Each captain had an army, according to the importance of his province, in order that any dis- turbance might at once be punished. The pay received by the soldiers consisted of all things necessary for themselves, their wives, and children, as well food as clothing. In each province, where an army was stationed, there was a store- house full of all kinds of clothing and arms ; and though the cost was great, these houses were always kept full of the things which the natives of the different provi...nces had to provide for the men of war. These soldiers never entered a village; they had their tents in the fields, and took their wives and children with them ; and thus, without paying them other wages, the Ingas kept their armies always in the field. When a province was conquered, the Orejones were sent to it as governors and collectors of tribute. They kept so good a record in the provinces, that they knew how many were born and how many died each year; and by means of knots they could reckon evejy sum that can be reckoned with a pen.
