The laborers are all already a military force, there is no conscription or equipping or anything like that required.This is a bit like how every level 2 ranger can feed 20 people per day with effectively zero labor. The magic system in 5e completely breaks any kind of economy modeled after anything we've seen in the real world. High magic worlds either need tremendously powerful organizations clamping stuff like this down or it becomes a dystopian free for all very, very quickly.</blockquote>
