Description

The author discusses the right to use natural resources by the Mongolian banners in the Qing Empire by interpreting the Mongolian banner’s effort to sell the salt to Chinese merchants and the controversy about a salt lake called Qaljan toli, which is located in Western Inner Mongolia, between the banners of Alaša and Urad. The results of this study revealed the following facts: 1. The central government gave the Alaša banner permission to sell salt to the market of the Inner Provinces if it was profitable for the banner and did not cause any trouble between the different banners and the Chinese merchants. The Qing then tried to control the amount of salt exported by the banner. 2. The task of the imperial envoy Fude was to resolve the feud between the banners of Alaša and Urad in 1734, and to determine to which banner the salt lake belonged. He did not show any intention of enforcing the salt monopoly of the Qing and did not attempt to remove the salt lake from Mongolian banners and put it under the direct control of the central government.
