Napoleon implemented a system in which he granted titles and land to people who would support him financially. This approach mirrors the feudalistic relationships of Louis XVI's time, where loyalty and service were rewarded with land and privileges. Just as feudal lords would grant land to vassals in exchange for military service or allegiance, Napoleon utilized his power to create a new aristocracy that was dependent on his rule. This ensured that those receiving land or titles were motivated to maintain their loyalty to him, thereby establishing a hierarchy reminiscent of the feudal system.
