  • 曾俊臣(1888年9月6日-1964年7月6日),族名臣勋、号正然,四川威远人,民国时期的“烟土大王”。 曾俊臣幼时起便在盐场当学徒,20岁时被派往泸州作庄客。1912年,他辞去了庄客工作,开始自营荣记粮店。1914年,他开办了当时泸州最大的“大餐楼”餐馆。1920年,他同等合伙开办了“复兴荣”盐号,同时在重庆设立了分号。后来他结织留学德国回来的税西恒,在其影响下于1922年同、等建立了泸州济和水力发电厂,并出任首席董事。 1924年,曾俊臣将复兴荣泸州总号迁往重庆,于次年被推举为重庆盐帮公所会长。期间他与地方官僚军阀交往甚密,1928年时经营楚岸盐额已达三百余傤(一傤即93600斤),成为了其时中国最大的盐业运输商。同时,他还与税西恒创立了蜀益烟厂,生产销售“青天牌”、“大佛牌”卷烟。1930年王缵绪出任四川盐运使后,曾俊臣与其结怨。在王从中作梗之下,复兴荣最终破产。此后,他曾担任潘昌猷复楚盐号宜昌、沙市分号的经理,并在重庆开办了“富丰”盐号。 1935年四川省政府开始公开承召鸦片烟商,曾俊臣与李春江、石竹轩一同开办“鑫记”土行,出任总经理,开始了鸦片烟贩销业务。经营两年多后,鑫记已获得两百万暴利,曾俊臣也被推举为重庆特业公会会长。1937年土行被官方取消、开始实行统收统销,鑫记也因此停业。不过因为官营为各方所反对,1938年曾俊臣与周云章、王政平等十多家土行合并,改组成立“庆康”土行。当时的庆康基本垄断了西南的烟土行业,曾俊臣也被称为“鸦片大王”。1939年国民政府宣布烟土冻结后,庆康终于歇业。 此后,曾俊臣又与邓起人、李懋卿等集资重新开办蜀益烟草公司,其生产的“主力舰牌”、“金钱牌”香烟曾十分畅销。但后来众多烟厂迁来重庆、竞争愈发激烈,最终于1948年倒闭,后被重庆卷烟厂合并。期间,他还曾任重庆胜利银行总经理,但也因货币贬值等原因难以为继。中华人民共和国成立后,曾俊臣进入重庆工商联。1964年他在重庆逝世,终年76岁。 (zh)
