Well, first of all Mansa musa broke the empire into provinces and each province had many villages. Each village contained a mayor. This system made it easy for Mansa to handle mangament of the empire. Another thing he did was create the gold- salt trade which made Mansa very rich. The last thing he did was his biggest accomplishment. He traveled to Mecca surrounded by guards and luxury. He gave away gold freely which dropped the worth of gold dramatically. He also spread Islam throughout the region. This trip was 3000 miles and was alll accomplished on camel.

Musa I was the tenth Mansa, or Emperor of Mali Empire. He became well-known for his pilgrimage to Mecca, with a procession of 60,000 men and 12,000 slaves. Mansa Musa not only fed and provided for the procession, but also gave gold to the poor along his route, and built a mosque every Friday.
