Detailed explanation-1: -Tribute items typically included warrior costumes and shields, tropical feathers, copal incense, paper, foodstuffs, and animal products. Official tribute collectors, known as calpixque, were located in each of the conquered provinces and ensured that payments were made as required.
Detailed explanation-2: -Arguably the greatest of these was the brief Aztec empire, which subordinated most of central and southern Mexico, forcing tribute payments from a long list of subordinate towns to the Aztec “capital” at Tenochtitlan.
Detailed explanation-3: -The tlatoani of the capital city of Tenochtitlan served as the Emperor (Huey Tlatoani) of the Aztec empire. The tlatoani was the ultimate owner of all land in his city-state, received tribute, oversaw markets and temples, led the military, and resolved judicial disputes.
Detailed explanation-4: -The tribute system benefitted the overall economy of the Aztec because it promoted trade and transport between the different city-states in the region which led to new businesses and a merchant class.
