The port of Busan, which belongs to Donggang Province in Liaodong Province, was not developed for too long, mainly after the empire brought the Goryeo Peninsula under its native rule, although after a series of various measures, the population structure of the place has changed greatly, but inevitably, there are still a large number of local natives on the Goryeo Peninsula.

Therefore, the empire has always maintained a very cautious attitude towards the rule of the Goryeo Peninsula.

It has maintained a large garrison all year round, a small peninsula, and stationed three entire reserve divisions, up to 20,000 troops.

In addition, it is also to continue to encourage people to migrate, migrate people from the interior to the peninsula, and then move the indigenous people on the peninsula to the northeast and other places and even the area west of Shanhaiguan, and encourage intermarriage.

In terms of culture, the unified education and various cultures of the Tang Empire were strictly implemented, such as clothing, the traditional costumes of the local aborigines were strictly prohibited, but all were changed to wear Hanfu, and in writing, the so-called Xunmin Zhengyin was directly abolished, and even all local books written in Xunmin Zhengyin were collected and burned.

At the same time, a number of so-called history books on the Goryeo Peninsula were collected and sealed extensively.

At the same time, many books of the Tang Empire were introduced, and the Liaodong edition in the Tang Dynasty newspaper was both for three days, all of which were to promote that the Goryeo Peninsula belonged to China since ancient times.

All the empire has to do is completely erase the cultural independence of the Goryeo Peninsula!

It is necessary not only to annex the Goryeo Peninsula militarily and politically, but also culturally and completely, so as to avoid such things as independence in a few years.

In terms of this kind of grand policy, the empire's rule on the Goryeo Peninsula was still mainly based on political, military, and cultural work, while in economic construction, it did not invest too much in supporting agricultural development and maintaining basic people's livelihood.

After all, the food produced by agricultural development is the most crucial factor in maintaining social stability.

As for industry and commerce, the central government of the empire is to not give specific financial support or special policy support for the time being, and treat it as an ordinary region.

The refusal to give support is actually because they are worried that there will be turmoil in the rule of the Goryeo Peninsula in the future, or that there will be some turmoil on the Fuso side, which will affect the Goryeo Peninsula.

In addition, it has a great deal to do with the fact that the Goryeo Peninsula has few resources and a small population, making it unsuitable for large-scale industrial and commercial development.

In this way, the Goryeo Peninsula is actually a region that is not much valued within the empire, but even so, it is much better than in the Joseon Dynasty.

In any case, the empire was open to industry and commerce, and unlike the traditional feudal dynasties, the Goryeo Peninsula lacked resources, the population was not large, and there were great demographic problems, but even so, relying on the proximity to Fuso, the Goryeo Peninsula, especially the port of Busan in Donggang Province of the Goryeo Peninsula, still relied on the proximity to the Fusang area, and the Oriental trade was greatly developed.

This is an advantage that comes with geography and is difficult to replicate elsewhere.

Tsushima Island, which is subordinate to Dongjiang Prefecture, is a transit island connecting Fuso, and has become one of the two major transit points for the Tang Empire's trade with Fuso, and the other major transit point is naturally Osumi County.

It's just that compared to Osumi Prefecture, the development of Tsushima Island is much slower, but even so, it has brought great benefits to Tsushima Island and even the entire Dongjiang Prefecture.

The empire's merchant ships to and from Fuso had two major routes: one was from Shanghai, Ningbo and other ports in the eastern sea, passing through the Ryukyu Islands, and then arriving in Osumi Prefecture, where they used the transit center to trade with Fuso.

Another major route was from several ports in the northern part of the empire, then along the coastline of the Goryeo Peninsula, then to the port of Pusan, and then across the Tsushima Strait, through Tsushima Island, to the ports of Fuso for trade.

One south and one north, these are the two major Oriental trade routes, but the industry and commerce in the north of the empire are not very developed, so the northern route is not so prosperous, and it mainly depends on the Ryukyu route.

But even if it is weaker, the Port of Busan still has greatly developed by relying on this route.

Even in order to show that it attaches importance to maritime trade, the Dongjiang Prefecture Yamen directly transferred the government to Busan after applying for a report.

This place is not only a coastal port, but also the government of Dongjiang Province.

The Port of Busan that Song Maruko saw was the Port of Busan after years of trade development!

The first impression she had of the Port of Busan was that there were a lot of ships in the port!

And these ships, quite a few of them are seagoing vessels!

There are not only many medium- and large-scale offshore merchant ships, but also many fishing vessels.

As the saying goes, in addition to the development of maritime transit trade, Dongjiang Province is also focusing on the development of fisheries.

Relying on the many fishery resources in the North Sea, the fishery development of Dongjiang Province has also been relatively prosperous in recent years.

Beihai, that is, the Whale Sea in the mouth of the Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty, the East China Sea in the mouth of the Joseon Dynasty of Goryeo, and the imperial territory map issued by the Tang Dynasty after the unification of China, clearly called this sea area Beihai.

Regarding the term Beihai, many Chinese dynasties have different definitions, sometimes referring to Lake Belga, sometimes simply referring to the Arctic Ocean, while in the Tang Empire, the Whale Sea is called the Beihai, and the Belga Lake is called the 'Little Sea', and the Arctic Ocean is the Beiyang and, not what the Beihai is called.

Beihai, this sea area is now naturally under the control of the Tang Empire, of course, this also has something to do with the fact that no one is competing with the Tang Empire.

To the north, there are some natives who do not have large-scale navigation capabilities at all, and Fusang has a few small sampans at most, which is also unable to pose the slightest threat to the Tang Empire's control of the North Sea.

The North Sea is rich in fishing resources, and as a large port in the northernmost part of the empire, it is a natural choice to develop fisheries here.

The existence of maritime transit trade and fishing is what made Song Maruki see many ships in the port of Busan, and in addition to the ships, there are many buildings on the shore, of course, there are very few factories and some are only some fishery processing factories.

But even so, it also allowed Song Maruki to see the most prosperous city he had seen in his life!

Especially when she undoubtedly learned that this Busan was only a medium-sized port under the rule of the Tang Empire, she was even more shocked.

Others say that under the rule of the empire, there are many large ports!

Shanghai Port, Guangzhou Port, these two major ports have countless ships in and out day and night, and hundreds of thousands of people live in them!

In addition to these two major ports, many port cities along the coast cannot be ignored, almost every one of them is a medium and large port city!

Including Qiongzhou, Leizhou, Lianzhou, Chaozhou, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Ningbo, Haizhou, Andong, Weihai, Penglai, Tianjin, Jinzhou, Incheon, Busan, etc.

In addition to these coastal cities, in fact, some inland port cities cannot be ignored, and even more developed than many of them.

Needless to say, Jinling City is the largest inland port city in China, and its port throughput is second only to Shanghai and Guangzhou, the two major coastal port cities.

Followed by Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Dangtu, Anqing, Jiujiang, Wuchang, Chongqing, Chengdu and other coastal cities of the Yangtze River, plus Zhaoqing and Wuzhou in the west of the Pearl River, plus Huai'an and Kaifeng in the Huaihe River basin of the Huaihe River and the Yellow River Basin.

In terms of industry, commerce, and even economic aggregates, the total number of these inland river cities is not much weaker than that of those coastal cities.

However, whether it is coastal or riverside, they all have a unified characteristic, that is, they rely on shipping.

There is no way, we have to engage in industry and commerce these days, and transportation is king!

Before the development of railways and trains, which were the core symbols of land transportation, shipping had irreplaceable advantages.

Song Maruzi learned from others that when the throughput and overall scale of the port in front of him in this huge port city could not even squeeze into the top twenty, Yin Tao's mouth opened wide.

This kind of fact is beyond her imagination!

Because in her opinion, a city of Busan's size is already more than any other city in Fuso, at least she has never heard of such a large city on the Fuso Islands.

Not even in Kyoto!

With shock, Song Maruko and the other Fusang women got off the boat, and then were arranged to stay, but a few days later, she was separated from many Fuso women, because she had already made it clear that she would not participate in the blind date, she would rather work to pay off the ferry ticket than go on a blind date and marry someone who didn't know if it was a cat or a dog.

Regarding Song Maruko's choice, the people of the marriage committee will naturally not be embarrassed in the slightest.

Although it is said that the marriage committee wants to let the single men in the country digest the women of Fusang, it will not say that it is forced, and in their opinion, as long as Song Marunzi becomes a subject of the empire and lives on the land of the empire, sooner or later he will marry the people of the Tang Dynasty.

And that's enough!

Their current policy is very clear, that is, to get a large number of Fusang women to go to China, and they don't care who these Fuso women end up marrying, or even not.

As long as these Fusang women don't stay in Fusang and give birth to children for Fusang, it's okay!

Therefore, for the disposal of these Fuso women, the marriage committee is quite humane, basically if you are willing to find someone to marry, they will arrange a blind date for you, and if you are willing to support yourself, they will arrange a job for you.

Of course, if you have other ways to find someone to guarantee or pay for the ferry ticket, you can also just leave, and if you like to go there.

If you have the money to buy a ticket directly and be able to sustain yourself once you arrive in the Empire, they are even more welcome!

In principle, the marriage committee fully respects the free choice of these Fuso women and will not forcibly interfere with them!

The marriage committee is not a human trafficker, let alone a pimp, their job is to organize and transport Fuso women to the country.

It's a very simple job!
