提 要:学界一向认为明代北运白粮赋役征收区域只有苏、松、常、嘉、湖江南五府,但却很少注意到杭州也承担了此项重役。在明代中后期,杭州作为北运白粮的征收地屡次被史书提及,这种现象甚至延续到了清代。究其原因,政府对白粮的重视与江南地区灾害频发,使得明廷不得已将杭州作为北运白粮征收的备选地。但是杭州北运白粮的征收并未制度化,造成杭州在此问题上其名不显、其绩不扬。

Abstract:It is commonly accepted that only Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, Jiaxing and Huzhou prefectures contributed the so-calledbailing(白粮,fine rice) to the capital during the Ming dynasty. This article points out that Hangzhou prefecture was also imposed with the fine rice taxation during the mid Ming period that actually lasted till the Qing dynasty. The Ming court included Hangzhou as an alternative place to charge the fine rice tax to guarantee the fine rice collection, and the frequent natural disasters occurred in the lower Yangzi delta was another reason of such a policy.
