Ivan the first was the leader of Moscow, an isolated area, and struck a deal with the Mongols for collecting tribute: Moscow would bring the Mongols tribute, as well as collecting it from the surrounding areas. Therefore, Moscow was able to make more money, and build an army, reinforce the Kremlin and gather resources to rebel against the Mongols later.
