Years: 1696 - 1707

Peter triples the revenues of the state treasury through a variety of taxes.

He levies a capitation, or poll tax, on all males except clergy and nobles and imposes a myriad of indirect taxes on alcohol, salt, and even beards.

To provide uniforms and weapons for the military, Peter develops metallurgical and textile industries using serf labor.
