Solution
He fixed the cost of all commodities such as food grains, sugar, and cooking oil. For this purpose, he set up three markets at Delhi: one market for food grains, the second for costly cloth, and the third for horses, slaves, and cattle. Each market was put under the charge of a controller of the market (Shahna). Very strict punishments were prescribed for cheating and under weighing the goods.
