He dug irrigation canals, enabling farming to flourish in the conquered lands and making people prosperous. He built defensive fortresses and walls to provide safety to city inhabitants. Each city had its own patron deity and gods had to be taken care of in order to assure the people of prosperity.
I hope this helps you out!

He instituted his famous code of laws (c. 1772 BCE), paid careful attention to the needs of the people, improved irrigation of fields and maintenance of the infrastructures of the cities under his control, while also building opulent temples to the gods
