Leng Yuan knew that three hundred pigs were nowhere near enough to go around.
It was impossible for any single village to get fifty pigs. In the past, when five hundred pigs were available, a village like Li Jiawan might get fifty. But this year, there were only three hundred, a reduction of almost half from the previous year. On average, that meant each village would only get about twenty pigs.
With twenty pigs, by the end of the year, they'd have to turn half over to the state. The Qingshan Team would slaughter two for the New Year's feast and sell the rest for cash. It would barely make a dent.
Leng Yuan always paid close attention to news from the outside world. The people at the newspaper agency would also keep him informed about current developments, and one thing they had mentioned was a type of white pig imported from abroad.
