《明史·列传·卷一百六十九》
县内有一大泽，积水占去肥沃土地二十余里，幼学督率群众疏导河流五十七道，开渠一百三十九条，将积水引入小清河，百姓大获其利。大庄许多地方常被水淹，幼学组织民众筑堤十三道，挡住流水。
令民投牒者，必入草十斤。未几，草尽，得沃田数百顷，悉以畀民。有大泽，积水，占膏腴地二十余里。幼学疏为河者五十七，为渠者百三十九，俱引入小清河，民大获利。大庄诸里多水，为筑堤十三道障之。
A large marsh in the county had flooded over 20 li of fertile land, so You Xue led the people in dredging 57 rivers and digging 139 canals, bringing the floodwater into the Xiaoqing River, greatly benefiting the people. Many parts of Dazhuang were regularly flooded, so You Xue organized the people to construct 13 dikes to block the water.
