  Mongol Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the time of Genghis Khan's death in 1227, the empire was divided among his four sons, with his third son as the supreme Khan, and by the 1350s, the khanates were in a state of fracture and had lost the order brought to them by Genghis Khan.
Genghis Khan also created a national seal, encouraged the use of a written alphabet in Mongolia, and exempted teachers, lawyers, and artists from taxes, although taxes were heavy on all other subjects of the empire.
Accompanying the crystallization of regional states was the decline of nomad power, partly due to the devastation of the Black Death and partly due to the encroachment of sedentary civilizations equipped with gunpowder.

 The Yasa of Chingis Khan. A code of honor, dignity and excellence
As it was stated earlier, refusal to accept the need for value judgment and standards is in principle similar to cutting off the legs of people to avoid the alleged pain for those who might feel inferior because someone is better.
