Emperor Zhaoyong valued agriculture. Ever since he ascended the throne, he had promoted the green manure and the fertilization method throughout the country, causing the production of crops to increase greatly. The assessment of farmland also caused the population of the Great Zhao to increase greatly.

In August of the second year of the Great Zhao Dynasty, Emperor Zhaoyong personally conquered the Southern Barbarians and scattered more than ten clans. Then, he sent a 100,000-strong army to guard the Southern Barbarians. It was strange and unpredictable. The Southern Barbarians, which the Great Zhou was still afraid of, now belonged to the Great Zhao and bowed down to it.
