This time, Zhou Ping'an finally showed a solemn expression on his face.

He did not give an answer immediately, but frowned and thought for a while.

Li Chen was not in a hurry to urge him.

If you want the people below to do things and do good things, you must be patient.

Moreover, this matter is indeed difficult to deal with. To put it bluntly, let alone the Eastern Palace cannot come up with someone other than Zhou Ping'an who can handle this matter. Even if Li Chen goes by himself, it will be a big deal.

Why, in the feudal era or modern times, the imperial court rarely sent officials from the capital to airborne places, and every time people airborne places would cause some sensation?

Because the officialdom in any place will have its own political ecology.

When local officials face airborne officials, they will naturally join forces to fight the airborne officials in order to protect their own interests.

If everyone is in the same place, after working together for a long time, they know each other's roots and bottom lines, then they are all involved in each other's interests, and they will naturally be better at doing things and speaking better.

But if you airborne from the capital, it means that the local political ecological balance will definitely be broken, and no local official will like it.

Not to mention, Li Chen’s task to Zhou Ping'an was to let him control the Nanhe, and the time requirement was very short.

Although Li Chen did not say it clearly, with Zhou Ping'an's intelligence and intelligence, he also knew that this was very short, not a metaphor or an exaggeration, but a very short literally, so short that it might even be only a few days.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Ping'an said: "If Your Highness wants the minister to completely control the Nanhe River and make him obey the orders of the Eastern Palace and the court, it will take at least half a year."

Li Chen nodded, nothing wrong.

In fact, it is already an extremely terrifying thing for the governing place to fully control the place within half a year.

Ordinary governors may not even recognize their subordinates in half a year, let alone those magistrates, prefects, etc.

And who can be a provincial governor? Who is mediocre?

Everyone is the top figure in this era, and they will never be too stupid.

It is precisely because of this that we can see the terrifying aspects of Zhou Ping'an's ability.

"But half a year has definitely exceeded the limit allowed by His Highness, so I can only retreat to the second best. First, ensure that the Nanhe will not cause trouble when the important thing is, and second, guarantee that the Nanhe will not be able to do anything really.

It won't drag you down."

Li Chen said: "Then it's the same as the Xishan Province."

Zhou Ping'an said sincerely: "I am not a god, and I have no means to directly control people's hearts. This is already the limit of human power."

"How much time do you want?" Li Chen asked.

"Half a month."

Zhou Ping'an spoke without hesitation: "If Your Highness can transfer all the power of the Dongchang Jinyiwei in Nanhe, and give Weichen one million taels of silver, Weichen can shorten this time a little longer."

"The matters in the East Factory are easy to talk about. I let Chen go to help you."

Li Chen frowned and said, "It's just this million taels of silver, which is not easy to deal with."

God is sorry to see that what Li Chen lacks the most now is money.

Whether it is the court, the money house, or the construction of a school institution, it requires money.

These are still in the open. In the dark, Su Zhenting wants money to win over people. Do you want money? Raise those troops arranged in advance.

It can be said that Li Chen now spends astronomical expenses every day.
