Chapter 317 Unexpected Rejection
"This..." Lu Lianggong hesitated for a moment, it was really difficult to answer this question.
What I made is not a spiritual card, so how could I need people to burn incense to worship it. Is it necessary to know the goods if you use it every day? Feeding chickens with a jewelry box is considered a daily use, but can this be called knowing the goods?
"It doesn't count." Lu Lianggong thought for a while, then shook his head.
"Then what do you think is knowledge?"
"Make the best use of everything!" Lu Lianggong's face seemed to be filled with an inexplicable light.
"Make the best use of everything? Hehe! Well said...listen." Li Zhenbang said in a disdainful voice.
"What do you mean?" Lu Lianggong looked at Li Zhenbang dissatisfied.
"Let me ask you a question, if the bed you made is placed on the market, how many times will the price be compared with that of ordinary craftsmen?"
"It should be at least ten times." Lu Lianggong said hesitantly.
"Ten times? I'm afraid your disciple's bed sold for more than ten times the price. Okay! Even if it is ten times, why is your bed ten times more expensive than ordinary craftsmen's?"
"Of course because I did it."
"Why is what you make more expensive than what ordinary craftsmen do?"
"Because my skills are good, and because the bed I make has its own soul." Lu Lianggong's pride is beyond words.
"The bed you made has a soul, so can this soul help users sleep soundly and avoid nightmares, or can it promote sleep for insomniacs?"
"This...not really, but the larch itself has the effect of promoting sleep."
"The service life of the bed you made can be more than ten times longer than the service life of the bed made by ordinary craftsmen?"
"The service life of the same wood will not vary much, but it is not easy if the service life exceeds two or three times." Lu Lianggong replied truthfully.
"Then why do others pay more than ten times the price to buy a bed that is as practical as an ordinary bed?" Li Zhenbang stared at Lu Lianggong and asked.
"Because...because...because I made it, it must be worth the price." Lu Lianggong said angrily.
"Wrong." Li Zhenbang shook his head.
"What's wrong? Are you saying that what I did is not worth the price?" Lu Lianggong stood up, his eyes were red, and he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and his voice increased a lot, making Li Zhenbang's ears buzzing ring.
Li Zhenbang rubbed his ears, looked at Lu Lianggong and laughed, it seemed that he was not so peaceful.
"Because you have misestimated your own value and the value of your works. This is the greatest blasphemy against your works, not your so-called bullshit." Li Zhenbang said bluntly.
"Li Zhenbang, you dare to insult my teacher, I will fight with you!" Lin'er shouted softly, her clothes were already fluttering in the magic element, obviously she was preparing to chant magic.
"Lin'er, let him finish talking." Lu Lianggong stopped Lin'er who was about to make a move, and looked at Li Zhenbang with an unfriendly expression. If he can't explain why, he will risk his life to restore his dignity.
Li Zhenbang didn't care at all, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said unhurriedly: "It's not impossible for me to make the price of your painstaking efforts a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times."
Hearing Li Zhenbang's words, Lu Lianggong's eyes widened, and he gulped down a mouthful of saliva.
"You... are you telling the truth?" Lu Lianggong asked with a trembling voice.
Li Zhenbang has always believed that everything in this world is valuable. The so-called priceless treasure is not that gold coins cannot be purchased, but that people who own priceless treasures have no interest in gold coins.
From Lu Lianggong's performance, he once again confirmed his own thoughts,
If the price is right, Lu Lianggong will certainly not mind selling his works. This is not to say that Lu Lianggong does not have the spirit of a craftsman, but in response to an old saying, people are poor and short-spirited, while horses are thin and long-haired.
Everyone has concerns and fetters, and there is no such thing as a person without weaknesses. People can give up their own lives without hesitation for their own beliefs and pursuits, and even plunder the lives of others. But people can also give up their beliefs for their own fetters and fears, which is not contradictory.
Li Zhenbang did not directly reply to Lu Lianggong's words, but continued to ask: "Do you think your works can realize their value among ordinary people, or realize their value among dignitaries?"
"This... I admit that there are indeed some extraordinary people among the common people, but I have to admit that among the dignitaries and dignitaries, the value of my works can be more reflected, but the dignitaries and dignitaries have always disdained things made of larch Just look at it." Lu Lianggong sighed and said helplessly.
"How to get them to accept larch products is not something you have to consider. This is something I have to consider. What you need to do is to make your craftsmanship better and your works more outstanding. If your hard work can be recognized by the royal family , then you will become famous and become a master who is famous throughout the Western Continent and even the whole world." Li Zhenbang's voice was full of magical attraction.
Lu Lianggong's Adam's apple rolled. His dream was to become a first-class and famous master carpenter. However, because he used larch as the material, larch has always been a material that common people are willing to use, so he could not put it on the table. .
He once thought about changing to other expensive woods, but one was due to economic strength, and the other was that other woods were not as easy to use as larch, so changing to another kind of wood was not inferior to starting over. Moreover, he also has some resistance to other wood materials in his heart, so he can't use them to the point of handiness, and naturally he can't make satisfactory works, so he has to give up in the end.
"Master, as the saying goes, life is easy, work is easy, and life is not easy. For your family to live a more comfortable life, you don't even have to run around for your future livelihood. How is it? Do you have any intention of cooperating with me?" Li Zhenbang showed a self-confidence I think it's a kind smile, but in the eyes of Long Miaomiao and Yuchen who are familiar with Li Zhenban, this is the naked, naked, naked smile when they see gold coins.
Under Li Zhenbang's expectant gaze, Lu Lianggong slowly closed his eyes, and his slightly short breathing gradually calmed down. Suddenly Lu Lianggong's eyes opened, and a white light seemed to flash in the room.
"Li Zhenbang, I'm sorry, I refuse." Li Zhenbang, who thought it was a matter of course, looked at Lu Lianggong who refused him with an incredulous expression.
He really couldn't believe that Lu Lianggong rejected him at the last moment. I didn't tell a lie, as long as Lu Lianggong cooperates with me, everything he described will become a reality in the near future. Lu Lianggong will not only earn a lot of money, but even become famous all over the world. As a businessman, he will naturally make a lot of money day by day.
"Why?" Li Zhenbang was a little hard to understand. After seeing Lu Lianggong's performance, he already felt confident, but he didn't know that there would be side effects.
"To be honest, your words have already moved me a little bit. I can feel that what you said is true. Just when I was about to promise you, I was suddenly blessed with a new level of ingenuity. I realized that A heart that does not delight in things and does not feel sorry for oneself. Foreign things and fame are no longer worth mentioning to me, and I will move with my heart and be at peace with the situation." Lu Lianggong's voice is calm, without any fake.
Li Zhenbang felt righteousness and peace from his voice, and knew that what Lu Lianggong said was from the bottom of his heart, and he was not lying to him.
Li Zhenbang hesitated for a moment, although he knew that there was nothing he could do, but he still wanted to fight for it.
"Master, why don't you think about it for your family and children?"
"My children and grandchildren have their own blessings. With my prestige in Luoye Town and the hard work of the whole house, it is enough for them to live the rest of their lives richly."
"Then don't you think about it in the long run? What if they don't want to develop in Luoye Town and want to go outside to see the world? Even if you sell your hard work to the nobles, I'm afraid it won't sell you much. After all, your current reputation is only limited to Luoye Town and the surrounding villages and towns. With your current reputation, to put it bluntly, nobles will not spend a lot of money to buy it."
"Presumably you also know that Luoye Town is not my hometown. I also wandered for a long time before finally settling in Luoye Town. If my children and grandchildren want to go out and develop, they will naturally have to rely on themselves. I can only do my best. , teach them your skills, if they have the roots of wisdom, they will naturally not worry about food, drink and clothing, even if they don't like carpenters, they won't starve to death easily."
"Then what should they do if there is a serious illness or catastrophe?"
"Life and death depend on fate, so why force it? If they deserve to die, even mountains of gold and silver cannot save their lives. If they deserve to die, why should I worry about it?"
"Then don't you want to become a generation of masters and be famous through the ages?" Li Zhenbang was already a little impetuous. The originally good situation turned into a cloud for no reason. How could he be reconciled.
"Aren't I a famous person now? I did have the idea of becoming famous, but now I look away. No one can stop the erosion of the years. Even if the name is famous for a while, it will be submerged in the history sooner or later." In the dust. As far as I know, the summoned beast mage in ancient times was a very powerful existence, isn't it also reduced to a weak profession now?" Lu Lianggong gave Li Zhenbang a meaningful look.
"You...stubborn! What you understand is not to be happy with things and not to be sad for yourself. What you understand is obviously not to change!" Li Zhenbang said violently. He knew that Lu Lianggong's last words were just to tease himself. It seemed that he still cared about the fact that he was holding his nose.
When Lu Lianggong heard Li Zhenbang's words, instead of being angry, he burst out laughing.
"However, many of my disciples should be interested in your proposal."
