Detailed Solution

The given statement is True.
The Silk route connected China to far Eastern Europe. This route was important for trade in articles, commodities, and silk, which gave it its name. The route was made up of high and rough mountains and narrow passes, which did not make it an easy journey for travellers. But the presence and attacks of robbers on these routes and the high demand for the payment taken by residents who lived on these routes made it hard for travellers to travel. In the kingdoms which flourished on this territory, the kings felt it was their responsibility to protect the travellers from the dangers on their route, and in return, they would get taxes from these traders, helping to flourish the trade. A flourishing trade would bring more taxes and tributes to these kings.
