How many years did it take from county magistrate to governor in ancient times?

In China's feudal dynasty, the king monopolized the power and set up various levels of official positions to conduct state governance and jurisdiction. At present, our understanding of ancient official positions is mostly in film and television works, and we can't move a record, a first-class official and a second-class official. For us viewers, a second-class official like the governor is inferior, but it was not like this in ancient times. As we all know, Qipin magistrate, then, how many years did it take from magistrate to governor in ancient times? For this problem, the author believes that a diligent and successful person, according to the normal promotion path, will take about 30 years, that is, about a lifetime.

First, the time for each position to hold a normal position has risen from positive seven grades, that is, magistrate of a county, to positive six grades. It will take six years, or at the earliest. If there is a turning point or re-election, it will take ten years or more. It takes about the same time from the positive six products to the positive five products, with a minimum of 6 years or even longer. Of course, not all people can be promoted to Zhengwupin through time, and the official position of Zhengwupin needs to be decided by the emperor. Therefore, almost all the magistrates of Zheng Wupin were airborne, and few of them were promoted step by step in the local area. This is the case with the positive five products, especially the positive three products above the positive four products and the positive five products.

Secondly, it can be seen from the brief introduction of magistrate's step-by-step promotion to governor that it takes a lot of time and it is more difficult to be promoted from magistrate's step by step. It can be seen that in the official history, there are very few people who can rise from magistrate to governor step by step. Most well-developed people are stuck in the position of magistrate.

It can be seen that in film and television works, there are always a group of officials with one product and two products, which is like sesame seeds. This is really just an illusion. Officials with one product and two products are rare in past dynasties, which is the ceiling that most people in any dynasty can't reach in their lives.
