《三国志·魏书·诸夏侯曹传》
长吏以上的官吏，都要通过考评来委派，按照政绩提升官职，那他所治理的人口也会随之增长，这是促使贤才发挥才干立功的有效办法，如果这个制度确定下来，那官员就会依照能力排序，治理地方的成果也会明了，这是第五个方面。
自长以上，考课迁用，转以能升，所牧亦增，此进才效功之叙也，若经制一定，则官才有次，治功齐明，五也。
Officials above the prefect level should all be appointed through evaluation and promoted according to their political achievements. Then, the population under his jurisdiction will also increase. This is an effective way to encourage talents to show their talents and make contributions. If this system is established, then the officials will be ranked according to their abilities, and the results of local governance will also be clear. This is the fifth aspect.
