Keywords:
Amir Temur, agrarian relations, agriculture, land ownership, irrigation system, farming, medieval history.Abstract
This article provides a scientific analysis of the development of agriculture and the specific features of agrarian relations during the reign of Amir Temur. The study examines the forms of land ownership in the Middle Ages, the land-use system, economic relations between peasants and landowners, and the main directions of the state's agrarian policy. In addition, issues related to irrigation systems, the construction of canals and ditches, and the repair and efficient use of existing irrigation structures are also analyzed.
The article studies, on the basis of scientific sources and historical data, the role of agriculture in the economic development of the Timurid period, the growth of farming culture, the rational use of land resources, and the measures taken by the state to support the rural population. The impact of agrarian relations on the socio-economic structure of society and the influence of these processes on the development of subsequent periods are also analyzed.
The research results contribute to a deeper understanding of the formation and development of agrarian relations in the era of Amir Temur, and make an important contribution to enriching scholarly research on the economic history of medieval Central Asia.
