When did Napoleon trade?

Napoleon Bonaparte, primarily known for his military and political endeavors, engaged in trade policies mainly during his rule from 1799 to 1815. He implemented the Continental System in 1806, which aimed to weaken Britain economically by prohibiting trade between Britain and European nations under French influence. This policy, however, led to widespread smuggling and economic hardship in many regions of Europe. Napoleon's focus on trade was often secondary to his military campaigns and political strategies.
