陳寶箴、趙爾巽先後撫湘，設礦局及公司，採平江金礦、常寧水口山鉛礦，至今稱厚利，皆其謀也。 When Chen Baozhen and Zhao Erxun governed Hunan in turn, they set up mining offices and companies and opened the Pingjiang gold mines and Changning Shuikoushan lead mines—still regarded as highly profitable—all on his advice.

明年，爾巽檄綜湖南營務處，統忠字旗五營。 The following year Erxun put him in charge of the Hunan camp affairs office and five battalions of the Zhong Banner.

再至湖北，爾巽留綜營務處，兼統全省防軍，荊襄水師受節度。 He returned to Hubei; Erxun kept him at the camp affairs office, put him in command of the provincial defense forces, and placed the Jing-Xiang naval force under his orders.
