Point out the features of the Courier system introduced by Genghis Khan.
Answers
Answer:
The post offices were 15 to 40 miles apart and had dependable employees. Food, housing, and spare horses would be provided to couriers arriving at mail stations. Couriers were thought to be able to cover 20-30 miles per day. The efficacy of this early postal system was attested to by foreign observers such as Marco Polo.
Genghis Khan used and expanded the Yam supply point route messenger system, which was subsequently used by later Great Khans and Khans.
Mongol army messengers were given food, shelter, and spare horses at relay stations.

Genghis Khan had developed a rapid courier system that connected the distant areas of his regime. Fresh mounts and dispatch riders were placed in outposts at regularly spaced distances. For the maintenance of this communication system the Mongol nomads contributed a tenth of their herd. This was called the qubcur tax. The courier system (yam) was further refined after Genghis Khan’s death and its speed and reliability surprised travelers.
