Chapter 339 (2/2)

“Now our problem is how to promote this technology?” Looking at the materials copied by Sui Xiong, the Archbishop of the Void Mask Church, Leon frowned and said, “I took a look at this set of techniques. To be honest, it is very complicated. Without professional training, it is impossible for ordinary people to master it.”

“It’s mainly complicated in diagnosing. The identification, processing and artificial cultivation of drugs are not very difficult,” Sui Xiong, who had already read the full set of information, said. “I plan to set up another physician training class in Lanxiang Technical School to specialize in teaching this technology. But the medicinal herbs can’t be planted in the Void Mask Land. The climate here is not suitable.”

“I have a suggestion,” the mayor of Pyroxene Town, Felix, opened her mouth and said. “There are many kinds of medicine to treat diseases, and they need to be planted in different climates. It’s better to divide them into several places. Those that suit cold climate will be planted in Pyroxene Town, those that are suitable with the mountains will be planted on Geerteng Hill, and those that prefer plain areas will be planted in Garth. We can find an area around the southern Duchy of Thunder to plant those that prefer the warm climate. That will cover almost all kinds of medicinal herbs.”

Sui Xiong was persuaded and nodded. “I remember there was a noble who believed in me in the Duchy of Thunder, a baron, right?”

“Yes, that Baron was a little girl who was admitted to our church the previous winter before her brother took part in the Battle of Sun’s Death Day. Later, although his brother came back alive and took over the power of the Hill again, the title still remained with this little girl.” As the Archbishop of the Void Mask Church, Leon was clear about all the important things of the Church. “Not long ago, I sent Miramon, the Gourmet, to take over the priest there. According to Miramon’s report, he had a good relationship with the former Baron named Crick Keane. Planting medicinal herbs is also a good way to make money. I believe he will accept it.”

Sui Xiong nodded. “What about the other three places? Is there any problem?”

“Our Pyroxene Town is okay.” Felix laughed. “I have been worried about where to find sufficient financial resources.”

“There’s no problem with Geerteng Hill,” Olian said. “It’s not suitable to grow food in the mountains. But it’s convenient to arrange some people to grow herbs here.”

“We have to make some preparations in Garth City,” Lyon sighed softly. “These years, we have planted many bay leaves around Garth City. Considering the income gap, I have to communicate with an area that can’t produce high-quality bay leaves to persuade them to plant herbs.”

“Will they agree?” Sui Xiong asked.

“Of course. Between getting our friendship as well as physical, economic interests and offending us, even fools what choice to make.” Leon’s smile was full of confidence. “I just wanted to find a place as close as possible to plant herbs… Well, maybe we need to set up a small village specializing in herbal cultivation…”

“Then, how long will that take?” Sui Xiong asked.

Leon thought it over and said, “It will take about ten days to no more than a month to make sure everything starts!”

The problem of herbal cultivation had been solved, and the next step should be physician training. It was easier in theory than to cultivate herbs, but it was more troublesome to put it into practice.

Physicians should be literate and be able to understand several common dialects on the mainland. Otherwise, they would not be able to communicate effeciently with the patients.

They should be able to accurately identify medicinal herbs and diseases and have certain medical experience to ensure the efficacy. They’d better know how to use magic. When there were urgent illness, magic could work faster than any medicine.

Generally speaking, the requirements of physicians were still relatively high. They belonged to senior intellectuals in a real sense. If one selected trainees only among normal people, the first stage of training would take several years.

Sui Xiong did know that on the earth, a professional physician had to undergo at least six years of training!

Although the senior physicians on earth had much more to learn than the entry-level physicians he was training now, the physicians on earth were all excellent high school students. If they had come to this world, each of them would be enough to be a senior intellectual with a completely incomparable knowledge foundation.

They had discussed for a long time on the matter of physician training and finally decided not to recruit normal people for the time being. instead, they would select physicians from the low-ranking priests of the Void Mask Church. Sui Xiong would use his Divine Power to help them adjust their knowledge field and then directly send an avatar to teach them. It would take six months to one year to train the first batch of physicians.

As long as the first batch of physicians were trained and began to work, the churches of good gods would follow this pattern quickly. It might not be long before there would be a large number of priests who knew medical knowledge. Maybe in a few decades, medicine would become a compulsory course for priests of good gods.

Of course, they should not put all their hope on the churches of good gods. Even if they would not follow Sui Xiong’s pattern, the physicians of the Void Mask Church could also help in practical work and teach some good assistants. When these assistants had a certain foundation of medical knowledge, it would be time for them to further study in the physician’s school. That could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

As long as this pattern could be stabilized, maybe even without the help of other churches of good gods, it would only take two or three hundred years to popularize the profession of physicians by the power of Void Mask Church alone.

“All in all, you should be confident!” At the end of the meeting, Sui Xiong concluded. “There may be some difficulties ahead, but the future must be bright! For a long time, we have done a lot of things that others did not think we could do, but we have succeeded.

“This time, it won’t be an exception, either!”
