Certainly the road and the caravanserai were one of the issues that could fulfill some of this. In the Islamic lands, the Silk Road was a vital part of the highway between East and West. There were numerous subways along this highway, and the important cities on the roads were definitely one of these Neyshabur. Called the east of the metropolis. The geographical and climatic conditions of Neyshabur helped to extend these routes east to Neyshabur, and from there to other areas, until the Mongol invasion and somehow after the Mongol invasion until the Qajar era.
