Later, the Persians developed a more efficient system for sending messages using men and horses. Messages carriers rode along the road syst

12、em stretching from one end of the Persian Empire to the other. Along these roads, fresh men and horses waited at special stations to take and pass along any messages that needed to be sent. The stations where riders passed messages back and forth were built 23 kilometers apart, so the men and horses

13、 were able to travel quickly between them. The Romans later took up his idea and improved it by using a more advanced and extensive road system.In China, however, Kublai Khan had built up his own system for delivering messages. This system worked in the same basic way as the Roman system. The differ

14、ence was that Kublai Khan kept 300,000 horses along the roads of this delivery lines. There were over 10,000 stations where a message would be passed from one rider to another with a fresh horse.

15、ot until the 1500s that a well-organized postal system appeared again in Europe. One family, the von Taxis family, gained the right to deliver mail for the Holy Roman Empire and parts of Spain. This family continued to carry mail, both government and private, throughout Europe for almost 300 years.I

16、n 1653, a Frenchman, Renouard de Velayer, established a system for delivering post in Paris.

However, in 1840, a British schoolteacher named Roland Hill suggested introducing postage stamps, and a postal rate based on weight. This result

19、ed in lowering postal rates, encouraging more people to use the system to stay in touch with each other, His idea helped the British postal system begin to earn profits as early as 1850.
