A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and the real boss will never fight shirtless on the front line.

The parliament may be full of mystery for ordinary people, and it is true that even the most ordinary parliamentarian is an existence that ordinary people need to look up to.

But for Li Mu, the parliament is just a tool to realize power, Li Mu is not interested in joining the parliament at all, even if Li Mu is the speaker, Li Mu is not interested.

Not to mention Li Mu, even Henry, he has no interest in politics, the current New York City Council, a total of 13 members are directly or indirectly funded by Li Mu, they are Li Mu's spokesmen in the council, if Li Mu wants to do something, it will be achieved through them, and it is basically impossible for Li Mu to implement it personally.

It's not just Li Mu, but also Rockefeller, J· P. Morgan and others, although they all have great influence in the council, they are not members of the council.

At their level, they don't need "councilors" to bless them with an aura, and the wealth they possess is dazzling enough.

In early December, just last Sunday before the election began, Time magazine once again broke the news about the Democratic Party's inaction on abolitionist policies.

This time, the target of the revelations was Samuel Tilden.

Samuel Tilden may be a presidential candidate, but his father, Tilden Sr., owns a 5,000-hectare farm in Pennsylvania.

There are about 150 hired laborers living on the farm, who are actually slaves under different names, and just two months ago, a hired worker named Tom tried to escape, but was caught by the farm guards, and Tom was tied to a tree and burned alive.

Just after the incident, Li Mu got the relevant news, but in order to deal a fatal blow to the Democratic Party, Li Mu suppressed the news at that time, and only now did he break the news.

After the news appeared in the newspaper, there was an uproar in public opinion, and almost everyone could not believe that just ten years after the US government announced the abolition of slavery, there was still someone treating workers in the same way as slaves, and this person was actually the father of a presidential candidate.

"Reem, I have to say, you've done a great job this time." Arthur, who has assumed the post of governor of New York State, congratulated Li Mu in person.

After becoming governor, Arthur looked more idle than when he was mayor of New York City, which made Li Mu very envious, to be honest, if Li Mu was not interested in being governor, Li Mu really wanted to change identities with Arthur.

"Don't be too happy too soon, Samuel will definitely not admit defeat, he must have a backhand, and it is not too late to celebrate after we defeat Samuel." Li Mu still keeps calm, and it is also at the most critical time, the more he needs a calm brain, Li Mu has always done a good job in this regard.

"I can't think of any chance for Samuel to turn the tables around unless he hires the gunners to take Hayes out." Arthur is very confident, and when he became governor, Arthur has been in a very good mood during this time, and his whole person is full of confidence.

It's not uncommon for a gunman to take out a rival in U.S. history, so when Hayes and Semel Tilden became presidential candidates, they were already enjoying presidential-level security, so it wasn't easy for Samuel Tilden to take them out, unless he hired an army, which was the rhythm of a civil war.

"I wish he did, and to be honest, I want to hire someone to assassinate Hayes so we can win." Li Mu has no bottom line, and it is also very scary.

The purpose of hiring the gunslinger was not to kill Hayes, but to pour dirty water on Samuel Tilden, and if Hayes was assassinated at this time, the only suspicion would be Samuel Tilden.

"I'm very worried when you say that, what if Samuel has no bottom line like you?" Arthur was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Li Mu to have this kind of trick.

After listening to Arthur's words, Li Mu was immediately stunned.

Yes, it is not only Li Muhui who is splashing dirty water, Samuel Tilden can also do the same to win the support of public opinion.

"Hurry up and call Bresta and ask Bresta to increase her protection of Samuel." Li Mu grabbed the phone as he spoke.

Of course, this action is just a joke, Hayes and Samuel Tilden are now in Washington, D.C., and Bresta has no control over the police presence in Washington, D.C.

"Come on, let's get down to business, are you interested in taking over the renovation of New York Harbor? The state finance has support..."Arthur was not interested in watching Li Mu play treasure, and the main purpose of coming to Li Mu was to send money to Li Mu.

This is the benefit of Arthur being the governor, Li Mu has made a lot of efforts for Arthur to be successfully elected governor, and now is the time for Arthur to repay Li Mu.

Of course, at the level of Li Mu and Arthur, it would be too lo to give money directly, and this way of contracting the project is the most appropriate.

Municipal engineering is still very oily, at the beginning of the Tweed Group is by virtue of undertaking municipal engineering, in a few years to earn a net worth of hundreds of millions, Arthur is now the governor, of course, is also Xiao Gui Cao Sui, anyway, the project to anyone to do is to do, the project to the horse construction company, not only to ensure the quality of the project, but also to expand the influence of the horse construction company, but also to give Li Mu benefits in a fair way, this is hello, I am good, everyone.

"No problem, I'll ask Ray to sign a contract with you tomorrow." The benefits of being delivered to the door, Li Mu will definitely not want it.

Lei is the current general manager of Junma Construction Company, born in the Qing Dynasty "style Lei", three years ago, Lei came to the United States to study Western architecture, as a result of Li Mu fancied, appointed as the general manager of Junma Construction Group.

Arthur snorted twice, although he was not very satisfied with Li Mu's arrangement, but he did not continue to force it.

There is no need for Li Mu to come forward in person to take over the project, and even when Lei goes to sign the contract, Arthur himself will not come forward.

The next morning, the New York Horse Museum officially opened.

The whole museum covers an area of nearly 20,000 square meters, divided into four parts, such as porcelain, calligraphy and painting, goldware, and literature.

In the process of preparing for the construction of the museum, Rockefeller, J. Murphy, J. P. Morgan has been of great help to Li Mu, and J. Morgan has been of great help to Li Mu. P. Morgan donated more than 3,000 artifacts to the museum, including some of the fine pieces lost by the Qing Empire during the Opium War.

In addition to accepting donations, another way for Li Mu to collect cultural relics is to buy them.

In the 21st century, the price of oriental cultural relics is rising, a large part of which is maliciously hyped, for many Westerners, they simply do not understand the Chinese calligraphy art, but also can not appreciate the oriental ink paintings, as for the oriental gems, many Westerners do not recognize that jadeite should be classified as a gem.

After the Chinese people became rich, the spiritual and cultural needs increased, so the recovery of national treasures became a good thing to maintain value and face, so that the price of oriental cultural relics naturally increased.

Now in the past few years, almost no one in the world has collected oriental cultural relics except Li Mu, so Li Mu's collection of cultural relics has been carried out very smoothly, and Li Mu has collected more than 20,000 oriental cultural relics from a city in Marseille, France.

There are as many as 20,000 in a single city, so how many should there be in the whole of Europe?

Li Mu couldn't imagine it.

Because of the bad relationship between the Junma Group and the British government, Li Mu and the Junma Group have not been able to enter the UK, so they are only collected outside the UK.

In fact, it is impossible to put it now, Li Mu has now collected 200,000 pieces of cultural relics, and the entire Horse Museum can only display more than 800 of them, even if it is rotated once a month, it will take at least 20 years to display all these cultural relics.

The Horse Museum was the first private museum in New York City to open to the public, so the opening of the Horse Museum has attracted the attention of almost the whole of New York, even the upcoming presidential election.

Of course, the opening ceremony is also indispensable to invite guests and friends, Li Mu invited a total of more than 200 guests, and personally served as a commentator to serve the most distinguished group of people.

"Come, gentlemen, and welcome to the Horse Museum, where you will experience an unforgettable journey through time, where we will witness the ingenuity of our ancestors, and this museum will exhibit the treasures that belong to all of us." Li Mu's words are very beautiful, but in fact, this is not the case at all, all the cultural relics on display in the museum belong to Li Mu's private collection, and they have nothing to do with others.

The first exhibition area near the entrance is a variety of gold and silver products, as well as jewelry and jade.

There are treasures from the Qing Imperial Palace, as well as trophies from the battlefields of Montana, and some of them were collected from Europe, which belonged to the ancient royal families of Europe.

Those who are qualified to let Li Mu be the commentator are all Rockefeller, J· In addition to business people, there are also many political dignitaries at the level of P. Morgan, among which Arthur and Edward Jeffrey are the most dazzling.

"Now the exhibits in front of us are all from the capture of the frontal battlefield of Montana, we all know that in the battle of Montana that has ended, the brothers of the 1st Cavalry Division of the Army fought bloodily and fought for a rare peace for us, these exhibits, these are the military medals of the brothers of the 1st Division, we will always remember their contributions to this country." Li Mu is very good at winning people's hearts, especially in the face of soldiers, Li Mu has always performed very well.

Don't look at the U.S. government now has no money in its pocket and insufficient purchasing power, in the long run, the U.S. government is still the largest customer of the Horse Group, and those American soldiers are the target group of the Horse Group.

If the US government wants to buy new weapons, it will definitely buy some of them first, and then send them to the troops for trial, and only after the trial results are obtained, will the government evaluate the necessity of large-scale procurement, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the US GIs can decide the fate of the Junma Arms Company to some extent.

Of the more than 200,000 pieces in the collection, 800 pieces were selected, and almost every one of them was a fine piece, especially the gold ornaments of the Indians, who were cleverly conceived and exquisitely worked, compared to Oriental art.

Li Mu originally hoped to gain praise for these gold jewelry, but he didn't expect that when he saw these gold jewelry, the expressions of others were okay, and the expressions of Arthur and Edward were extremely ugly.

Only then did Li Mu realize that he seemed to have touched some taboo.

In the United States, the topic of Indians has always been highly controversial, although the US government tried to get the support of the Indians, and even did not hesitate to improve the status of the Indians in policy and give the Indians a certain amount of financial support, in fact, what Ulysses Grant was thinking, only he knew.

Compared with 10 years ago, the attitude of Americans towards the Indians has been loosened, and they have realized that blindly fighting and killing will not solve the problem fundamentally, so the US government is now trying to downplay the existence of the Indians, in this way, forcing the Indians to abandon their traditions.

Li Mu has now set up a museum to display the gold artifacts of the Indians, which is tantamount to commemorating the Indians, and at the same time reminding the white people that there was once another race living in this land.

"Ream, I have no objection to you opening a museum, but you can't use Indians as the center of propaganda, we don't want this group to get any attention, so that in another ten or twenty years, there will be no more Indians in the United States, and at that time, the United States will be pure America." Arthur's expression was serious, and he reminded Li Mu not to make political mistakes.

"I thought you understood the truth that blocking is better than sparse, after all, the Indians have existed with the concept of science and technology, and they have created a brilliant civilization, and these gold and silver products are the testimony of the Indian civilization, so this is not a political issue, just to commemorate that period of history." Li Mu didn't want to say too ruthlessly.

According to Arthur, the United States without Indians would be pure America, which is actually self-deception, even if there are no Indians in the United States, there will still be blacks, there will be Chinese, there will be Mexicans, etc., are these people not people.

"Don't overdo it, I'll advise you when you're a friend, of course you have the right to refuse, but you have to think about it, because it will definitely lead to serious consequences." Arthur doesn't want to talk nonsense with Li Mu now, and he is not in the mood to visit at this time.

"Check out the rest of the collection, these gold objects are just some of them, and I promise there's something you're interested in." Li Mu didn't want Arthur to go, and now he remembered that he was here to avoid suspicion, so why did he go earlier.
