Liu Jingxiao quickly jumped off the horse, gave a big gift to the old man Wu, and then started to have a friendship: "I have met Speaker Wu, but I don't know what Speaker Wu and my eldest brother Bincheng are called?"

Seeing that Liu Jingxiao was so respectful, the old man Wu felt a fist and clasped his fists and said, "Bincheng and my brother are called me. If you don't know anything, please call me Brother Wu. Haven't you asked who is this brother? What is the relationship with Bincheng?"

The old man called Wu Quan, who was the new president of the State Council and was also a very powerful person.

He and Wang Bincheng are both from Xingcheng, western Liaoning, and are also called "Xingcheng Second Boss". Loving fellow villagers is a Chinese nature, so he and Wang Bincheng have a good relationship.

Wang Bincheng specifically warned him that if there is any trouble, he could ask Wu Quan for help.

Wu Quan is nearly sixty years old. According to normal circumstances, Liu Jingxiao probably called him an old man, but he called Wang Bincheng a peer, and Liu Jingxiao also called Wang Bincheng a peer, so Liu Jingxiao took advantage of his generation.

Liu Jingxiao replied with a smile: "Then I am thankful to Brother Wu. I am Liu Jingxiao of Dingbian Army. Brother Bincheng has recognized Neizi Yuzhuo as his sister, so I call Brother Bincheng."

He pointed out his relationship with Wang Bincheng, and the situation suddenly eased.

Hu Bo also asked the officers and soldiers to put away the bayonets, but they still surrounded the convoy.

The two of them were polite, and Liu Jingxiao introduced the two battalion commanders around him.

As he was talking, Wanyan Yuzhuo also rode his gentle pony over again. Liu Jingxiao pointed at Wanyan Yuzhuo and said, "This is Yuzhuo, the inner son! Yuzhuo, I have come to see Brother Wu!"

Wanyan Yuzhuo had already jumped off the horse, bent down, and shouted in a coquettish voice: "I've seen Brother Wu!"

Wu Quan also quickly returned the tribute and said, "My brother and sister, I'm exempted from the gift!"

Liu Jingxiao introduced Wu Quan to Wanyan Yuzhuo again. After the introduction was finished, he suddenly asked, "Brother Wu, what business are you doing..."

Wu Quan's face was not blushing, his heart was still beating, and he said nonsense: "There are all thieves in this car. I took a group of congressmen to Tianjin to arrest him and return to Beijing."

When Liu Jingxiao heard this, she couldn't help laughing, and then asked with a full voice of Jing'an: "Brother Wu, how many ordinary votes are this year?"

He is an old Beijinger and has long been common with this trick. When Wu Quan saw Liu Jingxiao see her purpose, he still said with a look of unchanging expression: "One thousand!"

Liu Jingxiao was stunned and asked again: "How many special tickets are there?"

Wu Quan simply replied: "Two thousand!"

Liu Jingxiao was puzzled and asked, "So little?"

Wu Quan nodded. Wanyan Yuzhuo didn't know what the two of them were selling, so he asked, "What are you talking about?"

Liu Jingxiao's most pity was Wanyan Yuzhuo, and he quickly explained: "It is said that our republic is easier to sell the country than the previous gold. A county magistrate can handle the snowflakes and silver in the previous gold. There are only one or two thousand counties in the country, and only ten million taels can handle such a big country. But in the Republic, there are more than 700 people in the Senate and House of Representatives, and it only takes 2 million yuan to buy a president. But today's price, isn't our republic worth 400,000 yuan to handle it?"

It turns out that since the Republic, the trend of bribery has been repeatedly banned, and everything from provincial and municipal councillors to presidential positions can be sold clearly.

Because of this, members of parliament are a shortcut to promotion and wealth. Although members of parliament cannot hold military and political positions, they have attendance fees for attending meetings and carriage fees in Beijing. Every year, military and political officials will have the title of "bingjing" and "charcoal" according to the rules. They can also receive "fessional respect" during festivals and festivals, and they are called "contact relationships". If these names are not available, wouldn't the large investment in electing members be left to the East China Sea!

Of course, you can’t take other people’s money in vain. When meetings and elections are held, you will naturally have to give it back and make people feel that it’s worth the money.

Since you sell your conscience, you will naturally make friends with many equally unscrupulous military and political officials, and there will be great prospects for being an official in the future.

For example, the most profitable transaction for MPs is the presidential election every five years. According to the practice in recent years, ordinary MPs vote for 5,000.

Because the leaders of various factions of the parliament and the chief and deputy speakers of the chief and deputy speakers of the mouth are fragrant, there is naturally a group of wealth-loving gentlemen following closely, so they are superior. One vote is worth more than 10,000 yuan, and the selling price of the chief and deputy speakers is more than 15,000 yuan.

However, there are few special votes, only 10 or 20 votes per election, while there are only 760 members of the Senate and House of Representatives. As long as you have 380 votes, you can win the game with a stable victory.

Therefore, if you want to become a president, you must first have an emotional investment of more than 2 million yuan.

Liu Jingxiao made the dark side of this, and Wanyan Yuzhuo knew the reason for saying the wrong thing that day.

Liu Jingxiao asked again: "Why did the ticket price fall to this today?"

Wu Quan took over the conversation without changing his face and said, "This year, it's not easy to be a member of parliament..."

It turned out that the new Congress was elected, and the Hubei clique accounted for more than half, while the rest of the seats were divided by various factions.

The ideal president in the heart of the E-sect is of course Mr. Duan Tiemin, who is in the E-sect.

But Duan Tiemin was unwilling to take the position of president. He had long seen through the fact that the president's position is high, but it is an unprecedented fire pit. No matter how great you are, as long as you sit in this position, your majesty will naturally be eliminated, and your majesty will be overwhelmed by people.

He would rather learn from Cao Mengde to manipulate everything behind the scenes. Duan is not competing with him. In addition, the calls for cooperation between direct and direct people are getting higher and higher, and the direct governor Feng Li naturally became the best candidate.

However, although Feng Li was eager to try his position as the president, he himself was a gentleman who loved money and was thrifty. All election expenses were paid by the military expenditures of the central government to Su Province, and he was willing to issue a high price of 1,000 ordinary tickets and 2,000 special tickets.

The ticket price is only 20% of the normal price. The MPs easily took off their clothes and sold them, and the presidential election would have a miscarriage twice.

At this time, a new force suddenly came from Feng Li's assisted army. Zhang Kelian, the commander of the newly formed Second Division of the Army stationed in Shandong, contacted telegrams to oppose Feng Li's appointment as president, and even had the wonderful sentence "It is better to choose the enemy than to choose Feng."

This is really a stroke from the sky. Zhang Ke has always been a witty word. Two days ago, there were a bunch of electricity from "the congressional mobs, but the matter was disbanded."

It's wonderful! Congress is the most timid. This man usually interferes with Congress. He opposes the most powerful figure, Congress, but he wants to vote in favor.

The Chinese have always had a big feature, which is that they oppose it without reason. As long as Zhang Ke opposes it, even if it is a cat or a dog, Congress can vote for it. Therefore, Feng Li's popularity soared and he was about to become president, but at this time, a variable came to his mind.
