To rule his empire successfully, Hammurabi instructed his own governors to teach local rulers. Hammurabi emphasized the importance of local governance and administered a system in which local rulers were educated on his laws and policies to ensure consistent rule across his empire. This was part of his broader strategy to maintain order and stability throughout the regions under his control.
