摘要
黄山大狱案是剖析明代政府与盐业资本关系的典型案例。天启间,明熹宗兴修三大殿,魏忠贤等为筹措工费连兴大狱,将徽州盐商吴养春卷入政争,抄没其资产,摊派巨额赃银,激起徽州民变。黄山大狱案由一家波及全府,由商场牵及官场、政局。政局演变中吴家数代经营的盐业资本一朝覆灭,这反映了明代盐业中垄断性商业资本积累的进程、盐业资本发展对权力的强依附性,以及盐业资本补充财政体制的机制,折射出明代皇权与商业资本间的极限博弈,也凸显了帝制农商社会强依附性政商关系笼罩下,“惟商有伤”的底层逻辑。
The Huangshan Prison Case serves as an exemplary case for dissecting the relationship between the Ming government and salt industry capital.During the Tianqi reign,Emperor Xizong initiated the construction of the Three Great Halls.To fund the project,figures such as Wei Zhongxian successively instigated major prison cases,embroiling Huizhou salt merchant Wu Yangchun in political strife.The authorities confiscated his assets and imposed massive illicit silver levies,triggering a popular uprising in Huizhou.The case escalated from targeting a single family to engulfing the entire prefecture,extending from commercial spheres to bureaucratic and political arenas.Amid shifting political dynamics,the salt industry capital accumulated by the Wu family over generations was abruptly destroyed.This reflects the monopolistic accumulation of commercial capital of salt industry in Ming dynasty,its strong dependency on political power and its role in supplementing the fiscal system.The case underscores the extreme contestation between imperial authority and commercial capital,revealing the underlying logic of“merchants as the vulnerable core”under the highly dependent political-merchant relations characteristic of the imperial agrarian-commercial society.
