Farming
Tenochtitlan was built on a island. The aztects didnt have any farmland,so they found out a way to make farmland, called Chimpas. Fisher man made fishing nets from the fibers of magury catcus, and used them to catch fish, turtles, ducks, and frogs.
The aztects wove giant woode nets and placed them on top of the water.They placed mud,silt,and, rotten vebgtibles on the maps.Willow trees were planted arround the chimpas. The willow trees grew very quickley. The roots kept the chimpas standing.The aztecs grew corn ( maize ), tomatos, potatoes, chillie peppers, and squash.
The chimpas were man-made islands created by piling up mud and vegetation from the bottom of the lake. The size of the chimpas didnt matter. Whta mattered was if the two canals went into a bigger river.

Trade/Economy
Aztec trading was important to them. Cocao beams were treated as a precious substance by the aztecs. Cocao beans ere grown to make chocolate.
The Aztecs could buy tools and clothes by trading for a heavy piece of jewelry. The rare thing that were traded were rubber,Cotten,and things make using things from animals.
The Aztecs didn't have plows or other thing for farming. They also didn't have wagons or anything for transportation. They had to walk place to place.
If the caravan was likely to pass through dangerous territories, Aztec warriors accompanied the procession to provide protection. Conversely, merchants often provide a military service to the empire by spying on the empire's many enimies
