The Matter of Merchants in Constantinople
With our conquest of Constantinople, the time has come to rethink our policy regarding the trade that flows through that mighty Target Location Rank. We could try to implement laws to increase the state control over the merchants. Though it will surely infuriate the powerful merchant republics, whose traders have long enjoyed certain privileges in Constantinople, it could benefit our economy in the long run.

272historical_info = flavor_tur.6.historical_info Prior to his conquest of Constantinople Mehmed II signed several generous agreements with the mercantile empires of Venice and Genoa to ensure their neutrality, but when the great city had fallen he was not late in breaking the western merchants' strangle-hold on the Black Sea trade. Mehmed was a mercantilist who strived to maintain state control over the merchants, and for a time it proved an effective policy - the Ottoman economy thrived.
