Having recently read and reviewed another transmigration into ancient times with ger, farming wealth, looking back on this one fills me with fondness.  That doesn't mean it was great.  Just comparatively... I liked it better.
The ML in this one is a massive, silly puppy and a bit of a pushover.  The MC will often blame him for things just to watch him get anxious and dote on him.  He calls it "adding spice to the relationship."  With how simple the ML is and how he never seems to realize it's just teasing, but is legitimately anxious and concerned, I personally see it more as bullying but luckily it's not super common.  Also, the ML's feelings will be static throughout the entire story.  He was told it's a husband's job to dote on and love his wife and so that's what he does, from the very beginning of the story to the end.  While you can see the shift in the MC's feelings from "this person is nice" to "I've decided to be with and love this person" you never get that from the ML and IMO, it feels like the ML is so simple that he loves him because he's his wife, not because of the MC himself.
Overall, this is just a really sweet, feel good story.  The MC quickly develops a really good relationship with the ML's family and while he builds up his businesses, it sticks to a realm he conceivably knows at first (cooking) and as he expands, he's careful to give opportunities to his fellow villagers, building them up with him.
The villains were a particular breed of stupid and I wondered a lot about the village dynamics that encouraged some of the events and I think there's something incredibly hand-wavy and authorial about the fact that the

MC made good friends with a ger prince who was in the right place and time to save him within just two days even though he'd supposedly returned to the capital due to his father's demands

but this really isn't a novel to think too hard about.
