This is Medieval concept.

Britannica defines "benefice" as below:

https://www.britannica.com/topic/benefice

benefice, a particular kind of land tenure that came into use in the 8th century in the kingdom of the Franks. A Frankish sovereign or lord, the seigneur, leased an estate to a freeman on easy terms in beneficium (Latin: “for the benefit [of the tenant]”), and this came to be called a beneficium, a benefice.

In Merriam Webster's Dictionary, "benefice" is defined as below:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/benefice

1: an ecclesiastical office to which the revenue from an endowment is attached
2: a feudal estate in lands : FIEF

This text is concerned with definition 2. As you can see, FIEF is mentioned as an equivalent for it. Let's check it:

1: a feudal estate: FEE
2: something over which one has rights or exercises control

And now let's see what FIEF is. I'll check Wikipedia for it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fief

And now let's see how FIEF is translated into Persian:

Note from asker:
thank you for your clear explanation. Yes it exactly refers to تیولداری. In fact, in the text the author also mentions Toyuldari in brackets.
