Under the unified Mongol Empire, the lacquer trade of the Maritime Silk Road saw significant progress and innovation in various aspects such as the market shipping system, taxation reform, transportation and logistics improvement, and the establishment of a lacquer works office under the local defense organization. Emperor Yuan Shizu ordered the imperial chancellery to oversee the production and re-establish a market shipping office (Shibo Si) in Quanzhou. Vassal states sincerely offered tributes and engaged in mutual trade, creating a continuous flow of merchants and traders across the country.
