I am talking about the Siege of Baghdad (1258). You are talking about a period of time after the death of Kublai Khan (1294) where the Mongols were already divided into smaller regions. Anyways, if you want to be a eurocentric revisionist,

How much of an issue is it? The kind of issue do not want to have: issues with money that can go very wrong when calculating discounts, tax percentages, interest or whatever.
