Kokudaka
Kokudaka (石高) refers to a system for determining land value for taxation purposes under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan, and expressing this value in terms of koku of rice.
One 'koku' (roughly equivalent to five bushels) was generally viewed as the equivalent of enough rice to feed one person for a year. The actual revenue or income derived holding varied from region to region, and depended on the amount of actual control the fief holder held over the territory in question, but averaged around 40 percent of the theoretical kokudaka.
The amount taxation was not based on the actual quantity of rice harvested, but was an estimate based on the total economic yield of the land in question, with the value of other crops and produce converted to their equivalent value in terms of rice.
The ranking of precedence of the daimyo, or feudal rulers, was determined in part by the kokudaka of the territories under their administration. In 1650, the total kokudaka of Japan was assessed at 26 million koku, with the Shogun directly controlling 4.2 million koku.

'cause i've been living inside your dream.

And more if you want me to.

We'll watch the sun come down together,
And I will be your everything.

We'll be careless and free,
Just you and I and no do's an don'ts.

To do exactly what you want.

To be all you ever dreamed,
Dreamed that you could be,
And you could be just anything.

You'll be fearless with me,
You'll be weightless with me.

I wanna watch you fly to the sky tonight.
