"As for the brush, this is indeed a difficult problem, and I don't have a good solution to it." Chen Fei said.
Chen Fei can improve both papermaking and printing, but the problem of this brush cannot be solved. Brushes are all made with small bamboo poles, some hair, and a skilled pen maker, so that a good brush can be made. And the bamboo pole is easy to solve, but the hair is not easy to solve. These wool are either wool, and there are not many sheep in the Central Plains, most of them are imported from the Turks, and the price is expensive. As for the wolf brush, this is made by using the weasel's tail hair, and the price is definitely not low. As for the pensmith, the wages for the production are not cheap. What's more, the brush is a consumable, and it will be damaged after a period of use, and you still need to buy a new one when the time comes, so isn't it to spend money again?
"In later generations, the breeding industry has developed, whether it is goats, sheep or sheep, it is also large-scale breeding. And those so-called weasels can also be artificially bred, so that whether it is a wolf or a sheep's brush, the price is extremely low. In later generations, mechanized production did not need a pensmith to process, so that the assembly line production reduced the cost. Therefore, the price of brushes in later generations has been very low, but the brushes of this era are expensive! Chen Fei continued to think.
Just when Chen Fei had a headache, a woman came over immediately.
"Chen County ordered, businessmen from other places came to transport our broiler chickens, and then officially traded. Let me ask in particular, do you want to go and see it? Wu Yun asked.
Chen Fei felt that his train of thought was suddenly interrupted, and then said: "I won't participate in this kind of thing, you can transport the broiler away!" As long as the money for broilers is not less, then it will be fine. ”
"Oh? Wait a minute. You said broiler just now? Chen Fei immediately asked again.
"Yes! Merchants from other places are coming to transport the broiler away, and I have come to ask Chen County to order you to see it yourself. After all, you are also the one who can get dividends. Wu Yun said.
Chen Fei suddenly slapped the table and said; "That's right! Why didn't I think that foreign devils just use chicken quills? ”
Chen Fei immediately went to the chicken farm, and then saw the out-of-town businessmen who were ready to buy these broiler chickens. And Chen Fei didn't pay attention to them at all, and came directly to the chicken coop. These broilers have changed from the state of small chicks two months ago to a fat broiler, and the only drawback of these broilers made by Chen Fei with new chicken raising technology is that they do not meet Chen Fei's appetite, they are too fat. But it doesn't matter. Chen Fei doesn't care about the mystery now, Chen Fei is just observing the chicken butt.
"Chen County Order, what are you doing here?" Wu Yun asked.
"Hehe, look at me!" Chen Fei said.
Chen Fei grabbed a chicken, and then plucked the feathers of his wings hard. The chicken trembled in pain, but Chen Fei had no mercy, after all, this time it was a major matter related to human reading.
"Well, it's not bad!" Chen Fei said.
"Chen County Order, what's not bad!" Wu Yun asked.
Chen Fei immediately said: "It's very simple. I'm going to use this chicken feather to make a pen. ”
Chen Fei went to find a sharp knife, and then cut a small bevel at the root of the chicken feather, revealing the feather core inside. Next, Chen Fei followed the method on the Internet and soaked it in warm water for about ten or twenty minutes. After that, the quill softened.
At the end of about half an hour, or an hour, the quill was dried again. Chen Fei took the ink that had been polished a long time ago and tried to dip it in the ink. Then start writing.
"Chen Fei"
Chen Fei wrote these two words with a chicken quill pen, and it turned out that the two words "Chen Fei" were really bad enough, and they were not as good as Chen Fei could write with an ordinary brush.
"Chen County Order. What are you doing with this quill pen? Do you write like that, do you write well? Wu Yun asked.
Chen Fei said happily: "Miss Wu, this is a good thing!" With a quill pen, it will be much easier for students to read in the future. With a quill pen, I'm afraid many students don't need to continue to purchase a quill pen, just use this quill directly. You see, the most important thing about this quill pen is saving. He himself is made of chicken feathers, the cost is extremely low, and the production process is very simple, I can make it as a layman. And he writes smaller, which means that he can save paper and make more words written on the same area of paper. As for this font, it is also thinner, which can save ink and make the ink last longer. So this quill has so many benefits, why don't you say we adopt it? ”
Chen Fei still thanked Wu Yun a little, if it weren't for what Wu Yun said about the broiler, Chen Fei wouldn't have thought of this chicken quill. This quill is a very good thing, and later generations of Westerners also used this quill pen. Although Chen Fei is not very keen on foreign devils, the chicken quill pen does belong to the invention of foreign devils, and this Chen Fei is undeniable. However, it does not prevent Chen Fei from using it, because the cost of Chinese brushes is high and the ink paper is wasted. The cost of chicken feathers is low, and now that Chen Fei has opened a chicken farm, he will also open chicken farms all over the country in the future, and the price of chicken feathers has been reduced countless times.
If you can use chicken feathers to make a pen, the cost is much cheaper. This is another good way to reduce the cost of education, after all, chicken feathers are not worth much. In ancient times, chicken feathers were also some garbage, and it was also troublesome to dispose of. So Chen Fei can also buy it at an extremely low price, and even Chen Fei is the one who runs a chicken farm, isn't it very simple to get some chicken feathers? Therefore, Chen Fei can even provide students with a quill pen for free, so that everyone can also use this quill pen.
As for the effect of the traditional brush, it can make the written words have a better artistry. However, Chen Fei has no objection to artistry, but he is not very supportive. Because in fact, popularizing culture for the people is more important than the artistry of the brush. Therefore, although the quill pen cannot write too artistic fonts, it can bring about a general improvement of culture, unlike a brush that can only write a few things that are appreciated by peers. The effect of this is very huge, and it can completely popularize the culture.
