Spanish rulers in New Spain addressed the challenge of feeding soldiers by establishing agricultural systems and promoting the cultivation of staple crops. They granted land to soldiers and settlers, incentivizing them to grow food and support military garrisons. Additionally, they organized supply routes and trade networks to ensure the regular delivery of provisions from established farms and local indigenous populations. This approach helped sustain military forces while fostering agricultural development in the region.
Wooden rulers would be "reglas." Governing rulers would be "gobernantes" (governors).
