During the [[Menghe#History|Menghean Warring States period]] (to 180 BCE), rulers sought to strengthen the financial and political position of the crown at the expense of feudal land tenures; those of the latter annexed were districted into counties and formed the royal {{wp|demesne}}Fiscally, the counties were supervised by a non-hereditary, administrative officer bearing the title "Inner Clerk", but they otherwise directly answered to the central governmentWhen the states, particularly Meng, expanded, more distant counties were placed under prefects, while those near to the traditional territories remained under the central government and Inner Clerk.  Themiclesia was united following the [[Hexarchy]] by the Tsjinh state around the mid-3rd century, and the traditional territories of the Tsjinh, near its capital city, were governed by its Inner Clerk along the Menghean model.

The Inner Region (內史, nubh-srje′; abbr. IAR) is a statutory administrative division of Themiclesia that contains the capital city Kien-k'ang.

History

In 285, the Tsins ruler divided his realm into a number of provinces, each consisting of several villages (邑, qrep) under a viceroy (守, n′uq). Larger cities and their peripheries were exempt from viceregal rule and remained either autonomous or under royal authority. The periphery of Tsins itself was not part of any province, and its village elders and landowners paid dues directly to the Exchequer. The "Exchequer" therefore became the name of the area around that city.
