In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

Of course, the aforementioned figures only represent Li Ming's current military strength. Every day, Li Ming has a constant stream of modified and upgraded ships being launched and commissioned, including various converted freighters and fishing boats. Strictly speaking, Li Ming already possesses military strength comparable to a large country. Even before the cataclysm, this strength would have been at least at the level of a world power, certainly not weaker than the Tianhui Empire.

His naval and air force power far surpasses the Tianhui Empire. Of course, for Li Ming, as long as he is willing, he can completely inflate his military strength to an incredible extent. Did you really think that the quantity amplification was just a joke?

But for Li Ming, his current military strength is already sufficient, and it can be described as globally invincible.

Do you really think it costs little to support a large army?

To say nothing else, Li Ming's current income through the Chamber of Commerce and the investment in supporting these troops are barely balanced.

To say nothing else, the offshore fishing operations of just the navy alone can bring huge profits, coupled with the military's protection of mining bases in various regions. To some extent, Li Ming's army is also very effective in protecting his interests.

Even so, Li Ming's expenses are still not small, not just the army's expenses, but also the operating costs of other bases.

For example, the research department, and the relatively large medical system he supports, etc. That's why Li Ming is trying to expand his sources of income in every possible way, trying to achieve an overall balance of payments.

As of now, Li Ming can still achieve an overall balance of payments, and can even achieve a surplus of materials.

However, in the apocalypse, many things cannot be simply calculated from an economic cost perspective, but must be considered from a global perspective. Therefore, the social benefits and value brought by many of Li Ming's measures are also difficult to calculate.

In any case, in general, Li Ming has already maximized the use of his current available resources, taking into account both people's livelihoods and his own interests, achieving a relatively good balance.

Li Ming can now completely say that the entire empire's two capitals and 33 provinces are on my shoulders!

It can be said that every policy change of Li Ming will bring many uncertainties to ordinary survivors, such as rising prices of basic living materials or the large-scale printing of integral tickets, which will severely exploit the survivors.

However, Li Ming still disdains exploiting ordinary survivors. What's the point of cutting the leeks at the bottom?

If you want to cut, you have to cut the leeks of the rich. Robbing the rich and helping the poor, and reducing the gap between the rich and the poor are the core elements of stability, even in the apocalypse.

Therefore, Li Ming's pricing of materials is also very peculiar. The prices of materials related to basic people's livelihoods are generally not very expensive. As long as the survivors are willing to go out to work or collect materials as scavengers, solving their daily livelihood is definitely not a problem.

However, the prices of some materials for wealthy people's consumption are absolutely high beyond your imagination. As the saying goes, I never rip off the poor!

After all, the things that the rich and the poor pursue are different. The poor pursue survival, and the rich pursue a sense of security and a comfortable life.

In order to exploit the rich, Li Ming's fresh fruits were quickly launched on the market, with limited sales. Each market sold 100 kilograms of fresh fruits a day. These fresh fruits made countless wealthy people flock to them.

There was no way. Eating all kinds of canned foods and other foods all day long was really too greasy. After all, fruit cans and fresh fruits are two different concepts.

The rich are not short of money, so the fresh fruits launched by Li Ming's market are basically sold out every day as soon as they are launched. The consumption power of the rich is really not short of this money.

In addition to these fruits, the previous luxury goods that could improve the quality of life have not reduced their prices much. Although sales are not very high, the profit is high, which has attracted countless rich wives.

In short, Li Ming is also exploiting the rich like crazy. Many rich people are very unwilling, but there is no way. After all, some people were dissatisfied before and took retaliatory actions, but in the face of Li Ming's powerful military strength, they were vulnerable.

So these rich people can only choose to endure or let these stupid women get out!

Time quickly came to September 25, 2028 of the Solar Calendar. After about a month and a half of construction by Li Ming's Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce, Li Ming's seawater desalination plant was officially completed.

With the completion of the seawater desalination plant, the problem of scarce freshwater resources that has plagued countless survivors has finally been effectively improved.

"Hello, listeners, this is the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce Radio Station. The following is an important announcement: Thanks to the unremitting efforts of our Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce, our great Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce has finally built a total of eight large-scale seawater desalination plants by the sea. These 10 large-scale seawater desalination plants can produce approximately 9 million tons of freshwater resources per day."

"Our Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce executives, considering the needs of ordinary survivors and in order to recover the cost of building large-scale factories, each survivor can purchase two liters of freshwater per day to maintain survival, priced at 2 integral tickets for two liters of water."

"Each survivor needs to bring their legal ID to purchase. After exceeding two liters of water, the price will increase to 1 integral ticket per liter of water........."

"In addition, this is the first batch of seawater desalination plants we have built. If the market response is good, we will continue to build related projects to ensure that more people can survive........"

This news was not only broadcast through the radio, but also in order to spread the news more quickly, Li Ming's army also dispatched, broadcasting throughout the country in the form of mobile loudspeaker trucks. In short, the inland areas can also purchase freshwater from the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce.

The price is the same throughout the country, and countless survivors are overjoyed. People can not eat, but they cannot not drink water.

Especially in this extremely hot weather, even if you don't go out during the day, the indoor temperature is still not low, and people will sweat involuntarily even when lying in bed.

In this case, you must drink a certain amount of salt water to replenish the water in your body, otherwise it is easy to experience dehydration symptoms, and finally electrolyte imbalance in the body will lead to death.

Therefore, the emergence of this news from Li Ming's Chamber of Commerce undoubtedly gave countless survivors great hope. One person, one integral ticket for two liters of water a day, this price is already very conscientious.

No one thinks that the price of the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce is expensive, after all, doing business has costs.....
