Looking at the information sent by Zhang Yasi, I realized that it was actually sent by the Imperial City Secretary through pigeon mail.
Gao Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up. This carrier pigeon delivered the message. After almost a year of hard work, it finally became famous.
This can be regarded as another excellent news, so next, they can try to use homing pigeons to communicate between ports and ships.
After all, in the past, once the ships went to sea, it was impossible to know their news.
But once there are homing pigeons, if a ship encounters danger at sea, it can deliver the message back to the home port in time.
After suppressing his divergent thoughts, Gao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief at the news from Yang Douzhi.
With these convenient operational conditions, Gao Zhang felt more and more that the future of the Japanese island must be bright.
Especially when a large number of scholars from the Song Dynasty went to Wadao to promote and teach Confucianism, Chinese characters, and promote the Mandarin of the Song Dynasty.
It will definitely have a huge impact on the original Japanese cultural system, and even completely subvert and reshuffle the political structure of the Japanese island.
The important thing is that they are completely different from the old nobles and ministers on the Japanese islands.
If they want to get promoted and make a fortune there, they can only rely on Fujiwara Tadai, the leader of Fujiwara Kingdom.
Their interests and demands will be completely tied to Fujiwara Tadai, and those Song people who were brought to Fujiwara Country will naturally stand on the same front as them.
This is equivalent to giving another social class to the Fujiwara Kingdom, which is a good thing for the Song Dynasty and for the future China.
Gao Zhang didn't know whether others thought it was good or not. Anyway, Gao Zhang thought it was very good.
In short, the island country that once had a good life was turned into a mess, and even the political system and social structure had gone astray. This was Gao Zhang's purpose.
#####
"I have decided. From today on, my surname will be Zhao and my given name will be Zhongsong."
Fujiwara Tadai said the most shameless words with a loyal and courageous expression on his face.
Fujiwara Ietaka on the side looked at the head of the Fujiwara Kingdom who has now become the head of the Fujiwara clan.
Unexpectedly, when this guy came to Da Song, his name and surname were completely changed.
Gao Zhang looked at Fujiwara Tadai blankly and couldn't help but wipe his face.
"Loyal Zhong, the Song Dynasty of the Song Dynasty?"
"Exactly, and only in this way can we express the generous gift of our country to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty."
Speaking of this, Fujiwara, ah no... Zhao Zhongsong turned his head and looked at Fujiwara Ietaka and Fujiwara Tadashi behind him.
"As for them, they will follow me and change their surname to Zhao. If there are any Fujiwara clan members who are unwilling to change their surname, I will let them return to their ancestral surname Nakaomi.
If there are still people who are not willing to do this, then I will make them become monks..."
Looking at the other party's solemn eyes, Fujiwara Ietaka bowed deeply to the other party without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to follow Your Majesty and change my surname to Zhao..."
After Fujiwara Tadamichi stared blankly at his uncle giving him a sample, he bowed to Zhao Zhongsong honestly.
"I am also willing to change my surname to Zhao."
Looking at this scene, Gao Zhang grinned. That's right. People on the Japanese island have always looked at the change of name very indifferently.
He often recognized his father and changed his surname, and he did it very well. Many so-called "famous ministers and good generals" of the Japanese country even changed their names as a common thing.
But, haha... That was in the past, let's see, when a large number of scholars from the Song Dynasty rushed to Fujiwara Country.
After controlling the public opinion and ideological discourse of Fujiwara Kingdom, things should be better by then, at least not as perverted as now.
The younger generation can adopt the elder as their adopted son. If they think it is beneficial, they will quickly send their son over to become a godfather.
When Gao Zhang thought of the messy things on the Japanese island, his eyes fell back on the leader of the Fujiwara Kingdom.
From this day on, he changed his name to Zhao Zhongsong. It doesn’t matter whether Zhao is Zhongsong or Zhongsong. As long as I am here, you can only be Zhongsong, and you will definitely not be Zhongsong. If you want to be Zhongsong, you can only be a Japanese.

In the mansion, Gao Zhang was currently playing leaf cards with Fu'an and Zhao Zhongtong.
This fun pastime is great for building friendships.
"Zhongtong..."
"My minister is here." Zhao Zhongtong quickly responded in a low voice.
"Have you adapted to eating meat during this time?"
Gao Zhang looked at Zhao Zhongtong's shriveled little body and asked curiously.
"Back to Duke Zhuangyuan, I have adapted a lot. Now I can eat at least half a tael of meat at every meal."
"...and don't forget the eggs, either."
"Look at your small body, you look like a child who is eight or nine years older than me. You look like you are suffering from malnutrition."
Gao Zhang couldn't help but shook his head. The reason why Zhao Zhongtong was so dry and thin had to be said to have a lot to do with the royal family of the Japanese Kingdom and their firm belief in Buddhism.
After all, if you believe in Buddhism, everyone will definitely be vegetarian, but the question is how could the Japanese royal family be just satisfied with eating vegetarian food?
For the royal family and ministers of the Japanese Kingdom, the most delicious delicacy is rice. In addition to rice, a few pickles are enough.
The more noble ministers, or those Japanese kings who like to become monks at all times, simply become vegetarians since childhood. Anyway, when the balls hurt in the future, everyone will become monks, so it is better to develop a good vegetarian stomach in advance.
In this regard, Gao Zhang could only express his admiration. Fortunately, in China, except for a few emperors with bad ideas, they would put religion above state affairs.
Most emperors, at least, did not make this mistake.
As for the reason why Gao Zhang wanted to persuade Zhao Zhongtong to supplement his nutrition, he was mainly worried that if Zhao Zhongsong did not do well, he would have to have a substitute under his control.
Therefore, Zhao Zhongtong must live a good life until Zhao Zhongsong stops talking.

Within a few days, after fierce debates and repeated consultations at the court, Fujiwara was finally given a country name that was more in line with the expectations of the Song Dynasty: Fuso Kingdom.
After all, Fusang was used to refer to the island country on the sea before, but since the Japanese country was so rebellious, it was natural that the Song Dynasty gave this country's name to Fusang.
As for the Japanese country, no one cares about it, and no one pays attention to it.
Only Prince Furen kept running towards Gaozhang's government office.
But how could Gao Zhang agree to the conditions in the Japanese credential?
What's more, now is the time when the Fusang Kingdom wants to unify the islands, so Gao Zhang naturally cannot give them a chance to cease the war and take a breather.
At this moment, on Nasado Island, Fang Ping was standing on a platform built on a ridge, looking at the prisoners of war below who were hard at work mining.
Turning his head, he saw billowing smoke rising from another place, where silver was being smelted.
And this is just a mine they discovered. On the other side, it is said that a suspected gold mine has been discovered. Chief Manager Fu Sheng has rushed over to investigate...
I’m really tired, so I’ll just update one. The remaining four updates will be written during the day.
