The soldiers without seats did not cause any trouble and lined up obediently at the door.
One or two businesses were the first to try it, and then other businesses followed suit.
As soon as the door opened, dozens or even hundreds of people rushed in.
The once quiet county town was suddenly brightly lit, bustling with people, and full of life.
At this moment, the traveling merchants selling snacks and treats were also awakened and came out with their loads to test the waters.
To my surprise, as soon as I arrived on the street, all the snacks on my shoulder pole were snatched up, and I never had to give them change.
The income from just one trip is equivalent to a month's earnings!
Upon hearing of the bustling scene on the streets, Liu Bei was shocked.
On the one hand, they were shocked by the purchasing power of Liu Wei's soldiers, and on the other hand, they were even more shocked by Liu Wei's control over his soldiers.
Of course, the army has military discipline, and Zhang Liao was strict in managing his troops.
But Liu Wei told them to relax and have two hours of free time after entering the city to spend the money.
How can one not admire someone who can so utterly harm the people without taking anything for their own benefit?

"The nights are long, and since ordinary people can't afford to visit brothels, they can visit government-run night markets, which is excellent!"
After Liu Wei finished speaking, Liu Bei slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Your Highness, this method is brilliant!"
"If there are many people, I can sell straw sandals, my second brother can sell dates, and my third brother can sell meat. We can enjoy ourselves with the people and make a little money at the same time!"
"Brother, you've had too much to drink!"
When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard that Liu Bei wanted to return to his old ways, they hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
How could a county magistrate be selling straw sandals?
Liu Wei thought Liu Bei's suggestion was quite good, and muttered to himself, "What's so strange about that? There are officials who still drive for Didi and deliver food after work!"
After drinking for a while, Liu Wei was also slightly tipsy, and suddenly asked:
