plz explain me this in simple words​

Answer 1

Explanation:

It allowed the government to deal directly with the cultivator ('ryot') for revenue collection and gave the peasant freedom to cede or acquire new land for cultivation. The peasant was assessed for only the lands that they cultivated. Shivaji abolished the Jagirdari System and replaced with Ryotwari System somewhere in mid 1600s, and changes in the position of hereditary revenue officials which was popularly known as Deshmukhs, Deshpande, Patils and Kulkarnis.
