This was called the qubcur tax, a levy that the nomads paid willingly for the multiple benefits that it brought.\tTerritory linking:\xa0Once the campaigns had settled, Europe and China were territorially linked with Mongolia.\xa0Commerce and travel along the\xa0Silk Route\xa0reached its peak under the Mongols\xa0but, the trade route extended up to Mongolia.\tBaj tax:\xa0\xa0Communication and ease of travel was vital to retain the coherence of the Mongol regime and\xa0travellers were given a pass for safe conduct.
