Reincarnated as an Imperial Prince Chapter 14

Alexander just experienced the busiest day he had experienced in his life in this world. His schedule is packed. A lot of meetings to attend, speeches to be made, a resolution to be passed, and so on and so forth.

The council of ministers, which is primarily the advisory body of the Emperor in ruling the Ruthenia Empire was in an emergency session about a rough idea of the constitution he had in mind.

Since this is something out of his expertise, he needed counsel from the people who knew a lot about bureaucracy.

Alexander suggested that they adopt the same constitution as the Britannia Empire, a constitutional monarch but a king retains the power of the executive.

His councils of ministers were engaged in a long discussion amending and improvising the Britannian constitution to suit the Ruthenian Empire's needs.

In the end, they agreed to the creation of a new legislative body called the Imperial Parliament of the Ruthenia Empire. Each administrative division of the Ruthenia Empire will have a representative voted by the people within the realm regardless of age, sex, religion, and class. This will be a vital process that would ensure equality and justice for every Ruthenian citizen. The representative must be at least thirty years of age and pass a vetting process.

The new parliament will have the power to make laws, approve or veto bills, approve taxes and expenditures, approve treaties, issue declarations of war, check the work of the government, and others to be determined.

The Emperor of Ruthenia shall be head of the government and shall be commander-in-chief of the armed forces. He shall be responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws written by the Imperial Council. He shall have the power to oversee treaties and appoint members of his councils of ministers. appoint the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, appoint the members of the Supreme Court, and approve and veto bills passed by the Imperial Parliament.

The Judicial power of the Ruthenia Empire shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Imperial Council may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

After long hours of vetting the new constitution, the councils of ministers, along with the prime minister, and with the final decision of the emperor, everyone agreed on the new constitution.

After concluding the discussion about the constitution, Alexander proceeded to the rights of the Ruthenia people.

With this bill of rights, most of the petitions filed by the people would be complete. The only thing he needed to do is to ratify the new constitution, marking up the large political reform in the history of the Ruthenia Empire.

After deliberating with his councils of ministers, Alexander went on to speech, announcing the creation of the new legislative branch of the Ruthenia Empire and their most awaited proclamations.

His speech and announcement were broadcasted through radios and disseminated via newspapers. The citizens across the vast lands of the Ruthenia Empire were celebrating in the streets as they chanted the phrase: "Long live the Emperor! Long live Ruthenia!"

Alexander was feeling the warmth of his people via reports from the high officials of every region across the Empire.

With that settled, Alexander finally can move on to another phase, which will be modernizing the Ruthenia Empire.

The Ruthenia Empire is falling behind the rest of its neighbors in terms of infrastructure, military, and economy. In order to get Ruthenia back on the world stage, Alexander must put in every effort and resource to reinvigorate the Ruthenian Empire.

A huge endeavor requires a lot of peacetime, money, and patience. Although he already has a plan, he can't put himself into action after being bombarded by tasks and meetings, Alexander couldn't take it anymore and decided to take a nap.

The only thing that is left to do is to save Ana from tuberculosis. The fermentation would end in six days, he just need to wait for it to complete.

Six days has passed the fermentation was now complete. Alexander began the process of extraction and purification.

Streptomycin after the fermentation process is impure in form. Fortunately, this is the part where everything is basic and can be done within ten minutes.

As the streptomycin was in form of mycelium, Alexander has to separate it via filtration. Once it is complete, the streptomycin is recovered. However, this streptomycin is impure in form, so he has to purify it.

In purification, Alexander mixed the impure streptomycin with methanol and acetone as precipitating agents.

For about four or five minutes, the streptomycin will begin to precipitate in the bottom part of the test tubes. After settling, Alexander filtered the precipitate until it is free from the impurities.

Finally, Alexander was able to produce pure streptomycin.

He lifted the glass dish up and saw a white powdery substance. What he is holding right now is the first effective treatment for tuberculosis.

If this powder saved her life, he's gonna have a lot of explaining to do. No one would believe an imperial prince who loves to fool around and has no medical background miraculously produced a medicine against the most deadly disease.

Good thing that he had it documented in his mind. He is going to make the process and extraction as detailed as possible.

In one final step, he'll have to turn this powder into a liquid form. Streptomycin is administered intramuscularly, to do that, 1 gram of streptomycin is diluted with 1.8 ml of sterile water, producing 400 mg/ml of streptomycin solution, then add 0.9 percent of sodium chloride. With this, the medicine is ready for use.
