摘要
本文通过对湘东南郴州和桂阳州矿政的讨论,揭示矿政变化背后官与商,省与州之间就矿厂管理权所发生的种种纠葛以及官办与市场之间的矛盾。本文认为乾隆年间郴桂矿政的频繁转变,与其说是追求收益率,倒不如说是不同利益主体对"寻租"行为控制权的争夺。在这种背景下,矿商就是包税者,而官府则充当起"保护人"。
This paper examines mining management in Chenzhou and Guiyang prefectures in eastern Hunan, discussing the conflicts between government officials and merchants as well as provincial and prefectural officials over the rights to manage mines. The essay argues that the government＇s conception of trade was heavily influenced by ideas of ＂rent seeking＂ and it was this objective, rather than the development of the mines, which drove changes in government policy.
