@eliphas: I explained why it would help the Yuan. There’s no other way to get a small number of people producing a lot.
Think about it, guys: there’s not many other ways to do this. It’s rather silly for one to imagine Mongolia becoming industrial: Mongolia isn’t right for that sort of economy. It’s rather silly for, say, an industrial Mongol Russia or Persia to happen, because that’s not really Mongols being industrial.
You do realize that this would set them back right? I mean a better idea is just to have the Yuan not destroy the Infrastructure and proto-industrial developments and preside over a scientific revolution as the elite in China. On a different level too this is stupid because the Mongols wouldnt settle down and farm in this situation, they would continue their way of life only in a more prosperous region with more grazing land which provides no impetus to settle down and farm.
