A
The first organized system that was ud to nd messages began in Egypt around 1500 B.C. This system developed becau the pharaohs (法老王) frequently needed to nd messages up and down the Nile River in order to keep their empire running smoothly. Later, the Persians (波斯人) developed a more efficient system for nding messages using men and hors. Message carriers rode along the road system stretching from one end of the Persian Empire to the other.
The problem with early systems for nding messages was that only the government was allowed to nd messages. Business and other people had to find their own ways for delivering messages to distant places. Later, with the fall of the Roman Empire, organized postal systems almost completely disappeared in Europe for 600 years. 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 difference was that Kublai Khan kept 300,000 hors along the roads of his delivery lines.
