Chapter 233: Medical Ethics
"All witch doctor apprentices, come to the stage."
Jiang Xuan waved to the audience, and the witch doctor apprentices walked up to the stage step by step with great excitement.
Jiang Xuan and Chishao stood on the side of the platform, and the ten witch doctor apprentices stood in two rows, facing all the members of the Teng tribe. Everyone was extremely nervous. This was an experience they had never had before.
Jiang Xuan took out ten bronze badges from the animal skin bag.
The bronze badge looks like a herb on the front, and the two ancient words "witch doctor" are engraved in witch language on the back.
Jiang Xuan picked up a bronze badge and said to the witch doctor apprentices, "I specially asked the people in the smelting workshop to forge this badge. Wearing it means that you have transformed from witch doctor apprentices to real witch doctors!"
Those witch doctor apprentices stared at the bronze badge in Jiang Xuan's hand, with strong desire in their eyes.
Witch medicine was once the exclusive medical skill of witches and was extremely sacred in the eyes of the tribesmen.
Now that they have learned this sacred witchcraft art, they are destined to become the objects of admiration and envy of their fellow tribesmen.
Not to mention the various benefits of being a witch doctor, this honor alone is enough to make them proud.
Jiang Xuan saw the desire in their eyes, but did not give them the badges immediately.
Jiang Xuan held up the badge for everyone to see.
"The badge represents the honor of a witch doctor, but it also represents a heavy responsibility. What I want to tell you is that as a witch doctor, you must have medical ethics."
"What is medical ethics? The most basic medical ethics is that when you see someone injured or sick, the first thought in your mind is to try your best to treat him, rather than linking it to profit!"
Jiang Xuan's eyes became sharper: "If someone becomes a witch doctor purely to earn knife coins, purely for profit, then he is not qualified to wear this badge!"
Under Jiang Xuan's sharp gaze, those witch doctor apprentices lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly into Jiang Xuan's eyes.
"The specific medical ethics that witch doctors should abide by will be written down in witchcraft and hung on the wall. You must always keep these medical ethics in mind. If you violate them, you will be severely punished!"
Jiang Xuan knew very well that in any industry, as long as there were a large number of people, there would inevitably be some scum with bad character mixed in. This was unavoidable.
All he could do was to use the system to restrain them, use punishment to deter them, and make these scums restrain themselves and not dare to do anything excessive.
At the same time, he also knew that whether it was a witch doctor or any other profession, there must be compensation, and it cannot be too low.
If we want the profession of witch doctor to develop healthily and in the long term, we cannot just talk to practitioners about dreams and ethics, but we must ensure that they have what they need for a normal life.
Only in this way will more people join the ranks of witch doctors and treat illnesses and injuries for all members of the Teng tribe.
"I won't say anything more. I'll start awarding witch doctor badges now!"
Jiang Xuan handed the badge to Chishao, who presented it to him.
Chishao took the badge and personally put it on the chests of the ten witch doctor apprentices one by one.
In the sunlight, these golden witch doctor badges shine brightly and are very dazzling.
After putting on the red peony root, he solemnly announced: "From today on, you are witch doctors, responsible for curing diseases and injuries for the tribe members."
Chishao's eyes swept across everyone's face, paused, and said, "Don't let the tribe down."
The ten new witch doctors nodded one after another. At this moment, they were full of confidence and everyone was full of fighting spirit.
Chishao stepped aside, and the new witch doctors also stepped down from the platform.
Jiang Xuan stood in the center of the platform and said to all the tribesmen: "I declare that the Witch Hospital is officially established!"
"good!"
The members of the Teng tribe below cheered, because the witch hospital was related to everyone's life safety.
With the witch hospital, sick and injured people can receive timely treatment without delaying their treatment.
Jiang Xuan walked down from the high platform, the door of the witch hospital opened, and ten new witch doctors sat in the house and officially began to treat the tribesmen.
Those injured and sick tribesmen rushed into the yard, making it very lively.
Jiang Xuan walked over to the old witch standing outside the yard and asked with a smile, "Old witch, why don't you go in? Those apprentices have just become witch doctors. It's inevitable that they will be nervous when they see patients for the first time. If you are by their side, they will definitely feel more at ease."
The old witch waved her hand and said, "Just let Chishao go in."
The old witch looked at the sign on the door of the witch hospital again and said, "Many tribes have the problem of too many witches to handle everything, but only your Teng tribe has established a witch hospital."
Jiang Xuan said: "It's probably because other tribes don't dare to teach witchcraft to ordinary people. Our Teng tribe is not afraid."
Most witches in tribes hold all kinds of skills in their hands to maintain their superior status.
Therefore, even if they are so tired that they vomit blood, they have no choice but to continue working.
Even the old witch gradually came to terms with his situation and became willing to teach his witchcraft skills to others only after he resigned from his position as the witch of the Eagle Tribe and came to the Southern Wilderness.
If the old witch has not stepped down yet, even if he wants to teach witchcraft, he will have many concerns and dare not do it rashly.
The old witch looked at Jiang Xuan with a complicated look: "Xuan, sometimes I have to admire your courage."
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Fear is the greatest of all enemies."
"That's right."
The old witch sighed again, Jiang Xuan was really special. What would it be like if the Eagle Tribe had such a leader? Of course, he was just thinking about it.
In the witch hospital, the new witch doctors were busy treating the tribesmen.
Although they had studied under Chishao for a long time and usually helped treat the tribe members, this was the first time they treated patients on their own.
Fortunately, Chishao asked them to grind various medicinal powders in advance, both for treating diseases and healing injuries. Although they were a little hectic, their performance was still relatively stable.
They were busy from morning until dark, and only then did they finish their work for the day.
When the door of the witch hospital was closed, the ten witch doctors were so exhausted that they half-lay on their chairs, not wanting to move at all.
Chishao looked normal, and was helping to pack up the medicine.
One witch doctor couldn't help but ask: "Witch, aren't you tired?"
Chishao turned around and said calmly, "I'm used to it."
When the witch doctor heard this, he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
The ten of them were so exhausted. How busy would Chishao be alone? Although there were so many people today because the witch hospital had just opened, if there was a tribal war or other accidents, the number of injured people would not be less than today.
At this moment, these witch doctors respected Chishao even more.
They looked at each other, then stood up with their tired bodies and worked with Chishao.
Otherwise, what would it look like if they were resting while the witches who worked harder than them were working hard? ...
On October 13, after several days of cold wind, it finally started snowing.
The snowflakes falling from the sky look like balls of white marshmallows.
To the north of the Vine Tribe, Jiang Xuan, wearing a thick animal skin coat, walked through the door in the vine wall and entered the place where the prisoners were held.
A tall vine wall isolates a forest from the outside world. More than a thousand captives from the Wild Boar Tribe have been working here for several months.
Today's forests have changed a lot.
Neat rows of wooden houses are located in the center of the forest, and around them are pieces of newly reclaimed wasteland.
It is worth mentioning that Jiang Xuan did not let them cut down all the trees.
In areas that are not suitable for cultivation and in residential areas, many large trees have not been moved, retaining some greenness for the land.
Jiang Xuan walked on this land in the wind and snow, accompanied by Cangli, the leader of the second guard team.
"How have these prisoners been behaving lately?"
"It's much better than when we first started. Before, when we asked them to work, some prisoners would resist. Now, when we ask them to work, most of them are more active."
Xanthium's words were very plain, but Jiang Xuan understood that a lot of tricks must have been used during this period. For example, those who resisted working were likely to become fertilizer for the tree man.
However, Jiang Xuan didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. To survive in this dangerous world, one had to adapt to such cruel rules.
Jiang Xuan said again: "Call everyone out and gather in the open space."
Cangli waved his hand to the rear, and dozens of guards immediately ran over.
"The leader has ordered all prisoners to gather in the open space."
"yes!"
The guards ran towards the wooden house where the prisoners lived and knocked open the doors one by one.
“Boom boom boom…”
"Come out, all of you!"
One door after another was opened, and the prisoners wearing tattered animal skins lined up and walked out of the house.
The cold wind made many people shiver, but no one dared to complain.
Soon, more than a thousand prisoners were standing in a line on the snow. Many of them had no shoes on their feet, which were cracked from the cold.
"Chief, all the prisoners are here."
Jiang Xuan nodded and looked at the captives who were in tattered clothes and shivering with cold.
"Are you cold?" Jiang Xuan asked loudly.
The prisoners didn't even dare to raise their heads or speak. They just kept their heads down and let the snow fall on their bodies. They were so cold that their teeth were chattering.
"I know you are cold, and I also know that most people are secretly cursing me in their hearts right now."
"It's okay, I don't care!"
"I just hope you understand that if the Wild Boar Tribe hadn't invaded, you wouldn't have been captured, and you wouldn't have ended up like this!"
"Ask yourselves, if the Wild Boar Tribe had won the battle, how would you have treated the people of the Vine Tribe?"
The captives from the Wild Boar Tribe became even more silent. Given the ferocious character of the Wild Boar Tribe, if they really defeated the Vine Tribe, they would probably be countless times more cruel than the current Vine Tribe.
Jiang Xuan added: "However, the Teng Tribe is tolerant. As long as you are willing to give up your previous beliefs and be loyal to the Teng Tribe, the Teng Tribe will accept you!"
"Now, I will select twenty people from among you to be team leaders. Each of the selected people will be rewarded with a set of animal leather clothes, a pair of animal leather boots, and ten kilograms of dried animal meat. In the future, they can also be given priority to join the Teng Tribe!"
Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, all the captives' eyes lit up.
In this kind of weather, having animal skin clothes and boots to wear and dried animal meat to eat would be the greatest happiness for them.
Jiang Xuan nodded to Cangli, and then began to select people.
Cangli has been here for a long time and is relatively familiar with the captives.
He knew clearly which captives worked harder, which were lazier, and which were the least resistant to the Teng Tribe.
When Jiang Xuan started to select people, Cangli was whispering to Jiang Xuan about the situation of the captives and pointing out the candidates he thought were most suitable.
Relying on his own eyesight and Cangli's detailed explanation, Jiang Xuan selected twenty prisoners one by one and stood them in front.
Jiang Xuan looked at the twenty team leaders and said, "From today on, I will assign fifty prisoners to each of you. I only require one thing, and that is to make everyone work hard!"
"As long as you manage the people well and do your job well, when the ice and snow melt, I will reward each of you with a separate wooden house, as well as the opportunity to escape from being a prisoner and join the Teng Tribe!"
Jiang Xuan's words made all the team leaders' eyes light up.
A bunch of people crowded in a wooden house and owning a wooden house all by yourself are two completely different lives.
Moreover, everyone lives together in a crowded place, and it is a privilege for the team leader to live in a wooden house alone.
Who doesn’t want privilege? Just then, Fuling, the owner of the clothing workshop, brought a few female warriors and brought over some animal-skin coats and boots.
The soldier in charge of the food warehouse also delivered 200 kilograms of dried meat.
Jiang Xuan nodded to them: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, Chief. Do you need us to move anything else?"
Fuling and the other warriors all had smiles on their faces. Except for the leader, other tribesmen would not say such heartwarming words.
"It's not needed for now. It's cold outside. You guys should go back first."
"Okay, let's go back first."
Fuling turned around and left with the soldiers, leaving several footprints on the snow.
Jiang Xuan patted the pile of animal skins and said, "Did you see that? This is your first reward. If you do well in the future, there will be more rewards!"
The twenty team leaders were so stunned when they saw so many things.
Whether it is animal skin clothes and boots for keeping warm, or those tempting dried meats, they are all things they urgently need.
The more than one thousand prisoners at the back also had longing looks in their eyes. They were still wearing tattered animal skins, without even shoes, and were shivering with cold.
Unfortunately, these things cannot be given to everyone.
Jiang Xuan said: "Now, line up one by one and come to receive the orders. Do not run around. If anyone runs around, the team leader's status will be revoked immediately and someone else will take over."
Jiang Xuan's words immediately made the team leaders nervous.
Good things are right in front of you, you must not lose them!
They lined up obediently, and then went up one by one to receive the meat. Those who received the meat immediately put on their warm animal skin clothes and boots, and stuffed the jerky into their mouths to chew...
After distributing the things, Jiang Xuan asked the guards to divide the prisoners into groups of fifty, with each team leader leading a group.
The excess number of people will be randomly assigned to the groups.
After all this was done, the captives no longer had to stand in the snow and ice, and were taken back to the wooden cabin by twenty team leaders.
After all the captives returned, Cangli couldn't help but ask Jiang Xuan: "Chief, why did you give them so many things?"
Jiang Xuan said calmly: "If we don't give them anything, how can we make those team leaders feel that they are different from ordinary prisoners?"
"As long as these team leaders have certain privileges, in order to maintain their privileges, they will spontaneously manage the prisoners, even more strictly and harshly than the guards."
After listening to this, Cangli was full of admiration for Jiang Xuan's brilliant management methods.
