Answer:

Roads, hospitals, and monuments were built.

Buddhism spread through missionary monks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Asoka was the founder of the Moorish dynasty, and extended the kingdom to the western half of northern India. His endeavor, accompanied by fearsome bloodshed, provoked profound spiritual upheavals at Asoka, after which he embraced Buddhism, which had appeared in Magadha two centuries earlier. Since then, the cruel Asoka has become known as the godly Asoka. In the words of the emperor himself, since then his sound was no longer booming, but the voice of dharma.

During his rule, he pursued an official policy of non-violence. The unnecessary killing and mutilation of animals has been abandoned, such as hunting for hunting and stamping.

Asoka also showed mercy to the captives, allowing them a day of freedom each year, and providing ordinary citizens with free education at universities. He treated subjects as equals regardless of religion, politics or caste and made free hospitals for both humans and animals. Asoka defined the main principles of nonviolence, tolerance of sects and opinions, obedience to parents, respect for teachers and priests, human treatment of servants (slavery did not even exist in India at that time) and generosity to all. These reforms are described by Asoka's edicts.
