Paiza or Paizi or Gerege (Mongolian: Пайз, Middle Mongolian: Гэрэгэ, Persian: paiza, Chinese: 牌子; páizi) is a tablet of authority for the Mongol officials and envoys. This enabled the Mongol nobles and officials to demand goods and services from civilian populations.
Although, only someone with paiza was allowed to supply with remounts and served specified rations, those carrying military rarities used the yam (route) even without a paiza. The officials and nobles of the Mongol Empire issued paizas unofficially and abused civils. Therefore, Ögedei Khan (r. 1229–1241) prohibited the nobility from issuing paizas and jarliqs.
To attract foreign or overseas merchants and talents, the Great Khans gave them paiza exempting taxes and allowed to use relay stations. However, Mongke Khan (r. 1251–1259) limited notorious abuses and sent imperial investigators to supervise the business of the merchants who were sponsored by the Mongols. He prohibited them from using the imperial relay stations or yam (zam) and paizas.
I don't wanna work all day
I don't wanna dress in grey, no
I used to be keen, the brightest boy in school
Now it's all through, 'cause I'm lonely without you
I don't wanna work all day
I don't wanna dress in grey, no
I used to be keen, the brightest boy in school
Now it's all through, 'cause I'm lonely without you
It's just another
It's just another
Another lonely schoolday
It's just another
It's just another
Another lonely schoolday
I don't wanna work all day
I don't wanna make the grade, no
I used to be keen, the brightest boy in school
Now it's all through, 'cause I'm lonely without you
Yeah - yeah, yeah - yeah
