Such courteous treatment quelled their anger at being kept outside the city, and the foreigners, in groups of three, strolled around the city under the guidance of the etiquette ladies.
"Gentlemen, there is a special currency in the city of Kucha called Qin Daqian, which can be exchanged for gold, silver, jewelry, grain, cattle, sheep, horses, camels and other items."
"It can be used for all transactions and consumption within the city. If there is any surplus, it can be exchanged for cash when leaving the city."
The first stop for these hostesses was the exchange counter.
These people came from all over the world, and the currencies they brought were all their own country's currencies. They were of no use to outsiders, so the wicked man copied the casino chip system to facilitate centralized management.
Of course, a handling fee is charged when exchanging the currency, and another handling fee is charged when cashing it out, so they take money from both ends!
Since they were already there, they couldn't possibly not make a purchase. These wealthy families readily took out their money to exchange for Qin coins, while the hostesses stood patiently waiting.
Anticipating a large number of people exchanging currency, and knowing that wealthy and powerful individuals dislike waiting, the exchange office has a total of thirty counters to exchanging currency for customers as quickly as possible.
It must be said that the wicked husband's thinking was very thoughtful and considerate, which earned him high praise from these people.
Putting everything else aside, their service attitude and thoughtfulness are unprecedented.
Those who finished redeeming their currency left the redemption area and continued their stroll under the guidance of the hostesses.
"Distinguished guests, please take a look. This is the only five-star inn in the city. Its interior is luxuriously decorated, and we guarantee you will have a comfortable stay." The hostess led them to the hotel as their first stop.
"It has a total of eighty rooms, including five top-class suites. We strongly recommend that all distinguished guests stay here."
"Of course, the five-star inn is quite expensive. Those with slightly less money can stay in the three- or four-star inns over there. However, the facilities and location are not as good as the five-star inn, but the price is much lower."
People, whether Chinese or foreign, value face. In front of these beautiful women, what man would admit he's not good enough?
Who among those who can come to this market isn't a high-ranking official or a wealthy man?
Immediately, countless shouts erupted from the crowd.
"Give me a room. I've had a long and tiring journey, so I must stay here and have a proper experience."
"I want three rooms, one suite, and the other two for my servants."
"I want one too..."
To demonstrate their strength, they all began to scramble for it.
"Rooms are limited, first come, first served!" Several beautiful hostesses came out of the inn and said in a sweet voice.
As soon as the words were spoken, the foreigners rushed inside, only to be stunned by the spacious and magnificent lobby as soon as they entered the inn.
If the lobby is this luxurious, you can only imagine how luxurious the rooms must be!
A group of people pushed and shoved their way to the counter and began scrambling for rooms.
The counter was still staffed by young and beautiful women with warm smiles on their faces, who began checking people in.
After checking in, guests are naturally led to their rooms by maids, while luggage is carried by young, strong, and handsome waiters. The service is as attentive as ever.
These handsome men and beautiful women, having received months of training from their wicked husbands, coupled with the problems of the times they lived in, truly treated customers like gods.
Of course, the wicked husbands didn't use them for nothing.
Today, the former inhabitants of Loulan and Kucha have all been gathered to live in a small town two miles outside the market. Those who can find work can find jobs and receive wages in this town.
Those who couldn't make it to the city wouldn't be idle; they were given jobs like washing, farming, and weaving, specifically to supply the market.
The wicked man not only did not turn them into slaves, but also gave them wages, a decent life and jobs. Apart from the destruction of their country, their lives were actually better than before.
Therefore, these people actually became loyal to Qin, and did not think about revenge or restoring their country at all. They even considered themselves Qin citizens in their daily lives.
The wicked husband didn't say much about this; he was naturally happy to assimilate him.
"Distinguished guests, this is a casino, where you can find a variety of games developed by the Grand Commandant of Qin. I guarantee you have never seen them before, and you can compete and gamble with distinguished guests from all over the world."
"This is a bathhouse, filled with hot spring water. Hot water is available at all times, and it offers massage and 'health care' services..."
"This is a theater..."
"This is a bar..."
The maids led these foreign bumpkins through various venues meticulously designed by the wicked husband, encompassing all sorts of entertainment from later generations, leaving them dazzled by the sights.
If we hadn't been so far from finished exploring, countless people would probably have already stopped at their favorite spots to enjoy themselves.
Finally, it was noon, and we had explored the entire city.
The distinguished guests all looked exhausted; they were now wilted like frostbitten eggplants, and their earlier enthusiasm had vanished.
They never imagined that the city was so vast. After walking all morning, they were exhausted and their stomachs were growling with hunger.
"You must all be tired!"
"Please come this way. My Grand Commandant has already prepared a banquet for you all at the largest restaurant in the city!"
Upon hearing the words of the woman leading the way, the distinguished guests immediately perked up and quickened their pace, following her to the restaurant.
The restaurant was lavishly decorated, with dazzling gold and glittering ornaments. The tables and chairs were made of the finest wood and were carved with exquisite patterns.
Each table was set with exquisite tableware and a variety of delicious dishes, their aromas so enticing that they made one's mouth water.
"Distinguished guests, today's banquet has been meticulously prepared by the city's top culinary team, ensuring that you will enjoy your meal to the fullest."
"Considering that our distinguished guests come from all over the world and have different tastes, my Grand Commandant has prepared a variety of dishes with different styles and flavors. Please help yourselves to whatever you like. This is a 'buffet'," the leading lady said with a smile, while the maids assisted in guiding the guests.
"buffet!?"
This unheard-of way of eating piqued the interest of the barbarians, who quickly picked up plates, knives, forks, and other utensils.
During the banquet, a variety of delicacies were served one after another, ranging from rare mountain delicacies to local specialties.
The people of various ethnic groups personally selected and tasted the delicacies while enjoying the song and dance performances arranged in the restaurant, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere.
In this atmosphere, even guests meeting for the first time quickly become friends, exchanging their experiences and interesting stories.
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, the banquet was drawing to a close.
The wicked man then appeared, raised his cup in a toast, and said, "Thank you all for coming. If there has been any inadequacy in our hospitality, please forgive me. You are free to do as you please this afternoon. You may rest or visit all the facilities in the city. Tonight, I, the Grand Commandant, will hold a banquet and the first auction."
An auction?!
The barbarians present suppressed their curiosity and quickly raised their glasses in return, expressing their respect for the wicked husband and their appreciation for the grand event.
