When Empires Executed Their Own People for Salt

This video explores the dark history of salt monopolies in ancient China, where empires controlled salt as a tool of survival, taxation, and power. From Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty and the rebellion of Huang Chao, salt funded armies, enforced social control, and led to the execution of smugglers and collective punishment of villages.

Told through a first-person narrative, this story reveals how an ordinary white crystal shaped warfare, rebellion, corruption, and everyday life for over a thousand years.
Salt was once worth more than gold. In ancient China, controlling salt meant controlling survival itself. Empires nationalized its production, taxed its distribution, and executed those who touched it without permission.

This video follows the rise of imperial salt monopolies, the underground smuggling networks they created, and the rebellion led by Huang Chao that nearly toppled the Tang Dynasty—all through the eyes of a man caught between survival and empire.
