《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪十》
中书舍人高季辅上书言道： 京外官员品阶低微的，仍未得到俸禄，关系到自身饥寒，也难保清白的名声，如今府库充实，应当酌量优厚供给，然后才可以责成他们廉正，严格制定各种禁令。
中书舍人高季辅上言： 外官卑品，犹未得禄，饥寒切身，难保清白，今仓廪浸实，宜量加优给，然后可责以不贪，严设科禁。
Gao Jifu, the clerk in the Secretariat, submitted a memorial, saying: The low-ranking officials working outside the imperial court still haven't got their salaries, which may lead to them suffering from hunger and cold, and even make it impossible to maintain their honest reputation. As the government treasury is sufficiently full, appropriate and generous payment should be made to them so that we can hold them responsible for being impartial and upright and strictly formulate various prohibitions.
