"The Xishan Province has suffered the most disasters in the past two years, with starvation everywhere. In severe cases, it can be said that there are no ten villages left. The number of household registrations in the whole province is more than half. This is one of them."

"The officialdom of the entire Xishan Province can be said to be terrible. When you were in the past, I couldn't help you too much. Even the branch of the East Factory has been destroyed and rebuilt, so it will take time.

You can say that you are alone and have obstacles everywhere, this is the second one."

"Now, in the Xishan Province, there are not only problems with the officialdom and the people. There are serious rebellions there, and the rebels are stronger than the officers and soldiers. Although the rebels can also arrange personnel to deal with them, you are the newly appointed one.

The governor must bear great pressure, and they may even want to get rid of you and get out of here, and you may die. This is the third one."

"Except for this palace, almost no one in the court hopes that you can succeed, so the pressure from all aspects will be very high. Once there is any mistake, it may be infinitely amplified. They also hope that you will die because you fail.

Then, you have to pay the price, and your price is your head, and the price of this house is the loss of prestige, which is the fourth one."

Li Chen said, "There are four things in this way. Any smart person will find a way to refuse this appointment. I can also promise you. If you refuse, I will not make things difficult for you, but can find a place in the capital.

I will do my leisurely errands for you, and you will have a last chance to think about it.”

Li Chen's words came to Zhao Heshan's ears, but his expression did not change at all.

After Li Chen finished speaking, he said seriously: "I have already figured it out. I am still going, but I have a request."

"Tell me." Li Chen said.

"I hope that Your Highness can grant me the right to behead first and then report, as well as the right to appoint official positions in the entire Xishan Province."

Generally speaking, as the provincial governor, Zhao Heshan's power limit is to elect and appoint county-level officials within the jurisdiction and some staff members around the governor.

Once he reaches the level of a prefect, he must be assessed, dispatched, and appointed by the court. Zhao Heshan has no right to inquire about it.

Therefore, the power that Zhao Heshan wants is very great, and it can almost be said to have taken all the personnel power of the entire Xishan Province.

Normally, this power cannot be given to people.

But now, it is an extraordinary period.

Li Chen pondered for a moment, and he said, "Have you thought it through? I can give it to you with such a great power, but if I can't manage the Xishan Province well..."

"I would like to come and see you!" Zhao Heshan was strong and powerful.

Nodded, Li Chen said, "You go down and prepare to take up your new job. You will set off in the next few days."

Zhao Heshan respectfully knocked his head to the ground and said, "I'm going to leave."

After saying that, Zhao Heshan stood up, kept his bowing posture, and slowly retreated from Xizheng Hall facing Li Chen.

After Zhao Heshan left, Li Chen slowly stroked the stove in his hand and said, "He is an ambitious person."

The eunuch of Sanbao came up to pour tea for Li Chen, and then echoed: "If you have no ambition, you will probably not be able to do anything. I see that Zhao Heshan is indeed a good person."

Li Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "There are not many people who can make you praise them."

Sanbao bowed slightly in a flattering manner and said, "I don't understand either, but he can win the favor of His Highness, so he naturally has some ability."

With a sneer, Li Chen said: "So do you know what would happen to me if he refused this position just now?"

Sanbao was stunned for a moment, wanting to say he didn't know, but when he saw Li Chen's eyes were interesting, he immediately abandoned this clever choice. He said, "Will your Highness kill him? Hengshu is a useless and ungrateful person, since he doesn't
