Under the system, the government designated who could produce salt, and the shipping of salt outside authorized districts was banned. The salt trade was long a significant source of revenue for the state, and helped provide revenue and pay for troops in far-flung outposts of the Chinese empire.
在这种制度下,政府指定盐类生产商,禁止将盐运送至授权地区之外的地方。盐类贸易长期以来一直是政府的重要收入来源,在一定程度上带来收益,为中华帝国偏远前哨的士兵提供军饷。
As China has industrialized, the contribution of the salt monopoly to overall tax revenues has greatly diminished, but it has still served important functions. As recently as the mid-1990s, China experienced widespread problems of preventable developmental disabilities because of a lack of iodine in children’s food supply. In 1995, the country mandated that edible salt be iodized to reduce the problem, and the salt monopoly was used to enforce that rule.
随着中国实现工业化,盐业专营制度对总税收的贡献大幅减少,但仍然发挥重要作用。最近,也就是在1990年代中期,由于儿童食用的食物缺乏碘,中国出现了广泛的可预防的发育性残疾问题。1995年,中国下令生产加碘盐,以减轻这一问题,政府利用了盐业专营制度来实施该规定。
Studies have found a significant reduction in levels of iodine deficiency since the requirement was put in place.
