    drafted by his Persian wazir Rashiduddin and included in the minister’s letters : ‘I am not
    on the side of the Persian peasantry. If there is a purpose in pillaging them all, there is no
    one with more power to do this than I. Let us rob them together. But if you wish to be
    certain of collecting grain and food for your tables in the future, I must be harsh with you.
    You must be taught reason. If you insult the peasantry, take their oxen and seed and
