烟草传入中国后,自万历后期约1600年后开始快速传播。到了清朝初期,烟草很快发展成为仅次于棉花的重要经济作物,在许多地区的农业经济中占着巨大的比重。从已掌握的相关史料进行分析,笔者认为造成这一现象的最根本原因是明清之际的经济商业因素,本文试图从烟草的高利润、资本主义生产关系萌芽、商业交通路线、白银货币化等四个方面对这一历史现象的内在动因进行探讨。 After tobacco was introduced into China, it began to spread rapidly after about 1,600 years in the late Wanli period. By the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, tobacco quickly developed into an important cash crop next to cotton, accounting for a huge share of the agricultural economy in many areas. From the available historical data, I believe that the most fundamental reason for this phenomenon is the economic and commercial factors during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This paper attempts to start from the high profit of tobacco, the budding relations of capitalist production, the commercial traffic routes, the silver monetization And other four aspects of this historical phenomenon of the internal motivation to explore.
