During the time when wars ran rampant, he advocated for the concept of westernisation in order to make China a world power, and stressed education and industrial advancement, by building many academies in the Hubei region to provide modern education, and constructing railroads for industries that left an indelible mark on later generations. However, his opinionated attitude ended up costing him a lot of funding during the Westernisation Movement.
