The distances of up to 5,000 km were always a massive problem when you think of receiving intelligence and responding to it at 5km/hour - up to six weeks. He had two responses - use of boats on sea and river, and posting houses with relays of horses for roads. Having these established system in place provided the best available response to an otherwise impossible communications system, to allow governors and king to respond to problems in a timely way.
