Silk was not only important for just any handy resource to craft or make something useful or important for life but it was mainly in demand due to the fact that it was a significant factor in the development of several cultures. I don't know if this takes your question head on but I hope it helps :)

stellarik [79]

The cattle drive is advantageous to allow a drive to come by.

  • More and more cattle people should transfer, therefore more revenue you produced whenever you offered them at either the conclusion of your journey.
  • The average drive comprised of between 1,000 and 3,000 cattle. With that kind of the vast number of livestock, it was extremely lucrative for a town to allow a journey to travel across, or even just to render it their target until the railroad companies had started to develop.
