Darius the Great divided the empire into 20 provinces called satrapies. Also, he gave the 20 provinces Satraps, or governors. Then he made the roads bigger and more efficient.
For example, one Greek historian wrote: "Nothing mortal travels so fast as these Persian Messengers ... these men will not be hindered from accomplishing at their best speed the distance which they have to go, either by snow, or rain, or heat, or by the darkness of night."
-Herodotus, from the "History of the Persian Wars"
