Question

how did safer trade routes under the mongols benefit china? by increasing taxes on chinese merchants by limiting trade to asian countries only by reducing foreign influence by increasing the exchange of goods and ideas

Explanation:

Safer trade routes under the Mongols promoted more extensive interactions. Increased exchange of goods and ideas is a well - known positive outcome of improved trade connectivity. Tax increase on merchants would be a negative impact. Limiting trade to Asia only is not in line with the historical fact that Mongol - era trade had broader reach. Reducing foreign influence contradicts the nature of trade which enhances interactions.

Answer:

By increasing the exchange of goods and ideas.
