In the late Qing Dynasty, people thought that Hu Linyi's way of governing the country was above Zeng Guofan and Left. Li Ciming said that Hu Linyi "has rich experience and profound knowledge, and the candle shines forever, so as to strengthen the first-class people in ZTE", and said that "the cause of ZTE is based on Hu", while Shen Zhuoran thought that Hu should be ranked first in the revival of Tongzhi, pointing out that "the world knows the sages of Zeng and Zuo, but not before Zeng and Zuo." Politics, articles, economy, and military affairs, they learn everything and do everything they can. Moreover, he studied his life, not only sitting in Wuchang, but also sticking to it in order to seize the opportunity. In addition, he paid his salary in class and made the painting seamless, so that the army at that time did not suffer from hunger and kindness, and played the cause of ZTE. From this perspective, he was allowed to take the lead. That is to say, he is great in inspecting officials and people, promoting advantages and eliminating disadvantages, which is the French style of later generations. It can be seen that Hu Linyi is a compound talent who is good at civil and military affairs, understands economy and is good at governance.
