Question

why did merchants turn to countryside

Answer 1

1- Merchants supply money to peasants and artisans persuading them to produce for an International market . 
2- Demands for goods increased since the European powers had acquired colonies and sold their goods in these colonies . 
3- But merchants could not expand production within towns because the urban crafts and trade guilds were very powerful .
4- Rulers granted different guilds the monopoly rights to produce and trade in specific products . 
5- It was therefore difficult for new merchants to set up business in towns ... 

Therefore they moved to countryside ......
