Chapter 924

~4 min read 642 words

But only a few people could truly understand and achieve even a little bit of it.

Qin Mu had very high requirements for his courtiers.

Someone like Zhang Juzheng, who already understood some "momentum" thinking, could beat the entire imperial court of the Great Tang if placed there!

Qin Mu looked at the courtiers offering strategies and felt some emotion in his heart.

Thinking back to when he was threatened by Zhangsun Wuji and broke out of Changancheng alone.

He broke through one barrier after another and finally arrived in Tibet, completing his first check-in.

On that journey, he didn't have a single person by his side. Even if there were not-so-excellent ideas, no one told him.

But in the end, he let himself walk to today, step by step.

Sitting high on the dragon throne, looking at the courtiers below competing to offer strategies for him.

Such a situation was hard-won.

Many things should be cherished well while one possesses them.

"My ministers, I have heard all your opinions.

Regarding the Siamese, does anyone know their origins?"

When this question was thrown out, there was immediate silence below.

They did not understand why the Emperor suddenly asked this?

Could it be that how to treat the Siamese is related to their origins?

Seeing that no one answered, Qin Mu spoke.

"The ancestors of the current Siamese were actually the Bai Pu people. The ancestors of the Bai Pu lived on the land of Yelang today.

So, the Siamese are actually of the same root and origin as the Yelang people!"

This... the span is so large!

To verify these things, one would need to consult many historical books and classics.

The people of the Central Plains have always not valued those foreign barbarians.

Yet they did not expect the Emperor to be so clear about the ancestors of the Siamese?

Qin Mu said.

"So when you offer strategies, do not harbor hostility toward the Siamese.

Since they have been incorporated into Great Qin's territory, they will all be Qin people in the future. It's just that they are currently the poorest batch of Qin people!" At first, the atmosphere was quite serious.

When Qin Mu said the last sentence, some ministers could not help but laugh out loud.

With Siam at the bottom, any place in Great Qin now is a relatively wealthy place.

The Siamese are truly quite miserable.

Qin Mu made such a long buildup just to say the following words.

"Siam is very important; the importance of this place exceeds the imagination of all of you.

But the climate of that place is too humid and hot, and northern soldiers can hardly adapt.

The Siam of the future will definitely be a place governed by the Siamese themselves. Therefore, it is necessary for the Siamese to first develop a sense of belonging to Great Qin."

These words set a tone for this matter.

But Qin Mu did not tell them the truly important part of Siam, which could replace the strategic position of the Temasek Strait.

This matter cannot be rushed; it is better to do it step by step.

"In this way, isn't it very clear what strategy should be adopted for Siam?

Establish a southern navy, use Siam as a base, and go out to sea to conquer the surrounding islands!

Let the Siamese also enjoy the glory and majesty of joining Great Qin!"

This move is very powerful!

Sharing glory is the easiest way to make people integrate.

Once the Siamese are allowed to enjoy Great Qin's glory, it will be very easy to make them classify themselves back as Qin people.

After all, their ancestors were also of the same origin, so there was a basis for it.

Although it will take some effort, it will also increase Great Qin's population by three million.
