The prospect of tax revenues convinced Mongols to slaughter fewer conquered peoples, advocated for by Yelü Chucai (耶律楚材), a statesman of Khitan and Liao Dynasty heritage. Ogedai Khan reportedly* mocked him, asking "Are you going to weep for the people again?" In response to betrayal and tough resistance the Mongol army faced while trying to conquer the Jurchen Jin's southern capital of Kaifeng, some Mongol officers in high command recommended the complete razing of Kaifeng and the deaths of all its occupants. Yelü Chucai convinced Genghis Khan to rule and tax the people instead, and make use of their superb skills. Yelü Chucai was six-foot eight-inches tall and had a waist-length beard. *Empire of the Steppes, René Grousett

Thanks, Mark. I saw a toddler saddle in Mongolia, a rope construct that included lashing the child's ankles together under the horse's belly.

By a quirk of nature, the Chinese struggled to create an effective cavalry force because Chinese soil lacks selenium, a mineral essential to the breeding of sturdy horses. They could only import their mounts from the steppes, something the nomads often agreed to, safe in the knowledge that the buyer must soon come back looking for replacements. It was as if, during the early twentieth century, one side always had a monopoly of tanks. _____________________________________________________ Under the Tang, the influence of nomads was so strong that the Chinese came to adopt many barbarian customs, from sitting in chairs to wearing trousers. _____________________________________________________ In the old Yuan dynasty imperial hunting parks to the south, peasants developed an ingenious method of market gardening, which enabled them to supply the court all year round. They built greenhouses heated by pits dug beneath the carefully tended seed beds. _____________________________________________________ Junipers are planted at tombs, not just because their twisting and curling trunks look like dragons but the Chinese once believed that their branches housed strange creatures called wang liang that frightened off evil spirits. - City of Tranquility by Jasper Becker
