# The book claims service including a Yangzhou stay; a governorship is not established here

Date: 1282

## The fact

Il Milione claims lengthy Yuan service and a Yangzhou stay. It is not a fake 1282 decree. Marco Polo's documented role is: The Travels claim years of service and a Yangzhou sojourn. Chinese sources do not confirm a Polo governorship in this catalog. The Fact stores the claim-and-gap, not a fake office.

## Context

Later scholars argue extent of travel. Sharing the gap with that debate is required. The setting of The book claims service including a Yangzhou stay; a governorship is not established here is the public file around 1282-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [personal-data-protection](/drivers/personal-data-protection) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Shared responsibility is part of The book claims service including a Yangzhou stay; a governorship is not established here. Naming Marco Polo does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1282-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

## Evidence and sources

Britannica independently flags the Yangzhou/governorship dispute. Gutenberg carries the book's later English. Official carrier: Project Gutenberg — Travels, Yangzhou passages as later English (https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/10636; Project Gutenberg). Independent carrier: Britannica — Marco Polo, disputed Yangzhou role (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Marco-Polo; Encyclopaedia Britannica).

## Significance

Worsening opacity path of low-to-medium weight. Complex. Low confidence on unique office. The welfare reading on this path is worsening.

## What is established and what is not

Established: the book claims service. Not established: a Yuan governorship tablet naming him. Established: a sourced public record of The book claims service including a Yangzhou stay; a governorship is not established here under 1282-01-01.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not promote the claim to a dated governorship Fact. Mixed effects of The book claims service including a Yangzhou stay; a governorship is not established here are separate paths.

The attached driver is personal-data-protection. The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
