Name
"Caoyun System" isn't actually a thing. There may be a better scholarly name for this as an integrated network for the grain tax, but the current name is and the article solves the much more pressing issue of Wikipedia's lack of a treatment of China's canal systems generally.

Edit: As the integrated tax network, the information should probably first be merged to Taxation in premodern China until there's enough material there to need a separate treatment of the grain tax. All the canal details should stay here, though. — Llywelyn II   03:32, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
