Answer:

Assassinate anyone who was caught sharing the secret to outsiders or taking silkworms out of the province

Step-by-step explanation:

Kings and royalty from other countries had a demand for silk clothing, and China was able to provide such. Anyone caught telling the secret or taking silkworms out of China was put to death.
