PASSAGE
"The Mongols made no contributions to the world's civilizations. For the most part they were destroyers, not creators. True, they fostered trade and communications throughout their vast empire, but this was not a primary objective; it was a byproduct of their pax, or peace, which was itself a consequence of their overwhelmingly destructive conquests. By the time the Mongols appeared on the world stage, the great trade routes between East and West had been in existence for centuries. The Mongols did not create the Silk Road; they merely inherited it. And their vaunted 'religious tolerance' was less a matter of principle than of indifference to the beliefs of their subjects, so long as those subjects remained docile and paid their tribute."
The passage describes a particular perspective on the Mongol Empire's role in Afro-Eurasian connectivity. A historian arguing against the central claim of this passage would most likely emphasize which of the following pieces of evidence related to post-classical trade networks?
