Their great army of dependents in the two hundred boards and officers of the capi- tal were paid their salaries half in grain and half in paper money. What the cabinet had to do was to amalgamate north and south as best they could. The Cathay of European old geography was North China, which had then been a separate kingdom during a century and a half. The Manji of old geographers was South China also, including Hupeh and Szechuan. This great political achievement of the Yuen dynasty syn- chroni...sed with the change brought about in agriculture by the increasing dryness of the climate. The time had come when millet, raised by dry agriculture had replaced rice, raised by wet agri- culture, all over the north. The Mon- gols drove out the Golden Tartars from North China and conquered from the Chao imperial family the whole of rice- growing China. If any one will look into Kang-hi's Dictionary under tao, " rice, " he will find it stated that the Yun-hivei, a dictionary of the Yuen dynasty, re- marks of tao, that it is the white rice now cultivated in the south for the people's ordinary food.
