Incheon (Korean: 천, 仁川) formerly romanized as Inchon, and officially known as Incheon Metropolitan City, is a city located in northwestern South Korea. The city was home to just 4,700 people when Chemulpo or Jemulpo port was built in 1883. Today 2.9 million people live in the city, making it Korea’s third most populous city after Seoul and Busan.

During the reigns of King Mongkut, King Rama IV (1851 68) and King Chulalongkorn, Rama V (1868 1910), the vast majority of Siamese were rice farmers who employed simple methods and rudimentary tools to work the fields. Nevertheless, harvests were bountiful due to the climate and fertile soil, and many farmers were able to produce three harvests per year. Prior to the kings' modernisation drive, Siam's farmers had to give one-quarter of their rice harvest to the king as tax. To ensure the entire population was well fed, Siam had a law that only when three year's supply of rice was stocked, would the country export the product. Similar state monopolies existed for other foods.
