According to Ren Baqian's plan, it would be best for the captives to do obligatory labor for three years, followed by five years of compulsory paid labor. They could be given slight freedom and a certain amount of rewards during this five year period, which would gradually increase as time passed.
In this manner, after eight years, the captives would be restored to their status as commoners
Of course, the Yun Nation would have already ceased to exist by then, and their homes would be gone as well. Some of them would leave, but there would also be some who would remain at ease and join another "construction team" as craftsmen. Alternatively, they could take up another labor job with wages.
After Ren Baqian was done writing all of this, he opened up the window. It was already very late at night, and the moon was already high up in the sky.
