The Aztecs did not destroy the villages and tribes they conquered because they relied on tribute and tribute payments from these regions to sustain their economy and empire. By keeping these villages intact, they were able to extract resources and labor from them. Additionally, incorporating these conquered territories into their empire allowed the Aztecs to expand their influence and power.
