With the unification of the country and the stability of the society,the cultivated land area of Song Dynasty gradually recovered and expanded.In addition to food crops,the cultivation of economic crops was also widely promoted.At the same time,the development of the bazaar around the city and the continuous flow of rural population to the City made the urban population increase rapidly,and the demand for commodities increased constantly.So the businessmen in Song Dynasty used convenient water transportation and Other modes of transportation transported all kinds of agricultural products and commodities based on them to cities,and the commerce of Song Dynasty was increasingly prosperous.Under the premise of the rapid development of commodity economy,in order to seek more benefits,the business methods of businessmen are also constantly enriched.Businessmen's business mode refers to the way used by businessmen in their business activities.Buying and selling goods are two very important business activities of businessmen in the Song Dynasty.In these two activities,they will respectively use the business modes of Ruzhong and Maipu,buying on credit,wholesale,retail,monopoly and so on.These business modes have their own characteristics.The business modes of Ruzhong,Maipu,monopolizing and wholesaling have higher requirements on the capital of merchants,so most of these business are millionaire;in addition,Ruzhong and Maipu are the trade between merchants and the government.The changes of economic policies and the government's extortion will have an impact on the business operation of merchants,with greater risks.The characteristics of wholesale trade are large volume and large amount of trade.In addition,as a special form of merchants' wholesale of goods to the government,it is often mandatory to"Ruzhong".The advantage of wholesale lies in that the merchants sell the goods at a price lower than zero and share the profits with "small merchants".Buying on credit is a very popular way of business in Song Dynasty.It is characterized by "asking for payment after year".The advantage lies in that when merchants buy goods from suppliers or government,they do not need to pay for the goods immediately,but settle accounts and add some interest after selling some goods,mutual aid,mutual benefit and reciprocity.Retail is a very flexible way of business,it does not require high capital,so there is a big gap in the scale of retail business.In addition,the channels for retailers to obtain goods are rich,and the business strategy is also very variable.
