Abstract:After Xianfeng-Tongzhi turmoil, the increase of land and commercial taxes and surcharges improved the fiscal freedom of the county. The trend was affected by a later reform by the provincial government seeking its own fiscal power after the New Deal of late Qing Dynasty. This essay, based on the Baxian archives, concludes that the new tax institution Jingzheng Ju,in its ability to strengthen provincial fiscal coordination and tax collection, helped to keep a fiscal balance between different counties while weakened their fiscal power at the same time.
