Detailed explanation-1: -Conquered lands were allowed to retain their native religions, as long as they remained docile under Persian rule. This remarkable tolerance continued under Darius. Honoring an earlier decree by Cyrus, in 519 BC Darius granted the Jews permission to rebuild the Temple of Jerusalem.
Detailed explanation-2: -He divided the empire into some 20 provinces (called satrapy), governed by appointed local officials (satraps) with minimal interference from their Persian overlords. He set the amount of annual tax due from each province and sent agents to watch his distant satraps and ensure they weren’t overtaxing their subjects.
Detailed explanation-3: -6) How did King Darius of Persia reorganize his government to help him rule? He divided the empire into 20 provinces called satrapies, which were ruled by Satraps.
Detailed explanation-4: -Darius organized the empire by dividing it into administrative provinces that were governed by satraps. He organized Achaemenid coinage as a new uniform monetary system, and made Aramaic a co-official language of the empire alongside Persian.
