Song Qingci chose to get off the carriage directly and walk in by herself.

Qin Wanjun naturally followed her down and put a veil on Song Qingci.

"Go find a place to live first, then come find me. I'll take Nanny Wan for a walk."

The two guards obeyed Song Qingci's orders and immediately drove away in their carriage.

After crossing the bridge, Song Qingci and Qin Wanjun did not rush into the city, but strolled along the river bank.

There are many people here, but most of them are ordinary people living along the river.

Some were sorting the fish they had just caught on the boat, some were weaving nets, and some were bargaining with others with the catch in their hands.

It looks very down-to-earth.

"Madam, do you want to buy some fish?" Qin Wanjun didn't quite understand why she was wandering around here.

Song Qingci shook his head. "No, I'm not buying. I'm just looking around."

Song Qingci didn't walk very far. He just took a quick walk and came back.

They passed a diversion sluice nearest the city gate.

Qin Wanjun exclaimed and stopped.

"what happened?"

Song Qingci followed her gaze and saw only the closed gate.

There's nothing special about it other than that.

After Qin Wanjun came to her senses, she lowered her voice and whispered in Song Qingci's ear, "This diversion sluice is not installed correctly."

After hearing this, Song Qingci glanced at her and asked, "Do you know about water conservancy?"

Qin Wanjun pursed her lips and said after a long while, "I only have a basic understanding. When I was young, I read a few books in my father's study."

"After my father found out, he forbade me from entering the study. He said those books were for men. Since I was a woman, I only needed to read the Women's Discipline and Training books. In my spare time, I could read books on accounting and management. Everything else was just idle reading for me."

After hearing this, Song Qingci really wanted to roll his eyes.

Is there a gender divide in studying?!

Could it be that some books are no longer books if they are read by women?!

Or does it mean that if women read men's books, those books will rot and stink?

I really don't understand! I just want to curse...

After adjusting his mood, Song Qingci continued to ask, "What's the problem with this sluice gate now?"

"The function of the diversion sluice is to divert excess water. Whether it's flowing from inside to outside or from outside to inside. Therefore, the gate can be opened and closed in both directions. But this..."

She pointed at the sluice gate and said, "This place is blocked. It's impossible to open and close it in both directions. It's closed now, and I can't tell which way it opens now."

Song Qingci looked carefully at the place she pointed.

After hearing the explanation, she still didn't see anything strange.

Forget it, she won’t force herself into a field she’s not good at.

Let the headaches be left to those who understand.

"There's more than one diversion sluice. Let's check them all out to see if they're the same as this one."

Song Qingci felt that there was one like this, and the others were probably similar, but he had to let someone who understood take a look.

"it is good."

The two of them walked along the river for two full hours and finally managed to see all ten diversion sluices along the river.

Sure enough, all ten diversion gates had the same problem.

The key place is blocked, and the river water is still below the safety line. The diversion sluices have not yet worked, so no one knows which way they are going.

But you can imagine what the consequences would be if the water came and these sluice gates failed to function as they should...
