I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who made reductions in the taxes that landowner-cultivators were forced to pay?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The small landowner-cultivators formed the majority of the Han tax base; this revenue was threatened during the latter half of Eastern Han when many peasants fell into debt and were forced to work as farming tenants for wealthy landlords.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
