Hetu Construction Aspiration

In the 217th year since the founding of Dashuo, all rivers in the world have the names of gods, and embankments, gates, canals, and weirs are all governed by the "Water Book". When a river worker digs a water stake in the water, he sets a rule for the world; if people live along the canal for hundreds of years, the waterway may give birth to new clergy. Pei Jian was just the humblest water measuring calligrapher in Qingshi Port. Before a flood on a rainless night, he found that the official water gauge had been cut off by three inches and raised as a whole. All readings were lowered by three inches. Three inches is enough to keep three thousand river workers on the embankment where they will die; it is also enough to allow a private temple wearing an official title and devouring public water services to eat another river through the flood. Pei Jian knocked on the old wooden pile buried in the river bed and heard the sound of one hundred and twenty-seven dead river workers chipping away at the water. They did not beg him for revenge. They only said: "The dikes haven't closed yet." So, Pei Jian started by filling up the three-inch water ruler, measuring the river, building weirs, opening canals, and fixing his position. It wasn't until one day that the Immortal Officials of the Manchu Dynasty discovered—— This river worker who emerged from the muddy water has redrawn a river map for the world.
