Many civilizations made accomplishments in farming but the Tang’s accomplishments were very important. One of the biggest advancements in farming was the three field system. The three field system was a system in the Tang dynasty where everyone gets enough arable land to farm and produce food for themselves. This was important because it allowed every family to have a food and it prevented the very wealthy people from buying up all of the land. In other dynasties and empires, rich people buying all of the land was a major problem. The Tang wanted to avoid this because they knew the outcome of having a rich people controlling all of the farming land. The middle class and poor people wouldn't be able to live and the economy would be very bad. This system gave people land according to their needs. For example, older people and widows got less land than a man with a family. (Theobald, 2015) Every adult male was allowed eighty mu, which was a measurement of land, old and sick people were allowed forty mu, widows received thirty mu, and lower class merchants and craftsmen got ten mu. This system benefited the economy because since everyone had enough food, they could specialize in their own crafts like blacksmithing and art. Another benefit from the food surplus that this system brought is that the government found a new strain of rice that grew much quicker and was less work to grow. This gave the Tang an

Part of the Indians didn’t want to do it because, it is against their religion. The British punished the people who were against putting their mouths in the cow and pig fat and they tortured them(The Story of India).

Under the NEP peasants handed over half of the food they produced to the government. Whatever surplus was left they could sell for profit. The policy gave peasants an incentive to work – the more food they produced, the richer they became. Food production expanded. The best, most successful farmers became known as kulaks.

Agriculture was another economic activity that contributed to the rise and expansion of the state. Farming was for the most part subsistence and labour intensive. Crops like sorghum, millet and rapoko were grown on the family plots. The generally favourable climatic conditions ensured successful harvests and resulted in the accumulation of surplus grain, animals and other forms of wealth. All this stimulated the population growth that was so crucial in the emergence and growth of so large and powerful a state such as the Mutapa. Agriculture not only enabled the subject peoples to produce for themselves but for the state in order to pay tribute to their rulers. They paid the tribute either by way of actual agricultural produce or through the provision of agricultural labour. It has been said that one day out of each month, different parts of the state offered labour to the royal fields, the zunde (Mudenge, 1988, 164).
