Genesis: posts not showing on page that uses custom page template

Please post the URL of the page with the problem. Next, please post the page template file on postie.org and paste the link here.

Here’s the page template:

<?php

//* Template Name: People

genesis();

?>

Here’s what a page using that template looks like: https://s1.postimg.org/o7sqwwrjz/Screen_Shot_2015_08_28_at_14_40_15.png

Here’s my functions.php:

<?php
// This will bring in the Genesis Parent files needed:
require_once( TEMPLATEPATH . '/lib/init.php' );

// Setup Child Theme
define( 'Child_Theme_Name', __( 'Shell Global', 'shellglobal' ) );
define( 'Child_Theme_Url', 'localhost' );
define( 'Child_Theme_Version', '1.0' );

// Add HTML5 markup structure from parent Genesis framework
add_theme_support( 'html5' );

// Add HTML5 responsive recognition from parent Genesis framework
add_theme_support( 'genesis-responsive-viewport' );

// Include jQuery script when building pages
if (!is_admin()) add_action("wp_enqueue_scripts", "my_jquery_enqueue", 1);
function my_jquery_enqueue() {
   wp_deregister_script('jquery');
   wp_register_script('jquery', "http" . ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443 ? "s" : "") . "://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js", false, null);
   wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
}

// This will bring the CSS across from parent Genesis theme:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_child_theme_scripts', 2 );
function my_child_theme_scripts() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-theme-css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_script( 'global-js', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/global.js');
    if (is_page_template( 'login-page.php' )) {
       wp_enqueue_style( 'custom-login-css', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/custom-login.css');
       wp_enqueue_script( 'custom-login-js', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/custom-login.js');
   }
}

// Remove the wp-admin bar at top of browser when logged in for everyone on all pages
show_admin_bar(false);

// Remove the Genesis site header on all pages
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_header_markup_open', 5 );
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_do_header' );
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_header_markup_close', 15 );

// Remove the Genesis site Footer on all pages
remove_action('genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer');
remove_action('genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_markup_open', 5);
remove_action('genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_markup_close', 15);

/*
The below restricts access to the WordPress Admin Area to
 only users who we want to be there. When logging to wp-login.php this
 code will check if the user is an administrator and if they are not WordPress
 will redirect them back to the website home page. */
function restrict_admin()
{
  if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) && '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' != $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ) {
                wp_redirect( site_url() );
  }
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'restrict_admin', 1 );

?>

I guess I just don’t understand what I need to write in a new page template in order for posts to be called and displayed on the page. I don’t know if it’s the same for Genesis as it is for vanilla WP?

Update:
I have found that the following in the template.php file brings posts to the page.

<?php
  /**
   * @author  Ben Clark
   * @link    https://www.clarkben.com
   */

  //* Template Name: People

  $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

  query_posts(array('posts_per_page' => 5, 'paged'=>$paged,));

  genesis();

  ?>

Now I’m trying to work out how this can be customised.
