Chapter 65: New Era Part 18: Chao Phraya River (Part 1)

 Chao Phraya River, Siamese, is the mother of the Great River. At present, the highest level below the title of the King of Siam is Chao Phraya, so it is also known as Chao Phraya River.

At this time, Siam and even Thailand in later generations had superior natural conditions, ranked first in Southeast Asia. The Chao Phraya River Plain exceeded 150,000 square kilometers, and the so-called Korat Plateau in the northeast was the large plain with an average altitude of no more than 300 meters. The precipitation was also above 1,000 mm and the area was as high as 170,000 square kilometers.

It is a super-large plain with a very suitable farming environment of more than 300,000 square kilometers. The country does not want to be strong, and it is vast and can harvest a large amount of rice by relying solely on the harvest of heaven means that it can feed a large population, and population is the most important condition for the ancient times to be strong.

Of course, hundreds of years ago, the Korat Plateau belonged to the territory of the Khmer Kingdom.

Traditionally, the titles are given five levels, Zhaopian, Pie, Luan, Kun, respectively, corresponding to Duke, Hou, Bo, Zi, and Man. If you can become Zhaopian, it means that you have the possibility of becoming a noble family.

All the kings of Siam started their family with Chao Phraya. The country respected Buddhism, but was deeply influenced by Hinduism. If they became Chao Phraya and were given a high hat of Rama, it means that you can "go to the court without going to the court, praise and worship without being named."

Rama, Rama, is one of the incarnations of Vishnu, one of the three Hindu patron gods.

A heavy rain in midsummer splashed on the northern shore of the Gulf of Siam, and the entire lower reaches of the Chao Phraya River were shrouded in a huge mist.

The water surface of the lower reaches of the Chao Phraya River is extremely wide and deep. The average width below Thonburi is more than one mile, and the depth remains above ten meters all year round, which creates excellent conditions for the ship to penetrate deep into the interior.

After stomping gently on the dry ground paved with marble, the forty-six-year-old Choker sighed sincerely.

In the past, no matter what dynasty it was, although magnificent palaces were built, no one could have been like Bangkok City. Zheng Xin, who was born in China, had the courage and ambition to recruit huge amount of manpower to build this amazing city when he ascended the throne.

Although the Siam Kingdom was spiritually wise in India, it imitated China in patriarchal law, but it was different. The land here was nominally king, and all classes could only accept the king's fiefdom and could not trade freely. All prisoners captured in the war and those who destroyed their families because of their crimes were demoted to slaves.

The ones living between the nobles and the civilians are a large number of slaves. They are the private property of the nobles and are also the private soldiers who come to aid. The tax and service class is just civilians. Since it is private property, the power owned by the nobles is actually quite powerful.

If it were the Chaopiya class, he could nominally receive 200,000 acres of fertile land and a large number of slaves rewarded by the king. In fact, through war, he kept rewarding and deprived from others more than 200,000 acres. Take Chokri as an example, he actually owned more than 3 million acres of fertile land in the Chaopiya River Basin below the Great City.
