Many achievements of Jiang Pu are recorded in historical books. Jiang Pu advocated silk industry when he was governor of Hunan Province. Before that, Hunan did not know how to raise silkworms. When Jiang Pu arrived, there were wild silkworms making cocoons on the trees all over Changsha. They were as big as chicken eggs, but no one used them. Jiang Pu asked people to use these cocoons to draw silk, each cocoon can draw several baht of silk (the ancient weight unit of 24 baht is one or two). Therefore, Jiang Pu ordered the local people to collect and teach them how to raise silkworms and practice silk. The next year, the local silk industry prospered, promoting the development of the local economy.

At that time, there was a lack of standard currency (i.e. "money making") in Hunan Province, and the phenomenon of private coin making was very serious. The coins were thin and small, and the weight was insufficient, so the government strictly prohibited them. Jiang Pu noticed that the valleys of Chenzhou and Yongzhou were rich in copper. He asked people to take samples and found that they could refine copper. So he went up to court to approve, set up a furnace to start, and cast copper coins. At the same time, he also sent people to buy surplus copper from Guizhou, Guangdong and other provinces and store it in large quantities in case of shortage. After a large number of copper coins were cast, he allocated them to various departments according to the actual expenses incurred, and the rest were sold in the market. The non-standard small money commonly used in the local market is also replaced with official money, which is returned to the furnace for unified casting. In this way, the trend of making money privately will naturally stop.

Wenzhou by Dongting Lake used to be owned by the government. However, as time went on, the families of local forces scrambled to seize the private property, which was used to grow water bamboo and raise fish. The profits were very rich, so disputes often occurred.

He stipulated that taxes would be levied three years later, and then the dispute gradually ceased.

The emperor ordered the retention of 400000 stones of rice in Jiangsu Province. In addition, silver was allocated for relief in the autumn of this year.

Before long, Jiang Pu was also the Secretary of the Ministry of rites, the assistant of the bachelor, and the director of the Imperial Academy.
