万历年间陈增山东开矿地址及其原因考论

Preliminary Study on the Mining Sites in Shandong by Chen Zeng During Wanli Period

《明史》记载陈增曾在青州、济宁、沂州、蓬莱、福山、栖霞、招远、文登等地开矿,矿址散见于《明实录》《天下郡国利病书》及各地方志中,考证得出陈增所开矿址三十二处,主要分布于鲁东、鲁中及鲁南地区,且距当地的县城较近,其原因有二:一是明代官矿之经营需要在当地征发劳力,与县城之距离不宜过远;二是由于明朝历代矿政之变动,存留了一些已经开发的矿场,为陈增之开矿提供了条件。

History of the Ming Dynasty records that Chen Zeng opened up mines in Qingzhou,Jining,Yizhou,Penglai,Fushan,Qixia,Zhaoyuan,Wendeng and other places,and the sites of the mines can be seen in The Veritable Records of the Ming Dynasty,Junguolibingshu and some local chronicles.Research shows that Chen Zeng opened up altogether 32 mines,mainly scattered in East Shandong,Middle Shandong and South Shandong,close to the local county town.Two reasons accounted for the selection of the sites:firstly,labors for the mining were recruited in local areas so that mines needed to be close to the county town;secondly,mines developed before resulted from mining administration changes in different periods of the Ming dynasty provided the conditions for Chen Zeng’s mining.
