<p>The easiest being a timeless demiplane. The specifics will depend on how you interpret certain effects on spells that are not normally permanent. </p>
<p>Sadly, Unseen servants only exist while within range, but as long as the caster is around you're good to go. You can have real casters or simulacra (effectively immortal/permanent as long as they stay in the demiplane) as servants. Even caster level 1 is sufficient for this purpose. Over time they could each have a swarm of unseen servants at their command. Smart money is on using low level simulacra of yourself. It cuts down on the possibility of having them turn against you. Plus at 1HD they're cost is negligible and you can use them as body doubles. </p>
<p>You could also have non-magic servants with minor magic items. Unseen servant + prestidigitation at will broaches are probably very popular among the absurdly wealthy magical gentry. One maid with such a broach could take care of the work of a small army of maids. </p>
<p>Alternately you can make a wondrous item/trap of unseen servant to handle specific repetitive tasks. An enchanted floor tile that keeps the X feet around it dusted.</p>
<p>Twine double: similar to simulacra, but I dont believe they get spells. However, it does have the added bonus of throwing off scrying if that's a concern for you and you decided not to block that from your demiplane. </p>
<p>Summon monster (all levels): permanent planar servants. There's some interpretation here, but it works on paper. Hypothetically someone in some planar hierarchy will take notice if you trap a bunch of their powerful entities, but as that's up to the DM. On paper it works. </p>
<p>There are more, but you get the gist.</p>There's a few easy solution to staffing a demiplane.

I would like to find a rule that convince them about it but i'm not getting luck on this.

A lich with 1k age that just eating and washing himself don't decay cause is magic.

<p>In addition, one of the rules will be that no one can have spells higher than sixth level at the start of the game.
