The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"Master, our main products, currently under expedited production, are still canned beef and pork. Daily output is roughly around 50,000 cans. But don't worry, if we encounter an emergency and need to increase production capacity, this production line can be upgraded at any time. Achieving a maximum daily output of 100,000 cans is absolutely no problem!"

The factory owner is about fifty years old, not very tall and a little thin, but he looks energetic.

The old man was wearing a black suit that was well-cut and had smooth lines, which made his already tall figure look even more straight and neat.

In order to welcome Zhang Ye's visit, he put in a lot of effort. Not only did he dress himself neatly from head to toe, he even went to the barber shop to create a fashionable slicked-back hairstyle, looking like a typical successful person.

After hearing the boss's report on production, Zhang Ye, who was walking in front of the crowd, nodded slightly to show his approval.

He put his hands behind his back and continued walking forward with steady steps.

His eyes swept across the busy, noisy but orderly production workshop in front of him. When he saw the relatively simple and backward equipment and many workers busy relying on pure manual operations to complete various processes, he couldn't help but frown and asked softly.

"As for production, I'm not particularly worried. However, there is one thing we need to pay special attention to: the source of these meat raw materials must be strictly controlled to ensure they are clean, hygienic and of high quality."

"After all, these cans will eventually be sent to the front lines for the soldiers to eat."

Having said that, Zhang Ye paused for a moment, his expression becoming increasingly serious. He emphasized, "If something goes wrong in this regard and causes a food safety incident, it will be no small matter!"

"Master, don't worry about that!" Upon hearing this, the boss confidently assured: "Our factory has its own breeding base, so you can be completely assured of the source of the meat."

Perhaps fearing that Zhang Ye wouldn't believe him, the boss picked up a can of food from the production line and tasted it in front of everyone.

"Furthermore, before all military orders are produced, members of the security division will come to clear the factory and conduct a thorough inspection. Every corner of the factory will be thoroughly checked. During production, every worker entering the workshop will also be inspected. Patrols will be stationed within a kilometer of the factory at all times."

"Strictly prevent strangers from approaching and give the enemy no chance at all!"

"Okay, I'm relieved that you have this preparation." Zhang Ye nodded with a smile, successfully picked up a box of unsealed cans from the production line, took the chopsticks handed to him by the boss and tasted it.

I have to say that the taste is quite good. Although it is not as satisfying as fresh meat, it is enough to ensure the daily calorie consumption for the soldiers on the front line.

Moreover, this is just one item in the meal plan. Together with canned fruit and a certain amount of vegetables and rice as staple food, it is enough to ensure that every soldier can eat well.

"We must keep it up! Quality must be put first no matter what. It doesn't matter if the production speed is a little slower, but there must not be any discounts or concessions on quality!" Zhang Ye explained with a serious expression.

He knew very well that the soldiers on the front battlefield were fighting hard, and if there were any loopholes in the logistics support, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Please rest assured, Marshal! When I first took on this mission, I signed a military order with General Fang. If anything goes wrong, you don't have to do anything. I will chop off my own head first to apologize!"

The boss's eyes are extremely determined and he is full of confidence in his quality.

He knew very well that in Qizhou, no one would dare to have the slightest intention of cheating when it came to military matters.

Especially when it comes to the supply of food and drinks, there is no room for any carelessness.

After all, if something goes wrong with this thing, it will affect more than just one or two people. Exterminating your entire clan would be the least of your worries. They might even dig up your ancestral graves and whip your corpse!

"How much do the workers earn now?" After carefully observing the basic production process, Zhang Ye suddenly changed the subject and looked at the boss sharply, obviously wanting to learn more about the workers' salary and benefits here.

After all, if even the wages earned by those working here are barely enough to support their families, then the difficulties faced by the vast majority of people at the bottom of society may be even more severe.

Facing Zhang Ye's inquiry, the boss knew very well that this leader was notoriously intolerant of any flaws. On such critical issues, he absolutely could not conceal or lie in the slightest.

So, he answered honestly, "Compared to the same period, during the production of military orders, workers' wages were reduced by about 15 percent."

Perhaps worried that such an answer would cause unnecessary trouble, the boss paused for a moment and then hurriedly added an explanation.

"However, don't just look at this aspect. Although wages have decreased, the government has also given our company strong support. They have established schools for our employees' children to attend free of charge, and they regularly distribute agricultural supplies such as seeds, pesticides, and fertilizers to every household. Furthermore, the government has significantly reduced various taxes. All things considered, our living standards are much better now than before!"

At this point, some of the workers around nodded in agreement.

One of the older workers said with emotion.

"Yes, we are all sensible and know how to repay kindness. The peaceful and happy life we ​​have now is all earned by the soldiers of the Independence Army fighting bravely on the front lines! So, even if our wages are a little low temporarily, we have no complaints. We will grit our teeth and get through this difficult time. Life will definitely get better and better in the future!"

In response, Zhang Ye remained silent for a moment and said nothing.

He understood that these were just polite words. Not to mention the common people at the grassroots level, even those who had attended university would definitely feel resentful if their salary suddenly decreased by 15%.

But he had no choice in this matter. The financial situation was indeed tight at the moment. On the premise of ensuring quality, he could only compress the factory's profits.
