I am not sure whether you are already aware of this: you can achieve
the same effect by setting the eshell-list-files-after-cd variable.

Also useful is the variable documentation:

"If non-nil, call "ls" with any remaining args after doing a cd.
This is provided for convenience, since the same effect is easily
achieved by adding a function to ‘eshell-directory-change-hook’ that
calls "ls" and references ‘eshell-last-arguments’."
