After receiving the news, the entire capital was in an uproar.

Ever since the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, the Ming emperors have been hiding in the Forbidden City as otakus for hundreds of years.

Not to mention leaving the capital, even leaving the palace is very rare.

Li Yunze's departure from Beijing is tantamount to dropping a bombshell.

All the officials and nobles collectively tried to stop it, but without a leader, it was impossible to achieve a scale.

At this time, Sun Chengzong and Zhang Chun had already gone to Liaodong, and Sun Chuanting had gone to Shaanxi.

As for Wen Tiren, known as the emperor's yes-man, he traveled with the cabinet seal.

The remaining Xu Guangqi and Li Guopu did not dare to meddle in other people's business. Even if the officials jumped anxiously, they would just shake their heads.

Some people wanted to ask Empress Dowager Zhang to come forward, but the palace confinement that had just been purged was extremely strict, and no news could get through at all.

Others went to Chaoyang Gate to stop them, but they were chased away by the sergeants accompanying them from a distance.

As for those nobles, all those who appeared at Chaoyang Gate followed Li Yunze's words.

"Carrying weapons, wearing armor, carrying a strong bow, riding a horse and traveling with the frame."

The Ming Dynasty had many nobles, but years of glory and wealth had already corroded them. This can be seen by watching Dream of Red Mansions.

But now that Li Yunze has spoken, they can only bite the bullet and ask the servants to go home quickly to get weapons and armor.

After the news spread, those nobles who had not come to Chaoyang Gate urgently mobilized their children to come and report.

Unlike those officials who can retire with nothing but their bones, the nobles truly depend on the emperor for their lives.

The emperor was satisfied, and the nobles were prosperous and wealthy.

The emperor was dissatisfied, and there was no difficulty except their title.

The reason why the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not as good as the previous generations was largely because they had been hiding in the Forbidden City all year round, had no contact with the real people's livelihood conditions, and were trapped in an information cocoon.

Li Yunze is different, he is not a person who only knows how to hide and enjoy himself.

The traveling team waited outside Chaoyang Gate all morning, chasing away all the officials and arresting nobles to join the procession, until three o'clock in the morning.

"Who else?"

"Your Majesty, no one has come to stop me for an hour."

"Set off!"

Li Yunze has many things to do, including putting fishing boats into the Bohai Bay to fish, experimenting with artificial rainfall systems, surveying the route from Beijing to Tianjin along the way, and so on.

By the way, I also wanted to see with my own eyes what the living standards of the people of Ming Dynasty were like.

The official system of the Ming Dynasty was very developed, but its quality was worrying.

Even the road from Tongzhou to Beijing is a dirt road that is dusty and muddy on sunny days and rainy days.

Li Yunze plans to build a road to Tianjin Wei and, if possible, a railway. After that, it can be transported by sea to transport troops, food, people and goods.

Sea transportation is the most convenient, quick and effective way in this era.

In one afternoon's journey, the team arrived in Tongzhou, which is dozens of miles away.
