When Li Mu, who was the first to enter the parliament hall, was quite new, but was quickly shocked by the situation in the parliament hall. Li Mu never thought that the original New York parliament in the nineteenth century could be freed up with the 4V in the twenty-first century. Just as lively.

Li Mu did not sit at the forefront, but sat with Arthur in the back corner.

Even so, Li Mu has attracted a lot of people's attention. The appearance of a Chinese in the parliament hall is enough to attract people's attention, and he is still sitting with the popular candidate for the next mayor, and it won't work without attention.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Li Mu has appeared in front of MPs in New York, and he is still with so many big brothers. Unconsciously, Li Mu has also become a big brother.

After the ticket was over, Li Mu noticed that Arthur around him finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's play it back—" Li Mu lowered his voice and congratulated Arthur.

"Oh, it should be so!" Arthur was eager to try and was ready.

"How? Have you prepared a campaign declaration?" Li Mu is not clear about the election process at this time.

"No need-this is not a presidential election." Arthur glanced at Li Mu a little surprised.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm under the age of running." Li Mu said he didn't know the procedure was excusable.

The United States Constitution stipulates that only American citizens who have reached the age of 18 years have the right to vote. At the same time, they must be male, have a certain amount of tax each year to qualify for voting, and voters must be registered in advance.

At the same time, the Constitution also stipulates that anyone who has reached the age of 25 and has been a U.S. citizen for 7 years can run for Congress. Anyone who has reached the age of 30 and has been a U.S. citizen for 9 years can run for Congress. But candidates must live in the constituency when they run, so former US First Lady Hillary has temporarily moved to New York State in order to run for it.

In this way, as long as Li Mu's age reaches the standard, Li Mu is eligible to run for the House of Representatives and Senators, either on behalf of Massachusetts or New York.

Li Mu's taxes are certainly enough. Although Grover Cleveland tried to help Li Mu avoid taxes, since 1873, Li Mu's personal and steed investment companies have paid more than half a million dollars.

This tax is only business tax and consumption tax, and does not include income tax. In order to evade taxes, Li Mu's personal property is all in Junma Investment Company. As the president of Junma Investment Company, the monthly salary is only a symbolic one dollar. This salary is definitely There is no tax.

Do not say that this behavior is immoral. Actually, all the rich Americans do this. Helping business owners to legally avoid tax is one of the work items of the corporate legal department, including J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller. Sorry.

"You'll know in a moment--" Arthur suddenly realized, smiled strangely at Li Mu, and leaned his entire clothes on the back of his chair.

After the decision to impeach Tweed was passed, Speaker Anthony Dorn on the stage reviewed the agenda and proceeded to the next item: "Given that the mayor Mr. Tweed has lost his qualifications as mayor, in accordance with legal procedures, Deputy Mayor-uh-"

Anthony Dorn glanced at the agenda before him, and fell into an awkward silence.

It must be very embarrassing. The US mayor system is divided into "strong mayor system" and "weak mayor system". Under the "strong mayor system", the mayor is directly elected by voters and has the appointment of heads of various government departments Power to veto bills passed by the city council, but major issues must be decided by the city council.

In big cities such as New York, Washington, and San Francisco, the systems implemented are basically "strong mayoral systems."

As for ordinary cities, most of them adopt the "weak mayor system". Under the "weak mayor system", the mayor is elected from members of the city council or rotated by city councillors. Its main responsibility is to preside over city council meetings. Hearing the opinions of the citizens and speaking on behalf of the municipal government is the image representative of the municipal government. It is just a mascot and does not have the most important appointment right.

Tweed must be a strong mayor, so there was no deputy mayor in New York. During Tweed's administration, everything in Tweed was in Tweed's control, and power was concentrated like a feudal emperor.

In New York, the city government secretary Henderson has the most rights under Tweed, but judging from the relationship between Henderson and Tweed, Tweed has something wrong, and Henderson is also a ran No, so it is certainly impossible for Henderson to take over.

It seems that who is taking over as mayor is a big problem.

"Is there no candidate? Then I propose that Mr. Chester Arthur, the Commissioner of Customs and Excise, be the mayor of New York." Peter Allen Schering stood up to make a proposal.

Look at Ben Marjorie, who has been playing against him all the time. Since the motion to impeach Tweed passed, Ben Marjorie has been sitting on the seat without a word.

Ben Marjorie ’s relationship with Tweed is too close. Since Tweed is bad, Ben Marjorie will be unlucky in a few days. His political career has come to an end.

"Mr. Chester Arthur-well, is there a second candidate?" Anthony Dorn asked for more comments.

The conference hall was extremely silent, and no one spoke.

A minute later, Anthony Dorn broke the silence: "Well, now it is time for Mr. Chester Arthur to vote as Mayor of New York-"

This vote is more symbolic. There is only one candidate for election, and no election has occurred accidentally.

Soon, the voting results were announced, with 35 votes in favor and 5 abstentions, reaching an absolute majority. The vote was passed and Chester Arthur officially became the mayor of New York.

Li Mu watched the farce-like ballot election in front of him and was defocused by the American democratic thunder.

"Rim, welcome to the United States-" Arthur stood up and shook hands with Li Mu in a serious manner. This sentence was true.

Yes, at this moment, Li Mu really knows more about the United States.

Peter Allen stood up and applauded. As Arthur passed by, Peter Allen shook hands with Arthur and congratulated Arthur.

Their relationship need not be concealed, it is part of politics.

"Thank you for your trust in me and for electing me as the mayor of New York City. I solemnly swear here that I will lead New York to greater glory-we must strengthen New York's position in the United States and further strengthen the financial center of New York I swear that I will provide better services to the citizens of New York, and will definitely not treat the city government as a place to hide their fouls and seek other benefits like some people— " The declaration of victory was not a vague hostility to Tweed.

Li Mu noticed that Arthur used the word "New Yorker" many times during his speech, but every time he said the word, Arthur always looked at the auditorium.

Obviously, Arthur knew exactly who he should serve.

At night, Clinton Castle was still brightly lit.

A party celebrating Arthur's election as mayor of New York is ongoing.

The party was much bigger this time, and guests could bring female relatives to attend.

Of course, Li Mu also had to attend. The female relative who accompanied Li Mu was not Chu Xue but Gloria.

From the standpoint of Li Mu, of course Li Mu is willing to bring Chu Xue to the party, but everyone including Will, Arthur, and Grover Cleveland do not agree with Li Mu.

As a Chinese, Li Mu is enough to be eye-catching in Manhattan. If Li Mu is followed by a Chinese girl, this will strengthen Li Mu's Far East attributes, which is very bad for Li Mu's integration into American society.

It's different if Li Mu is next to Gloria. Blonde Gloria is very in line with the western aesthetic standards, and because of Will's military background, Li Mu, an arms dealer and Gloria, are well matched. No one can fault it.

It can't be faulted, but for the two parties, the feeling is terrible and not good at all.

"I know you don't want to show me, I want to tell you, in fact, I don't want to show up with you in this **** place-" A well-dressed Gloria appeared in the hall with Li Mu's arm in his arms, and immediately won Blended with whistle and cheering applause, Gloria didn't like this occasion, so the voice was a bit low, only Li Mu and Gloria could hear it.

"You know, maybe you want to come out with your Adrian cousin, but unfortunately your Adrian cousin went to Montana, ah, hope he won't be fascinated by those Indian women, American soldier Not very obedient-"Li Mu is also very polite. When it comes to rumors, Li Mu is afraid of anyone.

Regarding Adrian, this has become a mockery of Li Mu's mocking of Gloria. Although Will has not given Adrian a chance to entangle Gloria, he has assigned Adrian to Montana to play in front, but this does not Does not prevent Li Mu from taking Adrian to laugh at Gloria.

Gloria's teeth were creaking, but her face could not see the abnormal shape. Holding the hand of Li Mu's arm gently gripped the inner side of Li Mu's arm--

"Hi, dear Arthur, congratulations--" Li Mu greeted his exclamation with a greeting, gave Arthur a big hug, and got rid of Gloria's attack.

"Tongxi, Tongxi, Rim, please allow me to introduce, this is Ellen, Ellen Arthur-" Arthur responded warmly and introduced the female companions around him to Li Mu.

Ellen is Arthur's wife. The two of them were married twenty years ago. They are in a good relationship and have two sons and a daughter.

"Dear Madam, I am very pleased to meet you." Li Mu said hello, and the ceremony was very standard.

"Rim, I know you. Chester often mentions you. It's amazing that you have achieved such achievements at this age-" Ellen was very enthusiastic about Li Mu, but only made Li Mu feel awkward.

It's age again, let's not talk about it?
