《旧唐书·列传·卷九十八》
待他再次任宰相时，便请求裁减官员和那些经由各种途径进身的胥吏等，并核定朝廷内外官员的俸禄，当时的人都认为很恰当。
及再入相，请减省职员并诸色出身胥吏等，及量定中外官俸料，时以为当。
When he was appointed as the prime minister again, he asked to reduce the number of officials and personnel and servants, and to assess the salaries of officials inside and outside the court. People of that time thought that this was quite appropriate.
