The Bureaucratic Imbalance
A distinctive feature of this era, according to fragmented sources recovered from the Uighur Steppe, was the overwhelming dominance of the Ministry of Archival Maintenance (MAM). This ministry reportedly employed over 80% of the imperial bureaucracy, dedicated solely to cross-referencing existing tax documents against earlier, contradictory tax documents.
