Build stone knives en masse. Collect a few hundred sticks, go to the next cave and mine stones to build tons of stone knives. In winter you can collect so many stones everywhere because you can spot them all in the snow. You can sell these knives for a good price. At the start of a new game this is what i do for money and noticed that i learn fast enough by crafting hundreds of stone knives till i got the mine for iron (iron arrows to make money).

Keep in mind that npc's help with gathering technology, so fastest way is always a combination of your and their effort

i make stone knives or small baskets, collected like 1k sticks and just went nuts XD made a few K to invest in other fields

There is always the guide when you want specific informations like this:

And for the production technology in particular (from the guide):

Knives (in all tiers) are pretty good since they cost relatively little materials and give plenty of points.
If you are mining for copper and tin, bronze and copper knives are better than stone ones it terms of points

If you are farming a lot of flax and/or have a lot of leather/fur from hunting (both yours and your hunters) then sewing is never a bad idea either and it gets you quite a bit of money from selling the products too.

Cooking gives less points compared to smithing and sewing but since your villagers and yourself are constantly consuming food then having a worker cooking food all year (preferably not roasted meat but better dishes) gives you a decent amount of points as well.


And never forget random quests, not all of them reward you with technology points but those that do give you pretty decent amounts.
