After my whole family overheard my thoughts, they went berserk.

“Yes, let’s go for the high-quality route. I support the little princess!” Fu Rufang was the first to vote in agreement.

Luo Jing asked with some concern, "But will our embroidery workshop still have any business?"

Although those are fast-moving consumer goods, their high sales volume is undeniable.

No matter how good their products are, they are already at a disadvantage when it comes to price.

"Well, there's definitely no business, so we still have to think of something..." Fu Rufang said truthfully.

Luo Jing said, "By the way, Mrs. Wu, those clients of yours, they didn't run away, did they?"

There are still some embroidery items in the shop that haven't been sold yet.

“They kept running, but they couldn’t stop me!” Fu Rufang said.

For example, her father had no intention of buying her embroidery at all, but she would throw the items in the yard and run away, then come back a few days later to collect the money.

Whether they run away or not, the goods have been sold anyway.

For example, her husband was asked to go to his colleagues to sell, and no matter how he sold, he eventually made a sale!

"Ah..." Luo Jing seemed not to understand what she meant.

In fact, Fu Rufang is very good at business, but the birth of her son has tripped her up.

It was also because her son's arrival was hard-won, and she had had enough of doing business, so she wanted to free up more time to spend with him.

Now that the shop can't stay open, Fu Rufang can no longer pretend to be rich.

Furthermore, she can't keep pissing off her father. What if she angers him and he stops acknowledging her as his daughter?

"Okay, I'm coming clean."

Fu Rufang gritted her teeth and decided to tell the truth.

“Actually, I sold all those embroidered items to my own family…” Fu Rufang said.

Luo Jing asked, puzzled, "What does Madam Wu mean by this?"

"I didn't find anyone to sell the embroidery you gave me before. I just had the servants in my mansion throw it into my mother's courtyard and force them to sell it to them!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Jing was utterly shocked.

She simply couldn't believe that Fu Rufang would do such a thing!

Shi Miaomiao believed it; it seemed like something Aunt Fu would do.

"Didn't I send them several times? Did you just throw them into your parents' yard?" Luo Jing couldn't help but ask curiously.

Fu Rufang said, "No, even if it's about taking advantage of others, I can't just target Dad. After all, he's getting old, and I need to leave him some money for his funeral..."

"..." Luo Jing was even more surprised.

Fu Rufang said, "My husband also got a share. I had him take those embroidered items and sell them to people in the clan."

cough cough...

Actually, she was too embarrassed to say it, but her original intention was for him to sell it to his colleagues.

"Aunt Fu, Ni is deliberately targeting her own family members!" Shi Miaomiao said in a childish voice.

Suddenly, she felt that the money Aunt Fu gave her was a bit too hot to handle.

Why do I feel a little guilty...?

"Well, it can't be called a scam. We're family, so we should help each other out when someone's in trouble..." Fu Rufang reluctantly made excuses for herself.

Trying to make myself feel more at ease about the mess I've made.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's think of a solution first," Fu Rufang said, feeling rather embarrassed.

When the Empress heard these outrageous things, she almost fell backward in her chair.

Is it because she spends all her time in the palace that she's become ignorant and uninformed?

The outside world is truly so exciting; even Fu Rufang came up with such novel ideas…

"Aunt Fu and Sister Luo, don't worry, I have a plan," Shi Miaomiao said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Fu Rufang's eyes lit up, and she quickly praised, "I knew the little princess was clever and would definitely have a solution."

“Our Huayao Kingdom values ​​medicinal herbs, and the herbs we grow sell well across the mainland. However, few people learn needlework, which makes embroiderers very scarce in our Huayao Kingdom. If we want to compete in terms of numbers, we definitely can’t beat them.”

“I’ve heard that girls in Sangnan Kingdom learn embroidery from a young age, and almost every girl knows it. In our Huayao Kingdom, we don’t force anyone to learn; if they want to, they can, and if they don’t, we don’t force them,” Fu Rufang said.

"I never expected that this would become their strength in suppressing us!"

Shi Miaomiao said, "It's okay, we can still start competing now."

"Actually, I have an idea. We can train a group of embroiderers and then compete with Sangnan Kingdom."

She had seen it; the embroidery from Sangnan Kingdom was very crude. Although everyone could do it, it was obvious that the craftsmanship was not refined.

Moreover, by focusing too much on trendy styles, and producing embroidered items on assembly lines, quality is naturally neglected.

Customers will eventually notice the difference, it just will take time.

“Training a group of embroiderers will take a long time. By the time we finish training them, those merchants from Sangnan Kingdom will have already made their fortunes,” Luo Jing said with some concern.

“Furthermore, the Huayao Kingdom highly values ​​medicinal herbs, so I’m afraid very few people would be willing to learn embroidery,” Fu Rufang said.

That's why Shi Miaomiao felt she needed to do both.

If the Huayao Kingdom wants to maintain its number one position, it needs to excel in everything!

They clearly embroidered better, but now Sang Nanguo has taken over the market. She absolutely cannot agree to this!

"No, as long as we use the right methods to recruit students, there will definitely be some who are interested. Then Sister Luo will personally teach them."

"Has the little princess come up with a good idea?" Fu Rufang seemed quite interested in hearing this.

Now, she even has the idea of ​​overpowering Sang Nanguo!

"Everyone grows medicinal herbs just to make money, but we train embroiderers not only to make money, but also to bring glory to our country!"

Upon hearing the word "bring glory to the country," Fu Rufang felt her blood boil.

"It's great to win glory for the country! As a Huayao person, I must win glory for the country!"

Her family had served the imperial court and brought glory to the country for generations. Although she was a woman, she also wanted to bring glory to the country when she had such an opportunity.

"We will set up an embroidery academy, recruit students, teach them every day, provide accommodation, and reward those who do well with scholarships to increase their enthusiasm. In the end, we will train a group of outstanding embroiderers to participate in embroidery competitions!"

"A competition?" Luo Jing and Fu Rufang asked in unison.

what match?

I've never heard of any embroidery competitions.

Shi Miaomiao confidently replied, "We'll organize it ourselves."

"This must cost a lot of money..." Luo Jing was unsure.

“My dad is rich. Organizing a competition is a piece of cake for him.”

Empress: So your father was a sucker...

Shi Miaomiao: My dad is so rich, he probably won't refuse me, right?

How much should we ask him to pay?

Let him set a small goal first, like 100 million.
