On the top of the main hall, Zhao Lei is hanging the world map made overnight on the wall next to him, and around him is the latest leadership team of the imperial court, the eight important ministers Meng Wang Zhao Yuanyan, the two prime ministers Wang Zeng and Zhang Shixun, the governor Yan Shu, the new governor Li Ruogu, the three envoys Ye Qingchen, the new privy council envoy Chen Yaozuo, and the privy deputy envoy Chen Xiliang.

After Lu Yijian was demoted, hundreds of officials were implicated in the imperial court, first Song Zhu and Cai Qi, who had close contacts with Lu Yijian, were demoted out of Beijing successively, and then the Taiwanese officials who were mainly the right secretary Gao Ruone and the officials of the six ministries and three divisions of the three provinces were demoted, and soon after, Zhang Shixun, the governor of the political affairs, made up for the lack of Lu Yijian's prime minister, the original Longtuge University Scholar, Taichang Temple Shaoqing Li Ruogu was promoted to the governor, and the deputy envoy of the three divisions Chen Yaozuo was promoted to the privy envoy, the imperial envoy Chen Xiliang was appointed the privy deputy envoy, plus the other five important ministers, A new leadership group of the imperial court was formed.

These officials above the court, for Zhao Lei, are not strangers, although some people have never seen it, but they have been famous for a long time, these people are all capable ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, Chen Xiliang is as vicious as hatred, Chen Yaozuo is shrewd and capable, Li Ruogu is old and calculating, plus the eight important ministers are of different ages, these people can be said to be the elite representatives of the three generations of the old, middle and young people in the court, and the purpose of the official Zhao Zhen to promote these people is, of course, to hope to be able to do a great job.

Just when the official Zhao Zhen rectified the internal power struggle, drew his sword and looked around to prepare for a big job, Zhao Lei was very smart to give the official Zhao Zhen a big project that could be famous for eternity.

"What is this?" The official Zhao Zhen looked at a map that Zhao Lei hung up from a distance. I couldn't help but be curious, and asked Zhao Lei eagerly.

"Enlighten the official family! It's a map, a map of the whole world! Zhao Lei decided to shake out all the knowledge in his heart today, and when he heard the official's inquiry, he said proudly.

"The world? What is the World? Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Meng, said to Zhao Lei with a confused face, it seems that the Song people don't understand the words of Zhao Lei's mouth after a thousand years.

"Under the shadow of the emperor. It is the world, this is the map of the world, look here, this is the place of the Great Song Dynasty, around the Great Song Dynasty, there are Liao, Xixia, Goryeo, Japan, Hui, Heihan, Dali, Tufan, Yue Li Dynasty, Liuqiu, Mayi, Boni, Tianzhu, and many small countries, these countries are the countries that have dealings with the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to these countries. In the whole world, there are many countries and vast regions, which are a hundred times larger than the Great Song Dynasty, Liao, Tufan and other countries combined, and these countries used to have dealings with the Central Plains during the Tang Dynasty. However, due to the civil strife in the Central Plains, contact was lost. Zhao Lei put the simple world map he drew by himself in front of everyone, pointed to the geographical location of the Great Song Dynasty in Asia on the map, and said loudly to the official Zhao Zhen and the eight important ministers of the imperial court in the palace.

"Wait! How did Lord Zhao know these things? Li Ruogu, who is sixty years old, but has a calculating political minister, asked Zhao Lei suspiciously in a hoarse and old tone.

"Xiaguan was born in Lumen. Lu Shi once made a big bird that could soar in the sky, and then flew all over the world on a big bird, and left a few travelogues. That's why the lower officials knew about these things. Zhao Lei had already prepared for this, and said vigorously to the elites and officials of the Great Song Dynasty above the palace.

"Not bad! It is recorded in ancient books that Lu Shi once made a big bird that could fly in the sky for three days and three nights without falling to the ground, and it is not difficult to fly all over the world with this sharp weapon! King Meng Zhao Yuanyan pondered for a moment, nodded and said to a few people around him.

"Is the world really that big?" The official Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair and asked in a trembling tone, he already understood what Zhao Lei meant, the strength and glory of the Tang Dynasty have always been the goal pursued by various emperors. can have the opportunity to reproduce the grand events and glory of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of temptation that can last for centuries, how can the official Zhao Zhen resist.

"The world is so big, look at the surroundings of the Great Song Dynasty, there are many countries, but the Great Song Dynasty is the center of the world, and all the countries are surrounding the Great Song Dynasty!" Privy envoy Chen Yaozuo looked at the simple world map drawn by Zhao Lei and said with a sigh.

"The Great Song Dynasty is not the center of the world, in fact, no country is the center of gravity of the world, the whole world is a sphere......" Zhao Lei began to carry out popular science education, telling all the things he knew to these people in the hall.

"Impossible! The heaven and the earth are round is a matter that the sage has long decided, how can the world be round, and as Lord Zhao said, how can we stand on this round earth? Even the most intelligent Song people can't understand the knowledge accumulated for thousands of years, hearing Zhao Lei's words, the official family was shocked, and Wang Zeng, Zhang Shixun and others have begun to loudly accuse Zhao Lei of bewitching the public.

Zhao Lei knew that it was not easy for these Song people to accept these previous knowledge, so he slowly instilled all kinds of popular science knowledge into these Great Song elites in front of him with great patience and patience.

In the questions and answers, happy to sort out this popular science education lasted until dawn, a whole night of popular science education, so that the Northern Song Dynasty elites in the hall were very excited, but unfortunately, Wang Zeng, Li Ruogu, these old people, after a night of thinking and studying, the early morning has begun to crumble, and in desperation, the official Zhao Zhen ended this popular science education in time, ordered everyone to go back to rest, and find another time to have another popular science education.

……

In the backyard of Zhao Mansion, Zhao Lei was anxiously going back and forth between several courtyards, and in those courtyards, the miserable screams of the four pregnant women of Zhao Mansion were heard from time to time, and Zhao Lei's side, Su Xun and Hou Shan and others were also waiting anxiously.

"What's the matter, Lan'er, Xinlan, Shengguo and Xiaocui actually gave birth on the same day!" Zhao Lei stood in the courtyard with an impatient face, looking at the busy women and maids inside and outside the house, and said anxiously.

"Congratulations to Brother Sanshi! This time he must be happy with his son, Brother Sanshi doesn't need to be so impatient, he is so anxious to give birth to four at a time. It's better than being anxious four times in a row! Su Xun looked at Zhao Lei, who was anxious and a little at a loss, and comforted him as a passerby.

Now Zhao Lei was standing in Tian Lan's yard, and when he heard Tian Lan's hoarse cry in the house, Zhao Lei couldn't listen to Su Xun's words at all, just walked back and forth anxiously.

At this moment, in the courtyard to the northwest. Suddenly there was a burst of crying baby, and Zhao Lei immediately thought of surprise that someone was alive.

"It's Lady Tsui's yard!" Hou Shan looked at the northwest and said to Zhao Lei with a happy face.

As soon as Hou Shan's words fell, Zhao Lei had already trotted out of Tian Lan's courtyard and met the maid who came to report the good news.

"Congratulations, sir! Congratulations to you! Mrs. Cui successfully gave birth to a big fat boy, and the mother and son are safe! The little maid looked at Zhao Lei who was coming towards her, and congratulated Zhao Lei very obediently and said.

"Good! Hou Shan, reward, all the rewards for helping today are five taels of silver! When Zhao Lei heard the little maid's words, he was overjoyed and said to Hou Shan behind him.

Zhao Lei was overjoyed and walked to the courtyard where Xiaocui lived. took the son who was holding the ground in the hands of Wen Po, and looked at Xiao Cui, who was already tired and sleepy, and his heart was full of pity.

Just when Zhao Lei was excitedly and happily coaxing his son in Xiaocui's room, Bai Xinlan and Tian Lan gave birth to a son to Zhao Lei one after another, and Princess Shengguo also gave birth to a daughter to Zhao Lei. In just one day, Zhao Lei became the father of three sons and one daughter.

Wow wow! The baby's crying was particularly loud in the silent night, and the crying of the four babies one after another formed a harassment song, which kept the entire Zhao Mansion awake all night.

……

Congratulations. Congratulations! Zhao Lei walked in the camp of the New Army, and the first sentence of the officials he met was to congratulate Zhao Lei on the joy of having three sons and one daughter.

Among the marshal's tents. Zhao Lei smiled bitterly and looked at today's Bianjing News.

"When will I, Zhao Lei, have an heir, and I will be able to be listed in the Bianjing News, am I already famous to this extent! Or is there no news to write about in Bianjing lately? Zhao Lei pointed to the news in the corner of the Bianjing News in his hand about his three sons and one daughter, and said to Ouyang Xiu beside him with a wry smile.

"There's no way, Bianjing has been too calm recently, there are no new measures in the imperial court, and the officials are as plain as water, and they can't find anything to write about! Liu Yong actually went to the south to play, and now it is winter again, and even the cold snap has been encountered. In this case, there is nothing to write about in the entertainment sector, just fill up with your local news. Ouyang Xiu looked at Zhao Lei with a playful face and said.

"The Bianjing News cannot be limited to China, and if you have time, you can pay more attention to foreign affairs, such as Liao, Xixia, Tufan, and the affairs of the surrounding countries of the Great Song Dynasty, and the people also want to be able to see it." Zhao Lei pondered for a while and said carefully to Ouyang Xiu.

"Abroad, just kidding, how do we know about foreign things! Even if you hear something from businessmen from all over the world, you can't write it in the newspapers! Besides, when it comes to foreign affairs, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are in charge, and if you are not careful, you may be invited to tea by those guys, so I don't want to be charged with destroying the international situation of the Great Song Dynasty! Ouyang Xiu looked at Zhao Lei in surprise and said exaggeratedly.

In fact, there is a reason for Zhao Lei's words today, after all, he is ready to open up a farther market and sell various products of the Great Song Dynasty to Europe, Africa, and the Americas, but this requires the cooperation of those maritime merchants of the Great Song Dynasty.

But! These things will not be officially put on the agenda until after meeting Yuan Hao's concubine named Sophia and understanding the situation in Europe and other places, and it is too early to think about it now.

Sophia! What does the princess of this small European country look like? Zhao Lei's heart is now full of curiosity.
