Step-by-step explanation:

The Aztec empire from around the 1300s to 1the 1500s CE. Trade was a major part of our empire's economy. As an Aztec merchant, I traded everything. Many of my products were from agriculture and farming. Our farmers grew corn, tobacco, pepper, beans and avocado. Apart from agricultural products, I traded jewellery, wood and medicine. Our means of exchange was by barter using different currencies. We traveled far distances across lands and waters to obtain goods and we were well respected in the empire.

Our marketplace was called the Tianquiztli. We traded to the Mayans and other surrounding neighbors of our empire.
