I don't think putting your redirects into a database table is the best approach. You're going to have the overhead of a database call for each redirect vs just defining your redirects in the web.php route file.

If your redirects are as straight forward as your question is suggesting, adding new-laravel after your domain root, you could do the following in your web.php route file.

// catch all routes that don't contain 'new-laravel'
Route::any('{all}', function (Request $request) {
    return redirect(url('/new-laravel/' . $request->path()), 301);
})->where('all', '^((?!new-laravel).)*$');

// create a route group to wrap and catch all your old routes
Route::group('/new-laravel', function () {
  Route::get('/old', function () {
    ...
  });
});

So trying to access website.com/old will redirect to website.com/new-laravel/old without the overhead of a database call.
