Yao Zhi smiled when she heard Xue Ya'er's words.
"Madam, I believe you have learned about the situation in the southern area. Based on the knowledge passed down in my family, a long period of heavy rainfall after a long drought would result in a locust plague."
As soon as she heard this, Xue Ya'er went silent for a moment before she said, "I have indeed learned about the situation, and my family has sent people to investigate. But so far, there is still no news about people spotting locust swarms."
"Madam, locust swarms mostly form in wastelands. You only need to check those areas to see if there is a locust swarm. But with all the information I have, I'm 70% sure that the locust swarm has already formed and will soon become a locust plague."
The moment she said this, everyone turned pale. Most of the servants were sold by their families, or they sold themselves to help their families during famine.
