After the following years of the Battle of Manzikert, Turkmen migrations to
Anatolia went on constantly for ages. As a result of that situation, new villages and
towns were established in the countryside of Anatolia. These villages and towns
were founded around the khanqahs, lodges, madrasahs, imarets which were built
mostly by Akhies in the name of religious and cult leaders and service institutions
and organizations such as foundations and charities. In this manner, the numbers of
villages and towns reached rapidly thousands. The Seljukian statesmen organized
these newly founded villages in a certain way and had them governed in a certain
concept. In this respect, Najm al‐Dîn Daye 1223 (620), one of the sheikhs of Kubrawiyya order, gave original information under the title of “The rules to be
obeyed by village owners, village headmen, farmers and workers” in his book
“Mersād al‐ebād” and he presented this book to Kayqubad I, the Seljuq Sultan of
Rum, and he was honoured by the Sultan. In this regard, the rules on the
organizations and governances of villages in his book were studiously obeyed. For
this reason, the moral principles which were to be followed by headmen of villages
and farmers and the explanations about the hierarchical relations among them
served as models for the rulers of the Sultanate of Rum.
