摘要
明弘治五年,户部尚书叶淇主持了盐法改革,将边方纳粮制正式转变为运司折银制。后世史书在评价这一亊件时,多持负面态度,认为"边粮腾贵,积储空虚"皆源于叶淇改革盐法,甚至质疑叶淇是因为"与扬州盐商至亲"才主导了此次变革。明中后期至清初,对于此次变法的探讨不绝于耳,评价褒贬不一,而叶淇变法的诘难背后,折射出有明一代盐业经济的变迁。
At the fifth year of Emperor HongZhi in Ming Dynasty, the Finance Minister Ye Qi presided over the reform of salt law. It represented that people used silver to exchange salt tickets instead of using grain to exchange salt tickets. When historians commented on this event, they always held negative attitudes. Not only did they think Ye Qi was the criminal of grain empty in border areas, but also they accused that Ye Qi was in collusion with Yangzhou salt merchants and changed the salt law. Till Qing Dynasty, the discussion of this matter was continuous and complicated with active and negative attitudes, which reflected the changes of salt economy during Ming Dynasty.
