From"Official Selling"to"Tradesmen Selling"——Distribution of Salt Profits on the Huainan Road in the Northern Song Dynasty
The Huainan area is rich in salt resources and has been an important salt production area in China since ancient times.During the Northern Song Dynasty,the sea salt production technology improved,the production of Huai salt increased,and the salt profiit was abundant.In order to strengthen the centralization of power and alleviate the financial crisis of the central government,the imperial government had to change the salt law in Huainan.In the process of changing the salt policy of Huainan in the Northern Song Dynasty from the government official sale to the system of Chao Yin salt,the attribution of Huainan salt business has been changed several times,from the main charge of the Transport Department to the concurrent charge of the Transport Department,Tidianxingyusi and Tijuchangpingsi,and then to Tiju Tea and Salt Department.The Huainan salt profit also gradually changed from local"funds"to the government's property,fully reflecting the deprivation of local finance by the central government finance.
