In the 18th century Europe, the peasants and the artisans in the country were ready to work for the merchants because:

Open fields and common lands were disappearing. The poor peasants depended on such lands for their firewood, vegetables, hay, and straws.Several of such peasants owned tiny land plots that could not provide work for all the members of the familyThe merchants offered advances to such peasants and artisans to produce goods for themBy doing so, the peasants could cultivate their small lands and continue to stay in the country side as wellSuch work for the merchants helped each member of the family with employment opportunitiesPeasants and artisans could supplement their agricultural income with that of the income from merchants' work.
