humble background, tasted all the hardships of the world, and experienced the disasters of the country and the family, and now that I am the emperor, how can I pamper and drag down the people of the world!"

Not only did he not allow the treasures to enter the palace, but he also asked dozens of jewels and gems in the palace, luxurious beds and stools decorated with gold and silver, and eating utensils made of gold and silver to be smashed in public on the palace and in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

"No wonder Liu Chengyou is going to destroy the country, how can the people who are the emperor use these things?" Then he asked people to put away the things that were smashed and valuable, and used them to fill the treasury. Anyway, if something made of gold and silver is smashed, it will not affect its value.

Guo Wei did this just to tell the world that he advocated frugality, of course, Guo Wei can do what he says, but others may not.

Guo Wei established Yang Shu as the queen, and the woman surnamed Dong he just met was his concubine. Chai Rong was named the king of Jin, the master of the school, Guo Xinfeng was the king of Qi, and Guo Dong was posthumously named the king of Yan.

Le'an posthumously crowned the eldest princess of the Ying Kingdom, Shou'an was named the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and Ning An was named the eldest princess of the Liang Kingdom.

In addition, Chai Rong married Fu Xuanyi, the eldest daughter of Fu Yanqing, King of Wei, as a concubine. After Guo Wei ascended the throne, the whole world was jubilant, Guo Wei loved the people like a son, removed a lot of inequalities, and the peasants all had land, no longer had to worry about excessive taxes, and had high expectations for Guo Wei, the new emperor.

But Guo Wei only did not canonize Zongxin, which is also Zongxin's requirement. Originally, Guo Wei wanted to make Zongxin the great mage of the protector of the country, but Zongxin did not want to have any status in the court, which would lower his existence value. It's best to be a loose person like this, but to be known all over the world. What's more, Zong Xin is not short of money at all, and the little money Guo Wei gave is not even enough to eat, so Zong Xin has to post it upside down......

Zong Xin didn't dare to say anything to Guo Wei about this matter, otherwise many people would be implicated, and she was the queen Yang Shu, although she did this for Guo Wei's good, but if Guo Wei knew that this matter was Yang Shu's head, she would definitely be demoted to a commoner, or she would be put in the cold palace.

After all, the Guo family owes Zongxin too much, and it can't be finished at all. Guo Wei hated himself for not giving birth to more daughters, and he didn't think it was enough to give all his daughters to Zong Xin. How can you still have the face to ask Zongxin for money? And it is 20% of Yandao's income, which is an astronomical amount.

Zhao Valve is rich and rivals the country, and he almost tore his face with Lei Hong for the sake of Yandao Yicheng's income, and in the end, it was Zhao Jing's shameless hardness that let Lei Hong temporarily store Zhao Kuangyin's Yicheng income in Zhao Valve. However, this temporary storage can never be taken back, even if Zhao Kuangyin goes home in person, don't want to take out a point.

Bai Yuntian's income made him the richest man in the Tang Dynasty immediately, the salt merchant was originally the most profitable to buy any jewelry and jade, and the profit was higher, Bai Yuntian almost didn't need to pay the capital, just some simple processing, and immediately resell it. Because the export volume is large and extremely fast, it is often the case that the money is counted to the point of softness.

Baiyunzhuang has also become the largest village in the world, almost comparable to the four major valves, and slowly formed the original appearance of the valve, and began to recruit troops. Originally, there were only a few hundred people in Baiyunzhuang, but now the power of Baiyunzhuang has reached an unprecedented 10,000 people, and the power continues to develop, even the surname Li does not dare to provoke easily.

Gu Guozhang's sphere of influence immediately expanded because of Yandao Yicheng's income, and he was originally the number one dart game in the world, but now his momentum is even more invincible. If it's not a salt dart, no one dares to rob any dart. There are so many people under him that he is one of the best people in Datang.

Lei Hong also asked Gu Guozhang to open up the Dali trade road, although the first trip was very difficult, but as long as the trade route was opened, the future income will be more, and the road will be easier and better.

Li Jing used 20% of the proceeds of Yandao to attack the state of Chu, and with strong economic support, Li Jing did not have to worry about the back road. However, the resistance of the state of Chu was still very fierce, and it was impossible to break through the attack in a short time, but Li Jing had almost seen himself sitting on the throne of the king of Chu, and this battle was not in vain.

Lei Hong sits and counts the money every day, in addition to talking and laughing with his eldest son Lei Tianxiao, he hopes that his daughter Lei Fang will give birth to her grandson soon. After Guo Wei ascended the throne, Lei Hong rarely left Lei Wang's Mansion, and now in Lei Hong's opinion, the family is very good, because his eldest son is willing to go home, and the second son Lei Tianxin also knows how to be motivated, which is the happiest thing for Lei Hong.

Not only are they thanking Zongxin, but the people of Dazhou are also thanking Zongxin, the legend of Zongxin is no stranger to anyone, if it weren't for Master Zongxin saving Guo Wei's family several times, Guo Wei would not be able to become the emperor, if Guo Wei is not the emperor, the people's life will be as bitter as before, and now it can be said that the land has changed. Not only Da Zhou, but the whole world is very happy.

The taxes of the Tang Dynasty have also been reduced accordingly, the people of Shu have always been happy, and the Great Zhou is even more jubilant, and even the people of Dali are praying for this enlightened monk.

Although Zongxin has not been to Dali, but the trade of salt island has entered Dali, Dali is most lacking is salt, used to need a very high price to buy well salt in Shu, the output of well salt is low, the price is extremely high, the people of Dali are about to afford to eat salt.

Because of Zongxin's intervention, the price of salt was immediately depressed, and even Emperor Duan Sicong of Dali was very grateful, and he also admired this eminent monk very much. Dali Duan's family originally advocated Buddhism, and of course treated the monks with courtesy, not to mention that Duan Sicong saw with his own eyes that Zongxin martial arts Buddhism was the first in the world.

That day, Zongxin just glanced at Duan Sicong and said that he became the emperor this year, and after returning to Dali, the first emperor Duan Siliang's illness worsened, and he passed the throne to Duan Sicong. Even Duan Sicong himself didn't expect this, he originally thought that the first emperor would pass the throne to others, but he didn't expect it to be passed on to himself.

What Duan Sicong admired the most was of course Zongxin's ability to predict the prophet, but in addition, Zongxin's martial arts also made Duan Sicong's eyes shine, and the Dali Duan clan's Heavenly Sword Divine Technique was defeated in his hands. Although Duan Sicong endured everywhere, the last move was at most a lose-lose situation.

Duan Sicong's age is much higher than that of Zong Xin, and he naturally takes a lot of advantage in terms of internal cultivation. If the two are the same age...... He was killed by Zong Xin a long time ago. Moreover, Zong Xin was able to control the most powerful Gu poison in the world, the Golden Silkworm Gu, so that the Golden Silkworm Gu did not obey the orders of the Golden Gu King, but obeyed the orders of the host itself, which was originally a miracle.

The whole world was jubilant, but the Khitan was full of swords, and the wolf smoke was billowing out. After Zongxin designed to force Yelu Deguang to death, several princes fought for the throne, and at first they just moved their mouths, but after they couldn't move their mouths, they turned to hands, and finally the vassal kings were divided, and every prince had someone to support, and the entire Khitan was torn apart and fought inextricably.

Now the Khitan has the highest status and the strongest military strength is the iron-armed Empress Xiao. Now she is still the queen, as long as there is a new emperor on the throne, she will be the queen mother. Empress Xiao's father is Xiao Siwen, the prime minister of Beifu, and her mother is the eldest princess, so she has the strongest military strength and the highest status, and the entire Khitan looks at Empress Xiao's attitude, but Empress Xiao has always indicated which son she supports to ascend the throne, which also makes several princes fight each other.
