清代淮盐江广口岸价探讨

Probing into the Marketing Price of Huai Salt in the Qing Dynasty

从所见史料看,清代淮盐在江广口岸的价格增长情况,可分三个阶段。其第一阶段在乾隆朝以前,增速比较平缓;从康熙三十至乾隆六年(1691—1741),年均增长指数(以盐斤重量为基础统计,下同),为0.926%。第二阶段在乾隆朝,增速较快,并于乾隆晚期增至最大值;从乾隆六至五十四年(1741—1789),年均增长指数为2.1858%。第三阶段则在乾隆晚期以后,从微观看,价格虽有变动,特殊情况下甚至高于乾隆晚期,但随之又回落,并从宏观看,该阶段盐价已处"饱和状态",无法再涨,故从乾隆五十四至同治四年(1789—1865),该阶段增长幅度和年均增长指数均可认为0。
