清代内务府房产经营状况探析

The Property Business of The Qing Imperial Household Department

清代内务府拥有众多的房产。自清初内务府即开展房产经营活动,其经营方式主要有租赁、销售和开设店铺。通过房产经营,内务府获取了一笔稳定的收入,并将之应用于各方面。内务府的房产经营是皇权至上、资产增多的结果,亦是其银两生息思想的实践。

From the early Qing dynasty The Imperial Household Department began business activities of the real properties in its possession by leasing, selling the houses and running stores of its own. They then invested the profits regularly earned from the property business in restoration of the damaged buildings, state administration as supplementary expenditure, rewards to the princes and dukes and commercial loans for more interests as well. It is studied in this essay that the imperial property business grew up on the basis of an increasing property in the possession of the Imperial Household Department, the government monopoly and the desire for more profits.
