至正二年正月，中書參議孛羅帖木兒、都水傅佐建言，起自通州南高麗莊，直至西山石峽鐵板開水古金口一百二十餘里，創開新河一道，深五丈，廣十五丈，放西山金口水東流至高麗莊，合御河，接引海運至大都城內輸納。 In the first month of Zhizheng 2 counselor Boluotiemuer and Director of Waterworks Fu Zuo proposed opening a new channel from Gaolizhuang south of Tongzhou to the ancient Jinkou at Stone Gorge Iron Plate west of the mountains—over one hundred twenty li, five zhang deep and fifteen zhang wide—to divert western mountain water east to Gaolizhuang, join the Imperial Canal, and bring sea transport into the capital.

繼而御史糾劾建言者，孛羅帖木兒、傅佐俱伏誅。 Censors then impeached the proposers; Boluotiemuer and Fu Zuo were both executed.
