《新唐书·列传·卷九十九》
杨嗣复说 ：皇上每月花费俸禄几十万文钱，赏新鲜稀奇的东西一定先给，是要我辅佐圣王治理，追求尽善尽美。
嗣复曰： 陛下月费俸禀数十万，时新异赐必先及，将责臣辅圣功，求至治也。
Yang Sifux said: The emperor spends hundreds of thousands of cash per month on salaries, and the rewards for fresh and rare things must be given first. It is for me to assist the Holy King in the government, pursuing perfection.
