The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is not only the continuation of the separatist regime in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, but also the transitional period of China's rule from chaos. Due to the melee between the army and the army in the late Tang Dynasty, the fields were barren, the water conservancy was in disrepair and the people were displaced. In some places, there has even been a painful situation in which "the people are miserable and the wild is full of thorns" and "the hungry people kill each other and have no food to eat". For more than 30 years from Hou Liang to the later Han Dynasty, due to the cruelty of the ruling class, the social economy did not recover, but increased the tax corvee and put the people in dire straits. Guo Wei, the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty, was born in poverty and knew well the sufferings of the people. After he proclaimed himself emperor, he was able to follow the "back-to-back" road of Korea and Japan, live frugally, love talents and help the world, and use talents such as Fan Ju and wang pu to practice "the skill of benefiting the country and the people". In addition, Guo Wei still has the heart to get rid of the disadvantages. During his reign, he rectified the bureaucracy, rewarded farming and promoted the development of productive forces. After Guo Wei's death, Chai Rong acceded to the throne, namely Zhou Shizong. During the five or six years since he proclaimed himself emperor, Chai Rong responded to the people's needs and criticized the shortcomings of the times, and implemented a series of reforms in politics, economy, military affairs, ideology and culture. First, stabilize society, resume production, and lay a material foundation for national reunification. At the beginning of the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Han Dynasty colluded with the Qidan nobles to invade the south continuously. Coupled with the flooding of the Yellow River, frequent natural disasters and people's displacement. At that time, the society was in turmoil, the fields were barren and the people were displaced. Zhou Shizong adhered to the principle of "people-oriented" in its economic policy. At first, it solved the problem of resettling refugees, encouraged people to reclaim wasteland, and lured fleeing families back to their hometown to cultivate crops. He repeatedly stressed that he should be "thicker than farming and mulberry, and clever at cunning". The husband of You Litian, the last generation who was forbidden to travel, "redeemed a large number of refugees and returned their agricultural acres to increase national income." Then, Zhou Shizong reduced taxes, lightened the burden of ordinary people, kept them warm, and put more energy into agricultural production. "Think about the worries of crops, stop being unreasonable and get rid of nameless invasion and consumption." He attached great importance to disaster relief and appeasement, especially agricultural production. He often visits farmland or imperial village personally to check the planting situation of crops, and personally makes plans for reclaiming farmland, formulates tax implementation plans for counties and cities in Henan Province, issues maps of land equalization system, and sends officials to various places to set land rent and verify cultivated land. In addition, Zhou Shizong has also built water conservancy projects to ensure the smooth progress of farmland irrigation and water conservancy transportation. Second, strengthening military and political forces has created a stable premise for national reunification. The success of economic reform depends on the guarantee of political reform. While devoting itself to economic reform, Zhou Shizong has carried out a series of political reforms, such as defining official management and strictly rewarding and punishing bribes. To a great extent, this has ensured a clear reform environment and enabled the smooth implementation of economic reform. In addition, Zhou Shizong also had a chastity effect. He spoke publicly, encouraged courtiers to speak out and protest, and always reflected on himself. He also ordered people to compile "It is not easy to make peace with the monarch and ministers" and adopted many suggestions.
