Chapter 243 The honorary mayor is paid for nothing

"The mayor is here, be quiet!"

When Bell just walked to the entrance of the parliament hall, Bell felt a very different feeling.

Seeing him, a white-haired mouse in a suit, the waiter at the door immediately rushed into the parliament, announcing Bell's arrival to everyone.

All the people who heard the news also straightened up their appearance immediately. When Bell arrived, they all straightened their backs with solemn expressions.

The first time Acorn entered the council hall, everyone present bowed slightly to Bell, giving him enough face as the honorary mayor.

This situation stunned Bell forcibly. He has been wandering on the edge of the society of intelligent creatures. This is the first time in his life that he is admired by everyone.

In an instant, Bell entered a state of 'who am I, where am I, and what am I going to do'.

Fortunately, Bell adjusted quickly. Although his mind is empty now, as a leader, he doesn't need to talk too much most of the time.

Bell looked around under the salute of everyone, then nodded, and said directly:

"Don't worry about these complicated etiquettes, let's get straight to the point."

After saying a word, everyone present took their seats one after another, and the host of this meeting also walked to the center of the venue and started the warm-up work before the meeting started.

His job is only two, introducing the participants of this meeting and the topic of this meeting.

But without his detailed introduction, after Bell entered the meeting site, he quickly obtained a large number of information about the participants.

The modification of the world by the Red Light God also works on Bell, but in order to reduce the impact on Bell's personal will, the message that the Red Light God left for Bell is extremely soft, and Bell needs to take time to adapt.

"The seats of the city council are generally divided into three categories..."

When Bell looked at the participants, those people who had a major impact on the city, relevant information naturally appeared in Bell's mind.

There are more than 220 seats in the city council. The number of seats is not fixed, and it has to be determined according to the number of red light spirits.

Under normal circumstances, after a person with the Charm of Red Light appeared, a new seat should be added to the city council.Of course, if the people who live with the Red Light Spirit Charm are unwilling to enter the city council, no additional seats will be added here.

Those who have seats have the right to vote, which in turn affects the strategic policy of Chishui City.

In addition to these people with voting rights, there are three unique beings who also have a veto right, capable of vetoing proposals that everyone agrees with on their own.

Bell, the honorary mayor, has a veto power.

In addition to him, the church representative also has a veto right. After all, people in the church usually have a high degree of unity of opinion. At this stage, the church is the organization with the most red light spirits in Chishui City, with a total of 120 seven red light spirits. The light, essence and charm coexist with the priest.

The Scarlet Light Essence hides in Chishui City on weekdays. Only good deeds from the heart can move them and live with them.

The church creed has very strict requirements on the believers. Priests who firmly believe in the church creed and take it as their course of action are more likely to impress the Red Light Spirit than ordinary people.

The pastors of the church represent the pinnacle of good deeds in Chishui City, and their opinions have a great influence on the direction of the city's development.

But kindness alone cannot support the normal operation of a city, especially the priests, who require them to give up their interests and sacrifice actively, really let them completely control the power of the city. They can transform the foundation of the city within three years. The economy crashes.

Many times, pastors will propose extremely outrageous proposals, such as high-standard relief for victims of disasters, and helping disaster-stricken areas complete reconstruction work and the like.

It's not that these bills are bad, but the pastors are too hard on the residents of their cities.

In their proposal, they believed that the residents of their own city should greatly reduce their daily living standards in the face of the disaster, only meet the most basic needs of living resources, and transport resources to other disaster-stricken cities until the completion of the urban reconstruction work of the other party.

Disaster relief is endless, and the resources of Chishui City are not unlimited, let alone grabbing resources from local residents and handing them over to outsiders.

So at this time, it is necessary to manage the normal operation of the city and maintain the development of the city to stop the outrageous proposals of the priests.

The third person with a veto power is the executive mayor of Chishui City, who is responsible for coordinating the affairs of the city and rationally allocating resources.

The executive mayor has a lot of people, and basically all grassroots officials are under the management of the executive mayor, but the number of people on his side who can enter the city council is very small.

Only a very small number of officials have the Red Light Essence, which has resulted in too few votes for these practical factions in the city council. Therefore, giving the executive mayor a veto is the best check and balance.

To briefly summarize, priests and others obtain the existence of Chiguang Jingmei because of their pure good deeds, which represents the ideal of Chishui City.The existence of the executive mayor represents the reality that the city needs to face.

Sandwiched between these two factions, the role of the honorary mayor of Bell is very simple, two words: paddling water!
There was basically nothing for him to do in the whole city, so Bell was given a high amount of resource allocation belonging to the honorary mayor, and he could just do his own thing, and he could even waive the city council's attendance requirement.

No way, Chiguang God gave Bell a very high status. According to the setting of Chiguang God, Bell is the founder of this city and the pioneer who developed Chishui City from a small village to the upper four cities. It is even clearly stated in the legal text that the power of the executive mayor comes from the appointment of Bell. Under special circumstances, Bell has the right to remove the executive mayor.

"Speaking of Acorn, what is the monthly resource allocation for my honorary mayor?"

"The resource allocation worth [-] gold coins per month can be used first in the city's treasure house when there is a need. However, according to Mr. Bell's prestige in this city, it is not a problem to go to the city's treasure house to get it."

After communicating with Acorn, Bell's beard twitched.

The self-selected resources of [-] gold coins per month is already an astonishing salary level, not to mention that this salary is still free.

But judging from what Acorn said, he has never been paid, because Bell can directly use a lot of resources in Chishui City based on his prestige alone.

These resources are not only gold coins and those fixed materials, but also more important knowledge and talents.

Bell can consult the libraries of various professional guilds in Chishui City at will, and can also mobilize the city guards and a large number of adventurers to go out and explore.
