Chapter 539: Selling By Box

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zeng Sanshui obtained a piece of imperial green jade, which used up all his good luck. The few rocks he bought after that were not very good.

Fortunately, Zeng Sanshui's gambling addiction was not strong. He stopped while he had some gains. When he returned to the hotel, he bragged to Lu Ye about how lucky he was.

Lu Ye had seen many people open good stones, but not many imperial jade.

He couldn't help but ask, "You want to bring the materials back to the Ling Kingdom?"

Zeng Sanshui chuckled. "Of course I have to bring it back. Why? You won't let me?" He emphasized, "1 bought it with my money!"

Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. "Then have you calculated the export tax?"

Zeng Sanshui was stunned. "No, it's just some export taxes. I'll give it to you. I won't take advantage of you."

He had the cheek to say that he wouldn't take advantage of him. If he was not going to take advantage, he wouldn't have been so enthusiastic about stone gambling in Dark Dragon Mountain and bought so many things to bring back.

Lu Ye smiled and said, "Ask Lord Qu to help you calculate the export tax before deciding if you want to bring it back."

Zeng Sanshui could tell that something was wrong and subconsciously looked at Qu Yuanxian.

Qu Yuanxian followed him all the way. Seeing how many things he had bought, he knew the amount in his heart. He said to him, "The export tax of Carefree Kingdom is extremely high. Moreover, you have to calculate it according to the value of the goods and collect the corresponding tax rate. I'm not sure how much tax you have to pay for this imperial jade. It depends on who evaluates it."

Zeng Sanshui was stunned. "I have to pay taxes according to the market price? But 1 bought it for 20 taels of silver!"

Lu Ye gave him the simplest example. "If you buy the entire Dark Dragon Mountain for 20 taels of silver, can you bring it back to the Ling Kingdom?"

"You have to pay as much tax as the item's worth. There's a special appraisal agency set up at the border. Someone will give you an estimate when the time comes."

"It will definitely be cheaper than buying it in Ling Kingdom."

Zeng Sanshui was about to die of anger. "Then if I don't bring it back and sell it here, will the earnings be taxed?"

Lu Ye shook his head. "If you sell it, you can only sell it at our domestic market price."

The underlying meaning was that he would not be able to earn much money.

Zeng Sanshui suddenly stood up and said angrily, "You guys are really stingy. I've never seen a country so stingy!"

His dream of bringing it back to show off the 20 taels of imperial green jade was suddenly shattered.

Lu Ye said indifferently, "General Zeng, why are you angry? Think about it, it's impossible for you to buy such good things in the Ling Kingdom. Isn't it right for our Great Empress to protect the rights and interests of our people?"

Zeng Sanshui almost vomitted. "Can't you treat me better since the two countries have good relations?"

Lu Ye smiled and said, "Of course. As long as you stay in our country, the children will enjoy free education."

Zeng Sanshui pursed his lips. It wasn't like he couldn't afford to pay for his son and grandson's education. It was even useless to say this.

Zeng Sanshui could not bear to part with the imperial jade. In the end, he still could not bear to sell it locally.
