As we have already said, by 1232 (1870) international contacts had greatly increased.

ယခင္ကျပဆုိခဲ့သည့္အတုိင္း နုိင္ငံျခားဆက္ဆံေရးတုိ႔သည္ ၁၂၃၂ ခုႏွစ္အတြင္း မ်ားစြာတုိးတက္လာသည္။

In this year the telegraph line between the Burmese capital and the British territory in Burma had almost been completed up to Mandalay.

ထုိႏွစ္တြင္ၿဗိတိသွ်ပုိင္ျမန္မာနယ္စပ္ေဒသမွျမန္မာဘုရင္မင္းျမတ္၏ေနျပည္ေတာ္မႏၱေလးၿမိဳ႕သုိ႔ေၾကးနန္း ဆက္သြယ္ရာ ၿပီးစီးလုနီးပါးျဖစ္ခဲ့သည္။

The relationship with the British was settled and plans for changes in the government of the Burmese kingdom now moved forward by stages.

အဂၤလိပ္ႏွင့္ဆက္ဆံေရးေျပျပစ္လာေသာအခါျမန္မာဘုရင္၏အုပ္ခ်ဳပ္ေရးစနစ္သည္တစ္ဆင့္တုိးတက္ ေျပာင္းလဲလာခဲ့ျပန္သည္။

In this year plans which later met with much criticism were made for the government that involved dividing the functions of the Parliament four sections.

ထုိႏွစ္တြင္ေနာင္ေသာအခါ၌ေဝပုံဌာနဟုတြင္လတၱံ႕ေသာလႊတ္ေတာ္ဝန္ႀကီးဌာနကုိေလးဌာနခြဲ၍ အုပ္ခ်ဳပ္ေရးစနစ္ကုိ ျပဳျပင္သည္။

These were first the hand work department (what is now known as the employment department) next the department of defence, covering all musketry, artillery and cavalry units, next the agricultural department and finally the Shweidaik (now known as the Royal Treasury).These sections were placed under the four ministers.

ထုိျပဳျပင္ခ်က္အရ ျပည္သူ႕လုပ္ငန္းဌာန၊ ေသနတ္၊အေျမာက္၊ ျမင္းအစုမ်ားပါဝင္ေသာ ကာကြယ္ေရး ဌာန၊ေရႊတုိက္ဌာနေခၚ ဘ႑ာေရးဌာနဟု ေလးဌာနခြဲ၍ ဝန္းႀကီးေလးဦးတုိ႔ကုိ အုပ္ခ်ဳပ္ေစသည္။

These departments were accommodated in four buildings inside the palace .

ထုိအုပ္ခ်ဳပ္ေရးေလးဌာနအတြက္နန္းေတာ္အတြင္း၌အေဆာက္အအုံေလးခုကုိတည္ေဆာက္သည္။

We must take another look at the system of government that was undergoing change from the beginning of King Mindon's reign.

ဤ၌မင္းတုန္းမင္းလက္ထက္မွအစျပဳ၍ေျပာင္းလဲလာေသာအုပ္ခ်ဳပ္ေရးစနစ္ကုိျပန္လည္စိစစ္ ျပလုိသည္။

Under this King, the officials and their leaders were working within the law to devolve upon themselves all the powers invested in the absolute monarchy.

ထုိမင္း၏လက္ထက္တြင္မွဴးႀကီးမတ္ရာ၊ေသနာပတိတုိ႔သည္အသက္ဦးဆံပုိင္ေသာဘုရင္မင္းျမတ္ထံ၌ တစ္လုံးတစ္ခဲတည္းတည္ရွိေနေသာအာဏာတုိ႔ကုိ မိမိထံသုိ႔ တစ္စတစ္စေရာက္ရန္ ဥပေဒတြင္း ႀကိဳးပမ္းမႈ မ်ားျပဳလုပ္လာၾကသည္။

Foreign relationships, in which the king would have special expertise, would by law be in his personal control under considerations of prudence.

နုိင္ငံျခားဆက္ဆံေရးတြင္အေတြ႔အႀကဳံမ်ားေသာမင္းႀကီးကုိယ္တုိင္ကလည္းတရားဥပေဒျဖင့္အုပ္ခ်ဳပ္ေသာ သေဘာတရားကုိ အတုိင္းအဆျဖင့္လုိက္ေလ်ာခဲ့သည္။

There was therefore a strong movement towards making changes by stages.

ထုိ႔ေၾကာင့္လည္းတစ္ဆင့္ၿပီးတစ္ဆင့္ျဖစ္ထြန္းလာေသာျပဳျပင္ေျပာင္းလဲေရးတုိ႔သည္လြန္စြာ အဆင္ေျပခဲ့၏။

The evidence for this is that right from the time when the King assumed the throne changes were made removing certain of the King's powers which were taken up by the Parliament for example the improved methods of tax collection and the system of ruling through four separate ministries among others.

သာဓကအားျဖင့္မင္းတရားႀကီးထီးနန္းသိမ္းပုိက္ေသာကာလမွစ၍အခြန္အေကာက္ခန္႔ခြဲေသာစနစ္ကုိ ျပဳျပင္ျခင္း၊ေလးဌာနခြဲ၍စီရင္အုပ္ခ်ဳပ္ျခင္းစသည့္အျခင္းအရာတုိ႔သည္ဘုရင့္အာဏာအခ်ိဳ႕ကုိ လႊတ္ေတာ္ကသိမ္းပုိက္လုိက္သည့္အေျပာင္းအလဲပင္ျဖစ္သည္။

To see how far these changes went we have to say that in the matter of King Mindon's appointment of the Thonzel, Methkaræ and Nyaungyan Princes as governor, the appointment made without the agreement of the Parliament (council of ministers in the time of Myanmar King) were only effective until the Princes were arrested and placed in confinement. This is ideology of government system, come to change.

ဤအေျပာင္းအလဲတုိ႔သည္ မည္မွ်ထိေရာက္သနည္းဟုဆုိလွ်င္ မင္းတုန္းမင္းကသုံးဆယ္မင္းသား၊ မကၡရာမင္းသား၊ေညာင္ရမ္းမင္းသားတုိ႔ကုိဘုရင္ခံခန္႔သည့္ကိစၥ၌လႊတ္ေတာ္ကသေဘာတူညီခ်က္ မေပးသည့္အျပင္ ထုိမင္းသားတုိ႔ကုိ ဖမ္းဆီးခ်ဳပ္ ေႏွာင္နုိင္ခဲ့သည္အထိ ထိေရာက္သည္ဟုဆုိရန္ရွိ၏။ ဤကားေျပာင္းလဲလာေသာ အုပ္ခ်ဳပ္ေရးသေဘာတည္း။
