善后大借款与长芦盐区盐碱工业的发展

Reorganization Loan from a Consortium of Foreign Lenders and the Development of Salt-alkali Industry in Changlu Salt Area

1914年,近代中国著名爱国实业家、重化工业的奠基人范旭东以长芦盐为原料,在塘沽设立中国第一家精盐工厂,从而走出了探索盐碱工业的第一步。经过范旭东、景本白等人的努力,中国百姓食用劣质盐的状况开始改变。久大成功后,范旭东又开始尝试用盐制碱,打通盐碱工业的产业链。永利大规模用碱工业的创办,使盐务署开始认真对待工业用盐问题,工盐免税也成为永利运营过程中始终关注的焦点。中国精盐和纯碱工业都始创于长芦盐区,而这一切都与袁世凯主政时期的善后大借款有着一定的联系。

In 1914, Fan Xudong, a patriotic industrial entrepreneur and the founder of heavy chemical industry in modern China, started the first salt refinery plant in Tanggu, Tianjin, with Changlu salt as raw material, k was the first step in salt-alkali industry. Through the efforts of Fan Xudong, Jing Benbai and other fellows, the situation that common people ate poor-quality salt began to improve. Running Jiuda Salt Making Plant successfully, Fan Xudong tried making alkali with salt and succeeded in establishing an industrial chain of salt-alkali. Not until the founding of Yongli Alkali Plant which used industrial salt on a large scale did the Bureau of Salt Administration take the issue of industrial salt seriously. Since then, tax exemption on industrial salt became a constant concern for Yongli. Thus, China refined salt industry and soda industry both rose from Changlu salt area. And it bore some relation to reorganization loan from a consortium of foreign lenders in Yuan Shikai＇s time.
