He had to put an infrastructure together.

Infrastructure connected to Empire.

Manilek, he brings in, get this, he brings in new roads, connecting the provinces that had been isolated for centuries.

He built stone buildings, replacing temporary structures.

He built bridges, spanning rivers that had divided regions.

Okay, across vast distances, workshops for firearms, textiles and tools, mills and manufacturing spaces.

So he put a infrastructure in place.

This is the system.
