The most effective means by which Zhou rulers kept control over the different regions of their kingdom was by putting family members in charge of individual regions. This practice, known as the feudal system, allowed the Zhou to ensure loyalty and maintain authority over the vast areas of their realm. While the other options may have played a role in governance or stability, appointing family members helped to cement their power more directly.
