The Great Jin's system separates civilian from military affairs. Although the Six Gates lead at the local level, they only handle military matters, while civilian affairs are managed by the civil servants, specifically the governors' office.
The governor is considered the deputy of the governor of the Six Gates.
Of course, the Six Gates offices at the state level are very large, naturally requiring officials to manage logistics, which is considered a civilian role.
People like Gu Xianyu from aristocratic families are often arranged to take on civilian positions; this is an unspoken rule.
Chen Ming had heard about this from Wu Zhenhang.
At that time, he already had an idea of what position he wanted to choose, believing the senior members of the Six Gates would give some face to the Gu Family.
Sure enough, he successfully became a Fifth Grade Prison Director.
To him, this was a dream position.
