"Sorry to keep you waiting, Master Jin." The City Lord led Elder Lu into his study room. Behind him, a maidservant brought tea into the room and saw He Jia reading a book.
"Milord is too polite." He Jia hurriedly stood up and bowed.
"Master, please sit. Elder Lu, please sit as well. Presumably Grandmaster had also seen the recruitment notice before coming. The treatment of the masters would be given according to the announcement. Since the Master's appraisal skill is currently in the basic stage, we will provide a large number of items that need to be appraised for the Master to increase his proficiency. In addition, I would like to have Elder Lu personally impart some cultural knowledge to Grandmaster. It should be helpful to Grandmaster's comprehension. What does Grandmaster think?" The City Lord asked.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I accept your suggestion. I wonder if you can tell me in detail what I need to do for you?”He Jia said without any excitement. Elder Lu frowned slightly when he saw this, but the City Lord smiled.
"I wonder if Master Jin plans to stay in Grace City?”The City Lord probed.
"Yes, I was planning to stay in Grace City for a long time, so I bought 400 square meters of land next to the mayor's mansion. I plan to open an appraisal shop, but I don't have the money to operate it.”He Jia said with some difficulty.
"400 square meters of land. You mean, there's an empty space with a small cottage on the left side of the city lord's mansion?”The City Lord said excitedly.
"Yes, sir." He Jia nodded.
"So Master Jin bought it. Congratulations, congratulations.”Seeing the City Lord's unfriendly expression, Old Lu interrupted without waiting for the City Lord to speak, emphasizing the word 'master'. When the City Lord heard Elder Lu's words, he immediately came to a realization. His dark expression immediately brightened.
"I want to hire Master Jin permanently. Master Jin will be paid one gold coin per month. The job he has to do is to appraise 300 items with unknown attributes for us every month. If you exceed this number, we will pay according to the system appraiser's appraisal fee system. What does Grandmaster think?" The City Lord asked.
"I want to change the agreement. I will prioritize helping you appraise items that are less than 10 gold coins in total every month. If the appraisal price exceeds the appraisal price, I have the right to refuse the appraisal.”He Jia said.
"Alright, but I hope to have the priority to appraise three items every month, regardless of their value.”The City Lord said.
"Alright, no problem! "I want to tell the City Lord about my working hours. On the first day of every month, Sir must prepare the items that need to be appraised. I will help Sir appraise these items. Other than that, I will not appraise other items!”He Jia said.
"Impudent!" Elder Lu suddenly cursed.
"Alright! I can promise you that!" However, the City Lord's eyes lit up. An appraiser with such a personality was exactly what he needed. With such a stinky personality, he reckoned that no one would like him.
"Milord, I still want to discuss another matter with you.”He Jia smiled.
"Please speak!" The City Lord asked.
"I want to build my 400 square meters of land into a pawnshop, auction house, and appraisal house. Unfortunately, I don't have much silver. I hope you can help me.”He Jia said.
"I can support it. However, you will have to return an additional 20% interest.”The City Lord said.
"Alright, no problem. I wonder if the City Lord can send some guards for me?”He Jia asked.
"Of course. Come, drink this, and we'll settle on this.”The City Lord smiled and raised his teacup to toast.
"Alright, I'll do it. I realized that there are no new humans living in this city. I wonder what the city lord thinks about the arrival of new humans?”He Jia also picked up the teacup and drank it.
"This, Xiao Cui, you go out first. Elder Lu, please inform the guards not to let anyone in. Then, the three of us will go to the back study room to have a chat!”The City Lord suddenly said. When Elder Lu heard this, he was rather excited.
He Jia picked up the coffee table. The City Lord gently pushed a brush box on the bookshelf. The bookshelf beside him suddenly moved to the side, revealing a door. The three of them entered and the door closed.
"Sit, have some tea! There's only the three of us now, so there's no need for too much etiquette. What did Master Jin mean by that?”The City Lord asked. He felt that He Jia was not a Homo Evolutis, but a local resident. He was indeed troubled by the Homo Evolutis problem. He Jia should have come into contact with Homo Evolutis in his previous life. Naturally, the more detailed it was, the better.
"I think Homo Evolutis are very rich, but they don't like to be restrained.”He Jia said.
"Mhm, please speak freely, Master Jin. I'll have to trouble Elder Lu to temporarily write the document." The City Lord said.
"They like to take risks and are very aggressive. They like to form gangs and form their own cliques.”He Jia listed out the characteristics of Homo Evolutis in one breath.
"What Master Jin said makes sense. I wonder if Master Jin has any suggestions for the construction of our city. Why don't you tell Master Jin directly that this city is a commercial city that only participated in the war of the new human beings?”The City Lord nodded to He Jia and said.
" In terms of promoting the city's economy, I've observed the construction of our city for a few days and found that we lack the following buildings that can attract the consumption of Homo Evolutis. For example, skill learning, auction houses, bodyguard agencies, pawn shops, martial arts arenas, and so on.”He Jia said.
"To be honest, Master Jin, this city has just been built and funds are tight. The buildings that Master mentioned can't be built in a short period of time.”The City Lord tactfully rejected He Jia's suggestion. From an economic point of view, it was very feasible, but he still had to consider the city's defense.
"Daren is straightforward, so I won't lie to Daren. I can get one gold coin from the bank every day. I will pay you 80 silver coins a day. I hope that you can lend me a huge sum of money to complete these projects. The interest will still be 20%.”He Jia said.
"This…I want to discuss this with Elder Lu first.”The City Lord suddenly changed the topic.
Following that, Elder Lu and He Jia discussed the relevant matters. For the sake of keeping He Jia forever, they worked together. Regardless of the profit or loss, the City Lord would receive 50% of the profit or loss, Elder Lu would receive 20% of the profit or loss, and He Jia would receive 30% of the profit or loss. The income from He Jia's appraisal would all belong to him. Because even if He Jia signed a permanent employment agreement with them, He Jia could leave as long as he paid the system penalty.
The land management cooperation agreement signed between He Jia and the City Lord could be said to be permanent. If one party breached the contract, they would compensate the other party 100 times the profits. [Initial investment: Since the City Lord and He Jia share a 70 - 30 split, the City Lord will allocate 1,000 square meters of land to meet the system's profit requirement.] As for the construction funds, Elder Lu would pay 70% of the money, and He Jia would pay 30%. After the City Lord came forward, the system reward information would be guaranteed. He Jia signed a loan of 150,000 gold coins with the bank. The interest was 10,000 gold coins, and the bank would automatically deduct 80 silver coins from him every day. It would take about 800 years in the game to pay off the loan.
A three-story building would be built on 400 square meters of land. The first floor would be a pawnshop and a bank, while the second and third floors would be special military affairs agencies. Next to the pawnshop was a road that could accommodate four carriages and two sidewalks at the same time. At the end of the road was the yamen.
The 1,000 square meters of land behind the pawnshop and yamen would be used to build a six-story building called the Sincere Orchid Building.(Why was it such a difficult name? It was because it was the City Lord and Elder Lu's name. He Jia used You Bailan's name. The reason was that his wife knew about his life and death.) The underground floor was the treasure storage area. The first and second floors would be the official martial arts skill imparting center, the third floor would be the auction hall, the fourth floor would be the residence of the on-duty personnel, the fifth floor would be the residence of He Jia, and the sixth floor would be the sentry post and the meeting place of the special personnel. On the side of the building was a station and carriage parking lot. There were two tower sentries beside the carriage parking lot. Behind the building was the city defense training base. The materials that the officials needed to appraise were placed at the city defense soldier training base.
He Jia's appraisal area was on the first floor near the city lord's mansion. Behind He Jia was a curtain door. Once He Jia retreated, he could run to the city defense soldier training base and then escape to the city lord's mansion to take refuge. The person who wanted to appraise the item had to place the item on the plate, and the special service staff would hand it over to He Jia, who would then appraise it. He Jia had a total of four second-rate experts and six third-rate experts as guards.
Fortunately, He Jia didn't break down You Bai Lan's card. Otherwise, his body would naturally have You Bai Lan's aura. Ten days later, because Zhang Shenjian was still not found, his two guards still did not wake up. Grace City invited two Taoist priests, but they found that the two guards had been cursed with a Soul Trapping Curse, causing their souls to be bound and unable to fuse with their bodies. Later, the curse was lifted. It was inferred that Zhang Shenjian should have died in the hands of the people of the netherworld. They followed the aura and captured him, but they could not find him in the city. In the end, they left it at that.
