According to the previous rules of the Imperial, each noble with a title had their own territory.
However.
This regulation was abolished after the Imperial began to increasingly appoint more nobility.
Because the Imperial's Twelve-person council realized that if they continued to allocate territories in this manner, the land owned by the nobility might exceed half of the Imperial territory.
Afterwards, even more stringent inheritance rules increasingly restricted nobles.
Until today.
Many nobles within the empire no longer possess any land grants, and those who do, their ancestors were hereditary great families.
However.
Nowadays the number of Imperial nobles has drastically decreased; the disappearance of those families that could stably produce the backbone of the empire also somewhat impacts the Imperial.
Listening to Yao Shuimei.
The Twelve-person council is currently discussing whether to reinstate the land grant system.
