Heinlein's Ghost User ID: 30997048 United States 02/25/2015 09:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Who needs money when you have a bow, five horses and a sea of grass? These are men who could ride, starving and tired, across giant wastelands, to the doorstep of your castle, drink blood directly from a horse to recover their strength, then burn down your shit and live off your food. Eventually, they made money by taxing the trade routes they maintained. Ironically, it was their modernization that made them drunk and fat and worthless, so it was kinda the opposite of what you were asking. Was it for shits and giggles? I guess it was in their nature. China was already maintaining a wall against the Mongol tribes and playing them off each other when Temujin got pissed and united the tribes. Could you imagine, at that time, an army of 25000 mounted bowman, the fastest, most powerful thing on the planet? Scary shit. |

Not that this was the source of the finance, but it surely opened up some trading routes.

So if they had paper money even then they lived under the same system we lived in and they were not just roaming Mongol warlords but had some kind of system in place. reminds me of nostradamus kill of the Mongols . could Isis be the reincarnation of the mongols? |

Like I said, the mongols' system of paper fiat currency was strictly regulated. They were the good guys. What my paesans and the non-gentiles did with paper currency in the west, especially in the last century or so is another matter entirely. |

Never. Muslims don't have the same kind of balls as the Mongols did.
