Zeng Sanshui had stayed in many inns and hotels, but he had never seen such a bold one.

It shone so brightly that it blinded him.

Why the need to open such a hotel? If these crystals were brought to the Ling Kingdom, they could be sold for an astronomical price.

Lu Ye said indifferently, "These are all man-made glass. They're not very expensive."

Zeng Sanshui was even more shocked!

The people behind him were also dumbfounded. "Such a beautiful gem is actually man-made?"

Zeng Sanshui immediately asked, "Then can I buy a lot and bring them back?"

His wife and concubines would definitely be overjoyed if he brought back such sparkling glass.

Lu Ye nodded. "You can buy it, but..."

Zeng Sanshui asked anxiously, "But what?" He was hemming and hawing. It sounded like nothing good was going to come out. Could it be that there was a restriction on buying?

Only then did Lu Ye say, "Even if you're envoys and spend more than 1,000 taels, you'll still have to pay taxes when you bring the items back to the Ling Kingdom."

Zeng Sanshui's eyes widened. "Tax? Because I'm not from your country?"

Lu Ye smiled. "Our country's products are all for the citizens of Carefree Kingdom. You're not from Carefree Kingdom and did not contribute to our country. If you buy a large number of products and bring them back, you naturally have to pay a high tax."

"Our Great Empress knows very well how valuable our things are in the Ling Kingdom."

"We only charge taxes when you have spent 1,000 taels because you're envoys. If ordinary people enter our Carefree Kingdom and want to bring the items back, as long as the total amount exceeds 10 taels, they have to pay taxes accordingly."

Zeng Sanshui was furious. He had planned to buy a lot of things. "Why didn't you say so before?"

Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. "I didn't expect that 1,000 taels was not enough for you to buy?"

Zeng Sanshui was speechless. He actually did not expect to spend so much money in the Carefree Kingdom.

Moreover, most of the money he had spent on the bicycle previously was on credit from Lu Ye.

That was because Carefree Kingdom only accepted gold and banknotes.

He only had the banknotes and some silver pieces from the Ling Kingdom. He could only go to the nearest town in the Ling Kingdom to exchange for the banknotes when he returned to the border of the Carefree Kingdom.

He had a feeling that he would definitely spend a lot of money, so he bargained with Lu Ye. "Those who come are guests. This is our first time here. Why are we still paying taxes? If we buy here, won't we be contributing to your Carefree Kingdom?"

Lu Ye smiled and said, "There's a way to not pay taxes. As long as General Zeng joins our Carefree Kingdom and becomes a citizen, there won't be an issue."

How could Zeng Sanshui join the Carefree Kingdom! Without thinking, he rolled his eyes at Lu Ye. "In your dreams!"

Lu Ye was not angry. He said slowly, "General, you're only qualified to join our Carefree Kingdom because you lead the troops well. Apart from the relatives of the commoners, those who want to join our Carefree Kingdom have to be talented. Those who can pass our Carefree Kingdom's assessment can then obtain immigration approval."
