Black Death caused people to panic. It caused them to work at even lower wages in order to get food.

Wages went up until parliament tried to cap them. That lead to what is known as the Peasant's Revolt.

What plague did wages rose and trade declined?

The Black Death caused the death of many peasants so they were in higher demand but there was less supply. The landlords had to pay the peasants more to keep them but eventually the government passed a law, i can't remember the name right now, which stopped peasants being paid more then a certain amount. This caused the peasants revolt. Trade declined after the Black Death as there were less crops, less traders and less peasants. Thanks!
