Annotation: This article examines the land and water reforms implemented in Transoxiana during the reign of Mirzo Ulugh Beg in the 15th century and their significance for the economic life of the state. The study highlights the interconnection between Ulugh Beg's political and economic activities, focusing on the restoration of irrigation systems, the reclamation of new agricultural lands, and the development of agrarian infrastructure. Special attention is given to the forms of land ownership, the practice of granting lands as suyurgal and tarkhan, and the socio-economic role of peasants (dehqans) and tenant farmers (muzariy). The article also analyzes the tax system of the period, including various types of taxes such as kharaj, ushr, zakat, and obligations for forced labor (begar). Furthermore, the paper explores Mirzo Ulugh Beg’s monetary reforms, particularly the introduction of new copper coins ("fulusiy"), and their impact on the growth of trade and economic relations. Overall, the study demonstrates how Ulugh Beg's agrarian and economic policies contributed to the stability and prosperity of Transoxiana, based on historical sources.
