[EVENT] A Rattanakosin Code

Post Body

The newly crowned King, Rama I, had been moving fast as was necessary in these past few decades in Southeast Asia. He had defeated the Burmese just a few years ago in the Nine Armies War, and lost at the battle of Rạch Gầm-Xoài Mút to the Vietnamese. The Cambodians and the Kingdom of Champasak, Vientiane, and Luang Phrabang, were all returned to Thai vassalage years before that. The Thai people now had three years of peace, an abnormally high amount compared to the recent violence in the region. Rama I took this opportunity to order the Supreme Patriarch of Thai Buddhism to get the monks and learned people of the realm to collect the old Ayutthayan laws and send them to the capital, Bangkok, so that a unified legal code could be done based off the old proven ways of the Ayutthaya. As the Rattanakosin controlled more and more of the region, Rama realized that the Thai people themselves needed some better ruling if his kingdom was going to be controlled by the Thai peoples, deserved as they were of the position of rulers. The courts of the people were in disarray as the Burmese sacked and burned much of the records in the cities. However, Rama hoped that the monks and people of the countryside could come and bring forth the needed records, and all that could be done is hope.
