In this video Heimler explains how the land-based empires in the period 1450-1750 consolidated and legitimized their power. As rulers began to centralize their power, they needed ways to exercise their will and convince their people that they were in charge.

Almost all of the empires during this time (Ottoman Empire, Mughal Empire, Qing Dynasty, Tokugawa Shogunate, etc.) established extensive bureaucracies in order to carry out their will. One major function of these bureaucracies was collecting taxes. The Mughals did this through zamindars. The Ottomans had the devshirme system. And other empires similarly executed their wills.
