It is carried on through three principal officials. The first is the chief Wazir, who is first minister and principal counsellor. He it is who has charge of letting out the lands on rent, and collecting from them the income for the benefit of the Crown. He it is, also, who confers all offices, as well upon the nobles as upon subordinates. The second high official is the Diwan of the salaries. His duties are the receiving all the revenues of the empire, the realizing the property of deceased persons, whether nobles or poor men. It is also his duty to resume the property of those persons who are removed from the service ; he also carries out any alteration in offices or in allowances. The third great official is the Mir Saman. He has charge of the whole expenditure of the royal household in reference to both great and small things. - [Previous: 213.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.213.6) - [Next: 213.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.213.8) - [Up: 213](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.213) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.213.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.213.7) · Pramāṇa
