Genghis Khan's Trade Empire The Silk Road Under Mongol Rule

The Mongols are famous for conquest, but Genghis Khan also built the largest free-trade zone in history. This episode explores how the Mongol Empire revived the Silk Road, slashed tariffs, protected merchants with the Yassa, and created a single economic system from China to Persia. Lucas and Luna discuss the role of the ortoq merchant partnerships, the spread of paper money, and how Mongol rule enabled the exchange of goods, ideas, and technologies across Eurasia. They touch on the “Pax Mongolica,” the collapse of trade routes after the empire fragmented, and the legacy of Mongol trade in the Renaissance. Names like Ögedei, Kublai, and Marco Polo appear, but the focus is on systems, not individuals. #PaxMongolica #SilkRoad #MongolEmpire #GenghisKhan #Yassa #Ortoq #TradeHistory #MongolTrade #PaperMoney #SteppeDiplomacy #KublaiKhan #OgedeiKhan #MarcoPolo #EurasianHistory #MedievalTrade #MongolEconomy #History #FexingoHistory #SteppeWarriors #YassaCode Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
