*''Date: [[1873]]''
The Land Tax Ordinance of [[1873]] reformed the tax system such that taxes were no longer based on the yield that year, but now on a set valuation of the land; further, taxes were no longer to be paid in kind (in produce), but rather in [[currency|coin]]. This dramatically simplified the system and ensured the [[Meiji government]] a predictable level of income each year, unaffected by famine or drought.
