Yam relay system (1234)
On the Mongol Empire map as “A yam waystation”
1234 — Ögedei decrees the relay: remount stations every 25–40 km on every road of the empire, fodder and riders ready. An order — or a merchant with a paiza tablet — moves 300 km a day, Hungary to Korea. It is the nervous system the conquests become a state through.
