Biography
郑基，广东香山人。
清史稿卷四百七十七 列传二百六十四：
基，字筑平，广东香山人。以诸生入赀为知县。乾隆间铨授安徽凤台县，东乡有通川三：曰黑濠，曰湿泥，曰裔沟。汇颍上、蒙城诸县水以达淮，岁久尽湮，秋潦辄成巨浸。侍郎裘曰修奉使治淮、颍诸水，独不及凤台。基具牍陈利害及工事甚悉，曰修允其请。基察土宜，穿故渠，三河交畅。酾上游诸水以通淮流，不逾时工成。鲁松湾地远淮而卑，频患潦，捐俸倡筑堤障，遂成膏腴。调定远，举卓异，擢寿州知州。安丰塘，古芍陂也。塘圮，基审覈旧制，缮复之，为水门三十六，为闸六，为桥一。其旁则为堨、为堰、为圩，启闭以时，汙莱尽辟。尝循行阡陌，见沙地硗确多不治，教民种薯蓣，佐菽麦，俾无旷土。寿州不知蚕织，而地多椿樗，可饲蚕。购蚕种，教民饲之，农桑并兴。其后遇旱，独凤台、寿州秋成稔於他县，以水利修也。迁泗州直隶州知州。赈水灾，饥而不害。擢江苏淮安知府，淮安为众水所聚，於城东濬涧市河，於北开渔滨山字河，於西开护城河，壅滞悉通，民便之。
基博览前史，於河渠水利图经，丹铅殆遍，施行辄有成效。乾隆四十一年，擢江南守巡道，命甫下而卒。
