Answer 2

Answer:

Alauddin Khilji maintained a strong and huge standing army to safeguard his empire.

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 and cattle.

Alauddin Khilji was a good administrator because:

1)He confiscated all the rent-free landholdings given to priests and government officials.

2)The officials were forbidden from collecting extra taxes from peasants.

3)He raised the land tax to half the total produce to build a rich treasury.
