Question: What perk did religious leaders, teachers, and doctors get in the Mongol Empire?

Answer: tax exemptions

Various Mongol tribes were Shamanist, Buddhist or Christian. Religious tolerance was thus a well established concept on the Asian steppe.

Answer: Chu'Tsai

Genghis Khan realised that he needed people who could govern cities and states conquered by him.
