One option was to give the local administrative position as a hereditary position to one of the gentry and raise them to the position of baron or viscount. It most likely ensure a local centralisation of the subdivision but would most likely create a class of noblemen who would not be pleased by any attempt to curb their vast freedoms.
Another option is to appoint the heads of these administrative entities yourself whether they came from the local gentry or sent there on your behalf these men's position would exist only at your whim. And only you could appoint or fire them.
An unorthodox option was to allow the local inhabitants to elect their own heads who would then be confirmed or vetoed by yourself. It would be a decline in your own power but would please to local very much
