However, for Li Shu, given that the engineering volume of transforming the five major grain-producing areas is already so formidable, and the amount of water required for this construction is not merely ordinary.
If that's the case, why not view the construction of the water network as a whole, plan and integrate it, using the Grand Canal as the core for development? After all, the project is already huge, no need to worry about it becoming more extensive.
For ordinary people, there's not much difference between a twenty-five year project and a thirty-year one. By integrating them into a unified construction, we can even interlink and integrate the involved water channels, forming an internal river network, thoroughly solving the water network issues of several provinces in the Central Plains.
