      Li Yumei apprenticed for the post of governor-general of the Henan conservancy by serving in a wide range of bureaucratic positions in the Yellow River region. A bagong of 1801, his first appointment was as magistrate of Wuzhi County in Henan. The remainder of his career was spent almost entirely along the river in Henan and Shandong, a fact that gave Li familiarity with both the gentry and the geography of the region.
