"Since you already have a plan, then you two can discuss and handle all of this yourself!"
Zhe Kecun could tell that Han Mo could handle this matter perfectly on his own.
The reason he was telling him so much was purely to pull the Zhe family along.
As an elder, he felt a bit ashamed to take advantage of his junior.
"There is still one matter that needs your elder's decision, and that is regarding the profit distribution!"
Han Mo smiled and said.
There was no other way than to be clear about things beforehand; after all, these matters had to be discussed upfront.
"Tell me your thoughts!" Zhe Kecun asked with a smile.
"This is how I see it: the Zhe family has the largest expenses, so they will take thirty percent of all profits. After our marriage, one percent will be used for daily expenses, and the Grand Princess's mansion will take one percent! The remaining four individuals will each take one percent, and the final one percent will be used as rewards for the shopkeepers in various locations!"
There was no need for politeness at this moment, Han Mo directly stated his arrangements.
"For the shopkeepers everywhere?"
Zhe Kecun had not expected Han Mo to propose this.
He understood what the rewards for those people were; this money was to smooth things over. Zhong Shidao, as the head of the Zhong family, was a highly respected figure, not only in the Western Army but also in other armies.
More importantly, the Zhong family's sphere of influence bordered that of the Zhe family. Bringing them in would be beneficial to the overall development of the Zhe family!
After all, they were all from the military. If they could help each other, their future would be much simpler.
The eunuchs had Liang Shicheng, the imperial family had the Crown Prince and the Grand Princess, and the Emperor had Li Shishi. All parties benefited.
As for the civil officials, it was even simpler; the market share they gave up was essentially given to them.
If anyone foolish enough dared to cause trouble, they would then know what it meant to be attacked by slander and gossip.
However, giving the remaining one percent to the shopkeepers everywhere made Zhe Kecun feel a bit pained.
After all, even though this was not yet widely promoted, judging by the current situation, this one percent would likely be an astronomical sum.
How much military equipment could be bought with that one percent!
"That's right, this market is simply too vast. If we only relied on our supervision, how long would it take to make big money? If we want them to make money for us, we have to let them have a share of the pie!"
Han Mo would naturally not let go of this incentive method, which was most commonly used in later generations.
Personal connections were one thing, but personal connections could not support a commercial empire!
"But isn't that too much?"
Zhe Kecun still felt a pang of regret.
"I will specifically write out a set of regulations for this later. If you disagree then, we can discuss it further!"
Han Mo smiled and did not press the issue.
Although this was a profitable venture, if one were to speak of amassing wealth madly, this was only the beginning.
The reason he was putting so much effort into these matters now was to pave the way for future endeavors.
Once the rules were established, he could then promote all sorts of strange and wonderful things he came up with in the future throughout the land.
He had to be busy with his official career; he did not have that much time to mingle with these businessmen every day.
"Then, according to your wishes. You two chat for a while; I'll go and have the banquet prepared!"
Zhe Kecun finally nodded.
When a father-in-law took a liking to his son-in-law, he would find him more and more pleasing to the eye.
As was the case now, Zhe Kecun could not find any fault with his son-in-law.
In terms of literary talent, he was the renowned number one scholar in Bianliang. In terms of family background, Han Mo's status as a descendant of the Han family meant he could marry a princess.
In terms of appearance, Han Mo could definitely be considered a handsome man now, tall and sturdy, with well-defined features.
In terms of wealth, although he did not have much money now, he had a knack for making money.
Even though he had not yet implemented any of his ideas, Zhe Kecun was already certain that they would be incredibly profitable.
In terms of shrewdness, the person who could include Cai Du in his calculations was unmatched among his peers.
Compared to his own two foolish sons, he was far superior!
Moreover, even before entering officialdom, he had already gained the Emperor's attention.
That jade ruyi scepter was currently stirring up a great commotion throughout Bianliang City!
Han Mo was such a person that Zhe Kecun now felt his own carefree daughter was a bit of a high climb.
"This is the set of regulations I have drafted. Take a look, and if there are no issues, we'll proceed accordingly."
After Zhe Kecun left, Han Mo took out the regulations he had written from his sleeve and handed them to Zhe Yourong.
"Why didn't you take it out earlier?"
Zhe Yourong rolled her eyes.
"Don't you understand yet? This task will fall into your hands in the future. If it were in anyone else's hands, I wouldn't be at ease!"
Their wedding date was just a few days away, so Han Mo spoke to her without any reservation.
"You!"
Although he spoke casually, Zhe Yourong felt a strange awkwardness in her heart.
"What do you mean, 'me'? Aren't I also considering both of us? You need to think clearly. It's easy to give this to others, but it will be difficult to get it back! You wouldn't want us to have a bad relationship with the family over money in the future, would you?"
There were still many things that had not been revealed. At this stage, their careers were just beginning, and although the money they had earned was not little,
It was nothing compared to what lay ahead.
People always changed. Rather than leaving hidden dangers for the future, it was better to nip all potential problems in the bud from the beginning.
"Just this?"
Zhe Yourong glanced at him with dissatisfaction.
"What if there were dozens or hundreds of similar-scale items?"
Seeing the disdain in her eyes, Han Mo asked with a smile.
"Dozens or hundreds!"
Zhe Yourong was finally a little moved, but then she hesitated.
How could that be possible?
With something so profitable, it would be good if there was just one, let alone so many?
"Do you think your husband has run out of ideas so easily? This is just the beginning. Come on, call me 'good brother,' and I'll tell you another secret!"
Seeing her shocked expression, Han Mo finally felt a lot better and said with a wicked smile.
"Lecher!"
As Zhe Yourong spoke, her eyes darted towards Han Mo's lower abdomen, and Han Mo immediately felt a shiver run down his spine.
"What do you want?"
