Government Officials
Trevor:
· So the King has decided he is going to chose a
Governor, a Secretary, and a General for each of the 20 Provinces.
· We have been asked to assign their duties.
Hailey:
· Well I think they should be tax collectors, collecting
gold, silver, sheep, horses,
Trevor:
· wheat and spices too.
All to be sent to the royal treasury in Persepolis.
Hailey:
· How do we make sure that the officials are honest and
not stealing the tax money?
Trevor:
· We will have them each report separately to the King,
that way if one is stealing tax money the others will be se sure to report it.
· What else should we have them do?
Hailey:
· They should also settle local quarrels and protect the
people against bandits.
Trevor:
· That’s a good idea we definitely need someone to do
that.
· The King also wants us to come up with another group
of officials to be his Eyes & Ears throughout the empire.
Hailey:
· Let’s call them Inspectors and they can do surprise
inspections this should help ensure that the provincial officials are doing a
good job.
· They can also decide weather people are able to pay
their taxes.
Trevor:
· We also have see
if there are any rumors going around about possible rebellion against the
empire.
· The last group of officials the empire needs is
judges, they will make sure that the king’s laws are carried out properly.
· I think that covers everything, what do you think?
Hailey:
· I’m happy with it, I think we are ready to take this
to the King for approval. Let’s go……
