A simple hadronic transport model is proposed for studying the rescattering effect of the pion on the [ital K]/[pi] ratio in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions. The experimental evidences of evolutionary increase of the [ital K]/[pi] ratio from [ital p]+[ital p] to [ital p]+Au and to Si+Au at similar incident energy per nucleon are reproduced reasonably. Experimental results of the [ital K]/[pi] ratio at CERN energy (200 GeV/nucleon [ital p]+[ital W] and [ital S]+[ital W]) comparable with corresponding results at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron energy (14.6 GeV/nucleon [ital p]+Au and Si+Au) are reproduced as well.
