This is an era when publishing and printing are not subject to any legal constraints, and no one pays attention to intellectual property rights.

Although Han's popularity in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" made Han Jian take back the money invested in the printing, it did not bring him any greater economic benefits. The main reason is that when he realized that when he was about to print two more versions, the pirated and handwritten versions of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" outside were already popular and the market profits were diluted.

Pirates require typography or stereotypes, and illegal businessmen with funds need to do it. However, handwritten scripts are cheap to invest, and as long as they have a pair of hands and can write, that is enough.

Although Han Jian printed two versions later, the market was almost saturated. What's more, not only were illegal merchants "pirated" but also some great scholars who were proficient in history who did some shameless acts of "commentary books", commented on the historical allusions in Han's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from a historical perspective, and then published "Commentary of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Re-Commentary of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in a open manner. The market response was enthusiastic, which was easier to sell than Han Jian's original version of "Three Kingdoms".

In one or two years, "Three Kingdoms" had become popular throughout the Wei Dynasty, but the profit from Han Jian's hands was only the first published book.

The popularity of "Three Kingdoms" not only did not bring economic benefits to Han Jian, but also did not even bring any reputation. It was mainly because Han Jian was too "true" when he wrote the book and insisted on signing the name "Luo Guanzhong". Later, various commentary books were commentary books, and those who sought fame even claimed that they were "Luo Guanzhong", and signed their names on the title page of the commentary books. Han Jian was no longer surprised by these tricks.

Han Jian went from his initial depression to his gradual viewing, to the end he was just watching a show. Anyway, he wrote about the Three Kingdoms to play, and whether he could make money was second. The royal palace was not short of that. If he had more names, it would make the nobles in the capital pay attention, so he would be one step closer to death.

Only by being a playboy's little prince can he maintain his professional ethics.

At first, he was just a little unwilling to give up. Later, Han Jian was writing and painting with a paintbrush, and suddenly an idea was born in his mind.

"Damn. You guys play pirated with me, this time I will play something you can't afford to steal!"

Immediately, Han Jian found a charcoal pen and outlined the original version of the comic strip "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Time flies, and he only completed the first small part. He is ready to release a "serial" to attract long-term readers.

In order to make the reputation of comic strips a hit, he not only used the money from the previous publication of "Three Kingdoms" to acquire a printing shop, but also stereotyped it, but also named the printing shop "Three Kingdoms Bookstore" to find someone to promote it outside. Only comic strips printed by "Three Kingdoms Bookstore" are authentic and original.

After two months of preparation, the first episode of the new comic strip "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was officially released and launched.

Because there were no comic books in various dynasties before, and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" itself has accumulated a high popularity, the comic strips sold out as soon as they were launched. From the original Jiangdu City to some large and medium-sized cities in the north, there have been pirated comic strips. However, because the piracy of comic strips is difficult, Han Jian did very well in the initial preparations, which made his first version of comic strips make a lot of money.

The first episode of the comic strip "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is called "Taoyuan Evangelion". The main content is Liu, Guan and Zhang. The Taoyuan Evangelion is the main content. At the end of the first episode, the introduction of the second episode "Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing" is revealed. It can be said that it combines storylines and suspense.

Because the comic strip version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is full of pictures and texts, the content is different from the original "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It is less historical legends and more important than story development, which is more suitable for the tastes of ordinary people. After the first episode of the comic strip was launched, the people could not wait to see the second episode of the story after reading it many times. But a long time has passed, the comic strip of the second episode of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has not been released yet.

It was not Han Jian who deliberately wanted to please the people's appetite, but the huge workload involved was involved. He needed to do all the original paintings, typesettings, printing, publishing and distribution. Although Han Jian had a mature heart, he was still a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, who was willing but not enough. In order not to let the concubines at home find out that he was "doing random things" and "destroying the reputation of the prince's mansion" outside, he could only use the evening to draw the original paintings of the second episode.

At this time, around Jiangdu City, and even in many cities in the Wei Dynasty, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and comic strips were still long-lasting topics. Ordinary people could not wait for the second episode of comic strips, so they had to buy the original book and read it themselves. Those who were illiterate and keen on this trend would go to the teahouse to listen to the storytelling of "Three Kingdoms".

It was not until Han Jian was fourteen years old that the second episode of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" comic strip "Dong Zhuo Entering Beijing" was officially released, and it took more than half a year to go.

Although it took more than half a year to publish the second episode, readers' enthusiasm remains unabated. Although the "Three Kingdoms Bookstore" released thousands of books at the same time in dozens of book shops in the cities around Jiangdu, the comic strips were sold out in less than a day.

At this time, Han Jian gradually regained his "state". At the end of the second episode of the comic strip, in addition to the trailer for the next episode "Catching Cao", there is also a time to explain the release of the next episode.

Han Jian decided to publish an episode of the comic strip "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" every three months. This time will not make him very tired, and will keep the readers fresh. At the same time, three months will not make pirated copies popular, because even if a pirated merchant gets the original painting, it will take one or two months to prepare for stereotypes, printing, and distribution. By then, the next episode will be almost out, and the craze of the previous episode will have long passed.

The publication of the comic strip "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" earned Han Jian money and fame, although his fame only came from the "Three Kingdoms Bookstore".

Through his first money-making practice, Han Jian also learned about the social structure, human feelings and customs of the Wei Dynasty. He also met some figures from both officials and businessmen, appreciated the warmth and coldness of the world, and deepened his understanding of this strange world.

In a blink of an eye, the comic strip of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has also been released in episode 9, and Han Jian is already sixteen years old.

According to the laws and regulations of the Wei Dynasty to inherit hereditary titles, after a man was over 16 years old, he would accept the emperor's personal enthronement when he came to Beijing every two years. And a man who needed to inherit the title would also receive the ceremony of the crown in advance, take the land of one place, and govern the people of the other place.

Just after the first month of the second year of Zhongding in the Great Wei Dynasty, Han Jian, who was sixteen years old, was about to go to Luoyang, the capital to welcome his first long journey to this world.
