"How about... I tie your hair up for you, sir, so you won't feel hot?" Aunt Liu suggested cautiously.

Twenty minutes passed, and Jin Shuai looked at his reflection in the basin of water, saying helplessly, "I'm not Nezha, why did they give me two horns? Take them off quickly!"

Aunt Liu explained, feeling wronged, "My lord, men your age usually have this hairstyle."

In the end, Jin Shuai relented. He went to the dining room, his hair tied in a high ponytail, and had breakfast with the butler and two other people. After the meal, he asked, "Has anyone booked a carriage?"

"Your Excellency, a total of five companies have booked carriages. As per your previous instructions, one of them not only paid the full amount but also paid an additional fee for early pickup; while the other four have all arranged for delivery after the 15th," the butler reported with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jin Shuai's lips curled into a slight smile, revealing a satisfied expression: "Hehehe, look at this, this is what they call being rich and powerful! These customers value not just the money itself, but also the prestige and pomp. Butler, from now on, of all profits earned by my properties, after deducting necessary costs, ten percent will be distributed as dividends. Each of you three will receive ten percent."

"Sir, how much is 10%?" Aunt Liu asked curiously. She was filled with anticipation, but she didn't know exactly how much that number would be.

Jin Shuai smiled and explained, “It’s hard to say exactly how much. It depends on the total transaction volume each month and the profit after deducting various costs. For example, if our total transaction volume in a month is 1,000 guan, and we earn 800 guan after deducting personnel wages, materials and other costs, then 10% is 80 guan. Your 10% is 8 guan, and the remaining 76 guan will be divided equally among the 60 people. 76 divided by 60, that means each person will get about 1.2 guan.”

Liu Ma's eyes lit up immediately; she had never imagined she could receive so much money. However, she quickly realized that it might be too much for her. She hurriedly said, "My lord, I don't need that much money. I've been eating and drinking at the manor, and my salary is quite good. Just give me a few tips. Keep the rest for your use."

The steward and Li Wei nodded in agreement, indicating that they also didn't need that much money. Looking at their sincere expressions, Jin Shuai thought to himself that people in ancient times weren't greedy, but genuinely cared for the household.

Jin Shuai comforted her, "It's alright, just take it. That's all the money you earned, the reward you deserve. Besides, the garment workshop will need more funds to grow and expand in the future. Aunt Liu, from now on, you'll be in charge of managing the garment workshop. We can use a piece-rate system, first cutting all the clothes to be made into uniform sizes, and then distributing them to each person for production. This way, we can not only ensure uniform size but also improve production efficiency. If you want to further increase production, you can consider having people outside who are skilled in needlework bring their needlework home to do it."

Liu Ma and the others seemed a little confused after hearing this. "My lord, I understand the beginning, but I don't understand why they had to take him back to do it," Liu Ma asked.

Jin Shuai smiled and explained, "For example, if you have prepared the materials for 100 sets of underwear, you can find someone from an ordinary family who knows needlework to come here and learn for a few days. After they finish making the garments according to your standards, they can take the materials home and make them without having to work for us. We can pay them per piece. You don't need to prepare their food and lodging; they just need to deliver the goods on time. This is also called processing with supplied materials."
