Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 540 Twelve Army Commanders, Everyone Steals, Rapes, and Plays Sly (Third Watch)
All the Fujiwara clan changed their surnames to Zhao one after another, and his wives changed their surnames to Wang one after another.

Zhao Zhongsong also specially bestowed the surnames of his confidants.Moreover, he also paid homage to a distant descendant of a sage of Confucianism in the Song Dynasty as a sacrificial wine for the Guozijian of Fusang Kingdom.

He also awarded the Minister of Rites of the Fusang Kingdom to a well-learned scholar in the Song Dynasty.

It means that from this moment on, Fusang State respects Confucianism as a national study, and has completely cut off from the old Japanese cultural tradition.

In addition, it was announced that every county and county under its rule would set up a sinology hall, and hire talents who had read poetry and books from the Song Dynasty to teach the Four Books and Five Classics, poetry, rituals and music.

Moreover, these sinology halls will only recruit those who have changed their surnames from the Central Plains, making those Fusang people begin to change their surnames one after another.

Or those who don't have a surname are willing to ask the county magistrate or the sheriff to give their family a surname.

There are also some people who have no connections, so they ask the teachers of the Sinology Center to give them surnames.

The rules for recruiting students in these sinology halls are very simple, as long as they are willing to come to study, and the colleges provide students with board and lodging.

The top students of the college will be recommended by their teachers and get the opportunity to participate in the Fusang National Imperial Examination to become an official.

What's more, all the financial support of the Sinology Institute comes from the Kaifeng Metal Workshop in Song Dynasty.

Including the hiring of teachers, those companies under the Kaifeng Metal Workshop are responsible for it.

These regulations and rules and regulations were all included in the 21 articles signed by Zhao Zhongsong and Gao Zhang.

With the deepening of the reforms in Fusang, I believe that the contradiction between the reformers and the conservatives in Fusang 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 so loyal.

It was because Gao Xuanfu was standing behind him, but Zhao Zhongsong was very pleased.

Fortunately, in Fusang Kingdom, most of the backbone forces are his former retainers and warriors, and there are many talents he has recruited when he has been in business for so many years.

These underappreciated talents were already very dissatisfied with the system of the Wa country.

But even so, there are still many people under his command who fled to the Wa country. Li Zhongsong will never be soft when dealing with these people, as long as he uses iron and blood to shock all those who dare to harbor dissent.

With the relocation of the capital of Emperor Nabaihe, those people with lofty ideals in the Wa country became more and more aware of the weakness of the rule of the Japanese royal family.

The noble families in the Northland have already begun to move around, and some people have even secretly communicated with the Fusang Kingdom, expressing their willingness to accept the official position of the Fusang Kingdom and to accept a change of surname.

Emperor Baihe never thought that after he overthrew the Sheguan family who had been riding on the crown for more than 100 years.

Before long, there will be such a danger of annihilation of the country, and the burning of Heianjing, and because the army of the Fusang Kingdom captured Awaji Island again.

He had to humiliately announce the move of the capital again and again, and after several tosses, he, who was originally not physically strong, had already contracted a serious illness.

And Emperor Huiren, after the troops of the Fuso Kingdom landed on Mount Sumaura, had to leave Heian-kyo, which was still being rebuilt, and went straight to the old capital hundreds of years ago, Otsu-kyo, located in the southern part of Nabiwa.

The Emperor Baihe knew that the Fusang Kingdom was in full swing and decided to make peace, but Li Zhongsong directly complained angrily to the envoy sent by the Emperor Baihe.

And in front of the civil and military forces of the Fusang country, the peace petition was directly burned.

Either, Emperor Baihe came to surrender himself, or waited for the army of the Fusang Kingdom to flatten Nara.

The autumn harvest is not far away. As the lord of the Western Xia Dynasty, Li Qianshun felt that he should do something to show that he, the prince of summer, also pays attention to farming.

But what he didn't expect was that when he inspected Zhuo Luo and Nan Junsi, he realized that something was wrong.

Because he traveled all the way, he noticed that Zhuo La and Nanjunsi's fields were full of small white flowers, although before, Li Qianshun had favored Zhujunsi to grow cotton for tea and silk.

But looking at it now, the amount of cotton Zhuo Luo and Nan Junsi planted was obviously too much.

This made Li Qianshun immediately send his confidants to investigate.

A few days later, Li Qianshun's car finally arrived at Dongzhuoluo City (now Hongchengzi), the headquarters of the military division.

Zhuo Luo and Southern Army Commander Fei Tingshemo led a group of military commanders and local tribal leaders to greet the Great Xia King outside the city.

It wasn't until late at night that all the ministers and workers who had come to greet him dispersed, that Li Qianshun signaled that Fei Tingshe should not stay and he had something to discuss.

Li Qianshun spoke meaningfully as he looked at the commander of the capital he had entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

"Fei Tingqing, Zhuo Luo and Nanjunsi, how many acres of cotton are they planting?"

With gray beard and hair, Fei Tingshemo, who is the head of the Fei Ting clan, couldn't help his eyelids twitched when he heard this, and quickly fell to the ground.

"I don't know why Your Majesty made such a statement? But what did the old minister do wrong?"

"Take a look at this thing. This is the number of acres of cotton planted in various places in Zhuoluo and Nanjunsi who have been thoroughly investigated these days."

Li Qianshun's face turned cold, and the waiter at 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.

Immediately, he prostrated himself on the ground without hesitation, repeatedly proclaiming his guilt.

"Your Majesty, this is a moment of confusion for the old minister. Last year, Zhuo Luo and the Southern Army Division suffered a serious shortage of supplies. Later, I was ordered to take out a portion of the fields to grow cotton in exchange for supplies."

"Those bastards, seeing their eyes open, ignored the old minister's dissuasion, and secretly increased the number of plantings in private."

"The old minister also wanted to strictly prohibit it, but the various chiefs told the old minister that if we Zhuo La and the Southern Army Division do not do this, other military divisions will do the same..."

Li Qianshun's complexion changed, he stood up and asked.

"You, wait a minute, what are you talking about? This is also the case with other military commanders?"

"How dare an old minister bully the king. In the Twelve Army Divisions of the Great Xia, there are tribal leaders who privately increase the number of acres of cotton planted. It is definitely not just me Zhuo La and the Southern Army Division."

Looking at Fei Tingshemo, who was swearing in front of him, Li Qianshun was really furious. He never thought that such a problem was not only caused by Zhuo La and the Southern Army Division, but the entire Xixia Twelve Army Division had such a problem.

You know, Zhuoluo and Nanjunsi alone have doubled the amount of cotton they planted, reaching 20 mu, but the entire Zhuoluo and Nanjunsi only have a total of just over [-] mu of land.
