Julia Leno Dr. Connellan ? 6 AP World History 24 November 2012 Chapter 14-15 Outline Great Khan Ogodei told his Confucian advisor that he planned to turn the heavily populated North China Plain into a pasture for livestock. Yelu (advisor) argued that taxing the existing cities and villages would bring greater wealth but the Khan took the gentler approach although the tax system he instituted was not the fixed-rate method traditional to China but the oppressive tax farming already in use in the Il-khan empires in the Middle East. Benefits of oppressive tax farming: Trade Science Technology Transportation Communication The Mongols also forced exchange of experts and advisers between eastern and western Eurasia. This led to the rapid spread of information, ideas and skills.

Documents of the legendary Khan?s early life are very limited and contradictory. He was most likely born in 1162, although some sources believe he was born in 1155 or 1165. It is believed that khan was given the name Temujin. Khan?s father Yesukhei was the leader of the minor Borijin society of nomadic Mongols, who lived by hunting instead than gathering. Yesukhei took away Temujin's mother, Hoelun, as she and her first husband came home from their wedding. She became Yesukhei's second spouse; Temujin was his second son by just a few months. Mongol legend says that the baby was born with a blood-clot in his fist is a sign that he is going to become a true warrior.
