Conquered peoples were required to pay various tributes to the Aztecs, including items such as cotton textiles, food (like maize and beans), precious metals (gold and silver), cacao beans, jade, and other ornamental goods. They also paid in rubber, feathers, and livestock, as well as slaves. This tribute system was a crucial aspect of the Aztec economy and helped to establish their dominance over a vast territory.
