In the Qing Dynasty, there were six ministers, namely, officials, households, ceremonies, soldiers, criminals and workers, all of whom were officials with a taste and held all aspects of the country's operation. In addition, there were 1 1 governors in the Qing Dynasty, namely, the governor of grain transportation, the governor of rivers, the governor of Zhili, the governor of Sichuan, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, the governor of the three northeastern provinces, and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi ... Jane was all positive and one level lower than the ministers. But some part-time governors may be equal to or even higher than Shangshu. For example, a college student who is also the governor of a province is a senior official, which is higher than the official title of Shangshu. If a minister is also the governor of a province, he will be an official with the same rank as a minister. Therefore, on the whole, the official title of Shangshu is higher than that of the governor, but it needs specific analysis.
However, the power of ministers in the Qing Dynasty was very small, and the power was concentrated in the hands of the emperor. Ministers are all clerks, and their power is overhead. The emperor can directly issue orders to six ministers. The governor holds the military and political power of the province, is the highest head of the province and has real power. Especially in the late Qing Dynasty, the government's control over local governments declined, and many government ministers, such as Zuo and Li Hongzhang, appeared, with great power, and the ministers were not worth mentioning at all.
So officially speaking, Shangshu has a higher status, but there are also special circumstances. Judging from whether there is real power, the governor has real power and the ministers have no real power.
