Chapter 631 Dispute over the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce!

Third, Gao Yao's move will also have an impact on the two different classes of farmers and workers. For farmers, they work hard all their lives, but have no hope of becoming an official, and their lives are miserable. In contrast, businessmen can not only make more money, but also have the opportunity to become an official, which will undoubtedly make farmers feel desperate. Once the Ministry of Commerce is established, this psychological gap will be further widened, resulting in a large number of fertile fields being abandoned and agricultural production being seriously affected.

Fourth, the war is imminent, and if there is such a big move inside at this time, it will inevitably have an impact on the front-line war. Now the war is at a critical stage, and it is about to escalate from a local war to a full-scale war. At this juncture, if there are major changes in the rear, whether it affects the supply of military supplies or the news is heard by the front-line soldiers, it is very likely to shake the morale of the army, which is undoubtedly extremely unfavorable to the entire war situation. Considering these factors, Lu Zhi will definitely stand up and will not let Gao Yao make such a rash decision to establish the Ministry of Commerce.

Looking at the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce below, each of them was silent like a cicada. What Gao Yao said was certainly a good thing. For the representatives of the various departments of the Chamber of Commerce, this was definitely a great opportunity to rise to prominence. However, ideas were ideas. Those who could come to Gao Yao's mansion as representatives of the Chamber of Commerce at such a critical moment were basically the best of the best. Otherwise, they would not be qualified to come here at all.

In other words, because of this, all the people present knew that the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce was a done deal, without the slightest doubt. However, this position was not so easy to take. Whoever sat on the throne of the Ministry of Commerce would inevitably become the target of everyone's attack, and would be hated and resented by people. In this way, it was hard to predict whether he could live the rest of his life in peace.

So, at this critical moment, Lu Zhi dared to speak up, while the others were silent, and no one dared to express their opinions easily. Gao Yao frowned and looked at Lu Zhi on the side, which made Lu Zhi's face change slightly. However, despite this, Lu Zhi did not show any signs of weakness. She knew Gao Yao's character very well. Gao Yao was not the kind of person who would not listen to other people's opinions when dealing with things. On the contrary, before making many important decisions, he usually consulted with others and made up his mind after careful consideration. Moreover, once he decided on something, he would never back down and would stick to it to the end.

This time, the situation was different. Gao Yao had obviously made his decision, but Lu Zhi still felt the need to dissuade him as much as possible. After all, this matter concerned Gao Yao's great cause and was definitely not something to be joked about.

So even though Gao Yao disliked it, Lu Zhi had to stop it.

"My dear husband, I beg you to think carefully about this matter! You must not act rashly on this matter! I sincerely suggest that you take back your decision!"

Lu Zhi stood up anxiously, walked quickly to Gao Yao, knelt on her knees without hesitation, and begged bitterly.

Her voice revealed endless anxiety and earnestness, hoping to impress Gao Yao and make him change his mind. However, Gao Yao did not seem to appreciate Lu Zhi's action. His face sank slightly and his brows were tightly furrowed, obviously feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Zhi's behavior.

"Lü Zhi, do you know what you are doing now? Have you forgotten the lesson you learned before?" Gao Yao's tone became stern, with a hint of coldness in his voice. He stared straight at Lü Zhi, and the indifference in his eyes gradually deepened.

The last incident was like a deep scar that still hurts Gao Yao's heart. Since then, he has little gratitude towards Lu Zhi. If it weren't for the kindness Lu Zhi had shown him in the past, the last incident alone would have been enough to make Lu Zhi never see the sun again in her life.

Facing Gao Yao's rebuke, Lü Zhi could not help but tremble all over, but she did not back down. Instead, she knelt on the ground more firmly, kowtowed to Gao Yao again, and said earnestly: "My husband, please take back your order! This matter must not be rushed, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous and will definitely cause a great chaos!"

"Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? However, if I don't act this way now, it will be even more difficult to do so in the future! How can a woman's perspective see through the possibility of a thing? Come on, take Lu Zhi away quickly!"

Gao Yao's words were powerful. Before he finished speaking, an attendant came forward like a gust of wind and dragged Lu Zhi out of the main hall without mercy.

"Husband...husband..." Lv Zhi's cry echoed in the air, her voice full of despair and pleading, as if she still held a glimmer of hope for Gao Yao, hoping that he could change his mind. However, Gao Yao was determined, his eyes were firm and indifferent, and he was not moved by Lv Zhi's pleading at all.

In fact, Lu Zhi's thinking about this matter was not completely wrong. The factors she considered were reasonable to some extent. But Gao Yao's way of thinking was also understandable. After all, he was a person from modern society, and his perspective on the problem was very different from that of the ancients.

Although Gao Yao has lived in this world for more than ten years, some of his innermost concepts and thinking patterns are still deeply influenced by modern society. He often looks at things from the perspective of modern people, rather than from the perspective of people of the Qin Dynasty. This difference caused him to have differences with Lu Zhi in dealing with problems.

Take this matter for example. Gao Yao actually knew a little about Lü Zhi's thoughts. He knew what Lü Zhi might think and what impact these thoughts might have. However, even so, Gao Yao still insisted on his point of view that the Chamber of Commerce should be separated and become an independent department.

There are many benefits to doing so. First, by making the chamber of commerce independent, it can focus more on its own business development and avoid being disturbed by other factors. Second, by turning the industries under its jurisdiction into state-owned enterprises, it can make better use of national resources and achieve optimal allocation of resources.

More importantly, such a change can cultivate more outstanding talents. As an independent department, the Chamber of Commerce can attract more talented and capable people to join. These people can get more training and development opportunities on the platform of the Chamber of Commerce, and thus grow into elites in the industry.
