Solution
- Land was surveyed and measured with a bamboo jarib joined together with iron rings instead of the hemp rope used earlier.
- The land was grouped into four categories depending on whether it was regularly or occasionally cultivated. It was classified further into good, middling, and bad categories.
- The average produce and the average price over the past 10 years were calculated. The revenue was calculated on the basis of these averages. One-third of the average produce was the king’s share. It could be paid in cash or kind, though cash was preferred.
