After Zhou Lan left, Yang Zhenshan began distributing reward silver and consolation money.
Consolation money was straightforward since it was distributed per head count.
When reporting the numbers, Yang Zhenshan had made no false claims, and Zhou Lan gave him the full amount, which he naturally passed on in full.
As for the reward silver, there were more than eight hundred soldiers who had followed him into battle, each would receive reward silver for one decapitated enemy head, that is, five taels of silver per soldier. The other soldiers had not participated in the battle but had maintained their posts, so they should also receive a reward, giving them each one tael.
The officers, the small flags involved in the war received ten taels, the General Flag received twenty taels, and the Hundred Households received fifty taels; those not involved in the battle received one-tenth of that.
