Chapter 627 Chamber of Commerce Representatives, Chamber of Commerce Division!

Gao Yao wanted to give Li Zhao such a generous treatment because he knew that if he wanted Li Zhao to be truly useful to him, he had to give him enough respect and treatment. Only in this way could Li Zhao be loyal to him and work for him wholeheartedly. All of these are complementary and indispensable.

Li Yi wanted to go to war, which meant that someone was needed to stabilize the situation in the rear. Xiao He was indeed a good candidate, but the affairs in the southern border were numerous and complicated, and he could not control them all by himself. Although Feng Quji and Li Si were there to assist, Gao Yao could not rely entirely on them.

On the one hand, the age of Feng Quji and Li Si is a factor that cannot be ignored. Feng Quji is nearly 70 years old, and although Li Si is slightly younger, he is already over 60. Although they are capable, as they age, they will inevitably make mistakes when handling affairs. Gao Yao naturally understands this, and he does not want to rely on these elderly people for everything, so as to avoid problems at critical moments.

On the other hand, Gao Yao also had his own considerations. He did not want Feng Quji and Li Si to have too much power, so as to prevent them from cultivating their own confidants. After all, one person is thinking about the high salary, and the other is thinking about his own future. In this case, it is difficult to ensure that they will completely put Gao Yao's interests first. Gao Yao needs someone who can assist him wholeheartedly, rather than someone who only considers his own interests. They are all selfish people, so Gao Yao naturally cannot be too at ease.

This is also Gao Yao's purpose in training Li Zhao to be able to hold on. Li Zhao is now just over 35 years old, which is the prime of his life. The key is that with a little training, he can become a capable assistant by his side.

Moreover, Li Zhao's background is very clean. He had been following his teacher as a book boy when he was 5 years old. After that, he had been following the Four Elders of Shangshan. His background is very clean.

The incident at the Hundred Academy Schools made Gao Yao realize a serious problem, that is, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan actually had a large number of people in the dark! Although Gao Yao didn't know how Yi Xiaochuan recruited these people, it was undoubtedly a huge threat.

However, through in-depth thinking about the Baijia Academy incident, Gao Yao also discovered an interesting phenomenon about the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan. He noticed that almost all the people trained by Yi Xiaochuan were famous figures in history, and some of them even had extraordinary deeds. Take Gao Jianli for example, he was a very famous figure in history.

In contrast, those unknown people did not seem to attract Yi Xiaochuan's attention. This was obviously an oversight on his part. It is true that people who left their deeds in history usually have certain abilities and talents, but Yi Xiaochuan's subconscious habit gave Gao Yao an opportunity to take advantage of.

Gao Yao knew that the more easily overlooked a person is, the more likely he is to play an unexpected role at a critical moment. And Li Zhao was such a person who was ignored by Yi Xiaochuan. For Gao Yao, people like Li Zhao were more trustworthy and valuable.

Gao Yao didn't want to cultivate a subordinate of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan around him. Among the Hundred Schools Academy, the only one who could be confirmed was the Mohist School. Gao Yao had no way of confirming whether the other schools had subordinates of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, so Gao Yao had to be careful.

"Husband, the representatives of various chambers of commerce have arrived. What do you think?"

Lu Zhi's voice was soft and gentle, like a spring breeze. Gao Yao was originally immersed in his own thoughts. Hearing Lu Zhi's call, he slowly turned his head and his eyes met Lu Zhi's.

Lu Zhi was wearing a simple and elegant long dress, with a graceful figure and a faint smile on her face, revealing a gentle temperament. Gao Yao looked at Lu Zhi, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He smiled and responded: "Well, is it arranged?"

Lu Zhi nodded quickly and said in a firm tone: "Everything has been arranged, please rest assured, my husband." Her voice revealed confidence and decisiveness, and it was obvious that she was very sure of her arrangements.

Gao Yao nodded, expressing his satisfaction with Lv Zhi's answer. He stood up, stretched out his hand, and gently held Lv Zhi's hand. Lv Zhi's hand was soft and warm. The moment Gao Yao held her hand, she couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Gao Yao held Lv Zhi's hand and walked towards the main hall together. Their steps were light and graceful, just like a loving couple. Lv Zhi felt extremely happy and satisfied when Gao Yao held her hand. During this period of time, she worked hard in the mansion and finally got Gao Yao's recognition and praise. This intimate gesture was undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of her.

Soon, the two of them walked into the main hall. The main hall was spacious and bright, with gorgeous decorations, highlighting the noble status of the owner. At this time, there were already more than a dozen people standing quietly on both sides of the main hall. They were all representatives of various chambers of commerce. Although there were seats in the main hall, these people did not dare to sit down rashly, but stood there respectfully, waiting for Gao Yao and Lu Zhi to arrive.

This was also a question of identity and status. If it was Xiao He, Cao Shen and others who sat down, they would have sat down, but these people were only representatives of the Chamber of Commerce after all. They did not hold any official positions, let alone any status. In comparison, they were naturally much worse. Although Lu Zhi had allowed these people to sit down and wait, she was still clear about her own identity.

Really smart businessmen know that everything they have is built on a stable political foundation. Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a saying that "businessmen should not fight with officials", which is a wise choice.

This is especially true for the Chamber of Commerce, and its various branches. These branches were all cultivated by Gao Yao and are Gao Yao's own industries. However, since the Chamber of Commerce had problems, Gao Yao realized that the Chamber of Commerce must be reformed.

Therefore, he decided to divide the Chamber of Commerce, which was originally managed in a unified manner, to a certain extent. Specifically, he changed the Chamber of Commerce, which was originally managed by one person, into more than a dozen different branches, each with its own independent operating system.

These branches include smelting, shipbuilding, fishery, textiles, food, porcelain, transportation, road administration, planting, catering, post stations, etc., covering multiple fields. Each branch has its own different operating system. They still maintain the overall image of the Chamber of Commerce when facing the outside world, but internally, the different departments are independent of each other and have no relationship with each other.

In the end, Gao Yao was the only person responsible for reporting, and there would be no other problems. This was actually due to the painful lesson Gao Yao had experienced last time. Before this, in order to facilitate unified management, a position of head of the Chamber of Commerce was specially established. Then, the head of the Chamber of Commerce contacted and communicated with Lu Zhi.
