Walking out of the City Lord's Mansion, he was actually prepared for Sabo's scheming. In this era, everything needs to be contested.
Before Baiyi became the acting City Lord, he didn't receive a single free resource.
So as long as it doesn't violate basic laws — such as large-scale massacres, holding evil rituals for Evil Gods, Ancient Gods, the Abyss, Hell, and cutting off civilians' paths to advancement or letting civilians die off — everything else is just within the rules.
After all, it's just a competition for resources. Baiyi never worries about retaliation from the Legislator Clan; he's only concerned that Sabo might offend all the Legislator Clans and end up isolated at certain times.
Therefore, Baiyi never considered giving Sabo a 20% stake in the network for him to manage.
