The correct answer is taxing all trade in their region

A huge amount of traders went to the African empires because of easy access to things like gold and jewels, or even more importantly salt which was a precious thing at that time. The government taxed all trading and since everyone wanted their goods the government became extremely wealthy and nobody could compete with them.
