摘要
清代乾隆初年,刘河镇上由山东、关东和江苏商人开设的豆船字号当在百家左右。豆船字号是运销豆麦杂粮的商业资本主开设的铺号,拥有巨额商业资本,为时有长达几十年者,其中来自山东登州、胶州的两帮实力最为雄厚,其押运标银的气派和声势为当时民间商业运输所罕见。豆船字号大多采用委托经营的方式,交易商品的结算方式独特而先进,货银定有标期,十天一标,到期送上标银清算。清前期苏州发达的金融市场,正是由包括刘河豆业字号在内的商品流通造就的。因为交易量巨大,税额可观,地方政府特设“保税行”,既确保了税收,也方便了交易。商客(豆船字号)、豆行、保税行,形成了相互关连互负责任的商业经营链。
There were over 100 Bean Boat Shops opened by businessmen from Shandong,northeast China and Jiangsu during the reign of Emperor Qian Long in the town of Liuhe.The so-called Bean Boat Shops were shops run by businessmen with huge sums of commercial capital who dealt with the transportation of beans,wheat and other coarse cereals.These shops usually adopted entrusted managements and had a unique and advanced way of settling accounts.The circulation of commodities,including the operation of these shops,contributed much to the developed financial market in the early Qing dynasty.
