All the Fujiwara clan changed their surname to Zhao, while his wife's clan changed their surname to Wang.
Zhao Zhongsong also specially gave surnames to his close confidants. Moreover, a distant descendant of the Great Song Dynasty Saint Confucius was offered wine to the Imperial Academy of Fusang Kingdom.
He also awarded the title of Minister of Rites of Fusang State to a learned scholar of the Song Dynasty.
This means that from now on, Fuso State respects Confucianism as a national study, completely breaking away from the past Japanese cultural traditions.
In addition, he announced that every county under his rule would set up a sinology center and hire talented people from the Song Dynasty who were well versed in poetry to teach the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as poetry, etiquette, and music.
Moreover, these sinology centers would only recruit those who changed their surnames from the Central Plains, causing those from Fusang to start changing their surnames one after another.
Or those who don't have a surname are willing to ask the county magistrate, or the county magistrate gives a surname to their family.
There are also some people who have no connections and ask teachers from the Sinology Center to give them surnames.
The rules for enrolling students in these sinology centers are very simple, as long as they are willing to come to study, and the colleges provide students with room and board.
The top students in the college will be recommended by teachers and have the opportunity to participate in the Fuso National Civil Service Examination and become officials.
Furthermore, all financial support for the Sinology Museum came from the Kaifeng Metal Workshop of the Song Dynasty.
Including hiring teachers, all companies under the Kaifeng Metal Workshop are responsible.
These provisions and rules and regulations were all included in the twenty-one agreements signed by Zhao Zhongsong and Gao Zhang.
As the reform of Fuso Country deepens, I believe that the contradiction between the reformists and conservatives in Fuso Country will definitely become more and more acute.
However, Zhao Zhongsong could only bite the bullet and persevere, because he knew very well that the reason why Da Song supported him was not because he was loyal.
It was because Gao Xuanfu was standing behind him, but what made Zhao Zhongsong even more gratified.
Fortunately, most of the backbone of Fuso Kingdom are his former retainers and warriors, and there are also many talents that he has recruited during his years of doing business.
These unappreciated talents were originally very dissatisfied with the Japanese system.
But even so, many people under his command still fled to the Japanese country. To deal with these people, Li Zhongsong would never be lenient, and would only use iron and blood to shock all those who dared to have disloyal intentions.
As Emperor Shirakawa moved the capital again, people with lofty ideals in the Japanese country became more and more aware of the weakness of the Japanese royal family.
The wealthy families in the north have begun to stir up troubles, and some have even secretly communicated with the Fusang Kingdom, expressing their willingness to accept official positions in the Fusang Kingdom and to change their surnames.
Emperor Baihe never thought that after he overthrew the Sheguan family who had been riding on top of the royal power for more than a hundred years.
Before long, there will be such a danger of annihilation of the country, and the burning of Heian Kyo, and the army of Fuso Kingdom captured Awaji Island.
He had to announce the relocation of the capital in humiliation again and again. After several twists and turns, he, who was not physically strong, became seriously ill.
As for Emperor Ehito, after the soldiers of the Fuso Kingdom landed on Mount Sumaura, he had to leave Heian Kyo, which was still being rebuilt, and retreated directly to Otsu Kyo, the old capital hundreds of years ago, located in the south of Nabiwa Lake.
Emperor Baihe knew that the Fuso Kingdom was now in great power and decided to make peace. However, Li Zhongsong directly complained angrily to the envoys sent by Emperor Baihe.
And in front of the civil and military officials of Fusang Kingdom, he burned the peace document directly.
Either Emperor Shirakawa tied himself up and came to ask for surrender, or he waited to be crushed by the Fuso Kingdom's army to Nara.

The autumn harvest was not far away. As the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, Li Qianshun felt that he should do something to show that he, a great summer prince, also paid great attention to farming.
But what he didn't expect was that when he inspected Zhuo Luo and Nan Junsi, he realized something was wrong.
Because along the way, he noticed that the fields of Nazhuoluo and Nanjunsi were full of small white flowers. Although before, Li Qianshun had favored the military divisions to grow cotton for tea and silk.
But now it seems that the cotton grown by Zhuoluo and Nanjunsi is obviously a bit excessive.
This made Li Qianshun immediately send out his confidants to start investigating.
A few days later, Li Qianshun's car finally arrived at Dongzhuo La City (today's Hongchengzi), the seat of the military division.
Zhuo Luo and Nan Jun Si Du Ting She Mo led a group of military division generals and local tribal leaders to greet the Great Xia lord outside the city.
It was not until late at night that all the ministers who came to greet him dispersed, and Li Qianshun motioned to Fei Tingshemo to stay and discuss something he had to do.
Li Qianshun said meaningfully as he looked at the commander-in-chief who had been entrusted with an important task by him.
"Fei Tingqing, how many acres of cotton are planted by Zhuoluo and Nanjunsi?"
Fei Tingshe Mo, who had gray hair and beard and was the leader of the Fei Ting clan, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids when he heard this and quickly fell to the ground.
"I wonder why Your Majesty said this? But what did I do wrong?"
"Come and take a look at this. This is the number of acres of cotton planted in Zhuoluo and Nanjunsi."
Li Qianshun's face turned cold, and the waiter on the side quickly came to Fei Tingshemo and handed the account book to Fei Tingshemo.
Fei Tingshemo could only bite the bullet and opened the account book. Looking at the dense and detailed records inside, he felt a chill in his heart.
I never thought that this young king would be so serious.
He immediately prostrated himself on the ground without hesitation and repeatedly declared guilty.
"Your Majesty, this veteran was confused for a moment. Last year, Zhuoluo and the Nanjun Division were severely short of supplies. Later, we were ordered to use part of our land to grow cotton in exchange for supplies."
"Those bastards are so clever that they ignore the dissuasion of my old minister and secretly increase the number of plantings."
"I also wanted to strictly prohibit it, but the heads of the various departments told me that if Zhuoluo and the Nanjun Division don't do this, other military divisions will do the same..."
Li Qianshun's expression changed, he stood up and asked.
"Wait a minute, what did you say? Do other military commanders also have this kind of situation?"
"How dare I deceive you, veteran? There are tribal leaders in the entire Twelve Military Divisions of Great Xia who secretly increase the number of acres of cotton planted. Zhuoluo and Nanjun Division are not the only ones."
Looking at Fei Tingshemo who was swearing in front of him, Li Qianshun was really angry. He never thought that such a problem would not only arise with Zhuoluo and Nanjun, but also with the entire Xixia Twelve Military Division. Such a question.
You know, Zhuoluo and Nanjunsi alone have doubled their cotton planting to 100,000 acres, but the entire Zhuoluo and Nanjunsi only have a total of just over 200,000 acres of land.
