<em>The reasons why Eastern luxuries were expensive were “high prices in China, production difficulties, the distance they had to be brought, taxes en route, and high wages for workers.
</em>
Eastern luxuries did not exist in Western countries. Rich people in Europe were able to pay for them. They were wealthy and could afford the high prices for luxurious things that were exclusive. The transportation cost from long distances, the risks it implied, the constant taxation in the road, the difficult and detailed production of the products and the considerable high wages for the workers that produced the luxurious things really increased the prices and only rich, noble people could afford to pay for them.

Explanation:
The emperors of ancient China had tremendous power and responsibility. Called the 'Son of Heaven', he (and once she) was given a divine right to rule over all people but was expected to promote their best interest and not his own. An absolute monarch, although in practice dependent on an inner circle of advisors, the mystique of the emperor was enhanced by his invisibility to ordinary people, secluded as he often was in the imperial palace. To gain a personal audience with the emperor, even if he still remained hidden behind a screen while he sat on his golden dragon throne, was the highest of honours. Perhaps no other ancient ruler was ever as remote or as revered as the Emperor of China.
Mandate of Heaven
The rulers of the Western Zhou dynasty were the first to take the traditional Chinese worship of ancestors a step further and carry the title 'Son of Heaven' (Tianzi). King Wen of the Zhou, c. 1050 BCE, claimed he, and, as it conveniently tuned out, all of his successors too, had been given the right to rule by the gods (either Heaven or Sky). This was nothing less than a Mandate of Heaven or Tianming, that is, an unchallengeable right to govern. Not actually divine but, rather, ruling on behalf of the gods on earth, the role also carried the great responsibility to take decisions for the good of the people. If he did not rule well, then China would suffer terrible disasters such as floods and droughts and he would lose the right to govern. This was also a useful explanation as to why ruling dynasties changed over the centuries: they had lost the blessing of heaven through misrule.
