Song Maruzi was one of the two thousand Fusang women who went to the Tang Empire.

Looking at the name, it doesn't look like a Fusang woman, that's because her surname was temporarily taken by the officials of the Tang Dynasty when she signed up for a blind date.

In order to facilitate management, the empire will temporarily help these Fuso women take a surname immediately, and if they don't have a name, they will also be given a name, so that they can be better managed.

However, Song Maruki had a surname before, but she concealed it!

Song Maruko, standing on the deck at this time, looking at the waves on the sea, she didn't know whether her choice was right or wrong!

She is not different from most of the Fuso women on the ship are girls from poor families, she is from high society, her father is a big name, although this name is not a big name in Fuso, the army under his command is only a few hundred people, but it is also a big name, a serious ruling class.

As a member of the ruling class, she knew her fate early on, and she would be used as a political bargaining chip, to marry other daimyos, or simply to be given as a gift to the powerful daimyo.

When she was a child, she didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but when she followed her father to the Datang Business District in Osaka a year ago, it made her worldview change greatly.

Most of the empire's colonies, especially the small and medium-sized colonies obtained by means of purchases and concessions, are basically using the brand of the trade zone, establishing the yamen of the trade zone, and becoming a country within a foreign country.

In the business district of Osaka, she saw the prosperity for the first time, and the business district is so prosperous, you can imagine how prosperous Datang itself is

However, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that she accidentally saw a book that basically introduces the style of the Tang Empire, and what is written on it shocked her.

This kind of introduction book specifically for the Fuso people is naturally only selected to say, saying that everyone in the empire has a land, everyone has a house, and more importantly, the empire guarantees personal freedom, freedom of marriage, prohibits human trafficking, prohibits slaves and a series of other protective measures.

These things made Song Marunzi form an initial influence on the Tang Empire: powerful, prosperous, and free!

These three words are Song Maruzi, and they are also the first impression of most other Fusang people on Datang!

These impressions had a great impact on her.

These influences continued to ferment in her mind, so when she learned that this year the family would marry her to a nearby daimyō, and that daimyo was already in his fifties, and more importantly, that daimyo already had a wife, and even more than a dozen concubines.

At that time, she just thought that the Tang Empire is a country with free marriage, and if she goes to the Tang Dynasty, then she will be able to choose her husband freely, instead of obeying the family's arrangement to marry an old man as a concubine.

After this thought was born, it couldn't be extinguished, and finally, one night when she was about to get married, she entered the Datang Business Zone alone!

When she arrived in the business district, she felt that her life had changed, and that no one could force her to do things she didn't want to do.

Of course, she was in a bit of a hurry when she fled, and she didn't carry much gold and silver, and after she arrived at the trade area, she was robbed again, and the money on her body was gone, so she couldn't go ahead with the next plan, which was to buy a ticket to Datang.

At this time, I happened to learn that Datang was recruiting young women to go to Datang for a blind date, and promised that everything was voluntary, even if they didn't want to go on a blind date after arriving in Datang.

So, she just signed up for the blind date directly!

Her real purpose was naturally not to go on a blind date, she just wanted to go to Datang, so she didn't get on the boat to Shanghai, but on the boat to Busan.

The boats to Shanghai are all people who are determined to find someone to marry as soon as they get off the boat, because if they find someone to marry, they can pay off the ferry ticket in time.

Song Maruko chose to go to Busan, she didn't want to find someone to marry, she was going to work for a while after arriving in Busan, and then raise money to pay off the ferry ticket money, and then start her new life!

Song Maruko is on this ship, she is a special Fusang woman, she originally had a surname, and she had very clear plans and expectations for the future, plus the identity of the daughter of a daimyo.

This is rare

Most of the other Fuso women are from the middle and lower classes of society, but they really don't have surnames, and many don't even have a name.

In contemporary Fusang, the vast majority of people do not have surnames, and those with surnames are generally high-ranking officials and nobles, while ordinary Ren does not have surnames, but these Fusang women who are ready to go to the Tang Empire, when they sign up, they have already left the identity of Fusang women, but have become a woman of the Tang Empire.

As one of the policies, the Tang Empire made quite a lot of detailed measures for Fusang women to come to China.

One of the major items is the naturalization of these Fuso women.

The Tang Empire has already implemented a complete household registration system, both men and women, they all need to be registered in the patrol police department, and when they go out, they need a household registration certificate, so that they can pass many checks and stay in inns and so on.

These Fusang women are going to the Tang Empire, and it is not possible to do without a legal identity, and it is too troublesome for the black household to manage.

Therefore, after it was determined that these Fusang women went to Datang voluntarily, they would be given household registration immediately, and the place where they settled was unified into Osumi Prefecture, and once naturalized, these Fusang women would become subjects of the empire and be protected by the law.

In this way, you will avoid a lot of trouble!

For example, if their family members suddenly come to the door and want to take them back by force, it will not work, the law of the Tang Empire protects any Tang people, regardless of whether this Tang people were Fusang people before.

Basically, as long as this Fusang woman enters the colonies of Fusang under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, then the basic personal safety can be guaranteed, because the Tang Dynasty law stipulates that the subjects of the empire enjoy personal freedom.

This is just basic, once they officially settle down and become subjects of the empire, then they will be protected by the empire, not to mention their family members, even if the emperor of Japan comes and wants to bring people back, the empire will provide protection for them!

Registering these Fuso women and making them members of the empire was one of the more important measures.

It also avoids human trafficking!

Human trafficking was strictly forbidden by Imperial law, but it was not allowed anywhere under the Empire's rule.

Not even a foreigner, let alone a subject of the Empire.

However, the imperial household registration is not so easy to settle, and for so many years, it is unlikely that aliens want to become naturalized in the empire.

Large-scale naturalization has only occurred twice before, once when the Goryeo Peninsula was annexed and once when the Ryukyu Kingdom was annexed, and the empire directly recognized the people of these two places as subjects of the empire.

The natives of other regions, it is more difficult to naturalize in the Tang Empire, especially men, there are many aliens living in the Tang Empire, the Portuguese and the Spaniards have quite a part, but there are not many foreigners and males naturalized in the Tang Empire, and there are only more than 100 people in total, the most famous of which is Guedes.

For the naturalization of these male foreigners, the Tang Empire has very strict regulations, first of all, it is stipulated that they must make outstanding contributions to the empire before they will be allowed to apply, and after obtaining the application, they must hold a specific ceremony to declare their allegiance to the Tang Emperor, allegiance to the empire, and renounce their original nationality and allegiance to the object.

At the same time, you must give up your original religious beliefs, you can convert to Buddhism or Taoism in China, of course, it doesn't matter if you don't believe in it, anyway, you must give up your original religious beliefs.

As long as you marry a Datang man, well, you must be a legal husband and wife, lovers, concubines and the like can't, after marriage, you can apply for a ten-year residence permit, and you can apply for naturalization after ten years, usually it will be approved.

To put it simply, the empire strictly prohibits the naturalization of alien men, but it does not give much of an obstacle to the naturalization of alien women.

Not only for naturalization, but in fact, the empire still prohibits foreigners from traveling to various parts of the empire on a large scale, otherwise there would be no specific administrative areas such as trade zones.

In the empire itself, foreigners can only live, live and do business in the trade zone, and cannot go outside the trade zone!

If you want to go to other places, you must apply for a special pass, accompanied by an official to go to other parts of the empire, and if you want to apply for this special pass, you are generally an official diplomat or a big businessman of a foreign country, and ordinary foreigners basically do not have this opportunity.

It can also be seen here that the population of the empire or the general line of ethnic policy is to ensure the purity of blood and prevent the emergence of large-scale aliens in the country.

The empire does not welcome foreign immigrants to live and settle in the empire on a large scale!

Opening up this opening to Fuso women now is also a continuation of the established policy of the empire, and accepting a large number of Fusang women will not cause any harm to the national structure of the empire.

Because after these Fusang women and Tang men got married and had children, their descendants were still subjects of the empire, and there would be no difference in appearance.

But if a large number of Fusang and other alien males are allowed to enter the empire, then the trouble will be great.

Song Maruko and more than 1,500 other Fuso women, after sailing at sea for many days on several ships, finally landed at the port of Busan in Donggang Province, on the Goryeo Peninsula in Liaodong Province, the empire's homeland.

When Song Maruko stepped on the land of the port, he felt that this place was full of differences from Fuso!
