Salt and Tobacco Stagnant incomes "Salt" and "tobacco" were the stagnant incomes. The report omits to include the revenue from the stamped paper, which is likewise typically regarded as waterproof. Since its beginnings as a tobacco store in 1636, Ensenada has classified the "tobacco" industry as a vice despite the fact that it was incredibly successful. It included a highly efficient distribution network with local warehouses (tercenas) and retail locations (estánquillos), as well as a fully independent organization. Ensenada referred to the Royal Tobacco Factory of Seville as the crown gem, and its establishment during these years had a significant role in the growth of vice as well as wealth.9. An vital thing for men, salt was proclaimed royal patrimony as early as 1384, when it was decreed that the monarch owned all salted fountains, basins, and wells. With the exception of those in Andalusia, Philip Il merged all remaining privately owned salt mines under the Crown in 1564. He also forbade the importation of salt from outside the kingdoms and directed the expansion of the network of warehouses to ensure the most convenient salt supply, towns. Since its distribution was tightly regulated and consumption was guaranteed, salt has been the most easily accessible and safest substance to establish a premium and so meet the needs of the Treasury almost since the beginning, and particularly since the 17th century. The price per bushel reached 40 reales in 1631. The Cortes of 1632-1636 decided that it should be sold at ll reales in Galicia, Asturias, and the fishing areas of Andalusia and Castile, as well as in sea and mountain ports; in "Old Castile of ports there," it should be sold at 17 reales; and in "Castilla la Nueva de Puerto Acá" and Andalusia, at 22 reales. The driving price was not included in any case. In spite of the Cortes' consent, the Crown subsequently issued other surcharge orders at different points in time (of 2, 4, 6, 7, 14, and 13 reales per bushel), but always for a predetermined amount of time based on the needs and objectives of its creation. Ensenada was given orders to cut the existing fee of 13 reales in half on January 1, 1750, and the other half on January 1, 1749, when the conflicts ended with the signing of the Peace of Aachen. This was done by taking advantage of the fact that the Royal Treasury started to handle the surcharges directly on that day.
