Dugu Valve, located in the east of Luoyang City, occupies a piece of hundreds of acres in Luoyang City, where every inch of land is valuable, and has established a huge and gorgeous manor, the surrounding walls of the manor are like city walls, up to seven or eight meters, and there are soldiers guarding it, the gate is like a city gate tower, and the tall city gate is bigger and thicker than the urn city gate that Ye Chen saw in Mingyuezhuang, which is simply an exaggerated city within a city.

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

When Ye Chen arrived, the main gate of the valve was still closed, but the left side door had already been opened, and a thin man was standing at the door walking back and forth.

For a high-level valve like Dugu Valve, the main gate will only be opened to welcome very important people, such as the valve master of the four major gates, or the official messenger who comes on behalf of the valve master, or the top grandmaster-level master in the martial arts, or the first-class sect master, etc., will be opened, and the rest of the people will not have this kind of treatment.

The main door is difficult to open, and the left and right side doors are not so easy to enter, and they must be opened by visitors with a certain status, such as congenital masters, important clansmen of the upper class family gate valves, etc., in this era, the left and right side doors represent the importance of the guests, Ye Chen came to open the left side door, which means that he is quite valued in the eyes of the Dugu valve.

Of course, in addition to the main gate and the left and right auxiliary doors, these high-door valves also have side doors, which are specially for some subordinates or ordinary guests to enter.

When the thin man saw Ye Chen and Dugu Ding getting out of the car together, he immediately greeted him with a smile and said:

"On the orders of the lord of the valve, I have come to greet Mr."

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 be called Niu Ye was a bandit in the bandit's den, but now it is too uncompelled to say it, and he will also be despised by these high-ranking clans, which will cause all kinds of trouble.

The thin man immediately changed his words, and instructed with a false hand:

"Mr. Ye, please!"

Ye Chen was not polite, nodded, and entered the left side door with Dugu Ding.

The secondary gate is actually five meters wide, enough for two carriages to enter side by side, but it is still a cut short of the main entrance, which is more than ten meters wide.

Passing through the gate, there is a huge square inside, the ground is paved with thick white strips of stone, flat and neat, enough to accommodate thousands of soldiers to line up and drill here.

On the other side of the square is a large hall covering an area of nearly one acre, the main hall is high, dozens of steps up, several men are standing high on the steps watching Ye Chen come over, his eyes swept among several people, and at a glance he saw a familiar figure on the very edge, Huailong King.

Yes, Huailong King, this guy is still here, and it seems that he has a good conversation with Dugu Valve.

Faintly clustered on the steps was a middle-aged man who looked majestic, although it was the first time he saw it, Ye Chen still guessed that this should be Dugu Valve Lord Dugu Peak.

As soon as he walked up the steps, Dugu Feng gave up his hand and laughed:

"I heard about the heroic deeds of Mr., it is fascinating, and when I see it today, I am really heroic!"

Dugu Valve Lord, one of the four major lords in the world, both in terms of power and strength is huge, if it is someone else, even the master of a first-class sect will be cautious and panicked, if he is treated like this, he will definitely be sincerely afraid and extremely honored, but unfortunately, Ye Chen is a person who has been the emperor to unify the world, and the power of Dugu Valve is just like that in his eyes.

In fact, not only him, but any adventer, even if he is not very good, will not have any sense of honor, this is purely the contempt of the higher civilization to the lower civilization, just like no one will ever feel honored because an ant says that he is optimistic about you.

Of course, this metaphor is a bit exaggerated, but in fact, this is the case in the minds of many Adventists, and some people even treat people in the Invent world as NPCs.

Ye Chen didn't have this kind of thought, but if there were no special circumstances, he would never kill at will, and it would never be possible to make him feel honored.

So he smiled, clenched his fists, and said:

"The valve master praised it!"

Dugu Feng smiled, led the way with a false hand, but he walked to the main hall first, and said as he walked:

"Listen to what Mr. Spiegel said, does Mr. want to vote for me Duguvale?"

Ye Chen groaned for a moment and nodded:

"That's what I said, I don't know if the lord is willing to take it in."

Dugu Feng stroked his chin with his hand and did not grow a beard, and said with a smile:

"Mr. is willing to join, of course Dugu Valve is welcome, and Mr. joins like a tiger......."

Dugu Feng seemed to be looking forward to it, and talked eloquently, but what he said was very vague and very family-specific, which reminded Ye Chen of what the Romance of the Three Kingdoms had said to those Wenchen generals who had been accepted by the lords to vote, but it was quite characteristic of this world, but unfortunately Ye Chen was not cold at all.

He didn't show it, and a smile of embarrassment but politeness matched him.

Not long after, a touching picture of the encounter between the lord and the famous minister ended, and Dugu Feng left under the pretext of having important matters to deal with, leaving the Huailong King and Dugu Ding and the thin middle-aged man who welcomed him in, this is Dugu Ning, the third butler of Dugu Valve.

Dugu Ning kept showing a professional smile on his face, and said to Ye Chen:

"The owner of the valve has something important to leave, but he has been instructed to arrange a place for the gentleman to have a place to live, as well as a proper treatment."

He paused, then continued:

"The owner of the valve confessed, from now on, Mr. will be my Dugu Valve first-class Yaqing, with a monthly salary of fifty stones, twenty horses of cloth, two or two thousand taels of silver, and a manor in the middle of the country, a Luoyang City mansion, five servants, a carriage, and a number of other property."

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

And Ye Chen was also quite surprised, because this treatment was indeed quite good.

In this era, the guest secretary of the family is divided into three classes, namely Shangqing, Yaqing, and Keqing, each level is divided into three classes, the first class is the highest, and his Yaqing is honestly very high, second only to Shangqing.

It's not Shangqing Ye Chen is not surprised, because Shangqing is either a grandmaster-level master, or he has the support of a force, such as Huailong King, he doesn't know how he has joined Dugu Valve, and now it is Shangqing, a third-class Shangqing.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, one stone was equal to fifty-three kilograms, and fifty stones were more than 1,500 kilograms, that is to say, when he joined the Dugu valve, his monthly salary was more than 1,500 kilograms of grain, and twenty horses of good silk thick, which was said to be cloth, but actually referred to as thick satin.

The above is a monthly salary, in addition to a mansion in Luoyang City, a manor like Mingyuezhuang somewhere in Guanzhong, and five servants, a luxury carriage, five servants, and some miscellaneous things. Of course, the servant's salary was paid himself.
