Kublai Khan appointed relatives, other Mongols, and trusted foreigners to important government positions. ... Hiring scholars hurt China in two ways: (1) people that knew science, math, and engineering were kept out of government (2) Confucian scholars had little respect for merchants - trade/business were not encouraged.
