The Bourbon dynasty became a Spanish ruler on behalf of the Habsburg dynasty in 1700, implemented a reform plan to promote colonial economic development in the 18th century, improve colonial defense and provide a more efficient government did. The first serious impact on Peru was the establishment of a new governor of New Granada, the end of Governance of Peru in northern South America, and the loss of a new Granada at the prosperous port of Guayaquil (now Ecuador). In the coming decades, the reform of Bourbon and the expansion of the economy as a whole improved the situation in Peru. But between 1777 and 1978 the Spanish government established another governor named La Plata River. It deprived Peru's residence and the power of Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.

One of the wealthiest merchants who died in 1817 and left the heritage of 138,000 pesos was one of the wealthiest merchants who left his estate from Teodruthico El Grande (SAA Protocolos, Chapter 12, Theodoro Carrillo's Wills and Stocks, 6 September 20, 1817, 1818). When Mauricio de Alcoser acquired full ownership of Hacienda de Santa Maria from partner José Antonio GoemzdeRada in 1799, the value of this real estate was 39,000 pesos. GómezdeRada is a businessman of Real de Catorce. The origin of the merchant - hacendado Alcoser is unknown. When he "released" his seven children in 1824, he gave everyone a legacy of 20,000 pesos. At that time, the net asset of Santa Maria was 140,000 pesos (SAA Protocolos, paragraph 10, July 20, 1799, paragraph 17, paragraph 18, July 8, 1824).
