The black death wiped out huge swaths of the European population. As a result the supply of workers was low. When supply is low and demand is high, prices go up. Demand was also diminished (fewer mouths to feed) but not so much as supply, as certain sectors of the population were harder hit, especially the poor- i.e. peasants and serfs. As a result, surviving workers were able to charge more for the services. In the long term, the black death spelled the end of serfdom and paved the way for a stronger and larger middle class.

How did the plague help feudalism?
The "Black Death" (the Bubonic plague) put a premium on well bodied, able servants (the serfs). It's hard to maintain such a feudal system when thousands were dying every day across the continent, including soldiers and nobles. A plague free serf or servant was a highly desirable commodity. They began to be offered more for their work and labor. If the master didn't provide it, there were other lords willing to pay for their services. If anything, it began to improve the serf's and servant's lot in life.
Why was important for the vicar not to get the black plague?
A few reasons. During that time religion was everything. The vicar was one of the most important people in a village. If he died then there would be nobody to lead mass or bless the dead. However the most important reason was people thought the Black Plague was an act of god and the end of days. If the priest dies from the plague it would cause additional fear, lawlessness, and panic. So they tended to protect the Vicars.
