Dugu Clan is located in the east of Luoyang City. It occupies hundreds of acres of land in Luoyang City, where every inch of land is precious, and builds a huge and gorgeous manor. The walls around the manor are like city walls, seven or eight meters high, and there are soldiers on them.
When guarding, the gate is like a gate tower. The tall gate is larger and thicker than the Wengcheng gate that Ye Chen saw in Mingyue Village. It is simply as exaggerated as a city within a city.
And this is just the residence of the Dugu Clan in Luoyang City, not the ancestral home of the Dugu Clan.
When Ye Chen arrived, the main door of the valve was still closed, but the left auxiliary door was already open. A thin man was standing at the door walking back and forth. When he saw the carriage coming and stopping at the door, he immediately straightened his expression to greet him.
come over.
For a high-ranking clan like the Dugu Clan, the front door will only be opened to welcome very important people, such as the masters of the four major clans, or official envoys on behalf of the clan masters, or the top masters in the martial arts world, or first-class sects.
Only the sect leader will open it, and others will not receive such treatment.
The main door is difficult to open, and the left and right auxiliary doors are not so easy to enter. It must be opened by visitors with a certain status, such as innate masters, important members of the upper class families, etc. In this era, the left is respected, and the left and right auxiliary doors represent
In order to show the importance to the guests, Ye Chen opened the left side door when he arrived, which meant that he was quite valued in the eyes of the Dugu clan.
Of course, in addition to the main entrance, left and right auxiliary doors, these high doors also have side doors, which are specially designed for the entry of some servants or ordinary guests.
When the thin man saw Ye Chen and Dugu Ding getting out of the car together, he immediately came up to him with a smile and said with cupped hands:
"On the orders of the Valve Master, I came here to greet you sir!"
At this time, Dugu Ding added:
"Mr. Ye!"
This was when Dugu Ding asked him his name in the car. Ye Chen changed his name back to his real name. He used to be called Mr. Niu, which was a gang name in the bandit den. Now it is too shameful to say it, and it will also be used by these high-ranking people.
Taking it lightly will cause all kinds of trouble.
The thin man immediately changed his words and gave guidance with his empty hand:
"Mr. Ye, please!"
Ye Chen was not polite, nodded, and entered the left side door with Dugu Ding.
Called the auxiliary door, it is actually five meters wide, enough to accommodate two carriages entering side by side, but it is still a little short of the main door, which is more than a dozen wide.
After passing through the gate, there is a huge square inside. The ground is paved with thick white stones. It is flat and neat enough to accommodate thousands of soldiers lining up for drills.
On the other side of the square is a main hall covering an area of nearly an acre. The main hall is high up, with dozens of steps going up. Several men are standing on the steps watching Ye Chen come over. He glanced across the people and saw it at a glance.
There is a familiar figure on the far side, Huailong King.
Yes, Huailong King, this guy is still here, and he seems to be having a very pleasant conversation with the Dugu Clan.
There was a dignified-looking middle-aged man in the center on the steps. Even though it was the first time he saw him, Ye Chen still guessed that this was the leader of the Dugu Clan, Dugu Feng.
As soon as he walked up the steps, Dugu Feng held his hands in the distance and laughed loudly:
"I was fascinated to hear about Mr.'s heroic deeds. When I saw him today, he was indeed a hero!"
The leader of the Dugu clan, one of the four major clan leaders in the world, is extremely huge in terms of power and strength. If he were someone else, even the leader of a first-class sect would be cautious and frightened. If he were treated like this, he would definitely be frightened and extremely honored. Unfortunately, Ye
Chen was a man who had been an emperor and unified the world. In his eyes, the power of the Dugu Clan was just that.
In fact, it's not just him. Any descendant, even if he doesn't do well, won't feel honored. This is purely a look down on lower civilizations by higher civilizations, just like no one would ever feel proud because of a
The ants say they feel honored to think highly of you.
Of course, this metaphor is a bit exaggerated, but in fact it is like this in the minds of many descendants, and some people even treat people in the descended world as NPCs.
Ye Chen didn't have this idea, but he would never kill randomly unless there were special circumstances. It was impossible to make him feel honored.
So he smiled, cupped his fists and said:
"The Valve Master is so complimentary!"
Dugu Feng smiled and guided the way with empty hands, but he walked into the main hall first and said as he walked:
"Listen to what Mr. Ming Jing said, sir, do you want to vote for me, the Dugu Clan?"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and nodded:
"That's what I said. I wonder if the Valve Master is willing to take her in."
Dugu Feng stroked his chin without a beard and said with a smile:
"Sir, if you are willing to join, of course Dugu Clan welcomes you. If you have a husband, it will be even more powerful..."
Dugu Feng seemed to be looking forward to it and talked eloquently, but his words were very vague and had the characteristics of an aristocratic family. This reminded Ye Chen of the words of the civil servants and generals who were recruited by the lord in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. They were quite characteristic of this world.
Unfortunately, Ye Chen didn't catch a cold at all.
He didn't show it, and cooperated with him with an embarrassed yet polite smile.
Not long after, the touching scene of the encounter between the protagonist and the famous official came to an end. Dugu Feng left with the excuse that he had important matters to attend to, leaving behind Huailong King and Dugu Ding as well as the thin middle-aged man who welcomed him in. This was Dugu Ning, the third steward of the Dugu Clan.
Dugu Ning always had a professional smile on his face and said to Ye Chen:
"The Valve Master has important matters to leave, but he had previously given instructions to arrange accommodation and proper treatment for the gentleman."
He paused and continued:
"The Lord of the Valve told me that from now on, you will be the first-class minister of the Dugu clan, with a monthly salary of fifty dan, twenty bolts of cloth, two thousand taels of silver, a manor in Guanzhong, a house in Luoyang City, five servants, and a carriage.
A car and some other belongings."
After speaking, he looked up at Ye Chen with envy on his face.
Ye Chen was also quite surprised, because the treatment was indeed quite good.
In this era, the guest ministers of the aristocratic families were divided into three levels, namely Shangqing, Yaqing, and Keqing. Each level was divided into three levels, with the first level being the highest. To be honest, his level of Yaqing was already very high.
Second only to Shangqing.
Ye Chen was not surprised that he was not Shangqing, because Shangqing was either a master-level expert, or he had the support of a force, such as Huailong King. He had joined the Dugu Clan for some reason, and now he was Shangqing, a third-level Shangqing.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, one stone was equal to fifty-three kilograms, and fifty stones was equal to more than one thousand five hundred kilograms. In other words, when he joined the Dugu clan, his monthly salary was more than fifteen hundred kilograms of grain, and twenty fine horses.
Thick silk, said to be cloth, actually refers to thick satin. After all, it is impossible for a wealthy family to give ordinary linen cloth and two thousand taels of silver.
The above is the monthly salary. In addition, there is a house in Luoyang City, a manor like Mingyue Village somewhere in Guanzhong, as well as five servants, a luxury carriage, five servants, and some miscellaneous things. Of course, the servants' salary is their own
