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:

Under the Mongols, safer trade routes like the Silk Road allowed for more extensive trade. Increasing taxes on merchants would not be a benefit. Limiting trade to Asia is incorrect as the Mongol - controlled routes connected Asia to Europe. Reducing foreign influence is also wrong because trade routes promote interaction. Safer routes facilitated more trade, which means more exchange of goods (like silk, spices) and ideas (such as technologies, religions, and cultural practices) between different regions.

Answer:

By increasing the exchange of goods and ideas.
