고려 충선왕대 지방제도의 개편

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the serial process of reorganizing the local system in 1308(Reinstatement of King Chungseon) and 1310. The result from supplementing and organizing the be missing history on 『Goryeosa(高麗史)』 Jiriji(地理志) showed that Eupkyuk(邑格) was an important variable at the moment of reorganization. The 14 Mok(牧)s were regions which were promoted from 7 Dohobu(都護府) regions and 7 Jijubugun(知州府郡). The actual local taxation was reflected by selecting the regions with higher grade among units below Mok unit first and considering the scale in do unit. As a result, total of 25 Moks were operated in the whole country. A large-scale division of areas was carried out by increasing the number of Gaesugwan(界首官). Also, in 1308 to 1310, high-ranking government officials who applicable to Geomgyojaeshin(檢校宰臣) were sent as Moksa(牧使). In response to the political climate of merging government offices and reducing government officials, the number of high-ranking government officials also reduced. This led Daeshin(大臣) to be sent on 25 Moks and they had powerful executive force on local administration such as participating on Jeonmingyejeom(田民計點) project. However, as ‘Taejeomok(汰諸牧)’ took place in 1310 after 2 years, it was readjusted based on the existing upper-lower relationship of the Eupkyuk. As a result, existing mok and Daedohobu(大都護府) were maintained as Mok while the newly established 14 Moks were degraded to Bu(府) similar to Dohobu. The grade of Gyeong(京), Mok, Daedohobu > Dohobu > Jijubugun > Hyunryeong(縣令) in early Goryeo Dynasty period changed to Bu, Mok > Jibu > Jijugun > Hyunryeong after the time of King Chungseon through the process of adjusting Eupkyuk. Although such serial organization did not involve changes on the national Gaesugwan system, newly rising regions were practically raised and some of them were set as Gaesugwan depending on the local conditions.
