GOMEZ MURILLO, Ana Guillermina. The Supply of Commodities to Zacatecas during the XVIth and XVIIth centuries. Estud. hist. novohisp [online]. 2020, n.63, pp.3-32.  Epub Jan 21, 2021. ISSN 2448-6922.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iih.24486922e.2020.63.70192.

This article explains the challenges that arose with the supply of the basic products brought to Zacatecas, more specifically, the establishment of grain supplying regions, commodities, and the organization of trade in this Spanish Colonial mining town. It would indicate the beginning of the exploratory routes that took the peninsular Spaniards to the northern and how it led to a new economic direction with the consolidation of mining as the base of New Spain economy. A fundamental piece in the regularization of commerce was the town council.
