Timurid dual policy in relation with farmers

Timur invasion resulted in land degradation, destruction of irrigation networks, increase in barren lands, and a relative stagnation in the agricultural situation. But after the establishment of the government, the Timurid made reforms to compensate for the destruction and to take measures for the welfare of the farmers. In the present study, an attempt has been made to use the descriptive-analytical method and relying on the data available in the sources, to consider the extent to which the situation of farmers has been affected by the political developments of the Timurid rulers? The findings show that the Timurid sultans took steps in support of the peasants, who have always been the most important suppliers of food and government revenue, but these measures were either insufficient or conditions for the rulers was going on that caused them to ignore all the rules and orders issued in order to stay in power for a few more mornings. In fact, the administration of justice for farmers was only relevant when the situation was calm and the rulers were in power, but as soon as the situation in the country became critical, the Timurid rulers forgot all the issued laws and orders and collected taxes Unorthodox practices and hardships made life difficult for farmers. One of the consequences of these heavy and incalculable taxes was the revolt, flight and migration of farmers, and the decline of agriculture in this period is evidence of the poor situation of farmers.
