先是，諸州府除蠶鹽外，每年海鹽界分約收鹽價錢一千七萬貫，高祖以所在禁法，抵犯者眾，遂開鹽禁，許通商，令州郡配征人戶食鹽錢，上戶千文，下戶二百，分為五等，時亦便之。
Earlier, apart from silkworm salt, the various prefectures and districts annually collected about seventeen million strings in salt-price revenue from the maritime salt zones. Because prohibition laws were widely violated wherever they were enforced, Gaozu lifted the salt prohibition, permitted free trade, and ordered prefectures and districts to levy a salt-money charge on households—one thousand cash for upper households and two hundred for lower households, divided into five grades. At the time this was also considered convenient.
