Chen Fei soon sent the chicken pen and the so-called simplified Chinese font comparison table to Princess Wanchun's coachman back to Chang'an. Chen Fei didn't know what the bosses in Chang'an viewed these two things, but Cheng just hoped that they could pay attention to it. After all, simplified text and that chicken 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 intend to let the government operate it themselves, but only asked Princess Wanchun to be responsible for using the profits of the chicken farm to build this paper workshop and printing workshop. The reason why Chen Fei did not give the court to operate it personally was because Chen Fei knew the problem of this official enterprise. Judging from the so-called state-owned enterprises in later generations, it was enough to show that it would be better not to handle the general things officially. Chen Fei was even sure that if this papermaking method and movable type printing technology were brought to the central government, those officials would never use it to popularize culture, but instead used it to make profits.

As for the reasons, there may be many aspects. Those aristocratic families will definitely find ways to limit the popularity of papermaking and movable type printing from official means, so Chen Fei planned to let Princess Wanchun produce it as a private person. This way, without going through the government, that is, without going through the influence of those aristocratic families, and with the identity of Princess Wanchun as an "princess" who is both an official and a civilian, most people really have no choice. So if you hand it over to the central government, the pressure you have to bear in the end will be greater, that is, the direct influence of those officials from aristocratic families will not have the effect at that time. Never overestimate the integrity of these aristocratic families. Chen Fei understands this very well.

If you directly open this cheap papermaking workshop and book printing workshop by the people, it will not be easily curbed by others. After all, even officials cannot directly order others not to do business, right? If they directly use despicable means, they will offend the entire merchant class. Although the merchant class looks inferior to the landlord class, there are still three kilograms of nails. If you really offend the merchant class to death, you will definitely die miserably. Even, perhaps the official opinions are unstable. Not to mention anything else, Chen Fei is sure that Li Shimin will definitely support the spread of this cheap paper. After all, this will lead to a large number of poor scholars, and a large number of poor scholars can grow up to serve him, and then squeeze the gentry officials out of the officialdom.

"Mr. Chen County Magistrate, the farm tools you requested have been made halfway. Now we should send them to the people. The Chinese New Year will be in half a month. Should we deliver them to the people now, or will we just deliver them on the day of the Chinese New Year?" Yang Jiaxiang asked.

Chen Fei thought for a while and said, "I have undergone some improvements to this time, so I'd better send it now! If it's delivered late, it may delay the people's adaptation to these farm tools and also delay the farming time. If it's delivered now, people will have more time to adapt, so the time to replace new farm tools will be much less."

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

Chen Fei continued: "This time, I'll send it to me in person!"

Of course, Chen Fei would not miss this opportunity to win over the people. After all, the farm tools sent by himself by the county magistrate. This is obviously more meaningful. Although this method is not very clever in later generations, no one will be excited in later generations, but this was something that touched the people in ancient times. The head of a county sent them personally. This means that the government attaches importance to the people, so Chen Fei planned to bring people to deliver the farm tools himself. Now it has been half done, which is enough for many people to receive the farm tools.

"Friends, the county magistrate Chen in the county has sent us a New Year's gift. This is a rare good thing in the ages. The county has actually sent us a gift. Such a good government cares for us." The township shouted in front of the people.

"Long live the magistrate of Chen County! Long live the magistrate of Chen County!"

The people shouted one after another, obviously very excited.

"Why are they shouting long live?" Chen Fei said in panic. After all, in ancient times, only the emperor was qualified to shout long live!

Yang Jiaxiang also casually said, "Is there anything strange about this? The people are very happy, that is, they are very excited, so they shouted long live the Magistrate Chen!"

"But Long Live isn't it a word that the emperor can use for? " Chen Fei asked.

Yang Jiaxiang shook his head and said, "Where did you hear Chen County Magistrate? The word 'Long Live' is not used for the monarch! Many times, people can shout when they are excited, and even if the soldiers win a battle, they can shout long live the general. What's so strange about this? Even in the former Sui Dynasty, there was a famous general named Shi Wan Live, so the word Long Live is just a word to express excitement, and there is no taboo! Chen County Magistrate, why did you sweat on your forehead? Can you sweat in such a winter?"

"That's good, that's good! Chen Fei said in a cold sweat on his forehead.

Chen Fei was really scared by these people and sweated coldly. When he heard these people shouting for long live himself, he immediately realized that long live in ancient times was the emperor's special word. However, after listening to Yang Jiaxiang's explanation, Chen Fei realized that not all dynasties in ancient times prohibited the word long live. The Tang Dynasty should have not positioned the word long live as the emperor's special word, perhaps a later dynasty. Once the people are excited in this era, they can shout long live a certain official, and officials can accept it calmly, not worrying about any taboos.

Chen Fei took the initiative to come to everyone, obviously he had to take the initiative to distribute these farm tools. Of course, Chen Fei could not have distributed them personally without a family. After all, these were more than a thousand farm tools, and Chen Fei could not have issued them alone. So Chen Fei just sent some representatives. These were all selected by Zheng Baozheng, the farmers with good moral character and farming efforts and large grain production, only they are qualified to give freely Chen Fei to issue farm tools.

"Is it you? If I remember correctly, your name is Liu Gou'er. I have seen you before!" Chen Fei said.

Liu Gou'er immediately said: "Mr. Chen still remembers me, that's a great honor. Magistrate Chen, I'm sorry to spend money in the county this time and distribute farm tools to us. It's really great. Many of our farmers are old, so we can all have a good life. With these new farm tools, next year will definitely be a good harvest."
