Stewards, motivated by promised rewards, brought large groups to line up outside the wine shop, intending to stay overnight to secure the coveted wine. The shopkeeper was overwhelmed by the crowd's dedication, while Lin Yi, though unsurprised by their desire for the wine, was intrigued by their extreme measures.

These guys, in order to be the first to grab the wine tomorrow, have come here to queue up this early.

And it is obvious that all of them have the same idea.

As a result, by tomorrow, many of these people won’t be able to buy any.

Moreover, according to the report from his subordinates, these people have come here with their entire families, each bringing quite a number of household servants.

In doing so, there’s a likelihood that a group of them will rush in, and in the end, only a few among them might manage to buy, meaning only a few households can acquire some.

Clearly, this is neither reasonable nor fair.

Especially as these people are bound to resort to fighting over it.

When that time comes, should anything bad occur, that’s not what he wants.

At that thought, he immediately ordered the shopkeeper there to start making queue-specific barriers.

Make the entrance resemble something like amusement park lines.

Which means people line up in a spiral inside, circling left and right, ensuring everyone gets their spot and order is maintained.

As for any potential conflicts among those entering the spiral barriers, it’s unavoidable, and such occurrences are bound to happen.

After thinking it through, Lin Yi gave up on this idea.

Then, looking at the paper in front of him, he suddenly came up with a plan, and promptly issued an order, which the shopkeeper received quickly.

The shopkeeper, upon receiving the order, immediately began to act, and for those outside, he didn’t pay much attention. Instead, he returned to his room to prepare.

In less than half an hour, the shopkeeper emerged, holding a large wooden barrel as big as a modern-day washing machine. Even for the shopkeeper, it was quite a struggle to lift.

Moreover, the barrel had clearly undergone special treatment, with a thick lid fitted on top, and only a small round hole through which a hand could reach.

Emerging, the shopkeeper promptly instructed his subordinates, "Follow me with this to the entrance."

Upon seeing this, his subordinates immediately stepped forward to assist in carrying the large wooden barrel, and the two of them proceeded directly to the store entrance.

As this happened, the early birds gathered there all turned to look, puzzled at the shopkeeper’s figure.

Especially after seeing the large barrel, their curiosity piqued, not knowing what tricks this person was up to today or what exactly was planned.

Of course, there was one thing they were sure of: they dared not stir trouble nor ask questions.

After all, considering the shopkeeper’s position, even though he was just a small shopkeeper, the Emperor stood behind him. Who would dare provoke such a figure, or have the nerve to act out?

As everyone watched, their eyes fixed on the shop entrance, the shopkeeper approached and loudly addressed everyone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, listen up. Continuing as we are is not feasible; no one should wait here till night.

Although there is no curfew now, so many people congregating at the store isn’t ideal.

If seen by soldiers, it might cause trouble, which is why a special rule from above has been made."

Hearing this, the crowd’s eyes lit up at the possibility that the shopkeeper didn’t want them queuing here, yet was unwilling to send them away outright.

With new instructions from above, could it be everyone would get a chance to buy the wine?

All at once, everyone’s spirits lifted with anticipation, eagerly looking at the shopkeeper, waiting for his words before rushing to buy the wine.

"So, shopkeeper, does this mean we can all buy wine? Is there no limit today? Haha, that would be wonderful, I’ll take 100 vats first."

"You’ve got quite the appetite! Today, our household is buying out the wine, our master said as much as there is, we’ll take."

"Oh please, why all the fussing? Do you think noble rank makes you superior? Let me tell you, we also have one of the Six Ministers in our house, and today we’ll need at least 100 vats as well."

"Hey, hey, hey, don’t you try to intimidate people with rank, even if our master doesn’t rank as high as yours, surely we can at least get a share of the wine, we’re not asking for much, just 20 vats, 20 is enough."
