Answer

By the use of Land Grants to Bureaucrats

Step-by-step explanation

Mughal Empire under Emperor Akbar was at a beautiful height since he expanded the empire that Babur and Humayun had built on. In order to ensure that feudal aristocracy was not prevailing in the lands that he had captured and ruled, Akbar went on to give away lands as lifetime grants to his court bureaucrats. This meant that land could not be hoarded by a single family and that each bureaucrat would manage his portion efficiently.
