"As for brushes, this is indeed a difficult problem, and I have no good solution to it," said Chen Fei.

Chen Fei can improve papermaking and printing techniques, but the problem of this brush cannot be solved. The brushes must be made with small bamboo poles and some hairs, plus a skilled pen maker, so that they can make a good brush. The bamboo poles are easy to solve, but the hair is difficult to solve. These hairs are either made of wool, and there are not many sheep in the Central Plains. Most of them have to be imported from the Turks and are expensive. As for the wolf hair brush, this is to use weasel tail hair to make, and the price is absolutely not low. As for the brush maker, the wages for making are not cheap. More importantly, the brush is a consumable and will be damaged after using it for a while. If you still need to buy a new one, then will it cost you again?

"In later generations, the breeding industry has developed. Whether it is goats, sheep or sheep, they are all farmed on a large scale. The so-called weasels can also be raised manually, so whether it is a wolf hair brush or a sheep hair brush, the price is extremely low. In later generations, mechanized production did not require pen makers to process it, which reduces the cost of assembly line production. Therefore, the price of brushes in later generations is already very low, but brushes in this era are expensive!" Chen Fei continued to think.

Just when Chen Fei had a headache, a woman came immediately.

"Mr. Chen, businessmen from other places are coming to transport our broilers away and then trade them officially. I would like to ask specifically, do you want to go and have a look?" Wu Yun asked.

Chen Fei felt that his thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and then said, "I won't participate in this kind of thing, just transport the broiler away! As long as the broiler has no less money, that's fine."

"Oh? Wait. Did you say the broiler just now?" Chen Fei immediately asked again.

"Yes! Foreign merchants are coming to transport the broiler away. I will ask you, Prince Chen, whether to go and see it in person. After all, you are also someone who can get dividends." Wu Yun said.

Chen Fei suddenly slapped the table and said, "Yes! Why didn't I think that the foreigners just use chicken pens?"

Chen Fei immediately came to the chicken farm and saw those foreign merchants who were preparing to purchase these broilers. Chen Fei ignored them at all and came directly into the chicken coop. These broilers had changed from the chick-like state two months ago to a fat and big broiler. The only disadvantage of these broilers made by Chen Fei using new chicken farming techniques is that they do not meet Chen Fei's appetite and are too fat. But this doesn't matter. Chen Fei doesn't care about the mystery now, and Chen Fei is just observing the butt of the chicken.

"Mr. Chen, what are you doing?" Wu Yun asked.

"Haha, look at me!" Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei grabbed a chicken and pulled it hard on his wings. The chicken was trembling in pain, but Chen Fei had no pity. After all, this time it was a major event related to human study.

"Well, it's really good!" Chen Fei said.

"Mr. Chen, what's not bad!" Wu Yun asked.

Chen Fei immediately said: "It's very simple. I want to use this chicken feather to make a pen."

Chen Fei went to find a sharp knife, then cut a small oblique mouth at the root of the chicken feathers, revealing the feather core inside. Next, Chen Fei soaked it in warm water for about ten or twenty minutes according to the method on the Internet. After that, the chicken feather brush softened.

After about half an hour, or an hour, the chicken pen was dried again. Chen Fei brought the ink that had been ground for a long time, tried to dip it ink and then started writing.

"Chen Fei"

Chen Fei wrote these two words with a chicken pen, but found that the two words "Chen Fei" were really bad enough. They were not as good as Chen Fei's writing with an ordinary brush.

"Mr. Chen County Magistrate. Why are you using this chicken pen? Are you writing well in this way?" Wu Yun asked.

Chen Fei said happily, "Ms. Wu, this is a good thing! With a chicken pen, it will be much easier for students to study in the future. With a chicken pen, I am afraid that many students don't need to continue purchasing a brush, just use this chicken pen directly. Look, the most important thing about this chicken pen is saving. It is made of chicken feathers, which is extremely cheap, and the production process is very simple. I, an outsider, can make it. The characters he writes are also small, and the small writing means that it can save paper and let more words be written on paper of the same area. As for the font, it is also thinner, which can save ink and make the ink last longer. So this chicken pen has so many benefits, why don't we use it?"

Chen Fei still thanked Wu Yun a little. If it weren't for Wu Yun's broiler, Chen Fei wouldn't have thought of this chicken pen. This chicken pen is a very good thing, and Westerners later used this kind of chicken pen. Although Chen Fei was not very enthusiastic about foreign devils, the chicken pen was indeed an invention of foreign devils, and Chen Fei could not deny it. However, it would not prevent Chen Fei from using it, because the cost of Chinese brushes is high and it was wasted ink and paper. The cost of chicken pens is low. Now Chen Fei has opened a chicken farm, and chicken farms will be opened throughout the country in the future, and the price of chicken feathers has been reduced countless times.

If you can use chicken feathers to make pens, the cost is much cheaper. This is another good way to reduce the cost of education. After all, chicken feathers are not valuable. In ancient times, chicken feathers were also some garbage, and it was troublesome to deal with them. So Chen Fei could also buy them at extremely low prices. Even Chen Fei was a person who opened a chicken farm. Isn’t it very easy to get some chicken feathers? So Chen Fei could even provide students with free chicken feathers, so that everyone could use this chicken feather.

As for the effect of traditional brushes, it can make the characters written have better artistic quality. However, Chen Fei is not opposed to artistic quality, but he is not very supportive. Because in fact, popularizing culture to the people is more important than artistic quality of brushes. Therefore, although the chicken brush cannot write too artistic fonts, it can bring about a widespread improvement in culture. It is not like the brush can only write a few things that each other appreciates within the peers. The effect this brings is very huge and can completely popularize culture.
