Answer:
Economy
As a predominately rural empire, agricultural production was at the center of the Mughal economy. Mughal administrators made their way to rural areas, and along with local leaders, urged villagers to clear forests for farming and harvesting various goods for market. Soon Mughal farmers were growing and exporting large quantities of highly valued agricultural commodities, such as tobacco, cotton, sugarcane, pepper, ginger, indigo, opium, and even silk.
The Mughal rulers made sure to bring in revenue by taxing these agricultural goods. Scholars and bureaucrats studied many years of production in order to calculate uniform tax rates. Farmers and villages paid taxes on their goods with silver or copper coins. As agricultural lands expanded in the 17th and 18th centuries, Mughal economic growth boomed, and the economy came to be worth hundreds of millions of rupees per year.
Currency
The Mughals adopted and standardised the rupee (rupiya, or silver) and dam (copper) currencies introduced by Sur Emperor Sher Shah Suri during his brief rule.
