After transmigrating to the Tang dynasty with a Heavenly Workshop, Lu Xuan only wants to live happily outside the city as a horseshoe maker.
With his expert skills at trimming hooves, removing rot, and fitting iron shoes, he brings the stress-relieving "warhorse manicure" videos from short-video apps straight to the Tang dynasty!
The famed steed that Li Shimin's men had nursed for three years is fixed up with two passes of his rasp and gallops like the wind. The assembled court officials are left gaping in shock!
Li Er's eyes turn bloodshot. He kicks open the blacksmith shop's door in the middle of the night: "Dear son-in-law, fit every one of my Tang cavalry's horses with iron shoes!"
The aristocratic clans cut off the supply of pig iron and charcoal? Lu Xuan counters with a coke-fueled blast furnace, forging hundreds of refined Mo Dao blades and crashing the price of iron across Guandong!
The Turkic cavalry rides south through the snow? Self-locking, anti-slip iron claws and winch-powered crossbows annihilate Jieli Khan on the snowy plains!
The Tibetan embassy brings fake gold and demands to marry Changle? Lu Xuan boils stinking wool in a huge pot right in the street, then launches an economic war with water-powered looms, shearing the entire snowy plateau bare!
Li Er begs and pleads to send Changle to Lu Xuan's estate: "Good son-in-law, is there anything in this world you can't make with your own hands?!"
Lu Xuan: "Don't get familiar with me, Old Li. First settle the blast furnace bill you owe the Ink Workshop. Changle is chasing you for payment!"
Watch the Tang dynasty's first royal son-in-law use hard-core engineering to grind the emperor of all ages and the aristocratic clans into the dirt!
That's so pretentious, thinking he's some kind of genius. 🤦
