      However, there were quite a large number of villages, especially in poor areas, where eight or nine peasants had to support one local-level cadre. This was true in impoverished Huanglong County in Shaanxi. While Huanglong is a small county with only 40,000-odd people, it has more than 4,400 cadres and civil servants working in 308 departments. In the early years after "liberation" in 1949, however, the comparative ratio was only twenty-eight farmers to one official.
