Content: Kublai Khan established eleven provinces in Yuan Shizu, including Henan, Jiangxi, Sichuan and Yunnan. , referred to as province. Each province has officials such as the Prime Minister and Pingzhang, who are in charge of the military and political affairs of their respective governments, railways, Sichuan and counties. Since the Yuan Dynasty, provinces have become the highest local administrative regions.
Function: The establishment of the provincial system not only facilitates the central government's management of local governments, but also has great significance for strengthening centralization, especially for adjusting the relationship between the central government and local governments. It also effectively prevents local authorities from easily leaving the central government when their power is too great.
Extended data:
The provincial system of the Yuan Dynasty was not divided according to regional culture, but random, and the domestic culture was very different, so it was unlikely to be divided together during the rebellion.
The provincial system of the Yuan Dynasty stipulated that major civil affairs in all provinces should be reported to Zhongshu Province. Military and political affairs need to be reported to the Privy Council. Without the imperial edict of the central government, administrative officials can neither change the tax system nor mobilize the army.
Provincial officials must also meet with the emperor regularly and report on their work. In order to ensure that provincial officials do their duty, the central government uses supervisory agencies to supervise them, and at the same time controls them by moving provincial officials to each other.
This political system was used by later generations in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After the founding of New China, the provincial system was also implemented. Although there have been some changes in later generations, the framework has remained basically unchanged.
