This was fewer than the 60,000 parishes that existed before the revolution (in cities and towns, parishes were merged into one single commune; in the countryside, some very small parishes were merged with bigger ones), but 41,000 was still a considerable number, without any comparison in the world at the time, except in the empire of China (but there, only county level and above had any permanent administration).
Isto foi menos que as 60.000 parroquias que existían antes da revolución (en cidades e urbes, as parroquias foron combinadas nunha soa comuna), pero 41.000 continuaba sendo un número moi grande, nese momento sen comparación ningunha no mundo, exceptuando o Imperio de China (pero alí, só o nivel de Condado e superiores tiñan unha administración permanente).
