Long distance trade is much celebrated in all economic history as a marker and measure of change. Local, regional, and national economies become linked, integration creates or redefines the structure and purposes of markets, producers and consumers imperceptibly become cosmopolitans, tax collectors enrich the state and themselves, and merchants link near and far in great commercial networks.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Long distance trade is much celebrated in all economic history as a marker and measure of change. Local, regional, and national economies become linked, integration creates or redefines the structure and purposes of markets, producers and consumers imperceptibly become cosmopolitans, tax collectors enrich the state and themselves, and merchants link near and far in great commercial networks.
520 $a The Chinese case is not exceptional. Long distance trade, both domestic and foreign, made great differences over gulfs of space and time. This we have known from descriptive and anecdotal evidence and from the force of logic and theory. But one looks in vain for quantitative evidence of these mighty secular shifts. If we are honest with ourselves, we shall need to admit that we have been operating largely on faith. It is the purpose of this study to change that, to provide a quantitative dimension to the qualitative assurance that China's commercial economy was more integrated at the transregional (and perhaps national) level in the late years of the 18th and early years of the 19th century than it was in the early 15th when the Ming first began to create customs houses to tax a growing trade.
520 $a Mapping the internal trade routes as they grew in length and complexity and shifted in spatial orientation over the Ming-Ch'ing years is the first task at hand. Identifying and locating the mushrooming number of customs houses along the rivers and canals and coast of a burgeoning commercial empire is the second task, critical for a quantitative reading of change, for these taxing stations kept records of commodities in transit and revenues collected. The final chapters of the thesis function as a gloss of these spatial transformations, providing the empirical evidence of a complexifying long distance trade. The business of each customs house is treated in turn. I identify commodities in transit, their sources and destinations, their volumes and value, the tax levied, customs protocols, the inter-connections with other parts of the trading nexus. The entire project is lodged within the debates over the historicity of the so-called national market, and both here and in the conclusion I invoke the theories and arguments of the main contestants, the better to assess the contributions which a quantitative study such as this might make to the historiography of the field.
