The emperor, Pachacuti, didn't want the people he conquered to have too much power and freedom so he replaced all of the villages leaders with trusted government officials and the children of the villages were sent to Cuzco (the capital) to learn about the Inca ways. When the children were grown they were sent back to their villages to tell the people important information. Also, the Incas created an official language to unite the empire.

The Incas believed that the lands ruled by a Sapa Inca, the emperor, were considered sacred and connected to the divine. They believed that the Sapa Inca was the son of the sun god and had a divine right to rule over the empire. This belief reinforced the emperor's power and authority in Inca society.
The Spanish began to conquer Inca territory in the early 16th century, with their invasion led by Francisco Pizarro culminating in the capture of the Inca emperor Atahualpa in 1532. By 1572, the Spanish had complete control over the former Inca Empire.
About 12 million people lived in the Inca Empire. To rule this vast empire, the Incas formed a strong central government. The Incas didn't want conquered peoples to have too much power. So to prevent this, they made the leaders of conquered areas move out of their villages. Then they brought in new leaders. These leaders were loyal to the Inca government. The Inca government controlled the economy. Incas 'paid' their government in labor, instead of paying taxes. This labor tax system was called the mita. Under the mita, the Inca government told each household what work they had to do.
