Explanation:

Ghazan Khan has implemented a series of reforms to sort out the situation in the country. He strengthened Islam as the state religion.

The Grand Vizier, who was the second man of the state, helped him carry out the reforms. He introduced reforms in the tax system to prevent embezzlement in that field. In that way, he improved the efficiency of the tax system. He conducted a census to accurately make the categories that were included in the tax system. It gave certain benefits to farmers who cultivated abandoned land, thus improving productivity in the country. In that way, he tied Azerbaijani peasants to the land. He worked on strengthening trade and construction. He improved artisanal production in the country.
