Chapter 1291 Famine and Natural Disaster 450

After getting the unexpected answer, Chunmei hung her head in dejection, blaming herself for not being born with a good body.

The master is a very skilled martial artist, but she, as a maid, is a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken. It's really hard to accept.

"Master, it's all my fault. I don't have the talent for martial arts and I can't stay by your side to protect you." Chunmei was filled with ashamed, and her words brought out her feelings of inferiority and shame at the moment.

  Mingyi was surprised. Why did he suddenly blame himself?

"Chunmei, everyone has their own talents. There are very few people in this world who are good at everything. We can even say that they are scarce. You should look at your own strengths and do your best in the areas you are good at. How can you compare your weaknesses with others' strengths? What do you think?"

Chunmei's shame and inferiority were about to explode. Her master's words rang in her ears, and it was as if she had suddenly realized something. Her mood gradually changed. The negative thinking just now turned into a kind of self-affirmation. She had a good talent for embroidery and medicine, and she could help her master manage the housework easily. There was really no need to compare herself with people who knew martial arts.

"I am obsessed with this. I thank you for your guidance."

Otherwise, she would be trapped in guilt for a long time.

"There's no need to do that. You've done very well." Among the several maids who came to serve her, only this one had a firm belief and wanted to stay by her side; for this, she spared no effort and focused on both medicine and study.

Chunmei is working hard to become a valuable person, someone worthy of the attention of her future master.

A person who is willing to put in a lot of effort to be a slave and has a decent mindset is worth looking at.

"I can do better. I will try my best." Chunmei clenched her fist as if making a promise, or as if to encourage herself.

It's a good thing that the little girl has a fighting spirit. Mingyi smiled and let her do what she wants.

The wool workshop was built, and the wool transported back from the grassland was of varying qualities. For this reason, a screening process had to be started again. The appearance and quality of the wool had to be divided into three levels: one for ordinary people, one for middle-class people, and one for high-end boutiques.

At the beginning, Mingyi was in charge of the overall situation, with Butler Luo assisting from the side; later, after Madam Rong came, Butler Luo successfully withdrew.

The first batch of finished wool products came out of the workshop. Rong Mama randomly selected some wool products from three categories and presented them to Mingyi personally. She was unusually excited and talked non-stop with a beaming face.

"Master, the wool has been made into finished products, and they look great. As long as they are exported, they will definitely sell well. The nobles in the Central Plains love luxury things the most. Wool can be dyed with some colors and made into blankets, coats, cloaks, capes, cloaks and other ready-made clothes. If the colors are good, they will only sell better."

Madam Rong looked at Mingyi with admiration. Her mistress was truly a rare intelligent girl. With her wisdom and her age of less than ten years old, she could be described as being extremely intelligent.

The production of wool brought blessings to the people of the Northwest; the same was true for the soldiers of the Northwest, who could even sell the goods to the Central Plains and other countries.

The money earned can greatly reduce the financial pressure on the Crown Prince and the Zhou Palace. The income and expenditure of one palace can support an army of 200,000, which is only possible because the palace is large and powerful and the princess is good at management. Otherwise, the Zhou Palace would have fallen into decline.

Mingyi listened to the exciting plan with a smile on her face. The prospect was clear to her. The production of wool would definitely bring in a lot of income, but she couldn't let her guard down. Once the wool-making business was exposed, it would definitely attract the attention of many forces. Not to mention the Central Plains, the other two countries near the northwest would try every means to find out.

In the past, there were four countries in the northwest, but now two of them have been defeated; on the left is the Western Regions, and on the right is Ningguo. The vast grasslands have isolated the Great Ning Dynasty. If you want to go to the Great Ning Dynasty, there are only two ways to go; one is to take a detour from Ningguo, and the other is to go through the grasslands and go straight.

Because of the grassland, the Daning Dynasty would not come to Dayi for no reason except for normal diplomatic missions to the Dayi Dynasty.

As a result, the Western Regions, Ningguo and the grasslands became rampant and repeatedly invaded the northwestern border.

"Mammy, what you said and thought is what I wish for. The profit of wool is huge, so this matter can only be concealed for a while, not forever. If the two countries of the grassland and the Daning Dynasty knew about it, they would definitely send people to the northwest to inquire. You must control the workshop and not disclose the formula."

Rong Mama's excited heart suddenly felt like it fell into cold water, and she felt very cold; she realized that wool would bring huge profits, but would also attract attention from many parties, so she could not be careless.

"Master, what you said is true. I understand. I will manage the workshop well and will not let them leak the production process. Fortunately, you have made arrangements in advance and assigned people to different production lines. It is not easy to know the process and formula of wool production. If I manage it more strictly, there will be no problem."

"Yes." Mingyi nodded gently, "The wool workshop is on the right track, and I have to do other things here. I can't always take care of the workshop's affairs. Everything is left to Rong Mama."

"Yes, I obey your command. I will not let you down."

Mingyi carefully inspected the woolen coats. There were both men and women working in the workshop. Most women were not as strong as men, so the men were assigned to the heavy work production line. The women were responsible for making the finished products. Women were naturally thoughtful and skillful, and as long as they were given a job opportunity, they were no worse than men.

Women can support the family, and their status in the family will gradually improve; changes will soon occur in the northwest, and after Zhou Ting unifies the country, the women in the northwest will also influence the women in other places, setting an example for those women and giving them the courage to step out of the inner house and work in front of people.

"The work is well done. Please study the design more carefully. Tell the embroiderers that anyone who makes new, beautiful, and easy-to-sell designs will be rewarded. Each design will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."

Madam Rong calmed down and turned back into the familiar Madam Rong, who was too rational and self-controlled.

"Yes, I will pass on your order."

"Get busy. Products need to be constantly innovative to be marketable. Don't be bound by conservative inertia. Let them expand their thinking. Rewards will be in sight."

Rong Ma Ma bowed and said, "Yes, I have made note of it. I will take my leave now."

Watching Rong Mama walk out of the room, Mingyi took the cashmere blanket on the table and looked it over and over; it was very good, soft and tough, the fur was white and shiny, and the appearance was exquisite. Such a fine product would be very valuable if it was sold.

Chunmei came back from outside with two medical books in her hands, followed by Chunxi, Chunliu and Chunhong.

When their eyes fell on the white fluffy blanket, their eyes lit up, and when they greeted Mingyi, their little eyes could not hide their curiosity.
