【十羊九牧】〖shí yáng ji mù〗[Nine shepherds look after ten sheep -- too many government officials; bureaucracy; more officials than the layman]

十官领导十一员，

羊狠狼贪剥削残。

九五之尊千万臣，

牧猪奴戏喝嫖玩。

十头羊倒用九个人放牧。比喻官多民少，赋税剥削很重。也比喻使令不一，无所适从。Ten sheep were grazed by nine people. Metaphor of more officials and less the people, tax exploitation is very heavy. Also metaphor inconsistent command, at a loss. 同：僧多粥少、人浮于事。
