民国川盐运黔纠纷与川黔政治生态

Dispute over Transportation of Sichuan Salt to Guizhou in Republic of China and the Political Environment of Sichuan and Guizhou

川盐入黔是贵州食盐消费的主渠道,民国军阀统治贵州时代,川盐行黔运销体制变动频繁,川黔两地围绕川盐的价格问题产生了争执,双方各执一词,川责黔之保税,黔咎川之加价,双方协商不断。这种争执反映了民国前期川黔军阀政治下的政治生态,中央威权的消失、军阀乱政下的苛捐杂税及经济贫弱等是造成川黔盐务纠纷的重要根源。

Sichuan salt was the main source of table salt in Guizhou. In the Warlord era, the transportation and marketing system of Sichuan salt to Guizhou changed frequently;thus dispute over the salt price started between the two provinces. Sichuan criticized Guizhou for bonded price, while Guizhou blamed Sichuan for price rising. No agreement was reached. The dispute revealed that in the early Republic of China, the political environment of Sichuan and Guizhou was a chaos without central authority, and under the rule of warlords heavy taxes and poor economy were the important causes of the salt dispute.
