At that time, the Guangji Canal in the capital was opened, the materials were transported, and the city's water was solved, so he also opened the water to enter the city from Ma Tengyuan and named the Guangji Canal. Water to today's West Street, north and south street mouth with a bridge, named Guangji Bridge, Chengtianmen Street was named South and North Guangji Street.
