Answer» Merchants had to give their goods only to guilds . In the 17th and 18th century the merchants from the town in europe began moving to the country side because the availability of raw material was cheap and even the labourers were also available for more production (i) ln 17th and 18th centuries merchants from towns in Europe began moving to the countryside supplying money to peasants and artisans persuading them to produce for an international market.(ii) With the expansion of world trade and acquisition of colonies in different parts of the world, the demand for goods increased.(iii) Since production in towns and cities was controlled by powerful guilds, the merchants , began employing peasant and artisans from villages.
