Clown Prince is dishonest to say peasants benefit from cheaper FTs.
That is a sick joke. If we remember Bargain Hen has problems distinguishing permanent residents from local peasants, this is not a worse joke.
Even the dumbest peasants know merchants love cheap labour who work longer hours. Cheap FTs are good because they will toil to repay the huge loans that sent them here in the first place. Hence they would work 25 hours a day to settle their loans before making any money.
FTs enrich secondary merchants who provide secondary services. Such services are hostel rentals, meals etc.
In addition, Clown Prince is aware of the income from increased tax base. By import vast quantities of cheap FTs, more taxes, levies and duties can be collected.
Foreign students represent the best catch. By bribing them with a free university education, Peasantpore gets a resource without all the initial investments e.g. primary school, pastoral care etc.
Hence you should see the glow in Clown Prince's eyes when he exhorts stupid peasants to welcome new foreign peasants.
