What role did the Yam play in the expansion of the Mongol Empire?

The Yam was the Mongol Empire’s relay and postal system, with stations where messengers could rest, change horses, and pass along messages. This helped rulers communicate across vast distances and gather information, so it also functioned as a spy network. It was not a law code, a lending system, or a period of peace.
