When the Mongols conquered the world's largest contiguous empire, they needed to understand who they ruled—and how to tax them. This episode explores the Mongol census, a massive administrative undertaking that transformed how the empire governed from Korea to Persia. We dive into the detailed registers compiled under Genghis Khan's successors, the controversial poll taxes that sparked revolts, and the secret censuses hidden from Mongol officials. We also examine how the Mongols borrowed census traditions from the Chinese and Persians they conquered, and how their statistical surveys influenced later states from Muscovy to Mughal India. Expect specific names like Shigi Qutuqu, the first Mongol census commissioner, and figures from the Jami' al-tawarikh. We'll also discuss the 13th-century census of China under Khubilai Khan, the counting of households in Iran under the Ilkhanate, and how the census data enabled the Yam postal system and military conscription. A look at how counting people built—and sometimes broke—an empire. #MongolEmpire #Census #ShigiQutuqu #Yassa #Juvayni #RashidalDin #JamiAltawarikh #KhubilaiKhan #Ilkhanate #YuanDynasty #Taxation #HouseholdRegistration #PaxMongolica #MedievalHistory #CentralAsia #China #Persia #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
