Chen Fei soon sent Princess Wanchun's coachman back to Chang'an about the quill and the so-called simplified and traditional font comparison table. Chen Fei didn't know what the bigwigs in Chang'an thought of these two things, but Cheng Ye just hoped that they would pay attention to it, after all, the simplification of words and the quill pen were very helpful for the people to learn culture. As for the method of making paper and movable type printing, Chen Fei did not plan to let the government operate and manage it himself, but just let Princess Wanchun be responsible for using the profits of the chicken farm to prepare for the construction of this papermaking workshop and printing workshop. The reason why Chen Fei didn't let the imperial court run it personally was because Chen Fei knew the problems of this kind of government-run enterprise. Judging from the situation of the so-called state-owned enterprises in later generations, it is enough to show that it is better not to handle ordinary things officially. Chen Fei was even sure that if this paper-making method and movable type printing had reached the central government, those officials would never use it to popularize culture, but to make profits.

As for the reasons for this, there may be many reasons. Those big families will definitely find a way to limit the popularity of this kind of papermaking and movable type printing from official means, so Chen Fei also plans to let Princess Wanchun produce it as a private person. In this way, without going through the government, that is, without the influence of those big families, coupled with the identity of Princess Wanchun, who is also an official and a "princess", ordinary people really have no choice. Therefore, if it is handed over to the central government, the pressure to bear in the end will be greater, that is, the direct influence of those officials from big families, at that time, it will not have the desired effect. Never overestimate the discipline of these big families, Chen Fei understands this very well.

And if you directly set up this cheap papermaking workshop and book-printing workshop in the people, it will not be easy to be curbed by others. After all, even if you are an official, you can't directly order that others can't do business, right? And if they directly use the next three indiscriminate means, it will offend the entire merchant class. The merchant class, though, looks inferior to the landlord class. But there are still three catties of nails in the rotten ship, and if it really offends the merchant class to death, it will definitely be a miserable death. Even, perhaps, the official opinion is still unstable. Not to mention anything else, Chen Fei is sure that Li Shimin will definitely support the spread of this cheap paper, after all, only in this way can a large number of poor scholars be produced, and a large number of poor scholars can grow up to serve him, and then squeeze the officials of the scholar clan out of the officialdom.

"Chen County Order, half of the farm tools you asked for have been built, and now we should send them to the people. The Chinese New Year will be more than half a month away. Are we going to send it to the people now, or are we going to send it on the day of the New Year? Yang Jiaxiang asked.

Chen Fei thought for a while and said, "I have improved the farm tools this time, so let's send them now!" If it is delivered late, it may delay the people's adaptation to these agricultural tools, and it will also delay the agricultural time. If it is sent now, the people will have more time to adapt, so there will be a lot less time to replace the new farm tools. ”

"The county order is wise!" Yang Jiaxiang said.

Chen Fei continued: "This time, I will personally send it!" ”

Of course, Chen Fei will not let go of this opportunity to win the hearts of the people, after all, the farm tools sent by his own county commander. This one obviously makes more sense. Although this method is not very clever in later generations, and no one will feel excited in later generations, this is an ancient thing, and it is a very touching thing for the people in ancient times. And the head of a county sent it personally. That means that the government attaches great importance to the people, so Chen Fei plans to personally bring someone to send this farm tool over. And now it's halfway there, enough for a lot of people to receive farm tools.

"Folks, the county magistrate in the county has sent us New Year's gifts. This is a rare good thing in the ages. The county actually sent us gifts, such a good government cares for us. Xiang Zheng shouted in front of the people.

"Long live Chen County Order! Long live the Chen County Order! ”

The people shouted, obviously very excited.

"Why do they shout hooray?" Chen Fei said in a panic. After all, in ancient times, shouting long live was only the emperor's qualifications!

Yang Jiaxiang also said casually: "Is there anything strange about this? The people were very happy, that is, very excited, so they shouted Long live the Chen County Order! ”

"But isn't long live a word that only emperors can use?" Chen Fei asked.

Yang Jiaxiang shook his head and said, "Where did you hear the Chen County Order, the word 'long live' is not exclusive to monarchs!" Many times the people can shout when they are excited, and even the soldiers can shout long live the Lord when they win the battle, what's so strange about this? Even if it is the former Sui, there is a famous general named Shi Wansui, so the word Banzai is just a word to express excitement, and there is nothing taboo! Chen County Ling, why are you sweating on your forehead, you can sweat in such a winter? ”

"That's good, that's good! Chen Fei touched the cold sweat on his forehead and said.

Chen Fei was really frightened into a cold sweat by these people, he heard these people shouting long live himself, and immediately realized that long live in ancient times was the emperor's special word. But after listening to Yang Jiaxiang's explanation, Chen Fei knew that not all dynasties in ancient times forbade the word long live. It should be that the Tang Dynasty has not positioned the word long live as a special word for the emperor, perhaps a later dynasty. In this era, once the people are excited, they can shout long live a certain official, and the officials can accept it calmly and will not worry about what has been taboo.

Chen Fei then took the initiative to walk in front of everyone, obviously taking the initiative to distribute these farm tools. Of course, it is impossible for Chen Fei to distribute them in person without a single family, after all, there are more than 1,000 pairs of farm tools, where can Chen Fei alone issue them. Therefore, Chen Fei just sent some representatives, and these are all peasant households with good moral character and hard work and large grain production selected by Zhengbaozheng in the countryside at the bottom, and only they are qualified to come to Chen Fei to personally issue agricultural tools.

"Is that you? If I'm not mistaken, you should be called Liu Gou'er, I've seen you before! Chen Fei said.

And Liu Gou'er immediately said: "Chen County Ling still remembers me, that's really my honor." Chen County order, this time trouble the county to break the fee and give us farm tools, it's really good. A lot of our farm furniture is old, so we can all live well. With these new farming tools, next year will definitely be a good harvest.
