Canal Ding: Heyin Li Family

In the eleventh year of the Sui Dynasty, the Grand Canal was turbulent and the waves were raging. Corruption was gnawing at the people. The Peach Blossom Flood was coming, the river embankments collapsed, and millions of people were about to become fish and turtles. Li Yanzhi, a doctor of water conservancy and river administration in the modern Sui and Tang Dynasties, touches the fragments of the ancestral "Li's River Control Notes" and travels back in time to the grandson of Li Bo, a famous official in river control in the Sui Dynasty - the boy with the same name who was falsely accused of collaborating with bandits and was on the verge of death in prison for fighting for water conservancy. There is no system, no plug-ins, but a thousand years of river management knowledge, inheritance of Li family's ancestral methods, control of canal water conservancy, and reclamation of polder fields beside the embankments. Defeat the nobles, protect the canal gangs, gather the people who farm the fields, use the river politics to set the rules, use the agriculture and mulberry trees to calm the people, build river defense fortresses, and guard the dark corner of the river. From prisoners to river farmer leaders, from guarding embankments in troubled times to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Li family has guarded the river for generations! What we are guarding is not just one embankment or one canal, but the lights of thousands of houses under the embankment, one third of an acre of grain in the field, and the thousand-year-old mountains and rivers of the Grand Canal, which are safe and sound every year!
