《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪二十五》
现在国家官吏的定员已很多，无专职的官吏又是其数量的一倍，但求官的人仍未满足，官吏的数量不断增加。
今列位已广，冗员倍之，干求未厌，日月增数。
Now there are already many officials in the country, and the number of officials who do not have full-time positions is only twice as large, but those who seek official positions are still not satisfied, and the number of officials continues to grow.
