章 94: Trade Routes

Genghis Khan's policies and accomplishments in trade and governance were remarkable for his time. 

He implemented measures to promote safe travel, protect diplomats and merchants, and facilitate the movement of goods along the Silk Road. 

His empire thrived under the policy of fostering economic growth and cultural exchange creating the Pax Mongolica.

Genghis Khan established the concept of passports to protect diplomats, merchants, and messengers.

As part of his plan to grow the economic might of the Mongol Empire, Genghis Khan established most new settlements along the trade routes based on the ancient Silk Road that connected the great civilizations of the west and the east. 

He then forced much of the population to settle along these main roads, especially those experienced in commerce or with valuable skills such as blacksmiths, in order to facilitate the movement of goods from one place to another.
