《宋史·列传·卷一百零三》
司马光说 ：使用李常主管国家财政，那么人们知道朝廷不急于征利，聚敛可稍稍平息了。 李常入对，上书七事，叫崇廉耻，存乡举，别守宰，废贪赃，审疑狱，择儒师，修役法。
光曰： 用常主邦计，则人知朝廷不急于征利，聚敛少息矣。 常转对，上七事，曰崇廉耻，存乡举，别守宰，废贪赃，审疑狱，择儒师，修役法。
Sima Guang said: Using Li Chang to manage the national finances, then people know that the court is not eager to profit, and the accumulation can be slightly subsided. Li Chang entered the audience and wrote a book of seven things, called "Respecting Shame", "Preserving Township Recommendations", "Distinguishing Officials", "Abolishing Corruption", "Judging Suspicious Cases", "Selecting Confucian Masters", and "Amending Labor Methods".
