Working for the Khan
Marco knew that his first journey for the Khan was very importannt
So he wrote down careful descriptions of everrything on his route-tha people,the buildings
and the different places
When he returned he told Kublai Khan allabout them
and this
of couse
pleased the grat ruler very much
For the next seventeen years
Marco worked for the Khan in this huge empire and the two men became like father and son
The Khan gave Marco a special gold passport
and he could then move freely about the Mongol Empire-just like his father and uncle years before
On his journeys for the Khan
Marco wore fine clothes
and travelled with a large number of servants
he was now a very important man
