Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 394 Chapter 392: Recruitment (Subscription Request)
In the study,
The sunlight poured through the window, falling on Julius Martin, on the desk, and in the room, bringing enough warmth.

But the young man only felt cold and full of malice.

He looked at Luo Yi, their eyes met, and he could see seriousness in the other's eyes.

He just felt that the other party was playing a trick on him, and a ball of anger rose in his heart, burning his reason.

He had the urge to vent, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into a wronged accusation.

"Since you don't want to use my plan, why did you summon me? Is it just to humiliate me?"

Luo Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed.

He asked bluntly: "Why are you worthy of my humiliation? Or, what benefit can humiliating you bring me?"

As he said this, he rummaged through the box under the desk, and finally found a pile of information and placed it on the desk.

“This is your design plan. It has obvious advantages. It fully considers the funding and material issues. It divides the urban planning into many stages. The materials, supplies and gold treads required for each stage are clearly marked.

Therefore, I can allocate funds based on the financial situation of Xianhualing to ensure that the construction project can proceed properly.

But, you are too young after all.

Compared with your predecessors, your experience in design and planning is still a little behind."

Julius Martin pursed his lips slightly, feeling somewhat unconvinced but also somewhat discouraged.

Because, he can use words to deceive, but he cannot deceive himself.

He also knew his shortcomings. In terms of experience, as a fledgling designer, he was far behind.

Therefore, he would start from the city construction costs and resource supply. In his opinion, the nobles were stingy and only hoped that their warehouses would only have money going in and not going out.

The cost of building a city is so huge that even if the man in front of him is a famous rich man, it would be difficult for him to afford it!
That's why he chose this entry point in a cunning way, hoping to impress the other party.

But now I realize that the other party is much more shrewd than I thought.

However, he suddenly realized something and asked, "Since the Earl has rejected my proposal, why did he want to see me?"

"Of course I want to give you a job!"

"Work?"

Julius Martin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately shook his head: "I don't lack work!"

What he said was true. Those who could register as designers in the empire were usually proficient in painting, sculpture, mathematics and other advanced knowledge. Most of them were also gifted and worked as magicians.

Even if they are not engaged in architectural design, they have no shortage of job opportunities, and even many high-paying industries are vying to invite them.

Keluo Yi said: "What if I invite you to help me build a city?"

"Build a city?"

"Yes, it's about building a city!"

Luo Yi said this, and took out another dozen documents and pushed them over: "You can take a look at this design plan first!"

Julius Martin looked puzzled, even a little annoyed, but he still picked up the thick information and quickly flipped through it.

Roy waved his hand, asked him to sit down, and looked at Mira Greenman again.

Mira was smart enough and went out immediately. After a while, she brought tea and snacks and placed them on the desk.

Julius Martin was flipping through the pages faster and faster, looking more and more anxious. During this time, he took a sip of tea, but because he was too anxious, he got scalded again.

Finally, he closed the document, revealing the large words "Plan for the Reconstruction of the Old and New Brussels Cities" on the cover.

At this moment, he seemed a little dazed, as if he had suffered a blow and couldn't recover.

After a long while, he asked, "Which great designer came up with this design?"

Luo Yi uttered one word: "Me!"

Julius Martin immediately looked up, indignant: "Impossible! If you have this ability, why did you invite us here?"

"Of course, this plan is based on the advantages of your design, and is based on the needs and funds of the Flower Society.

how do you feel? "

“It’s already perfect!”

"Then if I want you to preside over the construction of this city, would you be willing?"

"I'm going to build this city? You want me to build it according to this design?"

Julius Martin seemed to be a little moved, but the next second, he shook his head firmly: "I don't want to!"

"Can you tell me why?"

"I aspire to build my own city, so of course I can't use someone else's plan."

Luo Yi exposed it mercilessly: "Even if I used your plan, the city is still mine!"

Julius Martin was choked and speechless, but he still stiffened his neck and said, "I just don't like it!"

Luo Yi thought about it, took out another document, pushed it over, and said, "Can you take a look at this?"

Julius Martin took it, picked it up, and began to look through it again.

This time, he looked very slowly, very slowly, his eyes full of shock, disbelief, indescribable, and even worship!

"This city, this city?" "I will build it when I have more money. What do you think?"

"Very good, very good. This is the magical city I've always dreamed of."

"If you are willing to help me, you will be in charge of building this city."

This time, Julius Martin really hesitated.

The struggle on his face was so obvious that beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead, but he still said with difficulty: "I refuse!"

"I want to build a city of my own!"

This was the second time he reiterated this reason. It was more like strengthening his own heart than trying to convince Luo Yi!

Luo Yi stretched out his hand, very slowly, but still pressed it on the information, then pulled it back.

Julius Martin obviously held the information tightly, but his strength was no match for Roy's.

The thick document was pulled out, and then, with Julius Martin looking reluctant, Loy flipped it open and found a page.

Pointing at the design of what was clearly a square, he stretched out his hand and nodded, then said slowly, "If you are willing to accept this job, there can be a sculpture here when the city is built."

"You can have your name and life story engraved underneath your sculpture."

"This is my final concession. If you don't want to, forget it."

After saying that, Luo Yi closed the document, pressed one hand on it, and pulled it back little by little, as if he was going to put it away.

But the next second, two hands pressed on it, pressing very hard.

Luo Yi looked up and saw a smiling face. Julius Martin was grinning from ear to ear. He flattered him in an almost exaggerated manner, "Mr. Earl, can you not lie to me?"

"You can go out and ask around. I have never broken my word before."

"Then it's settled. From now on, you will be my boss and I will be employed by you until the construction of these two cities is completed."

"That will be a long time in the future. Are you sure you don't regret it?"

"No regrets! Absolutely no regrets!"

"Didn't you just say that you wanted to build a city of your own?"

“Hahaha, I still have self-awareness. The city that has been built cannot be mine.

So, it is better to build a new city that will surely be famous in the world in the future. By then, my name will also be recorded in history books."

"Since you said so, I will assume that you are willing?"

"Of course!"

Julius Martin left, carrying two large boxes that blocked his view, and left happily, his face full of excitement.

After Mira helped him open the door and watched him leave, she returned to Luo Yi.

She couldn't help but ask, "My Lord Earl, you seem to think highly of him?"

Luo Yi smiled and said, "I hired nine designers. Except for him, they are all well-known designers.
Do you think I'd let a flashy idiot into this?"

"This is a talented person. He is not bad in terms of knowledge or ability. Most importantly, he is cheap and easy to sell!"

"But even so, it's a bit risky to entrust him with such an important task as building a city?"

Luo Yi asked back: "Then who do you think among these people who received flowers can be competent for such a highly professional job?"

"Do I have such talent under my command? Or, are you going to let me do it myself?"

"what?!"

Mira was also speechless, but she asked from a different angle: "Having said that, is it really that urgent to build a city?"

Luo Yi smiled bitterly: "It's urgent. The truth is, the industrial zone is constantly expanding, and there are more and more workers. They also need to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep after get off work!"

"The slums are already overwhelmed, the living environment is worrying, and the rent increase is serious!"

"This kind of thing must be stopped, and it must be stopped as soon as possible. Besides, these workers have money in their hands, and they have to spend it."

"Build houses, build communities, improve the living environment, and provide better and more concentrated educational resources.

This will help popularize and upgrade education, help industrial development, and cultivate more talents.”

You have to admit that what Luo Yi said before about building a city was just an excuse, but now, with the continuous expansion of industrial areas, the living environment has deteriorated, and prices have a tendency to rise, he has become more active than anyone else.

Overcrowding is by no means a good thing and can easily lead to various man-made disasters.

Not to mention the plague, fire, sewage, feces and the like, even Ang has reported that those gangs are showing signs of resurgence.

This is something Luo Yi cannot tolerate, so he must build a city!
It was also driven by this motivation that the next day, Roy began to build a team for Julius Martin.

He assigned to him most of the masons, carpenters, blacksmiths and stonemasons in Brussels, and gave Julius Martin the right to recruit workers.

He even selected several backup stewards from the manor to help manage the staff and handle trivial matters.

Julius Martin did not disappoint Roy. Most of the team members he brought stayed and were assigned to different positions, taking up most of the important positions.

A construction team was established just like that.

At this point, on August 314, 8 of the New God Calendar, the Imperial Ambassador, Lord Robin Water, finally came to visit in person!
Luo Yi knew that some things should have a result!
