He hired ships to the Yangtze River, Huaihe River, the abandoned Yellow River, Baima Lake, gaobao lake, Hongze Lake and the vast coastal areas east of fangongdi to carry out field surveys, visit local farmers and fishermen, consult relevant water conservancy and hydrological data, and draw hundreds of water conservancy maps. Once, he went to investigate the water system and did not return for three years. The common people praised him for his "great Yu style".
