论明代海盐产地(上)

Sea Salt Producing Area in the Ming Dynasty(I)

明代经济得到了一定的发展,盐业生产也不例外。明代海盐产地分布于从辽东半岛至北部湾的大陆东部沿海地区及其附近某些岛屿。明代海盐生产至少有177个盐场。与元代相比,盐场总数增加了4个。由北至南按照产区依次论述,其(上)部分主要研究了辽东、长芦、山东、两淮、两浙的情况。其中,交阯12场是新设,存在时间较短。两浙盐场减少了10个,主要是盐场合并所致。辽东盐场增加了14个,这一点与明朝政府在这一地区实行军事屯田直接相关。

Economy developed in the Ming Dynasty, and the salt production industry also developed. Sea salt producing area in the Ming Dynasty distributed from Liaodong Peninsula to the coastal area in Beibu Gulfand some nearby islands. There were 177 salt fields at that time, increasing 4 compared to those in the Yuan Dynasty. This paper mainly researches on Liaodong, Changlu, Lianghuai, Liangzhe. Twelve in Jiaozhi were newly built, with short producing time. Ten were canceled in Liangzhe, which were caused by the merging of salt fields. Fourteen were increased in Liaodong, because the troops opened up wasteland in the area in the Ming Dynasty.
