Lin Helin pondered the Beiman King's conditions: he wanted a fief. In Beining, aside from the Imperial Family, very few people could own a fief, and even if they had one, they lacked autonomy.
Lin Helin said, "Beining's new governance reforms have already abolished the fiefdom system. Even for the Imperial Family, while they may retain their fiefs, they don't hold autonomy. The new reforms have abolished fiefdoms altogether; in the future, royal descendants will no longer reside in fiefs and will only benefit from their rental taxes—income without authority. All lands in Beining will be managed by appointed officials. Even if a fief were granted to the Beiman King, he would enjoy only tax income without jurisdiction. If the Beiman King doesn't mind residing in the Capital City, His Majesty would certainly provide him with a grand and imposing mansion and make proper arrangements for all members of the Beiman Royal Family, ensuring they live comfortably without worries."
