"No." Zhang Yu's expression instantly turned serious. He turned to look at Song Xiang and said, "You must remember that this will belong to the Ming Dynasty from now on, and these people will become citizens of the Ming Dynasty. Those who are loyal to us and who work hard for us must not be harmed. Not only must they not be harmed, but they must be adequately rewarded."
"We need to prove to the Koreans that they can get enough benefits just by doing things for us, and they don't have to worry about us killing people and losing their lives. This matter is of utmost importance. Have the Koreans take this steward and rescue him. Tell them that we will never abandon any of them. As long as they work wholeheartedly for the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will never abandon them at any time, and the benefits they receive will far exceed their imagination. This way, they will be more dedicated."
"If the old steward dies, take all his family members away. No, before you go to rescue him, take his family away first. Tell them that even if he dies and cannot be saved, your family will be properly arranged. After arriving in the Ming Dynasty, your family will still be given the status of Ming Dynasty citizens. Your children can enter the local schools of the Ming Dynasty for free. In the future, they can study, take exams, and become officials in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty will provide your family with money and food every year until your children come of age."
"In addition, when someone dies, their family will receive a generous pension and all the rewards they deserve."
"You should do this yourself, and make sure you do it well. Regardless of whether they're dead or alive, you should give them what they deserve. It's the North Koreans who are rescuing them anyway, so you don't have to do it yourself. If anyone dies during the rescue, handle it according to this established practice."
Song Xiang looked at Zhang Yu, and after hearing his last words, she rolled her eyes and said, "I thought you were being merciful, but in the end you're still using their people to exchange for theirs? Maybe even more people will die in the process of saving them."
"Attitude," Zhang Yu said, looking at Song Xiang and smiling, "Attitude is very important."
