Answer:
Explanation:
Not only did the Company increase the tribute rate fivefold, it also insisted that the tribute be paid in cash, not produce or other farm products.
The Company also had edicts issued that outlawed the hoarding of rice and other staples.
This meant that the peasants had to dump their goods on a British-controlled market, and that they had no staple reserves, in the event of a crop failure or bad weather.
