Best Answer

They were provincial governors who administered the province, while leaving local city and tribal administrtions to continue to run and fund their secular and religious affairs.

They oversaw collection and remission of imperial taxes, kept order, ran the imperial post service, defended against internal or external aggression, and raised army and naval levies for imperial defence and wars.
