Halve the taxes

You have tried your best and did what you could... They have surely done the same. It wasn't their fault the crops failed. You look at all the sad faces around you... You can't bring yourself to demand more coin of them than what they are capable of, so you decide to halve the taxes for this year, which means 250 gold. You know honour, when you see your people are in need, you answer their call. However, this way you will have to find money elsewhere.
