Don't look at Luo Yin, who is now respected by many people, but his identity is still a commoner, or a civilian businessman.

Of course, no one would be stupid enough to treat him as an ordinary civilian, but this is the case.

Although Luo Yin is still having a smooth ride all the way, it is still beneficial if he can have a political identity.

This political identity does not mean that he wants to be an official, and Luo Yin does not want to be an official, but that he can have a better political status. For example, a name in an idle job or something.

Some of the wealthy people in the city of Jombi are like this, and they are listed in the city hall.

Just like the last reform of Qiongbi City, Luo Yin got the news in advance through Henry, and those who were named could get the news themselves.

This is undoubtedly much faster to get the news.

Not only that, but with a political identity, you will get a certain convenience in many things. Although it is said that most things can be solved with money, sometimes it may be a matter of someone else's words, and there is no need to spend money in vain.

So, the usefulness of political identity is quite large, especially for a businessman like him.

Of course, in addition to political status, it would be better if there was an aristocratic status. Political status will give you convenience and political status, but nobility can provide more than just that, it can even be a gold medal for avoiding death - some laws do not apply to nobles, and even ordinary courts are not qualified to judge nobles.

But nobility is now very difficult to obtain, and it is basically inherited, such as Novia.

In addition to inheritance, it is either a great contribution to the kingdom, or it is necessary to marry or marry a nobleman, in order to get it. Therefore, Luo Yin doesn't have to think about it for the time being.

And Burton said that the city councilor of Jombi is no longer a simple matter of nominal political identity, but a politician who has a certain amount of real power, or even a lot of power!

Because the City Council is the highest legislature in the city of Jongbi.

Municipal councillors are officially represented in the council and have the right to vote.

To put it simply, in a way, city councillors can legislate!

Provided, of course, that two-thirds of the MPs agree with your proposal.

In addition to basic rights such as proposing, voting, questioning, and impeaching, city councilors also have some special rights.

For example, the town hall is obliged to protect the councillors of the council - you can have the police come and protect you 24 hours a day, above board, without spending any money!

For example, unless certain felonies have been committed, members of the council are not subject to criminal trials and personal liberty without the approval of the City Council.

For example, a member of the Parliament shall not be prosecuted, searched, arrested, detained or tried for his or her opinions or votes cast in the performance of his or her duties......

And more importantly, the parliamentarian is different from ordinary officials, he doesn't have to go to work, he is not usually busy, and you can even not even attend the meeting, abstain from voting, and be a salted fish waiting to die.

This is very much in line with Luo Yin's current situation, with identity, status, and rights, there are still few things.

Of course, the city councilor is not so easy to be, after all, the term of office of the city councilor in Qiongbi City is ten years, and one radish and one pit are basically occupied by people.

Although it is said that after becoming a city councilor, you can choose to be a salted fish. But no one will do this, after all, they are all listed councilors, who has no ambitions!

Moreover, city councilors do not require full-time work, so they have some other part-time jobs in addition to their status as councillors themselves.

Mayor Burton, for example, is a councilman, and Deputy Commissioner Bude, who is also a councilman......

Luo Yin quickly went through the news related to the city councilor in his mind, and then looked at Mayor Burton with some strange eyes.

"Mr. Mayor, with all due respect, is there a vacancy for the current city councilor?"

There is a sentence he hasn't said yet, even if there is a vacancy, it won't be his turn.

Burton didn't say it explicitly, but gave Luo Yin a color.

Luo Yin understood, he and everyone apologized, and then took Burton to the fifth floor.

The fifth floor of Miro's Restaurant is Luo Yin's private space, where you can stay or entertain friends.

The decoration on the fifth floor is similar to the one below, and it is very luxurious, even a little pompous, but Burton obviously likes the style, and when he enters, he praises it in all sorts of ways.

Luo Yin poured two glasses of red wine, and after Burton thanked him, he began to get down to business.

"There were seventeen councillors before Joumbi, including a speaker. Now that the expansion has become the city of Jombie, the city council has also to be expanded, and it needs to add nine more councillors to make up for twenty-six ...... Here's the command from above. ”

Burton was a little helpless, he didn't want the current balance to be broken, but there was no way, the death order from above had to be obeyed.

Luo Yin thought about it, but it was reasonable. After all, you have assigned all the other places around you to Qiongbi City, not to mention how many benefits you give, you must at least give others the qualifications to talk on an equal footing.

Otherwise, who wants to merge their own territory with you?

And the city council seat is obviously a qualification that allows them to talk on an equal footing.

But the command is an order, and it is not impossible to operate it.

For example, the nine new members of parliament have no rule that they must be elected from outside the city. After all, this is a parliamentarian, and those who can live in it. If there are too many straw bales outside the city, you can't choose an incompetent person to make up the number.

But if you only look in your own city, and look for those politicians who have been famous for a long time, then you can't say anything, and the people above are not stupid.

So here's where it works.

The most desired outcome for the town hall is, of course, that the councillors are self-cultivated politicians in the city, but this is obviously impossible.

The last thing you want is that all nine seats will be taken by people from outside the city.

Since the best result is unattainable, and the worst result is unacceptable, then there is no choice but to compromise - I can do without these seats, but I can't give them all to you for nothing!

"So, you have a crush on me? Why me? ”

Luo Yin raised his eyebrows slightly.

Burton was blunt:

"Yes, I have a crush on you. Because you are neither a politician trained by our town hall, nor a representative of the city. Your identity is very suitable, even if the person above is picky, he can't say anything. In addition, you already have a lot of reputation in the city, so I personally think that if you run, there is a certain probability that you will be selected. ”

After a pause, Burton added:

"And, it's not just you, the town hall has other goals, counting you as a total of four people, as long as one of you can be selected, then for us, it's barely acceptable."

"That's ...... so"

Luo Yin nodded, and he said how could there be such a good thing, it seems that there is still a reason.

Of course, it's not all luck. After all, if he didn't have the ability himself, it would be impossible for him to enter the eyes of the city hall.
