Chapter 204 First Class Yaqing

The Dugu Clan, located in the east of Luoyang City, occupies an area of ​​hundreds of acres in Luoyang City, where every inch of land is precious, and has built a huge and gorgeous manor. The surrounding walls of the manor are like a city wall, seven or eight meters high, and there are soldiers on it. In the guard, the gate is like a city gate tower, the tall city gate is bigger and thicker than the gate of the Wengcheng that Ye Chen saw in Mingyuezhuang, it is simply exaggerated like a city within a city.

And this is just the Dugu Clan's residence in Luoyang City, not the Dugu Clan's ancestral home.

When Ye Chen arrived, the front door of the valve was still closed, but the left side door was already open. A thin man was standing at the door and walking back and forth. When he saw the carriage coming and stopped at the door, he immediately straightened his face and greeted him. come over.

For a high-ranking and powerful family like the Dugu Clan, the front door will only be opened to welcome very important people, such as the four major lords, or the official envoys who come on behalf of the lord, or the top masters in the martial arts, or first-class masters. The suzerain waits to open it, and the rest of the people do not have this kind of treatment.

The main entrance is difficult to open, and the left and right auxiliary doors are not so easy to enter. Only visitors with a certain status can open it, such as innate masters, high-ranking family members, important clansmen, etc. In this era, the left is respected, and the left and right auxiliary doors represent Showing the importance he attaches to the guests, Ye Chen came and opened the left side door, which means that he is quite valued in the eyes of Dugu Clan.

Of course, in addition to the main entrance, the left and right auxiliary doors, these high-ranking lords also have side doors, which are exclusively for servants or ordinary guests to enter.

Seeing Ye Chen and Dugu Ding get out of the car together, the thin man greeted him with a smile and cupped his hands:

"By the order of the lord, I am here to welcome you, sir!"

At this time, Dugu Ding added a sentence on the side:
"Mr. Ye!"

This is when Dugu Ding asked his name in the car, Ye Chen changed back to his real name. He used to call Niu Ye a bandit number in the bandit den, but now it is too unreasonable to say it, and it will be rejected by these high-ranking families Take it lightly, just cause all kinds of trouble.

The thin man changed his words immediately, and guided with empty hands:
"Mr. Ye, please!"

Ye Chen was also polite, nodded, and entered the left side door together with Dugu Ding.

It is said to be a secondary door, but it is actually five meters wide, enough to allow two carriages to enter side by side, but it is still a bit short compared to the main door, which is more than a dozen wide.

Passing through the gate, there is a huge square inside. The ground is paved with thick white stones, flat and tidy, enough to accommodate thousands of soldiers for military drills here.

On the other side of the square is a hall covering an area of ​​nearly acre. The hall is high above, with dozens of steps going up. Several men are standing on the steps watching Ye Chen come over. He glanced at them and saw Ye Chen at a glance. On the far side was a familiar figure, King Huailong.

Yes, King Huailong, this guy is still here, and he seems to be having a good time with the Dugu Clan.

Surrounding the center of the steps is a middle-aged man who looks majestic. Even though he saw it for the first time, Ye Chen still guessed that this should be Dugu Feng, the leader of the Dugu Clan.

As soon as he walked up the steps, Dugu Feng cupped his hands in the distance, laughed loudly and said:
"Hearing about the heroic deeds of Mr. Fascinating, I saw you today, and you are indeed a hero!"

The leader of the Dugu Clan, one of the four great lords in the world, is extremely powerful in terms of power and strength. If someone else sees it, even the leader of a first-class sect will be cautious and fearful. If he is treated like this, he will definitely be terrified and honored. Chen is a person who used to be an emperor to unify the world, so the Dugu Clan's power is just that in his eyes.

In fact, it’s not just him, any descendant, even a bad descendant, will not feel honored. This is purely a high civilization looking down on a low civilization. Ants say they are honored to be optimistic about you.

Of course, this metaphor is a bit exaggerated, but it is actually like this in the hearts of many descendants, and some people even treat people in the descended world as NPCs.

Ye Chen didn't have this kind of thought, but he would never kill at will without special circumstances, and it would be impossible to make him feel so honored.

So he smiled, cupped his fists and said:
"The valve master is absurd!"

Dugufeng smiled and led the way with empty hands, but he walked into the hall first, and said while walking:
"Listen to what Mr. Ming Jing said, does Mr. want to vote for me as Dugu Clan?"

Ye Chen pondered for a while, then nodded:
"That's what I said, I don't know if the lord is willing to take it in."

Dugufeng stroked his chin without a beard, and said with a smile:

"Mr. is willing to join. Of course, the Dugu Clan welcomes it. If you have a gentleman to join, it will be like a tiger with wings."

Dugufeng seemed to be looking forward to it, and talked eloquently, but what he said was very vague and full of aristocratic characteristics, which reminded Ye Chen of the words of the civil servants and generals who were recruited by the lords in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which were quite characteristic of this world. It's a pity that Ye Chen didn't catch a cold at all.

He didn't show it, and cooperated with him with an embarrassed but polite smile.

Not long after, the touching scene of the encounter between the lord and the famous official ended, and Dugufeng left on the pretext of having something important to deal with, leaving behind King Huailong, Dugu Ding and the thin middle-aged man who welcomed him in. This is Dugu Ning, the third housekeeper of the Dugu Clan.

With a professional smile on Dugu Ning's face, he said to Ye Chen:

"The boss has an important business to leave, but he was ordered to arrange a place for the husband, as well as all the treatment."

He paused and continued:
"The lord confesses that from now on, sir, I will be the first-class Yaqing of the Dugu Clan, with a monthly salary of 2000 shi, [-] pieces of cloth, [-] liang of silver, a Guanzhong manor, a Luoyang city house, five servants, and a carriage. , some other property."

After speaking, he looked up at Ye Chen with envy.

And Ye Chen was quite surprised, because the treatment was really good.

In this era, the family's guest officials are divided into three classes, Shangqing, Yaqing, and Keqing. Each class is divided into three classes, and the first class is the highest. To be honest, his class of Yaqing is already very high. Second only to Shangqing.

Ye Chen is not surprised if it is not Shangqing, because Shangqing is either a master-level master, or he has the support of a party, such as King Huailong, he has joined the Dugu Clan for some reason, and now it is Shangqing, the third-class Shangqing.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, one shi was equal to 53 kilograms, and fifty shi was more than 500 kilograms. That is to say, when he joined the Dugu valve, his monthly salary was more than 500 kilograms of grain, and 2000 horses of fine silk. It is cloth, which actually refers to thick satin. At any rate, it is impossible for a high-ranking family to really give ordinary linen and [-] taels of silver.

The above is the monthly salary, in addition to a house in Luoyang City, a manor like Mingyue Manor somewhere in Guanzhong, and five servants, a luxurious carriage, five servants, and some miscellaneous things.Of course, the servants pay their own salaries.
