Mercantilism consisted of lowering imports and increasing exports.

Exports were goods that other countries needed, and so those needed to be increased.
Imports were goods that your country needed, and so those needed to be kept to a minimum.

Answer:

Sumptuary laws

Explanation:

Sumptuary laws are laws designed to prevent a specific group of people from buying a specific type of goods: usually luxury goods.

After the deadly bubonic plague of 1348 to 1352, also known as the black plague, or the black death, peasants had more land available either for themselves, or to work as laborers, and their wages rose because of that. They could now afford some small luxuries like higher quality clothes.
