Moreover, simply relying on Ji Xinhe's designs leaves less and less room for her own thoughts. Xinhe believes that the ancients were not any less intelligent than the moderns. She has provided designs for clothing and jewelry for the past three seasons, which should have inspired them. She is sure that someone would be able to take those inspirations further, and design even more beautiful dresses.
"How about this, you instruct the embroidery women in the workshop to design clothes and jewelry for the next season. I will review the designs when they are finished, and pick out the top ten. The first place will be rewarded with five hundred silver pieces, the second place with four hundred, the third place with three hundred, and the following places with two hundred each. Those who perform exceptionally well, could even earn higher wages in the future. Let's encourage them to give their best." Xinhe suggested.
