Travelling Merchants among the Aztecs

Expeditions to distant provinces were
undertaken by the company of TateluIco
for nurposes of commercial gain or br
order of the king, when political Gains
were the object in view, and the traders in
reality armed soldiers; or more rarely bv
| individual merchants on their own private
account. For protection large numbers
usually travelled in company, CHOOSING
some one of the company to act as leader
Previous to departure they gave BANQUET
to the old merchants of the town, who INV br
reason of their age had ceased to travel
at this feast they made known their plans
and spoke of the places they intended to
visit and roads by which they would
travel. The old merchants applauded the
spirit and enterprise Of those who were
going on the expedition, and if they were
Young and inexperienced, encouraged
them and spoke of the fame they would
gain for having left their homes to under
take dangerous journey and suffer pri-
vations and hardships. They reminded
them of the wealth and honored name ac
Eauired by their fathers in similar expedi-
tions, and gave them advice as to the best
manner of conducting themselves on the
road.
On the route the carriers marched in
single file, and at every camping place the
strictest watch was kept against enemies.
and especially against robbers, who then
as now infested the dangerous passes to
Law in wait for the richly laden caravans
Rulers of the different friendly provinces
mindful of the benefits resulting from
such expeditions, constructed roads and
kept them in repair; furnished bridges OF
boats for crossing unfordable streams; and
at certain points, remote from towns,
placed houses for the travellers accommo-
dation. Expeditions in hostile provinces
were undertaken by the Nahualoztomecas,
who disguised themselves in the dress of
the province visited, and endeavored to
initiate the manners and to speak the Ian
guage of its people, with which it was a
qualification of their profession to make
themselves acquainted. Extraordinary
pains was taken to guard against robbers
on the return to Mexico, and it is also said
to have been customary for the merchants
on nearing the city, to dress in rags,
affecting poverty, and an unsuccessful
trip. The motive for this latter proceed
ing is not very apparent, nor for the inva-
riable introduction of goods into the city
by night; they had not even the hope of
evading the payment OF taxes which in
later times prompts men to similar con-
duct, since merchandise could only be sold
in the public market, where it could not
be offered without paying the royal per-
centage of duties.-Fr0m adeaaee sheets Of
