Constructive rulers

History is full of people who raided weaker and plundered everything that came on their way. But there are people, who did some constructive work for public welfare. Built roads, inns for travelers, water courses, etc.

lets talk about such rulers in this thread who were more constructive than being destructive.

I start with Sher Shah Suri, who got India’s rule by defeating Mughal emperor Humayon and started wonderful projects like G T Road.
