A list of puns related to "Defter"
Keşke kedi olsam miyaw. Harbiden benden kedi olur mu acaba?
With the Crusade over, we can finally get to integrating the ports and cities acquired from Venice into the superior Ottoman system of administration. This starts by sending officials who take a survey of the towns and lands of the territories, getting counts of livestock, orchards, and other taxable things. They then review the taxes the territories paid under the previous administration, disposing of those that are not acceptable in Islam. Finally, a headcount of the territories, to know their general populations.
Finally, all this information is compiled into a defter, where their tax obligations are recorded. These taxes are essentially the same as the taxes they would have paid previously, a policy that reduces unrest and reduces resistance to the new administration. Land is then divided into Timars, under the supervision of Timariot Sipahis.
This process is undertaken now in the former Venetian possessions recently acquired in Morea, Epirus, and Albania. They will be turned into productive provinces under Ottoman authority. Ghazis who fought in the Crusade will be given properties in and around those cities that were sacked, helping to repopulate the territories.
