明朝后期的盐政变革

Salt Political Reform in the Late Ming Dynasty

明代后期，由于国有制盐场地被不断兼并、私占，盐场生产秩序、生产结构变乱，盐业经济受到严重冲击，灶课（盐场生产税）征纳倍加困难。加之官盐壅滞．私盐盛行。迫于此种情势，明政府于万历四十五年（１６１７年）实行盐政改革，废除官仓改盐法，令商、灶直接交易，改场灶实物税为货币税。

In the late Ming Dynasty, the nation owned enterprises changed in different forms. Salt economy was se- riously impacted. The income tax of salt was very difficult. Later, salt policy was reformed.
