Surprising Facts About The Mongol Empire-The Postal System
Mongols were vagabonds essentially, so effective correspondence between their chiefs and officials was both imperative and very troublesome. They addressed this issue by creating a staggeringly productive postal framework called Yam (or Örtöö, signifying “checkpoint”).Many unfamiliar guests, including Marco Polo himself, were in wonder of Yam’s size and dependability. It was an immense assortment of postal stations, with devoted couriers conveying mail, insight reports, and significant news from one station to another. These stations were around 24-64 kilometers (15-40 mi) separated, and were kept continually staffed. At a certain point, there were something like 1,400 stations in China alone, and the couriers had 50,000 new ponies available to them.
