    According to the record of the now famous Zhou Da Guan, Chinese commercial envoy member, in 1296 A.D., the city of Angkor was in caste systems with master residents (rulers, soldiers, priests, and merchants) on one end and slaves on another end.    "Most families have more than 100 slaves, some have 20, only the poorest families have none", he wrote.  It is not hard to estimate then that, out of about 1 million population of Angkor, 7 out of 10 were slaves.   The rest of them were the King and his royal families, nobles, officials and their families, soldiers and their families, priests, Chinese merchants.
