Bureaucracy

Central Secretariat

central_secretariat_bureaucracy

The Zhōngshū Shěng was the Yuán dynasty's supreme civil administrative body, directing all governance across the empire from the capital. A well-funded Secretariat legitimizes the dynasty's authority through decisive, coordinated rule — but when its operations are neglected, the resulting administrative chaos raises the cost of every political decision the crown must make.
