[2] He was later appointed as the governor of Gilan, Ardabil, Khalkhal and ultimately Zanjan, where he was wounded in a fight and died on the way to Tehran.

[6] Due to being on the way to the capital, Qazvin was visited frequently by foreign envoys and merchants, and as a result, was in need of a place to accommodate them.

This building was located in front of the Ali Qapu gate and to the east of the Jameh Mosque of Qazvin, and was at the time the most well-equipped and prestigious inn in Iran.

Since Ilkhani spent most of his time at the court in Tehran, Bagher Khan, who was already a man of great influence in Qazvin was appointed by him as the vice governor.

His actions during his time as the vice governor of Qazvin include repairing the city's governmental buildings such as Chehel Sotun, Ali Qapu Gate, Rokniye and the Naderi Palace.

[9] Bagher Khan was appointed as the governor of Qazvin for the first time in 1888, replacing Allah Qoli Mirza Ilkhani.

[11] During his time as the governor of Qazvin, Sa'd as-Saltaneh ordered the construction of a Rakhtshui Khane, which was a roofed building designed for women to do their laundry.

Nicknamed Amin Aqdas, she was one of Shah's favorite wives and at the time had an eye disease that had made her completely blind.

[14] Social unrest resulting by the Regie concession in Tehran soon spread to Qazvin with people taking sanctuary in Imamzadeh Hossein.

[17] According to Hossein-Qoli Nezam al-Saltaneh Mafi, Sa'd as-Saltaneh was appointed as the governor of Ardabil and Meshkinshahr in summer 1903 by the crown prince Mohammad Ali Mirza.
