Wikipedia
A Darughachi (also referred to as a darugha) was originally an official in the Mongol Empire in charge of taxes and administration in a certain province (they were sometimes referred to as governors). The term corresponds to the Persian shahna and the Turkic basqaq (also spelled baskak) and to tal u hua ch'i in Chinese.
In Russia, the darughachis, almost always referred to as baskaki in the Russian sources, appear in thirteenth-century soon after the Mongol Conquest but were withdrawn by 1328 and the Grand Prince of Vladimir (usually but not always the prince of Moscow) became the khan's tax collector (kürgen), entrusted with gathering the dan' or tribute from the Rus' principalities for the Golden Horde.
